Chapter 435 - 435: What Happened to Her? (2/2)

Erick immediately proceeded to where Charles was waiting. He saw him standing in the waiting area.

Charles was surprised to see Erick. He arrived so fast. The moment Erick saw Charles, he ran towards him. After reaching his spot, he held both his shoulders.

”H-How is she? W-What happened to her?” Erick's voice was trembling. Charles could still see the moisture in his face. He knew that Erick cried and shed some tears.

”Please… t-tell me... She's just fine.” Erick said desperately. He felt like his heart was going to burst right at this moment.

”Hey, Erick! Please calm down. She's still being examined by the doctor. Nothing bad will happen to her.” Charles said, trying to comfort him.

”How can I calm down? My wife just collapsed for an unknown reason.” Erick was in a panicking mode right now.

Charles just looked at him helplessly. He understood that Erick was just worried about Elle.

”What if this happened because of the toxin in her body? Charles… I can't take it once something bad happens to her once again. I think this time I will not be able to survive this. I don't want to lose her. I want her to be safe. I want her to be healthy. What should I do?” Erick couldn't help but burst out in front of Charles.

”Erick, I understand. Let's just wait. Elle will be alright. She's a strong woman.” Charles didn't know what to say anymore just to console Erick.

His fear and his concern for Elle already clouded his mind. Erick felt like he was going nuts. Charles couldn't bear to see him acting like this.

Erick thought of one person- Mr. Carter. He immediately dialed his phone number. He needed him. He was knowledgeable about the same toxin that was present on Elle's body. After ten seconds, the call got connected and Mr. Carter's voice was heard from the other line.

Mr. Carter: ”Oh, young man, what's up? Why did you call me?”

Erick: ”Mr. Carter, where are you, right now?”

Mr. Carter: ”I'm at my house, why?”

Erick: ”I'm sorry to ask you this. I know you don't like coming to the Hospitals. But I need your help. My wife, Elle just collapsed. I am afraid that this might be related to the toxin in her body. Can you come here to City Z General Hospital to check on her condition? Please?

Hearing his desperate plea, Mr. Carter didn't have the heart to refuse Erick's request. He immediately agreed and told him that he was coming.

Then after a while, the doctor who examined Elle approached Charles and Erick.

Erick: ”Doc, how is she?”

Charles: ”Doc, how is she?”

Both of them asked her in unison. The doctor paused for a moment, darting her gaze back and forth between Charles and Erick. Charles and Erick were both staring at her silently, anticipating her answer.

A few seconds later, the doctor finally spoke up. But instead of answering them, she asked the two men a question.

”Who's among you is the father?”

Charles and Erick were both rendered speechless. At first, they didn't absorb what the doctor meant by saying that.

”Father?” It was Charles who managed to ask the doctor back.

The doctor nodded her head with a cheerful smile on her face. ”Yes, a father. Who's the father of the child the patient is carrying? She's pregnant.”
