Chapter 106 Everything Should Have Awakened
Seeing that I had woken up, she called for the doctor with a face full of joy.
I looked around at the vast whiteness, at the few people dressed in white gowns surrounding me, and I knew in my heart, this was a hospital.
Watching the doctors examine me thoroughly and then say something to my mother, she nodded repeatedly. Afterwards, those doctors left.
My mother sat beside me, holding my hand, choking back tears as she said, “You’re awake, is there anything you want to eat? Shall mom make it for you?”
I was looking at my mother, about to speak, when the door was pushed
open.
Two people hurried in, they were Alexander and Olivia.
“Tabatha, you’re awake, that’s great. I’ll go tell Carley and Walter,” said Olivia, before she scurried off.
I wanted to call out to her, but it was too late.
Alexander stood by with his arms crossed, tilting his head at me, he said, “You lost so much blood, honestly, I thought you wouldn’t wake up.”
The mother hastily patted him, saying, “Quick, spit it out, Tabatha is awake, you can’t talk nonsense.”
Alexander nodded, laughing, “Good, good, good, I spit.”

I watched them, a lump in my throat that I couldn’t express, but still looked at my mother and said, “Mom… my child…”
Mother averted her gaze, forcing a smile as she said, “Tabatha, the doctor said you can have some light food. I’ll go cook something for you.”
Saying this, she didn’t even look at me, got up, wiped her tears, and left.
I watched her leave, knowing in my heart that she avoided my question because she was afraid it would upset me.
“The doctor did his best. You lost too much blood, and we almost couldn’t save you. The child was too small, there was no way to save him,” Alexander said, his handsome face looking at me, his voice heavy beyond measure.
I pursed my l*ps, staring at the ceiling above, a throbbing pain began in my chest, as if numerous needles were pricking me incessantly.
Even when I was unconscious, I knew, this child, couldn’t be saved.
But now, having truly heard this news, every inch of my b*dy still ached.
“You’re still young…” Alexander looked at me like this, pulled over a chair and sat next to me, and began to speak, “There will be more in the future, as long as you take good care of your health…”
“I’m fine.” I interrupted him, pulling a smile and looking at him, “He was only six weeks old, not yet formed. Maybe it’s a good thing he left. I originally thought his arrival was a sign from God, telling me that I could be bolder, strive for my marriage, strive for the one I love. I didn’t expect that God had a different meaning. He probably wanted me to be more thorough, not to hesitate, not to foolishly refuse to let go.”

“Squeak!” The hospital room door was pushed open.
The ones who came in from the door were Carley, and… Walter.
Seeing them, Alexander stood up, gave Walter a cold glance, then turned back to me and said, “If you don’t want to see them, I can drive them away for you.”
I shook my head, looking at him with a forced smile, “It’s okay, you go ch*ck on my mom.”
He furrowed his brows, fell silent for a moment, glanced at Walter and Carley, and after a long while, said, “I’ll be outside, call me if you need anything.”
I nodded.
After Alexander left, Carley sat down on the chair, still with her usual kind and gentle look. She looked at me and sighed slightly, “Are you feeling better?”
I nodded, opening my mouth slightly, “Hmm.”
She grunted, probably because she really didn’t know how to comfort me, paused for a moment and said, “You’re still young, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
I still nodded, opened my mouth slightly, and responded with a soft, “Hmm!”
She took out a document bag from her handbag and handed it to me, saying, “The environment over at Gra*s Bay is nice, with beautiful scenery and hot springs, suitable for recuperation. I had Dale buy you a villa there. After you’re discharged from the hospital, you can go there for your confinement and take good care of your health.”
I pursed my l*ps, knowing in my heart that for people like Carley, the

best way to appease them was nothing more than money and material possessions. No matter how much you talk, it’s all empty words, not as substantial as a house worth tens of millions.
She had always been like this in handling matters, knowing that she wouldn’t say anything too pleasing. Therefore, she used a villa to suppress the resentment in my heart, which could be considered as a compensation.
I looked at her and softly said, “Thank you, Grandma.”
She nodded, placed the items on the infusion stand next to me, stood up to glance at Walter, and then left.
In the empty ward, the atmosphere was indescribably oppressive. I didn’t look at the person standing next to me, just closed my eyes tiredly. My heart still hurt.
