BOOKSDRAMA Chapter 236
"What are you so surprised about?" The doctor's voice sounded, "Clean the children up as soon as possible."
The cries of the two children rang in the emergency room, and Marie was relieved to hear that. She turned her gaze to Edric, only to see him putting
his hand on Irene's waist with a strange smile on his face.
On the other hands, Irene's expression was not full of anger or jealousy either. Instead, she was smiling. Marie sneered in her heart, as she did not
believe that Irene was truly happy about it.
The door of the emergency room opened, and two nurses came out with a child all wrapped up in each of their arms. When Marie saw the nurse
approaching, she smiled sinisterly. She then looked to Edric and raised her voice, "Edric, come and see your children!"
Marie's voice was so loud that the reporters and medical staff around could hear it clearly. As soon as Marie's voice fell, the reporters who were
waiting directed their cameras at the child in the nurse's hands and at Edric. That was what Marie wanted. She wanted everyone to know that Lily's
child was Edric's and she wanted to force Edric to take responsibility.
Nevertheless, Edric did not move. He looked at Marie with a smile and said, "How do you know they're my children, Dr. Walker?"
"Of course they are. Lily is your fiancée. Whose children is she pregnant with if not yours?" Marie retorted.
"You're wrong, she's my ex-fiancée. The engagement between the two of us has long since been annulled," Edric said.
"Although you and Lily broke off the engagement, Lily only got into a relationship with you. Who else can this child belong to?" Marie asked.
"You can't be so sure!" Edric was still smiling. He reached out and touched Irene's belly, "I only have one woman in my heart, and she's the only one
who's qualified to give birth to my child."
"It's no use denying it. Now that the children are already born, what are you going to do with them?" Marie said aggressively.
"What am I going to do with them? What do you mean by that?" Edric sneered, "Everyone still doesn't know why I had broken off my engagement
with Lily, right? Today, I'll take this opportunity to make it clear to everyone that Lily and I broke off the engagement because Lily had fallen in love
with another man. That was why I broke off the engagement with her."
"You're lying!" Marie retorted.
"You will know soon whether I am lying or not. Nurses, let the two babies in your hands say hello to the media!" The nurses followed his words and
held the children in their arms to face the cameras. Edric also kindly reminded, "They both are newborn babies. Don't turn on the flash, and just a few
pictures will do!"
When the nurses held the children to face the media, Marie also got to have a good look at the babies in the nurses' hands. It turned out that both the
babies' puplis were green. Marie was so surprised that she took a step back.
Irene was also taken aback. She only knew that Lily's child was not Edric's and thought that Edric would need to do a DNA test to confirm the truth
and whatnot, but she did not expect that Lily would give birth to such a foreign child. Even a fool would know that the children weren't Edric's.
"What's the meaning of this?" Marie shouted at the nurse.
"They're the pair of twins that Miss Cook just gave birth to!" The nurse replied, "Although the two children are premature, they are very healthy. Both
of them weigh more than 4 pounds too!"
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Marie's face was pale white. She looked at Edric who was sneering, "All of this is your fault, isn't it? It is
your doing, isn't it?"
"It's my doing? Dr. Walker, are you crazy?" Edric pointed to the children in the nurses' hand and sneered, "Are you suspecting that the children have
been swapped out? That's obviously impossible, right? Everyone was guarding at the doors, and the emergency room doesn't have a back door
either. The real reason behind this is that Lily had fallen in love with a foreign man and was pregnant with his baby."
He then turned to the media with a smile, "Everyone, that is all. You all can leave now!" The media immediately dispersed after they took plenty of
photos of such exciting news.
Marie collapsed onto a chair. Edric held Irene's waist and said, "Irene, the show is over. It's time for us to leave too!"
Irene nodded and left with Edric. When Edric passed by Marie with his arms around Irene's waist, he paused for a moment and said, "Marie, aren't
you going to inform Deborah about Lily giving birth?"
Edric's words surprised Marie. How did he know that Deborah was not dead? Before she could come out with an explanation, the doctor's urgent
voice came from the emergency room, "Hurry up, the woman who's recuperating after birth is bleeding! Quick, do a blood transfusion!"
Marie was worried about Lily's safety, so she impulsively rushed into the operating room. Edric glanced at Simon, who was standing at one side.
Simon never dreamed that things would be escalate so much. Seeing that Edric was looking at him, he took a step back. Edric then snorted and said,
"Remember to tell Deborah what happened here!"
After saying that, he left with Irene.
When Marie rushed into the operating room, she saw that the surgeon was trying to stop Lily's bleeding, "How is it?"
"I'm giving her a quick blood transfusion, but I can't control the blood from flowing out," the surgeon replied.
"Let me do it!" Marie was really anxious right then. She could not care less anymore, so she put on her gloves and rushed forwards to help. She
asked the surgeon and the nurse to massage Lily's uterus, and inject oxytocin and hemostatic drugs to stop her bleeding. However, in the end, she
was still bleeding, and the blood was even more than before.
If they could not stop a new mother bleeding, the best way to stop it was to cut out her uterus to protect her life. Marie did not want Lily to lose her
uterus, so she decided to use a safer method first to try to preserve it first. However, with that method of treatment, Lily's uterus was still too weak
when contracting. It was particularly weak at the bottom section, and her blood was not clotting at a critical rate. If a uterus' contraction was too weak,
it meant that the bleeding could not be controlled.
Seeing that Lily's blood loss was still increasing, the leading surgeon became anxious. She reminded Marie, "Dr. Walker, the woman has already lost
nearly 5000ml of blood, and we still have no way to control it. We have to find a way quickly."
By that time, only by cutting off the source of bleeding could they control the bleeding. The leading surgeon's intention was to remind Marie to cut off
Lily's uterus to protect her life.
Right then, Marie had no choice anymore, and she could only choose to cut off Lily's uterus. Lily's uterus was soon cut off. After the uterus was cut
off, she no longer bled. The whole rescue process lasted an entire night.
Lily was pushed out of the operating room, safe and sound. Marie was also exhausted. It was already dawn. The nurse persuaded her to go back to
rest, but Marie was worried about Lily, so she did not go home, but rested in the hospital's duty room.
Marie was too tired. She soon fell asleep on the bed in the duty room. Then, she was woken up by an ear-splitting scream. She opened her eyes at
once, and the door was pushed open. One of the nurses who was in charge of taking care of Lily rushed in, "Miss Cook is in a state of incredible
emotional distress. Dr. Walker, please go and have a look!"
Marie sat up in a hurry and followed the nurse to Lily's ward. Lily was sitting on the bed with disheveled hair while she screamed, "What is the
meaning of this? Impossible! There has to be a mistake! These are not my children! Call your superior. Someone must have replaced my children!"
Her shrill screams made the babies in the nurse's arms cry. The nurse who was holding the baby, was also frightened and at loss upon seeing Lily's
state. Another nurse tried to persuade her, "Miss Cook, they are your children. Everyone can prove it, including Dr. Walker!"
"No! It's impossible! I was pregnant with Edric's child, so how can the children have green eyes? There must be a mistake!" Lily shouted.
Marie entered the ward. Upon seeing the emotional Lily and the children in the nurses' arms, her face fell, "Who asked you to bring the children
here?"
"Miss Cook wanted to have a look at her children when she woke up. There's no reason for us not to let the children's mother see her own children,
right?" one of the nurses answered innocently.
"Madam Walker, you came just in time. My child has been swapped out by someone else. Get someone to help me find them right now. I must get my
children back!" Lily cried.
Seeing Lily's expression, Marie waved to the nurses to take the children out and said, "Lily, calm down. Your health is the most important thing."
"My poor children! My children have been swapped out by someone else!" Lily held Marie's hand while her body trembled, "Madam Walker, I beg you.
Please call my mother and tell her to come to the hospital to see me and help me get my children back!"
"Okay! However, you have to calm down first! I'll go to your mother right away, calm down," Marie gave the nurses a look and hinted at them to give
Lily a sedative. After the nurse gave Lily the sedative, she fell asleep.
Marie was distraught. Although she got to save Lily's life, she had forgotten all about the children. The children were a huge problem. The sperm
that Margaret handed to her was Edric's. She had even personally sent it to the sperm bank to store it. She was the one who had taken it out to
artificially inseminate Lily. It was impossible for any mistakes to happen during the process, but how did the children turn out to be green-eyed in the
end? What the hell was going on?
Lily had given birth to babies, but they weren't Edirc's. So trying to let Edric take responsibility was only a dream now. What should she do about the
situation as of the moment? It seemed that it was better to inform Deborah to let her know the situation first.
Edric sent Irene home, and coincidentally, Kinsey had also come back from work. She was surprised to see Irene and Edric returning together and
she asked, "Why are you two together now?"
"We're about to end it. There's no need to put on a show anymore," Edric replied.
"End it? What are you going to end?" Kinsey was puzzled.
Irene told Kensey about the matter of her and Edric putting on an act to go against Marie and Loraine and others. Hearing that Lily gave birth to two
green-eyed babies in the hospital that day, Kinsey laughed, "You two really are too smart. I really am curious as to how Lily is going to react when she
sees her children."
"I don't know how her exact reaction is going to be, but she'll probably go crazy!" Edric replied.
"You two are too devious. You knew that Lily had been pregnant with foreign babies, but you didn't tell me. I've been anxious this whole time for
nothing. I was also worried that Lily might cause trouble after giving birth to her children," Kinsey was not satisfied.
"Actually, we weren't entirely sure about it too," Edric replied, "I found out that the children in Lily's belly weren't mine after doing a DNA test, and I told
Irene about it, but Irene didn't know that the children were green-eyed. I only found out about it a few days ago too."
