Chapter 308: Chapter 314: Abandoned by All (9)
"Thank you." Zuri Ginger choked out.
"Who is the family member?" The female doctor glanced around, hesitated a bit when she saw Koa Jackson, and finally fixed her gaze on Aiden Jiang’s face, feeling something was a bit off.
Unable to recall where she had seen him before, she hesitated to speak, "I need to explain this girl’s situation to you."
"Go ahead, I’m her father," Aiden Jiang said.
"The wound on her face needed four stitches, cosmetic stitches, so it shouldn’t leave any scars. Girls love beauty these days, it’d be best to stay for observation for a few days."
"All right." Aiden Jiang said indifferently.
"Mostly..." the female doctor hesitated a moment before continuing, "the girl is showing some signs of miscarriage."
"What did you say?" Aiden Jiang was shocked.
"There’s bleeding," the doctor said succinctly, "I asked a couple of questions earlier; her answers were vague but it’s clearly not her menstrual period..."
The doctor paused slightly before finally giving a reminder: "Once the anesthesia wears off, the wound will hurt. It’s better to hold off on eating for a bit, drink some warm water slowly with a straw preferably. In half an hour, the outpatient department will be open; I wouldn’t recommend IV drip for now. Wait in the observation room, and get an examination first. If she’s pregnant, it would be more complicated..."
Aiden Jiang’s face was gloomy.
He glanced down at Zuri Ginger beside him, his lips twitching twice.
Zuri Ginger bit her lip twice, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "Dad, I’m sorry. I’m sorry, I..."
Seeing how unusual the situation was, the female doctor nodded and left.
Aiden Jiang took a deep breath, pointed at Zuri Ginger, and spoke harshly, "How did I end up raising such a shameless thing!"
"Dad." Zuri Ginger raised her voice to call for him, started crying again as she went on, "Rowanda Peterson and I truly love each other. I don’t know... I don’t know how I ended up pregnant, but we... We couldn’t help ourselves. Please don’t be angry, let me keep the child, sob, don’t take away my right to be a mother."
Aiden Jiang looked at her angrily, and for a long while, couldn’t utter a word from the anger.
Bob Ginger was obviously shocked by the sudden situation, looking at the bloodstain on her skirt in disbelief, biting his lip in silence.
He couldn’t help but glance at Mia Ginger.
Mia Ginger was equally stunned, taking a long while to regain her composure.
Finally—
she looked up at Koa Jackson.
Koa Jackson’s face couldn’t be more unpleasant.
He looked steadily at Zuri Ginger for a moment, then turned around and walked away.
"Brother Jackson."
Mia Ginger called out, quickly following him.
Behind them—
Zuri Ginger tightly clutched the hem of her skirt, and breathed a sigh of relief.
She’s a literature student at Cloud Capital University, though not studying law, she possessed basic legal knowledge.
Naturally aware that pregnancy could prevent sentencing.
So—
she suddenly had a plan when the doctor asked earlier.
Aiden Jiang appeared gentle in temperament but was tough in methods, and Koa Jackson surpassed him in every way, clearly standing up for Mia Ginger.
Her tearful plea just now was to no avail.
This child she must keep.
At this point, she could only take it one step at a time.
Pregnant, she could delay for at least a year, and even the law couldn’t do anything about it, let alone Koa Jackson.
And Rowanda Peterson.
She must find a way to gain Rowanda Peterson’s complete trust.
Yes, she must hold onto Rowanda Peterson tightly; he’s the only and final escape route now.
As long as she doesn’t end up in jail, there’s still room for everything.
Thinking of this—
Zuri Ginger appeared more desolate, looked pitifully at Aiden Jiang, her eyes blurred with tears, "Dad, Rowanda Peterson and I truly love each other. I want the child, not to lose our child, I’m begging you, I..."
"Enough, enough," Aiden Jiang was annoyed, waving his large hand, "Bob, take her to the observation room."
"Okay." Bob Ginger responded sullenly.
He walked forward and pushed her to the observation room.
Aiden Jiang took his phone and went aside to call Charlotte Chester.
Meanwhile—
Koa Jackson left the emergency department quickly with a cold face.
"Brother Jackson."
Mia Ginger hurriedly called, walking too fast and bumped into his back.
Koa Jackson stopped in his tracks.
He turned and looked down at her, his heart heavy with pity, pulling her firmly into his arms.
"Brother Jackson."
Mia Ginger finally let out a sigh of relief, wrapped her arms around him tightly, and softly said, "Don’t be so angry. I... I’m really okay. Zuri Ginger is pregnant, does that mean she can’t be sentenced?"
"You want to forgive her?" Koa Jackson frowned.
"No," Mia Ginger sensed his barely restrained anger in his tone and quickly said, "No, I just... just..."
She simply didn’t want him to be so angry.
Didn’t want him to be agitated, angry, and fatigued because of her.
"As long as you don’t, that’s fine." Koa Jackson patted her shoulder, "Don’t worry about it; things will be handled accordingly! Even if pregnancy means avoiding sentencing now, she can be sentenced once the pregnancy is over. Ultimately, she won’t escape justice, don’t worry."
"Okay."
"Good girl." Koa Jackson touched her cheek, "Does it still hurt?"
"No pain at all." Mia Ginger looked up at him, smiling with a well-behaved expression, "Not a bit."
"Let’s go back to the apartment." Koa Jackson held her hand and walked out, speaking as he walked, "You must be tired from not sleeping all night. You can nap in the apartment, and when I get off work at noon, we’ll have lunch together."
"And you?" Mia Ginger inquired.
"I have to attend consultations this morning." Koa Jackson stroked her hand, smiling lightly, "I’ll just go back to freshen up and change clothes."
