Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 123

Just as Sherri had said, Trevon’s actions had indeed gained the admiration of many girls.

The nurses at the nurse station started to praise Trevon for being handsome and generous They

flourished him with all kinds of praise. One could write a short essay with the nice phrases and

sentences heard all afternoon.

Natalie drank too much water in the afternoon. She was about to go to the toilet when an anxious nurse

stopped her. “Mrs. Wilson, the pregnant woman, who was previously abused, has woken up. Let’s go

take a look.”

Soon, all the specialists from the various departments arrived on this floor. Sherri naturally came as

well. It was Tuesday, and it happened to be the inpatient department.

The two walked side by side behind the older doctors. “It looks like there’s justice in this world. That

pregnant woman has woken up from her comatose state”

Natalie said calmly. “When one door closes, another opens.”

They entered the ward grandiosely. They did not expect the patient to wake up so soon.

The pregnant woman on the bed looked pale. The pain on her body made her frown. She struggled to

open her eyes, but there was bleakness in her eyes. She slowly said with the aid of the ventilator,

“Please just let me die.”

Sherri was a sentimental person. Her eyes mstantly turned red. In this situation, the patient had lost her

will to live. This inevitably evoked the kindness felt deep in the hearts of the doctors present.

The director’s expression was solemn as he examined the patient and counseled her, “Miss, even if

you don’t think for yourself, think for your unborn child. There’s only hope if you’re alive. Look, your

mother has been watching over you.”

Two drops of sad tears fell from the corner of her eyes to the pillow. Perhaps despair was the greatest

sorrow in the world.

Sherri and Natalie examined the patient in turn. Her condition had basically stabilized. The most

important thing now was the patient’s psychological problem. It was obvious that she did not want to be

treated. That was very dangerous.

All the doctors walked out and suggested that the family find a psychiatrist to counsel the patient. The

patient’s family should also spend more time with the patient and persuade her.

The pregnant woman’s mother grabbed Natalie’s hand. “Mrs Wilson, can you help me persuade this

child? She doesn’t want to live anymore. She’s determined to die with her child. What should we do?

She cried ‘She’s my only daughter.”

“Ill try to chat with her, but there’s no guarantee she’ll listen to me. After all, I’m not a psychiatrist.”

The pregnant woman’s mother quickly modded as if she had grasped a glimmer of hope.

Natalie signaled with her eyes for Sherri to leave first. Natalie pushed open the door and entered agam.

The pregnant woman still did not have the slightest will to live. Tears kept streaming down from the

corners of her eyes like water from a hole in the sky.

Natalie stood there for a while without saying anything. She just turned on the fetal monitoring device.

Instantly, a fascinating heartbeat sound was heard in the silent ward. It was abnormally clear, stirring

one’s emotions.

“Did you hear that? It’s your daughter’s heartbeat. This shouldn’t be the first time you heard it. Logically

speaking, you should have already done this test and heard that this month”

After a pause, Natalie said slowly, “Tm divorced and a single mother. The pregnant woman on the bed

opened her eyes as if she wanted to ascertain if Natalie was speaking the truth.

“Do you think I’m lying to you? But I do have a child. It’s just that I didn’t tell anyone, and not many

people in the hospital know about it. My child wasn’t willing to let me come to work this morning. I gave

birth to him not because of his father but because he’s my flesh and blood. He and I are related by

blood. My original intention in keeping him was actually a little selfish. I wanted to have a loved one in

this world.”

Natalie guessed that the pregnant woman did not want to give birth to that man’s child and wanted to

die.

Natalie was not trying to persuade the pregnant woman to keep the child. Natalie only knew that the

pregnant woman had lost the desire to live, and Natalie wanted her to have the desire to live for a while

longer. As for what the patient would do in the future, it was the patient’s choice. Natalie had no right to

interfere

Everyone had their own way of living, but Natalie hoped the patient could be discharged well and alive.

“I don’t know why you and your husband got together back then, but I guess it’s most likely because

you liked or loved each other. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have married Jum. But we can’t give up on

ourselves because of a wrong choice in our lives. If you want to end your and your baby’s lives to make

him feel remorseful and repentant, it’s not worth it. It’s not worth it to torment yourself and your family to

try and wake up someone who doesn’t love you.”

Natalie thought that, at the very least, the patient and her husband were in love when they got married.

It would not have been a marriage agreement like hers.

Seeing that the patient was a little moved, Natalie continued, “A person’s fate is uncontrollable You

can’t choose which

family you were born into, who you will meet in the future, and what you will experience. However, it’s

obvious that your family treats you well. I think you’re fortunate.”

To persuade the patient, Natalie had to show her misery in front of the patient so that she would start to

sympathize with Natalie. If Natalie were more miserable than her, she would be visibly affected. The

pregnant woman on the hospital bed was visibly affected. She said weakly, “Does your family not treat

you well?”

Of course, they did not treat her well. She thought about how Harry and his family had hated her to the

core. However, she felt the same way toward their family as well.

“In the past, I only had my grandpa, but he passed away two years ago.”

Seeing some sympathy in the pregnant woman’s eyes, Natalie continued. “Back then, when I was

pregnant, I actually hesitated. However, in the end. I chose to keep the baby. Of course. I’m now very

gratified with my decision back then.”

The patient’s weak voice was heard again. “You’re really a great mother.”

Natalie smiled. Was she great? She was not great. She just wanted to have a loved one back then.

Who knew that she would reunite with her uncle’s family? However, she would not tell the patient about

that. She could only evoke the patient’s sympathy and willpower by being worse off than the patient.

“If you can live, then live well. Since you’ve woken up, don’t let God down. There’s only hope if you live.

When one door closes, another door opens. As long as you’re willing to try, there will always be people

who will take the trouble to come for you. Your current state might not be the end but the starting point.

Don’t split hairs. If you want to die, you’ll push yourself to a dead end and make the people who hurt

you look down on you.”

The patient’s eyes were filled with sympathy and envy for Natalie.

After chatting for about half an hour, Natalie saw that the patient’s eyes were not as bleak as before.

She turned around and left, walking to the door. “Madam, take good care of your daughter.”

The patient’s family member was so touched that tears welled in her eyes. While she wiped her tears,

she said, “Thank you, Mrs. Wilson.”

Today’s incident made Natalie lose faith in marriage once again. Marriage was like a bet. If one made

the right bet, one would be considered fortunate. If one made the wrong bet, one would be trapped in it.

This pregnant woman was an example. It had been difficult for her to break free from her marriage.

Falling out of love in marriage was not a reason for infidelity but an excuse to defend oneself. Since

one could not resist the temptation, why did one have to pretend to be deeply in love?

Sherri did not go downstairs. Instead, she entered Trevon’s ward. She could not help but push the door

open

and enter. When Trevon saw Sherri, Trevon was a httle surprised. However, Trevon asked calmly.

“Miss Landor, what’s the matter?” “Mr. Wilson, why are you alone? Why didn’t Mia bring the child to

accompany you?”

These words made the man frown. That woman had also mentioned a wife and child that day.

Yesterday, he asked Jim to investigate it. Recently, Jim’s efficiency had dropped drastically. Trevon did

not know what Jim was busy with

An imperceptible shrewdness flashed across Trevon’s eyes. I’ve protected them so well. Miss Landor,

how could possibly know who my wife and child are?”

you

Sherri was a little smug and started to speak indiscreetly. “Isn’t your wife Mia? Back then, your dream

girl flaunted her pregnancy in front of Natalie. However, Mia was no match for Natalie. Mia was

humiliated on the spot by Natalie.”

Trevon thought, “Dream girl’ Since when did I have a dream girl? It turned out that this was what

happened.”

After saying that, Sherri felt a chill and shivered. When Sherri met the man’s cold gaze, she felt an urge

to get out of there. “It was just a casual remark. Stay well. I’m leaving. Goodbye.”

Thank you, Miss Landor, for informing me today.”

“What! You’re welcome. You’re welcome.” Sherri did not understand what Mr. Wilson meant either.

looked grim. It was best to leave.
