Cant Be Saved

"What's wrong? Your stomach hurts?" Jessica's hair tumbled over her face as her body lost the strength to support herself. Her limbs gave in and fell backward into Alfred's arms. As soon as she swayed, Alfred wrapped his arms around her and slowly bent down to a more comfortable position.

He cradled her in his arms, using his chest as her pillow. "Our...Our..." She mumbled breathlessly as if she had done some excessive exercise.

"Does your stomach hurt? Where does it hurt? Could it be something you ate? Is there anyone who is a doctor here?! Help! Somebody!" Alfred shouted, his hands holding Jessica's cold ones tightly. He followed her stroking movement on her lower abdomen and caressed the area where she seemed to be feeling pain.

"Jess! Hang on. Jason just called the ambulance. You'll be alright. Stay with us okay? Take deep breaths and calm down." Selina took Jessica's left hand and instructed her at a moderate pace. As she spoke, she kept her eyes locked with Jessica's.

"Good. Very good. You're doing well. Alfred, don't move her until the paramedics get here. We were afraid of any accidents earlier, so we called for backup. They'll get here in three minutes." Selina reassured Alfred that help was arriving soon. The most important thing to do now is to calm Jessica's emotions down.

"My tummy hurts...My...My..." Jessica sucked on her lower lip, tightening her grip on Selina. She lowered her gaze to her lower abdomen where pressure accumulated for several minutes.

Selina shook her head, "Trust me. Everything will be alright. Focus on breathing in and out slowly. Okay? Alfred and every one of us will be right here for you. Don't think about anything right now." She patted Jessica's hand gently while sending eye signals to Celinda and Kyla for them to help out.

However, as soon as they tried moving away from their husband's arms, they realized they were stuck.

"Jess needs our help!" Celinda and Kyla spoke and pouted simultaneously while facing their husband.

"You're pregnant! You can't bend down neither should you go anywhere until the paramedics come. You need to go to the hospital and check to make sure everything is alright." Isaac glanced worriedly at Jessica but rejected his wife's request when he thought about the baby inside of her.

Their wedding was ruined and the situation was quite a mess. Ever since he found out that she was pregnant, he had tried his best to keep her calm. However, today's scenario must have affected her already to some extent.

Therefore, he couldn't risk any chances of her getting hurt. Besides, Selina and Jason already hurried over to help Alfred and Jessica. The paramedics were a few minutes away and will be able to help her better than them.

"You too, Celinda. We aren't doctors and can't diagnose what is wrong with Jessica. Let's give her some space to breathe while waiting for help to arrive. They'll get here shortly. You are also pregnant and shouldn't be moving around too much." Bryan's hands stacked gently on Celinda's abdomen.

Sighing, both pregnant women could only stand on the side while being embraced by their spouses. Amidst the chaotic scene, a peal of alarming laughter echoed like a broken clown toy. "Hahahahahhaa! I couldn't ruin that vixen's baby, but you killed your baby! Hahahahaha! How nice! I have someone to accompany me to hell!"

Madam Wang spread her arms towards the sky and laughed hysterically. "Did you think I came here last second and went straight to the ladies' room? I was here way earlier and overheard your conversation! Jessica might be pregnant! Hahahaha and now that her stomach is hurting, she will get a miscarriage. Even if the vixen saves the baby in her belly, Jessica won't be! Hahahahhaa! Very good!"

Nobody could distinguish whether she was happy or distressed about the situation. However, as seconds ticked away, she shouted more and more curses to Jessica and Isaac. "It seems like she can't be saved to curse her grandchildren," Kyla muttered lowly as her tightened fists trembled uncontrollably.

"But this is weird. If she overheard us then why would she still use the ladies' room to expose her plans?" Selina realized something didn't add up, but after rethinking again she decided it might have been a coincidence. After all, there is more than one restroom at the venue.

"Someone shut her mouth up!!! Stuff the rest of that chili lime sauce down her throat if she loves spicing the situation up so damn much!" Selina commanded in a reprimanded voice, urging someone to stop Madam Wang from triggering Jessica's condition.

"What..? Pregnant???" Sweat drenched his hand as Alfred held his wife in his embrace. All he could do now was watch her take deep breaths in agony.

"Hahahahha! So what if you try shutting me up! I will still mumble and speak! So what if I couldn't stomp on that vixen's cockroach stomach and kill the unborn animal in her? I can't make my move this time, but it doesn't mean she won't end up dead with her baby one day!" Madam Wang cursed viciously as she tossed narrowed glances to her surrounding. Although she could only squint and barely recognize anyone's face, she laughed hideously.

As Madam Wang was being held down by some guards, gurgles of chili sauce bubbling up from her throat could be heard. Some looked away, while others thought it was not enough to bring justice for what this woman had planned.

"The paramedics are here!" Jason announced as the manager of the venue guide them to Jessica.

"Everything will be okay, Jess. I'll be right by your side. Both you and our baby will be alright." Alfred repeatedly whispered these words to Jessica as they traveled to the hospital.

Upon arrival, doctors immediately assisted the staff members and rushed Jessica to one of the emergency rooms where doctors from various departments were already inside. One after another, doctors conducted exams on Jessica, while everyone else waited outside. As nurses walked in and out of the room, Alfred became more anxious with each second that passes.

Finally, a doctor walked in their direction. "Hi, are you the patient's..."

Before the doctor could finish pulling the surgical gloves off her hands, she found herself surrounded by a group of adults. Alfred stepped up to the doctor and spoke up. "I am her husband. How is she?"

"I'm sorry. We tried our best to save her..." The doctor frowned as she announced the news to the crowd.
