Tears Filled Her Eyes

An emergency delivery had to be performed, but first, they would need to stabilize Bell.

The report from the doctor was that Bell had struggled to breathe on her own when she first arrived. She was screaming and clutching at her stomach. They were forced to sedate her to examine her properly.

The nurse who came to report to him gave him a sad look. She told him that she didn’t know Bell well but admired and respected her greatly. She promised Galen that the hospital staff would ensure she received the best treatment possible.

Galen nodded, and she left the room.

He was alone as Caleb had gone to update Corrine on Bell’s diagnosis.

He thought back over every moment of the fight with Roman. Every single hit, every stab, every punch. As the image of stabbing his eye fell over Galen’s mind, he let out a soft groan of guilt.

He clenched his jaw. It was stupid. He should have just let Roman go and stayed with Bell.

“Has it started already?” Caleb asked.
