Stomach?
This scene instantly made Lilia's heart sink.
Is Leila pregnant?!
Is this the reason why Mike wants to marry her?!
At that time, Lilia wasn't the only one surprised. Andrew suddenly stood up from the sofa, and his expression was clearly cold as ice.
That… that's very disappointing.
At this moment, Mike is patiently stepping in front of Leila. As he squatted down, he stared at Andrew with red eyes. "Brother, hurry up please call the doctor's assistant."
Andrew felt his blood boiling from hearing what his brother said. His face clearly disapproving.
Seeing this, Mike sat with Leila and looked at Andrew again. Then he closed his eyes tightly, and his voice trembled. "Brother, I beg you to help her! There is a wound on her stomach ..."
Hearing this, Lilia was relieved for some reason.
Mike said that Leila's stomach was injured, so it wasn't pregnancy.
The noise in the living room is too loud that Claire came in front of the railing on the second floor while still sleepy. "What's the matter? Did you guys fight?"
Her fingertips caressed the corner of her eye and fixed her gaze. "Mike, you're back ..."
When Claire appeared, Mike's expression ran out of control. He went to the second floor and pleaded silently. "Sister-in-law, help me ..."
"What's the problem?" Claire was startled, she was busy covering her stomach as she descended the stairs.
She rarely saw Mike's helpless side, let alone his hoarse and panicked voice.
When Claire came down, she saw Leila's figure sitting on the floor, her upper body leaning on Mike's arm, and her hands tightly over her stomach. Her face paled.
"Mike, what's wrong with Leila?"
"Sister please, call the doctor's assistant for me."
Mike's red eyes met Claire's warm eyes as he repeated the sentence again.
At this moment, he seemed to be putting all his hopes on his sister-in-law.
Even though Claire hated Mike in her heart, she still couldn't stand it. She suddenly looked at Andrew and said, "Hurry and call the doctor's assistant. Did you guys hear him?"
Andrew stepped forward and patted her on the back. "Don't be angry, the doctor's assistant will be here soon."
He just sent a message to the doctor's assistant.
Their family's doctor's assistant is on his way.
Though very reluctant, Andrew was surprised that his proud younger brother begged for help.
Does he really love Leila? Is this love really genuine?
...
Twenty minutes later, the doctor's assistant came. Mike then went to the guest room upstairs with Leila.
In the living room, Lilia remained silent as she was in a daze and didn't know what to say, while Claire and Andrew followed Mike and Leila into the guest room.
Leila is not pregnant, but has a nearly 20 cm knife wound that extends from her upper to her lower abdomen.
Just as Mike carefully escorted her upstairs, he made it clear that this was no joke.
Right now, Lilia didn't know how to express her mood.
She felt both happy and sad.
Fortunately, Leila is not pregnant, but she feels sad about Mike.
She could even feel that Mike really liked Leila.
"Did Clifford tell you that Leila was hurt?"
The wound is very long. Because of the stitching, it looks rough, like a centipede. And obviously looking a little scary.
In her lower abdomen, the threads were about to break off, and blood continued to flow out.
Looks like she almost died!
Hearing this, Jean looked at her and shook his head slowly.
Leila was hurt, which Clifford never said when he gave him report.
But what happened in front of him right now proved that Clifford didn't know.
Lilia's eyes were trembling slightly, inadvertently looking at the second floor. "I want to see!"
At this time, Chris' eyes shifted from his cell phone's screen and glanced at her. "Go and see her, tell me if she's going to live or die. Anyway, the wound opened because I kicked her."
Lilia looked at Chris who was speaking in a slightly guilty tone, then looked at the quiet man beside her.
A few seconds later, he nodded and got up. "Okay, we'll go up and have a look."
He also wanted to know if Leila would be okay.
After all, Leila must live before Mellisa returns.
...
In the guest room, the doctor's assistant is seen sewing Leila's wound.
She lay on her back helplessly, her cheeks pale and her hands on the sheets.
Seeing this scene, Lilia calmly looked away.
Andrew and Claire stood on one side, perhaps because the bleeding was too much. Andrew pulled Claire in his arms and patted her on the back to comfort her.
Mike stood at the back, lowering his head that no one could see his expression clearly. It was just that the muscles in his cheeks were constantly shaking and seemed to be trying to endure something.
"It hurts ..." Leila mutters on the bed. The doctor's assistant then paused for a moment.
This man is their family doctor's assistant. His current boss was looking after the Patriarch of Austin family at home, and he didn't have time to take him to the hospital.
Of course, his boss didn't need to bother coming all the way here only for something small like stitching a wound like this.
But he heard that a fierce conflict broke out in the Austin family because of this woman.
He has worked for the Austin family for nearly five years and has never seen anything like it.
This seemingly cold woman gave him a bad impression though she was lying weakly on the bed.
Lilia slowly approached from the door. She is standing right beside the bed, her eyes falling on Leila's face.
The two met, one calm, the other unsure.
Lilia didn't speak. Her eyes calmly stared at the badly injured woman, watching her mutter helplessly.
Leila immediately opened her eyes and looked at Mike. Looks like she's about to speak. As soon as the doctor's assistant cut the thread, her hand seemed to tremble and tugged at the wound.
"Take it easy, it won't hurt..."
Leila's forehead immediately sweated.
The doctor's assistant didn't pay attention. When he put down the scissors, he looked at the messy wound and said, "Who stitched this wound for you?"
"Whoever did it clearly wasn't doing their job properly and pretty much irresponsible. This kind of sewing technique is a total mess. Luckily, you did not experience severe shock or bleeding," he added.
Leila was a little panicked, and her voice was weak. "Sir, I don't want to have a scar. Could you help me sew it up again?"
"No!" The assistant glanced at her and gave a more professional objection.
"If it weren't for the torn wound caused by external force, you should be fine in four or five days. Now your wound can heal for weeks because most of your skin and tissue has stuck. If you want to re-stitch it, there is only one way. I'll cut and stitch all of your cuts back with a scalpel. Can you hold that?"
