A Woman drenched in blood was pacing back and forth in front of the surgery room and a doctor came out looking dejected, she looked at him and smirked as if he could read his mind already
He is not dead, is he?
The doctor looked down and removed his nose mask
I'm sorry Mrs kings
Tell me!! She yelled angrily
We lost him! Please take heart madam, he said and walked away slowly
Aza looked up at the door that read surgery room and couldn't utter a word and no tears were coming down her face, she stood there looking at the door with amusement and she looked down at her stomach which was protruding then to her legs to see the water streaming down
A lady in her early 20s came behind her and held her hands with a worried look
Ma'am your water has broken, please let's go to the maternity
Aza shivered and she held her stomach angrily
Garcia! She called out slowly
Yes ma'am
It's because of this child, William died because of this child, if I wasn't pregnant he wouldn't take the bullet right? I would be the one dying
Ma'am, please don't take it to heart we need to go to the maternity ward now
I do not need a child that will take my husband away!! She shouted angrily and her voice echoed throughout the hospital
Ma'am!
William is dead Garcia! He is fucking dead!
I'm sorry ma'am! Garcia said and hit her from the back and she passed out, please take her away! She instructed the guard's standing behind her and they carried her into the maternity ward to deliver her child
Aza jerked up from her sleep and saw many lights on her
Where I'm I?
It's time for your delivery Mrs. Kings, the doctor said and the pain hit her, hard!
She held her chest and then her back and she struggled to keep the scream in, I do not want the child! Let me die with William!
Ma'am, please don't say that
She struggles so much and she screams hard, William! She said slowly and tears kept running down her face, I'm going to die! The pain was unbearable and she kept letting out her screams she was forced to push and she passed out immediately after the baby came out
Garcia barged into the ward after hearing her voice go silent
What happened to her? She demanded aggressively
She passed out but she had no complications
The baby?
She's fine as well
She? It's a girl?
Yes ma'am
Oh my goodness! We have a new Aza
