?Chapter 464:


    The doctor entered the room.


    Noticing that Lise was awake, he quickly arranged for his team to conduct a thorough physical examination. “The operation was sessful, but it’s crucial that you manage your recovery well. Most importantly, avoid any emotional strain.”


    Lise let out a relieved sigh upon hearing this. She gently ced her hand on her stomach, her expression brightening with a hopeful smile.


    “My baby is still safe, right? I’ve always dreamed of giving him the happiest family when he arrives.”


    Neil looked visibly distressed, as though he had something to say but ultimately held back. He turned away, unable to meet Lise’s hopeful gaze.


    The doctor was also taken aback.


    Hadn’t Neil informed her of the situation yet?


    Lise, ever perceptive, noticed the shift in mood and urgently sought an answer. “What happened? Is my baby still here?”


    Neil softly touched her shoulder, his own grief evident. “Lise, try to stay calm. The doctor just mentioned how important it is for you not to get upset.”


    “Answer my question first. Is my baby still with me?” Lise’s voice broke as she cried out, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her face went ashen, making her look incredibly vulnerable.


    Neil remained silent, his eyes reddening with unshed tears.


    He too had eagerly anticipated the birth of their child.


    Now, that future seemed to dissolve into nothing.

    All he could do was embrace Lise tightly. “Please, try to calm down. Once you’re more settled, I’ll tell you everything.”


    Tears streaked down Lise’s cheeks as she said through clenched teeth, “Don’t tell me to calm down!”


    Her eyes, filled with despair, pleaded with the doctor, “Please, can you tell me what happened to my baby?” Though the doctor had witnessed many such moments, Lise’s desperation was palpable.


    A profound sorrow still moved him deeply. He inhaled deeply, his voice filled with regret as he delivered the heartbreaking news.


    “Miss Bailey, I’m sorry, but your baby didn’t make it. To save your life, we had to remove your uterus as well.”


    Although Neil had been informed beforehand, hearing the tragic news again still pained him deeply. He was at a loss as to how Lise would handle such devastating information.


    Lise froze in Neil’s embrace, her body turning as hard as stone. Her facial expressions seemed to slip out of control, and she forced an unnatural smile.<fne9fb> For more chapters visit Find1Novel</fne9fb>


    “You’re joking, right? This must be some kind of cruel joke. My baby can’t be gone.”


    The doctor, feeling powerless, responded, “I understand this is extremely hard, but we had to make that decision to save your life. I am deeply sorry for your loss.” With those words, the doctor exited, leaving Neil and Lise alone.


    Lise sat on the bed, staring nkly as if her soul had been taken from her. Neil gripped her hand, his voiceced with desperation.


    “Lise, this isn’t the end. There are other ways we can start a family. We could always consider adoption. Please, just say something to me. Don’t frighten me like this.”


    Despite Neil’s pleas, Lise remained unresponsive. She was utterly lost in her grief, unable toe to terms with the loss of her child. Neil’s tears finally overflowed as he embraced Lise tightly.


    “This is all my fault. You were injured because you saved me. I’ll do anything to make this right. Please, Lise, give me that chance.”


    Lise slowly shifted her gaze, and then pointed weakly toward the door.


    “Can I be alone for a while?” she whispered.


    Neil paused, but then nodded slowly. Before he left the room, he cautiously removed any sharp objects, worried that Lise might hurt herself in her distraught state. Unbeknownst to him, as soon as the door shut behind him, the despair on Lise’s face disappeared.


    She even ced her hand over her stomach and sneered, a spark of victory in her eyes.


    She had known all along that she couldn’t maintain the pregnancy. Multiple abortions in the past had left her uterine wall too fragile to sustain a pregnancy to term.


    A sly smile crept across Lise’s face. “Ah, my baby… you’ve really worked out in my favor this time,” she whispered to herself, lost in her scheming, when suddenly, her phone started ringing.
