Snare of Love novel Chapter 21

When Dolores arrived at the hospital, Sampson was sitting along the corridor outside the patient’s room with both his hands on either knee. He was bent forward slightly and deep in his thoughts. He didn’t even realize it when Dolores was standing beside him.

“What are you thinking of?”

Sampson raised his head and held back his emotions when he saw Dolores. He looked towards the patient’s room and said, “Your mother’s emotions aren’t stable.”

Dolores had mentally prepared herself, “Okay, you can go back to rest. I’ll look after her.”

Sampson glanced at her abdomen and said, “You also need to rest.”

“Rest assured that I’ll take good care of myself.” Dolores smiled calmly at him.

Sampson was silent for a moment and then nodded, “Call me if you need anything.”

Dolores acknowledged and Sampson stood up to leave. Dolores looked at his back view and pursed her lips. Although she knew him for a rather long time, she didn’t know much about his family background and family members. She practically didn’t know anything about those.

He was obviously worried about something to be deep in his thoughts.

At this moment, Sampson stopped, turned, and looked at Dolores, “I heard something from those women. Someone paid them to say those things and to splash paint on your door.”

Dolores nodded. “Okay. Sampson, you can also talk to me if something is troubling you.” Dolores looked at him.

Sampson smiled, “I’m fine.”

Dolores didn’t pester him. Everyone has something which they do not want to share with others.

She didn’t go into the room immediately after Sampson left. She was thinking about who would pay those neighbors to do such things? Annabelle? Beulah? But they didn’t know that she was pregnant. Then…

Crash!

Suddenly, what sounded like something smashing on the ground came from the patient’s room. Dolores was startled and quickly pushed open the door and saw the broken glass at Jessica’s feet. She went over to pick up the glass shards, “Mom, do you want a drink? Take a seat first and I’ll pour you some water after I clean up…”

Before she could finish, Jessica grabbed her wrist and looked like she was in a trance, “Lola.”

Dolores looked up at her mother, “Yes?”

Jessica was very conflicted and grabbed Dolores’ hand with increasing strength, “Can you terminate your pregnancy?”

This just started what if the baby was born without a father? What would others think of them if the baby was blond with blue eyes? Dolores knew that Jessica was traumatized but she didn’t expect her to bring up the past.

“Mom…”

Jessica released her and as if her soul had left her body, “You’re reluctant to. I knew that you will be unwilling to.”

She sat at the head of the bed and leaned back in a daze, “Jeremy is gone, he’s gone…”

Dolores was stunned and in disbelief. What happened to her? Dolores quickly called for the doctor but Jessica didn’t cooperate and even wanted to hurt herself. As a result, the doctor gave her an injection to calm her down.

“The initial prognosis is the patient has some mental illness.” The doctor said after conducting some checks.

Dolores’ body started to sway and had to steady herself by holding onto a cupboard behind her, “How did it become so serious?”
