Chapter 46: Chapter Forty

ERWIN

All of a sudden I feel cold. So cold as dread sinks deeper into my bones and despair starts to gnaw on me. My ear is ringing, my thoughts all scrambled and my chest is squeezing so tightly into a knot that it is depriving all the oxygen from my lungs as I stand there, all my limbs frozen as well as the nerves in my body.

Ruth cusses out aloud, not minding that it is a hospital. His hospital scrubs are soaked in blood too. "Is his uterus okay? I mean, is it damaged?" Ruth asks, worried half to death.

"No." The doctor replies, "His reproduction system is completely fine. So, now if you excuse me." The doctor pats my shoulder sympathetically before walking away. The nurse behind him also shoots me a very sympathetic look before following suit.

I don't need your fucking sympathy. Just give my child back to me.
