Chapter 502
Chloe could immediately tell something was wrong. Linda's face was etched with genuine pain and fear. Chloe jumped up to check on her, and that's when she noticed the alarming red stain on Linda's pants. Chloe had never seen anything like it, but the sight of the bright blood made her heart race. Linda's face was twisted in agony. "Chloe, please save my baby, I beg you..."
The ambulance still hadn't arrived. Chloe called to find out what was going on and learned there had been a pile-up in the southern part of town, and all ambulances had been sent there instead.
Despite suspecting that Linda might be playing some kind of game, Chloe couldn't ignore her own conscience. She scooped Linda up and got her into the car, with Ann tagging along. Chloe told Ann to film everything on her phone, just in case Linda tried to pull a fast one later.
They made it to the hospital in no time. Chloe carried Linda inside, where she was quickly put on a stretcher and whisked into the emergency room. Chloe waited outside, unsure of what was happening.
While waiting, she remembered to call Lucas. She tried several times, but he didn't pick up, so she gave up. Chloe was about to leave but decided to stick around until Linda came out of the emergency room. She needed to know what was going on.
A doctor came out, pulling off his mask. "Where's Linda's family?" he asked. Linda was awake and pointed at Chloe. "It's her."
Chloe frowned but stepped forward. "Doctor, you can tell me what's going on. I'll pass it along to her family."
The doctor explained, "She had signs of a threatened miscarriage. The placenta is positioned low, and there was significant bleeding, but it's stopped now. Both mom and baby are out of immediate danger."
Chloe let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. She wasn't sure if she was relieved for the baby's sake or because any scheme Linda might've had had fallen apart.
Chloe nodded. "What caused this?"
The doctor shrugged. "Could be a lot of things-emotions, health, maybe the baby was just too active."

her. Linda was moved to a regular room, and the doctor prescribed some meds to help with the pregnancy. They'd keep an eye on her for a couple of days, and if there was no more bleeding, she could go home.
Chloe was about to head out when a nurse roped her into helping with some tasks; since Linda had more tests to do. Before long, Chloe had

In the room, a nurse was monitoring the baby's heartbeat. The sound was strong and fast. Hearing it, Chloe felt a wave of awe. She realized for the first time that this was a living being about to make its entrance into the world, and it was something amazing.
Once everything was sorted, Chloe placed the reports by Linda's bed. "Threatened miscarriage. Take it easy and look after yourself."
As Chloe turned to leave, Linda called out, "Chloe, have you seen this baby?"
