My Maternity Records Belong to Another Woman novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Evelyn blacked out on the way to the hospital.

When she woke up, the stark white ceiling above her confirmed she was in a hospital room. The

sharp smell of disinfectant filled her nose.

She slowly moved her eyes to take in her surroundings the room was empty. There was no one

but her.

From outside the door came the muffled voices of two nurses, tinged with sarcasm and disdain.

“Ms. Hart only had some scratches on her arm, but Mr. Roscente rushed all the doctors over and even made sure they used the best medicine so she wouldn’t scar.

))

“And this Ms. Winston? Nearly drowned and lost consciousness, yet she only gets watched by two interns. The difference is night and day.”

“No kidding. I passed by her room earlier, and Mr. Roscente was calling Ms. Hart ‘honey‘ like she was the love of his life. He’s totally wrapped around her finger.”

Evelyn’s fingers twitched slightly. A bitter taste rose in her throat.

She remembered the time she had a fever of 39°C. Matthew had called a private doctor in the middle of the night and stayed up all night.

Now, after nearly drowning, she didn’t even have anyone sitting by her bed.

The door opened.

Wo intern nurses stepped inside. One of them rolled her eyes when she saw

Evelyn awake.

“Well, look who’s finally up. Tough to take down, huh?”

Evelyn said nothing, slowly sitting up with some effort.

“Oh, quit pretending,” the other nurse scoffed. “You knew he already had someone else. Ms. Hart and Mr. Roscente have a kid together, and you’re still clinging on? Pretending to drown just to make a scene that’s disgusting.”

Evelyn finally looked up at them, her voice hoarse. “Who told you I was the homewrecker?”

The nurse sneered. “No one had to. Ms. Hart is my friend. She and Mr. Roscente are madly in love, they have a baby, and you just had to butt in between them. What else could you be?”

“Mr. Roscente was so worried about Ms. Hart, calling her ‘honey‘ over and over and begging the doctors to save her skin. You?”

She paused, looking Evelyn up and down with contempt.

“You were lying there unconscious and nobody cared. Maybe it’s time you woke up to reality.”

Evelyn said nothing. She simply lowered her gaze, hiding the bitterness in her eyes.

One of the nurses pulled out a syringe and, without performing any allergy test, grabbed Evelyn’s

arm and jabbed it in.

She flinched as the needle pierced her skin, but the nurse held her down and jabbed deliberately

again. And again. Until blood trickled from multiple wounds on her arm.

“This is for hurting Ms. Hart. You deserve it. Now quit faking a few needle pricks aren’t gonna kill you. Lie down and behave.”

She spat out the words and left the room with a slam of the door.

Evelyn sat motionless. Her arm burned, and her eyes reddened as she looked down. Dozens of

needle marks ran along her skin, blood oozing in thin lines.

She reached for the gauze on the table to stop the bleeding, but suddenly, her breathing turned

erratic. Her chest tightened, as if a boulder was pressing down, and every inhale cut like a blade.

An allergic reaction.

Realizing it, she reached for the emergency call button and pressed it several times

The nurses‘ words echoed in her mind.

“All the doctors were sent to Ms. Hart’s room.”
