She had waited for this child for fifteen years. She found out about her pregnancy today and lost it on the same day.
Hans had always looked forward to this baby coming into their lives. But he wasn't there when this child needed him to save her.
Violette took off her wedding ring and threw it in the trash.
"Okay, we'll perform the surgery immediately, ma'am."
Violette stared at the ceiling of the operating room. Her face was pale, her lips colorless and marked with bite marks because she kept biting them.
The doctors and nurses were busy around her, preparing the equipment for the surgery.
"Mrs. Lombardi, we're about to begin the surgery. We'll give you anesthesia so you won't feel any pain."
"No need. Don't give me anesthesia."
She needed a reminder of when the fully developed fetus was removed from her womb and how Hans was not present.
"Okay, start the operation."
"Yes, doctor."
Violette felt something being pulled out of her body, and the pain grew sharper. She tried not to cry, but her tears could no longer be held back.
"It's over, Mrs. Lombardi. The fetus has been removed."
Violette felt her body go weak, and everything went dark.
Tears streamed from the corners of her eyes.
