Chapter 1645: Chapter 1648: Zara Lucas Isn’t Much Better Either (Additional 6)
"You... I told you, don’t be too upset. Honestly, it’s already a miracle that your life was saved. You had an ectopic pregnancy for over a month. Normally, as long as the condition is caught early, surgery can be pre-planned for conservative treatment."
"But because you suddenly experienced massive internal bleeding in your uterus, resulting in shock, we had no choice but to remove your uterus in order to save you..."
An ectopic pregnancy is already life-threatening for women.
To make matters worse, Zara Lucas didn’t even realize she was pregnant, and then Brandon Lucas kicked her, leading to massive bleeding.
In critical moments like these, the doctor could only prioritize saving the patient’s life.
"My... uterus... was removed?"
Zara Lowe stared blankly at the nurse, almost refusing to believe what she had just heard.
"Yes." The young nurse’s eyes reddened. "You... you’re so unlucky... Even surviving was nothing short of a blessing from Fortune. When I found you, you’d collapsed in the hospital corridor, already unconscious. How could you be there alone? Where is your family? How could they let you come here alone?"
The naive nurse had no idea that Zara Lowe had suffered physical trauma, which ultimately led to the internal bleeding.
She assumed that Zara had come to the hospital for a check-up and fainted only when her condition suddenly spiraled out of control.
"I... I..." Zara Lowe’s voice was hoarse, at a loss for words.
Should she tell the nurse that her husband had long kept a mistress and couldn’t care less about her?
Or should she reveal that the reason she had collapsed there was courtesy of her own biological father?
Her uterus...
Such an important part of a woman.
Not only a symbol of her hope for the future but the cornerstone for binding a husband and continuing a family lineage.
And yet now, after simply waking up from sleep, she was informed that her uterus had been removed.
"No... impossible..." Zara suddenly shouted, trying to sit upright.
"I was pregnant! I could have made Gale Holbrook come back to me! I don’t believe it, there’s no way my child is gone!"
"Oh, please don’t get worked up... You can’t move right now, your wound hasn’t healed yet..."
The young nurse tried to restrain the agitated Zara Lowe.
Seeing her continuing to struggle and ignore all warnings, the nurse had no choice but to call a colleague to administer a tranquilizer, sending her back into unconsciousness.
Looking at the now-quiet and unresisting Zara Lowe.
The young nurse wiped away tears from the corner of her eye.
Sigh... What a pitiful girl.
She’s still so young, and yet she’s lost the most important thing for a woman.
Who knows how her husband and his family will treat her now...

Inside the VIP ward, Sylvia Scott stood quietly by the bedside, watching Lily sleep.
When she returned, Lily was already resting.
Sylvia didn’t disturb her, simply standing there.
Looking at her daughter’s peaceful sleeping face, her heart was filled with warm tenderness.
"Madam..." Sadie tiptoed into the room and leaned close to Sylvia, whispering, "Everything downstairs has been taken care of. Just now Brandon Lucas came with his people and witnessed everything."
"Oh? How did Brandon react?" Sylvia raised an eyebrow inquisitively.
"It’s exactly as you predicted, Madam. He immediately sent Michelle Carter to the Psychiatry Department, saying something was wrong with her here." Sadie tapped her temple.
Sylvia’s lips curled into a smile; this was all within her expectations.
A man who would harm Sophia Origin for the likes of Michelle Carter was never going to be someone honorable or loyal to begin with.
"No problem. We can still gift them one more surprise. Send Brandon Lucas the footage of Michelle Carter cheating on him and post it online. Isn’t she fond of spreading rumors, accusing our Lily of infidelity? Fine, let’s show her what true infidelity looks like."
What Sylvia was doing to Michelle Carter wasn’t harsh—it was merely poetic justice.
