Chapter 1631
"That's patient confidentiality. Why do I have to tell you?" Owen sounded righteous. He tilted his head a little and instructed the
nurse handling the surgery table behind him, "Don't forget to put Ms. Everheart on an IV drip later. Her body is weak after the
surgery. Don't be careless."
The nurse had cleaned up the surgery table. Renee was lying on it motionlessly, waiting for the anesthetic to pass.
At first, Owen said that Renee could have a medical abortion because the fetus was still small. But after the check-up, he found
that the fetus was adhered quite firmly, so eventually he needed to perform dilation and a curettage to clear everything.
Renee was afraid of pain, so she chose regional anesthesia and let Owen handle it. Now, after everything was over, grief hit her
like a wave. She couldn’t even protect her baby. Lying on the surgery table, she could hear the fight outside, and tears ran down
her cheeks.
"Confidentiality?" Stefan tried his best to control his temper and bit out," There are no secrets between US. I have the right to
know everything about her." At first, he didn't think it was serious, but judging by Leia and Owen’s behaviour, he suspected
something bigger was afoot. He couldn't afford to be careless.
"If you want to know, go ask Ms. Everheart. I don’t want to offend anyone, so I'll just get back to work,"
Owen deflected and tried to leave.
"Stop!" Stefan blocked Owen, determined to get an explanation.
"Hey, I'm just a doctor. Don't pull me into your marital issues..." Owen anxiously wiped away his sweat, caught in a dilemma.
"Stefan, stop making things difficult for Dr. Wagner," Renee called out weakly. She knew how persistent
Stefan was, and knew she could no longer keep this a secret. She didn't want to trouble anyone.
"Dear, how are you feeling?" Stefan instantly stopped snarling, and looked like a tame kitten. He hurried over to the surgery table
to check on Renee, frowning when he couldn't tell what surgery she had.
"I'm fine. Dr. Wagner just took something out of my body," Renee spoke calmly, but there were tear stains at the corners of her
eyes.
"What... happened?" Stefan glanced at the bloody medical equipment in the dustbin nearby. He had a bad feeling he knew what
it was, but he didn't want to think about it. Renee always shared everything with him, whether good or bad, and they would
always make decisions together. Surely she wouldn't treat him like a fool and hide it from him.
