บททั้งหมดของ The Billionaire’s Surrogate Twins : บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 56

The emergency room doors burst open at 4:47 PM.Paramedics rushed through pushing a gurney. A young woman. Unconscious. Blood matting her dark hair. Her clothes were torn and stained. An oxygen mask over her face.“Female, mid-twenties, approximately three months pregnant with twins,” one paramedic called out to the trauma team already assembling. “MVA on Highway 101. Multiple vehicle collision. The patient was unconscious at the scene. GCS of eight. Vitals unstable. BP dropping. Fetal heartbeats are present but irregular.”The trauma team moved like a machine. Nurses cutting away clothing. Doctors barking orders. IV lines going in. Monitors being connected.“Get an ultrasound in here now,” the lead doctor commanded. “I need to know the status of those pregnancies immediately.”“Ultrasound’s coming,” a nurse confirmed.“Any ID on the patient?” another doctor asked.“No purse.

If she goes to authorities with whatever Lauren tells her, everything falls apart.”“I’m aware,” Viktor said.“So what do we do?” Victoria asked. “Do we grab her? Bring her in?

Distant like she was underwater and someone was calling her name from the surface but she couldn’t quite reach them.She tried to move. Her body wouldn’t cooperate. Everything ached. Deep, bone-level pain that radiated from places she couldn’t identify.Where was she?What happened?The last thing she remembered was driving. A black car. The highway. Another car coming straight at her.The crash.Oh God. The crash.Mia’s hand moved instinctively to her stomach. To check for injuries. To make sure she was okay.But her hand didn’t land on her flat stomach. It landed on something round. Swollen. Hard.Her eyes flew down.Her belly. It was huge. Impossibly huge.Panic flooded through her. What was wrong with her? Why was her stomach like this? Had she been injured in the crash? Was something growing inside her that s
