Forced Marriage: Escaping Her Monster

Chapter 343 - The Report

Jerlina was confused as to what might have transpired here. But she could understand that Emma didn\'t help Dr. Kruger have the pills. Whether she did it on purpose or not doesn\'t matter and so does why she did it. All Jerlina understood by now is that while Jeremy\'s mom was trying hard to get the pills, Emma did nothing to help.

But right now she needed to make sure that Jeremy\'s mom is fine. If she still needs further treatment she needs to contact a hospital since there aren\'t any cardiologists hired in the clinic yet.

As Jerlina was calculating the next steps, she could see through her peripheral vision Emma trying to sneak out.

"Charlie, stop Emma, please," Jerlina asked Charlie and he left her side to handle Emma.

"I am fine…"

After taking some deep breaths and as the pills took effect, Jeremy\'s mom said and Jerlina sighed in relief. Jerlina helped her up and Dr. Kruger sat on her chair rubbing her forehead.

"Doctor Amara, thank you," Dr. Kruger thanked the doctor who helped her.

The doctor smiled. "Oh, doctor, I did the least I could do. Do you need more-"

"No thanks, Amara," Dr. Kruger looked at Emma and her smile vanished.

She was thinking about the secret she is keeping. She couldn\'t rest easy keeping it in. Gordon\'s been calling her non-stop and she decided to rip the band-aid off.

She decided to reveal the secret to Jerlina and Jeremy.

But she wanted to do it in a controlled way so that the damages won\'t be very large. She thought about it and she felt that Emma\'s presence will make Jerlina\'s anger turn at the right person. She didn\'t want Jerlina to get angry at Jeremy.

She knew Jeremy is innocent in all this. He was ignorant and trusted Emma a lot but this cannot be pinned on Jeremy. She will defend Jeremy to her death with this. This would be the hill she would die on.

She was planning to do it tomorrow to gather her courage but Emma called her saying she needs some consultation. She thought it would be a ruse and Emma is lying.

Her first instinct was right and she should have refused.

But Emma raised genuine concerns about her pregnancy and said some stories on why she couldn\'t meet other doctors. And she seemed repentant and insinuated that she needs to apologize. She fell for it. Which was so stupid of her.

Snakes bite!

"Thank you, doctor," Jerlina held the doctor\'s hand and she smiled back.

Figuring out that they need privacy,? the doctor left the room nodding at Jerlina. Jerlina looked at Charlie holding Emma by her arm.

"Let me leave!" Emma tried to struggle out of Charlie\'s grip but Charlie wasn\'t letting go.

"B*tch, stop!" Charlie pushed her to the front.

"What happened here, mom?" Jerlina looked at Dr. Kruger.

She was not planning on letting Emma go if she did something to Jeremy\'s mom. And she had a selfish desire here too. It would definitely make Jeremy sever all ties even emotional ties with Emma. That is if Emma did something, which is the case, much likely.

"Uh, I didn\'t want to reveal it like this but…" Dr. Kruger let out a sigh. She bowed and opened a drawer and pulled out an envelope.

As Jerlina was about to get the envelope, Emma started to scream holding her stomach.

"It hurts…it hurts…" she cried.

Even Charlie was startled and he let go of her arms. But he stood by the door. Emma can never be trusted. She could very well be faking it.

Jerlina\'s heart skipped a beat seeing Emma\'s face distorted in pain and she couldn\'t stand straight as she cried clutching her stomach. It made her remember the day she lost her baby.

Is she having the same pain?

"Mom..?" Jerlina looked at Dr. Kruger to see if she is going to help. But seeing the indifference in her face, Jerlina was stunned.

"Never mind her. She is pretending. You read the report," Dr. Kruger interlocked her fingers. Jerlina noticed her fingers trembling. She didn\'t know if it is the result of the scare she faced or if the news in the report made her act this way.

What is in this report?

Jerlina opened the envelope and it contained two separate reports pinned together. She looked through the first report and it seemed like a blood test report. She looked for the name but it was not mentioned. She didn\'t know what kind of report would it be if the name is not recorded.

It is odd!

She looked through as there were measurements of certain hormones and stuff she doesn\'t have much knowledge of. She skipped to the last page of? that report.

It was said that there were some abnormalities that cannot be plainly attributed to a natural? miscarriage.

Her eyes widened and her heart quickened.

Miscarriage… A missing name…

Could this be my report..?

"Mom…" she looked at Dr. Kruger and she pointed at the other report.

Jerlina read it and it was a tissue report of a foetus. Her hands started to shake and she started to perspire.

Her eyes clouded as she read the final line.

Can be concluded that the miscarriage was induced.

Reading that, Jerlina felt her entire world spinning.

Miscarraige was induced…

Not natural…

"Mom…What does this mean?" she asked and tears started to fall from her eyes.

"It means someone gave you abortion pills, Jerlina. That was the reason for your miscarriage."

Dr. Kruger stood up and walked towards Jerlina.

"What?" Even Charlie couldn\'t control his surprise.His eyes intuitively ended up at Emma.

It is pretty obvious who that person is!

Jerlina took a step back not willing to get touched by anyone.

"I had doubts from that day. You bled a lot and the timing you said everything happened and the other incidents that happened that day..."

Jerlina stood frozen.
