Chapter 65 Kate was Pregnan

"Make sure you watch yourself!" Anna yelled and pointed her finger in Ricky's face then she turned back to look at Kate, "You will lose your baby by the time the ambulance arrives. Don't count on keeping Joseph because you are pregnant! Stop dreaming!"

Anna was both happy but fearful; she didn't know how to tell Joseph or how he would punish her if he found out the truth.

After Kate was taken away in the ambulance, Anna called Samuel to see her at the hospital. Anna reminded him, "If you act properly, you will win her heart, and finally, she will be yours."

Though Anna seemed calm about the situation, Amy was still terrified, "Lady Anna, if Lady… if Kate tells Lord Joseph what happened, we are destined to die!"

"Don't worry. I have a way to take care of it," Anna chuckled.

Amy felt uneasy; she thought Anna might use her as a scapegoat. She vowed to find a way to protect herself.

Outside the door of the emergency room, Samuel paced back and forth as he prayed for Kate. Each time the door swung open, he looked to see if he could catch a glimpse of her.

"Samuel!" Joseph hurried down the hall toward the emergency room. He was angry to see that Samuel was there; he punched him in the face.

"Joseph!" Anna hugged Joseph from behind and cried, "Kate is still in surgery. Calm down and wait for her to wake up."

When Joseph didn't immediately push her away, Anna tightened her arms around him. She was enjoying the warmth of his body when she heard, "You tramp! How dare you hug a married man, especially when his wife is hurt?"

Cassie was infuriated when she saw Anna hanging onto Joseph.

Anna was frightened of Cassie, but she didn't want to let Joseph go, "Don't misunderstand my actions. Joseph was upset; I was just…"

"Shut up!" Cassie glared at her, "I feel sick at the very sound of your voice."

Standing silently, Anna lowered her head. In the past, when Cassie scolded her, Joseph defended her, but he did not say anything either.

"Joseph, what happened? How did Kate fall?" Cassie was trying to reach Kate, but when she didn't answer her phone, she called the mansion, and Ricky said she was on her way to the hospital. Cassie immediately had her driver take her to be with Kate.

Joseph didn't know anything more than that she fell down the stairs and was bleeding. When he asked Amy, she sobbed and stammered incoherently. He didn't have the patience to deal with her, so he rushed to the hospital from Triton, worried about Kate the entire way.

Three hours had passed, but the door to the emergency room did not open. Everyone waiting was anxious; except Anna, she still hoped that Kate would die.

When the door finally opened, both Joseph and Samuel ran to the doctor.

"The mother is out of danger now, but…"

"But what?" Joseph demanded, until that moment, he didn't realize how much he cared about Kate.

"The mother was weak and coupled with the external impact; she lost a lot of blood. I am sorry, but the baby didn't make it."

"What?" Cassie almost fainted, "Kate was pregnant? Why didn't she tell me?"

Joseph turned pale; he didn't know what to say. He lowered his head and clenched his fists tight. He was distraught before, but now he felt unbelievably guilty.

Anna was leaning against the wall, she was acting upset, but she was relieved. She only planned to injure Kate; she did not expect it to have such a huge impact. She never thought that Kate might be pregnant and that she would cause her to have a miscarriage. Anna was elated.

Samuel glimpsed at Anna. Seeing her relatively composed, he said, "Kate is very weak now. We need to take good care of her."

"Get out!" Cassie shouted at him. She was upset at the thought of Kate losing her baby, and that her grandchild didn't make it, "This is none of your business!"

"Aunt, you…"

"Get out!" Cassie cried as tears streamed down her face.

Samuel had no choice but to leave, but before he did, he warned Joseph, "If you hurt Kate ever again, I will punish you!"

Joseph was now thinking about what he said to Kate on the phone. He felt it had to be his fault; he must have upset her so badly that she fell down the stairs.

When the waiting room quieted down, the doctor told Joseph and Cassie that Kate was in her own room. However, she was still weak and pale.

"Oh, Joseph! Why didn't she tell me?" Cassie sobbed, "It was because of you. You love Anna and Kate was sad about that. She didn't dare tell you about the pregnancy because she was afraid you would force her to have an abortion. Kate is a good girl, but refuse to see it and still insist on divorcing her…"

Cassie was so overwhelmed that she passed out. Joseph quickly called a nurse to help, and when she was stable, he went to visit Kate.

Seeing her lying on the bed, Joseph felt as if a knife were piercing his heart.  He was filled with guilt and wondered if his mother was right.

Was Kate afraid that I was going to be upset about the pregnancy? Is that why she didn't tell me? Did she think I would make her have an abortion? No wonder her appetite increased, and she was sick that night. Plus, she was always tired… There were so many signs, but I just didn't see them.

Joseph was regretting losing his temper on the phone with her.
