Chapter 35

I CAME out of the bathroom as if I had nothing to do with myself, nothing entered my mind now but the child I was going to get pregnant with.

I drew a deep breath, pinning my back against the hall. I closed my eyes tightly to relieve the pain in my heart, but the more I thought the wound only deepened.

"Margaux?"

I quickly turned to Cindy's voice. I immediately cleared thoughts and smiled at her.

"Is there a problem? Peter was waiting for you." She gently stroked my arm.

"Uh, no, there are quite a few people at bathroom." I trailed off.

I started to step on my feet to escape her critical eyes but she stopped my arm.

"Wait, Margaux..."

I looked up and closed my eyes tightly before facing her. "I'm fine, Cindy. You have nothing to worry about me," I said, then tried to smile.

"I know, but you're not."

Her soft hand came down to hold me tight. I bowed my head fearfully, unable to meet her stares.
