Chapter 468: Stress-Free Zone, Part 2

Two days later, I was finally released from the hospital with three very strict instructions - bed rest, no sex, and avoid stress at all costs. I now had to have weekly check-ins with Doctor Mattias so she could monitor the babies' heartbeats and growth rate.

While I'd been in the hospital, everyone had taken turns coming to see me. I felt like an animal on display at the zoo, but what was worse were the sad looks I kept getting. It was almost as if they were afraid to say something that would make my condition worse, and I hated how they were tiptoeing around me like that.

Trent carried me inside, refusing to let me walk on my own, and gently placed me on the couch. I wanted nothing more than to get up and walk around, just for a few minutes, but I didn't want to upset Trent. I could see the stress in his features, and I didn't want to add to it.
