Self-Drained

Alex came and sat beside me. I interlocked my fingers with his and rested my head on his shoulder.

" You know, when that woman hit me, I could only think about you. I wanted to apologize for not taking care of myself enough. I feel awful when I see you getting worried because of me." I said in a low voice. Alex stayed beside me the whole time when I was unconscious without any rest. His eyes were looking tired and worried when I first saw him after waking up. I know how worried he was when he heard that I got hit on my head and is hospitalized.

" Hm. I was really worried and felt miserable when you didn't wake up for several hours. The doctor also said that if you wouldn't wake up, I'll have to lose either you or the child or both." Alex said, his hands turning cold while saying it. I gripped his hands tightly.

" I'm sorry for what happened. I promise that I will take care of the child and myself. I'll protect us no matter what." I said, assuring him.
