Chapter 67 - A Mother's Loss and Descend to Despair

“Two pregnant women came into the hospital after falling off the stairs. One is bleeding, the other is not. What does that tell you?” Drayce said as he crosses his arms.

“Babe, I swear I wasn’t lying!” Valerie said as she tries to hug Drayce.

“Were you even pregnant at all?”

“Of course, I am!”

“Then why is your OBGYN telling me you never had a record of you being pregnant?”

Valerie cries as soon as it dawn on her. Drayce left and she hurriedly went after him.

I lay silently on the bed as Jeremy’s head hangs low while holding my hands.

The two may have been loud before but now that it’s just the two of us in the room, it’s been a deafening silence.

I feel sluggish and weak but I try to hold Jeremy’s hands back, making him look up at me.

“You’re finally awake. How are you feeling?”

Jeremy’s smile felt fake. I would have bought it nonetheless if I didn’t see his bloodshot eyes.

He brushes my hair and kisses me on the forehead.
