When I awoke again, the first thing I saw was the nurse helping me with my IV drip.
Seeing me regain consciousness, she expressed concern: "You're finally awake. Your mom has been crying several times while you were unconscious. Her eyes are all swollen. She just went home to make you some food, thinking you might be hungry when you wake up."
"My mom?"
"Yes, after bringing you to the hospital, she's been trying to call your husband non-stop, but couldn't get through. She was furious."
I smiled bitterly, thinking he's probably still in Selene's warm embrace right now.
With this thought, I placed my hand on my flat abdomen, feeling the loss of the little life. Tears instantly welled up in my eyes.
