Chapter 5
I touched my flat stomach to make sure my baby hadn’t become a ghost like me, then sighed||
This would’ve been my second pregnancy.]]
The first time was right after Elias and I graduated, when we were both job hunting
has had been over the moon.
He proposed on the spot promising he’d take care of me, but I was young and focused on my career. Despite his pleading. I terminated the pregnancy
engagement got put on hold indefinitely after that,
I knew it had always been a sore spot for him
I didn’t regret it. Thas couldn’t understand my choice, that was his problem.]
As for this second baby
I never even felt il existed.
Maybe i was better
was better off this way.
Green how rocky things had been between me and Ellas lately, even if I were still alive, our relationship probably wouldn’t have had a happy ending anyway.
Ellas tried calling me again. Obviously, no one picked up.
So he opened Message and sent a long voice message: “Elara, whatever game you’re playing, you had no right to kill our baby again without even telling me. Be home by night tonight. I’m going you one last chance to explain yourself.”
This guy could be so ridiculous sometimes
Giving me à chance to explain?
Hadn’t Zore already made up his mind for him? Like he’d actually listen to anything 1 had to say
Bendes, Ilon’t exactly talk anymore.
I felt a wave of sadness wash over me.
After work, Elias stopped by the bakery and bought a strawberry cake.
From my favorite place!
Too bad I preferred their butted edition mango flavor.
HE
He could never get there in time and I always had to side for whatever was left ||
He came home with the cake, made chicken soup and cooked some salmon |
Then sat at the dining table from afternoon until evening []
was waiting for me |
In the three years since Zurs had reappeared. It wided countless times that we could just sit down and talk things through calmly like this
Never dought i would feally happen when we were separated by life and death ||
But he was
someone I’d truly loved so my heart ached a line.)
Test du dess from hum
I give up, I can never come home a
Of course Elias couldn’t hear me. He picked up his phone again, compilvely checking it over and over like some kind of nervous habit.[]
At seven thirty, his phone rang. Eltar’s face is up until he saw it was the hospital calling, then disappointment crashed over him, but he still answered.]
“Dr. Shaw, patient in rom 27 has a high fever and is having convulsions. Would you be able to come in?“]]
Room 27 was Zora’s room
Of course he il po
Without hesitation, he grabbed his jacket and rushed back to the hospital
Zora did look pretty pitiful, her cheeks shed bright red with fever.]]
Els reviewed her medications with pursed lips, adjusted her treatment plan, and personally handled everything from getting her water to monitoring her IV.]
It reminded me of last year when I had appendix surgery and wanted Elias to stay with me. He told me the hospital had mursing staff and not to be so clingy.
What, so Zara not clingy, but his precious little princess
When Zora woke up, she started crying again. “Tas, I’m so sorry. I know you wanted to talk to her tonight. My body is just so useless.”
Elas’s fingers hitched, as if he’d just remembered the time. He quickly checked his phone–way past the deadline he’d set
He handy opened my
y chat
and frowned when he saw there were still no messages
“There’s chicken soup on the stove, salmon in the fridge, and cake too. Don’t eat too much, get some rest. I’ll be home in the morning “[]
Then he seemed to think better of it and added another message.
“I can’t leave for alone right now. Please, lars, I’m begging you–please stop with the tantrums, alright“||
I rolled my eyes!]
Therer theme tantrums. If he wanted to know who the real drama queen was, he should ask the nurses
The nurses at the station were already huddled together gossiping ||
“Room 27 finally quieted down Before Dr. Shaw got here, she was acting like she was dying. Now she’s playing the victim again.”
See? Even the stall could see right through Zora’s performance, but Eliss was completely blind to it
