The day we needed to go back to Flousia was getting nearer. And as the days go by, I'm becoming more and more anxious. I couldn't tell anyone about it, thinking that I would be just a burden.
I should be feeling well by now, it has been five days since I started staying in our bedroom to rest. But the more I thought of going back to Flousia, I felt that my condition didn't get better.
I was sitting by the window when I heard a few knocks. Father ca inside then rushed towards with a worried face.
"Why are you sitting there by yourself? You should be in bed."
I giggled. He was really like a father now. I've never been scolded or cared for by a parent so this was all new to , but I really liked it. I felt like I was a very special girl.
"I'm okay, Dad. Venice and one of the maids helped . My back's getting sore from laying down and I wanted to have so fresh air."
I heard him sigh while giving a pinch on the cheek.
"I talked to your husband about your plan. I must admit, it was a good plan. I don't really like the idea that you'll get involved with this but your husband said that this is what you wanted. Is that true?" He asked.
I looked at him with a pleading eye.
"Yes. Dad, we both know that everything you have done so far, you will eventually need to pay for all of it. I am trying to accept that one day, you will not be with us. But I wanted to cherish the days that you are here with and Caden. So please, stay here. Once we go to Flousia, stay in the palace. There were secret passages there that you can use so no one would suspect that you are with us. I believed in Jayden and my friends so I am asking you to trust and believe in us."
He suddenly kneeled down in front of which surprised . He took my hands and smiled at .
"I'll do it for you but promise that you and Caden will be safe. If anything happens, I want you to run or hide. Don't ever try to save soone else other than yourself and your kid. Promise , Margaret." He said in a gentle but firm voice.
I couldn't say a word and wouldn't dare to defy him. I know he's worried, he's a father after all. Like Jayden, he would risk his life for and Caden, I could see that now.
"I promise, father." I whispered.
He patted on the head then stared at with a frown face.
"Is there sothing wrong? You're pale."
I took my eyes away from him so he won't find out. I tried to turn my head away but he stopped , looking at with a dark expression.
"Jayden! Jayden!" He called, shouting loudly.
"D-Dad, it's not his fault." I stamred.
Jayden ca rushing inside the bedroom. I could see he was panting, a sign that he ran. As soon as he entered the room, father grabbed his collar.
"What the hell are you doing? Are you blind? Look at her!" He yelled.
Jayden looked at and was shocked. He forcefully removed my father's hands to rush beside .
"Love!" He called while putting his hand on my forehead.
He didn't say a word and just picked his phone from his pocket.
"Please co. It's an ergency." He murmured.
After ending the call, I could see Jayden's face was so restless. He bent down to carry on the bed.
"I-I'm okay, love." I said , but I honestly felt so weak.
I don't really know what happened. I was feeling fine earlier when I sat by the window. When father ca, I felt a sudden pain from my stomach but it disappeared for a while. Then the pain suddenly ca back.
I was sweating all over but I couldn't tell father. I was enjoying our chat, not wanting to ruin our father and daughter mont. I didn't realize that I was so pale and weak when dad noticed it.
"You are not okay. Peggy, please." Jayden begged.
I couldn't understand a word he was saying, my visions suddenly went blurry. Then I felt sothing pinch my belly.
"Ahh!" I shouted.
Jayden was startled. He gently put down on the bed and held my hands. It was blurry but I know Jayden was on the right side while father was on my left.
"Love, what is it? Please tell !"
One of my hands was on my belly, the pain was getting intense and more frequent. I held Jayden's hands tighter and harder when I felt like soone punched my stomach. As I scread in pain, I cried.
I cried because I was thinking about the baby. I know sothing bad was happening to the child in my womb.
Sweat was all over . An extre pain suddenly hit and I felt a warm liquid suddenly flowed between my thighs.
I scread and cried so loud from the pain. I couldn't even hear what Jayden was telling . A blurred vision was surrounding and I couldn't tell who were the people that went inside the bedroom. All I could see were the silhouettes of the people around .
"Love. Love. Love." I called Jayden while I was crying from pain.
Then another painful attack hit and that warm liquid flowed again. I put my hand between my thighs to feel and see what was flowing from inside.
I trembled when I saw what it was. Looking at my shaking hands, I wailed. My vision was blurry but I could see the color and I could sll the scent of the liquid which was now in my hand.
"No! No! No! Nooooo!" I scread so loud then I felt Jayden pull closer to hug tight before I lose consciousness.
