Chapter 243 - Stress
Pia was admitted to the hospital on an ergency basis for two days. During that ti she received nurous ssages to stay strong and to forget what others did to her. All her friends said that she should stay away from those who have given stress. On the inside once again there were murmurs and gossips that a woman like Dawn, who had tortured Pia to the extent that she so stressed that she had an abortion, doesn't deserve to be their Luna.
Although none of them put this thing on social dia, the inside circle was buzzing with this scandal. Dawn was the target of their 'witch hunt'. Everybody gasped at the situation.
Dawn beca a foul woman, a vile, an evil and a vamp overnight for sothing she was completely unaware of. The worst part—she didn't know what others were talking about her on the inside. All she knew was that Pia directly accused her for giving stress to her. She spent her day crying and on being on the brink of a breakdown. If it hadn't been for Daryn, perhaps she would have gone insane. How could soone bla her for sothing as grotesque as abortion, and that too when she hadn't even interacted with Pia? Nothing fitted. Nothing made sense. She was at a loss of any coherent thoughts. Her logical mind couldn't comprehend as to what could Pia possibly gain from such a deadly ga? In a few days she had to go for her ultrasound.
Her health had taken a toll. She couldn't sleep, couldn't eat well and had passed out from overthinking. Was it a way to give her stress? But for what purpose? It was already established that Dawn and Daryn were the heirs of the kingdom, then what was it that Pia was playing at this ti? Daryn had to take her to the hospital for a day, secretly, so that she could be given proper care. He had beco too nervous for his wife.
Dawn wanted to talk to Dr. Brenda that day but she was on ergency duties and so she couldn't et her. However, Brenda ca to et Dawn when she was hospitalized. And then Dawn asked all her questions.
"Dawn, in my opinion, you should simply move on. It is not worth it." She had looked at Daryn and then said with a pained expression, "I don't want to say it but everyone inside our clan is talking about you. They think you are a witch who robbed Pia of her baby by fighting with her and by putting her under so kind of duress."
"But I haven't talked to her at all. We don't talk. How do I tell this to others? There is absolutely no communication between us. Then how can I put her under any duress? I an if I have to give you emotional pain, I have to be on talking terms with you, right?" Dawn countered.
"Yes," Brenda nodded. "So you an that when this accident occurred you weren't talking to Pia?"
"Yes. I haven't been talking to her ever since I have entered the Silver Mansion. She avoids and had even played against when she brought the Head Council to get my child aborted. So if at all, it is who should be under stress, and not her!"
Brenda stroked her hand softly. "I can't believe it Dawn, because on the outside everyone thinks that she was extrely sweet to you and you caused her a lot of emotional pain."
Dawn fought back a tinge of tears. She wondered that if Pia wanted to hurt her, then she had succeeded. Dawn was pregnant, how could she even think of giving tensions and worries to others. Was it so easy to fabricate things? And people did believe it? The tears flowed down. Her lips quivered and once again misery clouded her. Only people who haven't experienced what it was to be a mother could say that or maybe those who truly had sothing to gain from the situation.
Daryn sat beside her and wrapped her in his arms. "I am so sorry baby. All this is happening because of ." He blad himself for bringing her into his family. Perhaps they should have continued to stay in the mountains or maybe even in the Ensmoire.
Dr. Brenda stayed with Dawn for so more ti. She continued to talk to her to ease her out of her misery.
Next day when Dawn was discharged from the hospital, Daryn asked her, "Do you want to go back to the Silver Mansion? I want to go to Silver Arcade. My house is full of politics and filth and toxic energy. I want my wife to be happy. So I'd rather you leave that place. It's not like we need to stay there. It's not worth it."
Dawn bit her lip. The offer was very tempting. "Let us go back to the Silver Mansion Daryn. I have scores to settle."
"Leave it baby," he urged.
"If I leave it now, I will forever be branded as the witch who took the baby away. I want to face Pia. What she did was absolutely worse. I have no idea why she did that, but I want to know the truth. What was it that she gained with this? I don't talk to her, yet she blad ? We are like strangers under the sa roof and we have absolutely no connection and she blad ?" She shook her head. "If I have to be your Luna, then trust I am going to solve this matter. If Pia had taken the family matter out in the open, you can't expect to sit back quietly and endure it."
Daryn stroked her hair. She was looking so pale, so fragile, yet her determination was like that of steel. She had been wronged and she wanted to fight it out. And by Skadi! He was with her. "Let us go there then."
When Dawn reached ho, she found it to be absolutely quiet. She had heard that Pia ca back from the hospital an hour back and that there was a battalion of servants waiting for her. And when she ca, there was no one to wait upon her. It didn't matter to her. She went to her room and soaked herself in a steaming hot bath. When she ca out, she found hot porridge for her on the bedside table. Daryn was sitting there, waiting for her. She wore a light shirt and pants, and went to sit with him. He fed her porridge quietly and she enjoyed the flavor of it. He would wipe the sides of her lips with his thumb and lick them.
The entire day she kept quiet and in her room. Gayle had co to ask about her health and she was grateful to him. "I am doing fine father. Thanks for asking."
He smiled. "I am so sorry that you are in this ss but I am sure that within a few days it will all die down."
So even he knew that Pia had created a web of lies around her. Only she didn't know. She gave a weak smile.
It was in the evening that she ca out for dinner. On the dining table Sedora, Caleb and Pia were giving her murderous glances. Even the servants didn't behave nicely with her.
Knowing fully well of the consequences, she went ahead and asked Pia, "How are you feeling now?"
