Chapter 179 Are You Scared

Victor’s body froze, and his eyes moved slowly to the woman in the bed. Rachel felt that she was waking up from a long dream. Right from being abandoned at the orphanage gate to going through all kinds of things in her life. Finally, it seemed to be stuck on an image of a pool of blood. A slight pain woke her up. Her hand was clenched so tightly that it hurt. Subconsciously, she looked towards it. Victor realized this and let go of her hand. “Miss Bennet, you’re finally awake.” The doctor walked to her bed. “Are you in any pain? Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?”

Rachel closed her eyes and was silent for a while. Finally, she said in a hoarse voice, “Water.” Lukas, who stood a few steps behind the doctor, immediately went to fetch her a glass of water. For the next ten minutes, the doctor asked several questions as he checked Rachel. “Miss Bennet, you need to stay in bed and rest for some days. Don’t make any sudden moves or exert yourself. Also, try not to get too emotional,” the doctor said as he took off his stethoscope.

“Doctor, my baby…” Rachel unknowingly placed a hand on her stomach. The scene from before she fainted flashed through her mind, and her heart squeezed. “Don’t worry. Your baby is doing great and is healthy.” 1 “Thank you. Thank you so much.” The doctor smiled kindly and said, “You’re welcome. You have a good rest. I’ll leave now.” Lukas accompanied the doctor out of the ward and asked him about the precautions they needed to take. The ward turned silent. “Rachel…” Victor said as the light in his eyes dimmed. Rachel interrupted him.

“Mr. Sullivan, I would like to rest now.” Victor looked at her pale face. He realized that she looked thinner and more fragile in just one night. His heart stung, and the words got stuck in his throat. Rachel didn’t look at him and simply closed her eyes. After a long time, she heard the door open and close.

Rachel slowly opened her eyes and saw that Victor had left the ward. Emotionlessly, she gently placed her hands on her abdomen, pursed her lips, and frowned slightly. ‘I’m so sorry, little one. Mommy shouldn’t have put you in danger. It’s my fault. I didn’t protect you. I almost lost you because of my foolishness.’ she couldn’t wait any longer.
