Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 353

"Sie...Sieben?" Lindsey had just woken up, so her voice was still hoarse. When she saw the face that was very close to her, she recognized it at once.

Her voice was weak and she sounded surprised.

Sieben heard Lindsey call out her name and smiled with her eyes, but before she could say anything, her shoulder was suddenly yanked from behind and she stumbled several steps back from the hospital bed.

She did not get the chance to get angry before she was caught in Soren’s arms. She just said aggrievedly, "Uncle Z..."

"Mm, Uncle Z is just anxious. Let's go out first and wait for them to finish talking before we come back, okay?" Soren wrapped his hands around her shoulders and took her out of the ward.

Although Sieben was dissatisfied, she had always been obedient and did not continue to be wilful even when she was unhappy.

The door of the ward was gently closed. Lindsey opened her mouth and paused for a moment before making a sound, "Zayn?"

"Yeah, I’m here." Zayn's eyes were burning, but restrained. He looked overwhelmed as he looked into Lindsey's eyes.

"Zayn..." Lindsey called out again. She even stretched out her hand to pinch herself on her cheek before Zayn responded.

After the pinch, Lindsey laughed first. "It hurts a little, so I guess it’s not a dream."

The smile on her face was warm and bright. Zayn saw her smile and curled up his lips, but his eyes had an unconcealed sorrow.

Before Lindsey put her hand down, her hand was held tightly in Zayn’s palm.

"It's me. You’re not dreaming or hallucinating. This is real. Do you feel any discomfort? Do you want some water?" Zayn asked Lindsey in a warm voice. His lips were gently pressed against the back of her hand, but he quietly dropped his eyes and could not bear to look at her.

Lindsey did not notice anything wrong because she was so immersed in the joy of seeing Zayn again. She reached out to wrap her arms around Zayn's neck.

She smiled and laughed, but her tears fell uncontrollably. "It's really you! I finally waited for you. Zayn, I missed you so much!"

"Me too. I miss you too." Zayn held her tightly. "It's all my fault. I didn't protect you and I was late to rescue you. It's all my fault."

Zayn was pressed against Lindsey's ear. His eyes were tightly closed and the pain coming from the left side of his chest almost made him faint.

Lindsey shook her head. She was too happy. She was so close to losing Zayn earlier, so seeing him again felt like a new life for them.

She sniffled and curled up her lips. She put her nose against Zayn's and intimately reached out to take Zayn's hand. "You should say hello to him."

As soon as she said that, Zayn’s face instantly became miserably pale.

Lindsey clearly felt his fingers trembling, which made the smile on Lindsey's face somewhat forced, but she still managed to maintain it. "Zayn, what's wrong?"

After she said that, she slowly lowered her head and dropped her gaze to her belly, which was covered by the blanket.

"Why does it feel like he's gotten smaller? Is it because he's hungry after I slept for so long?" Lindsey said to herself and was about to lift the blanket.

However, Zayn stopped her. "Don't look..."

Lindsey's smile finally disappeared completely.

He kept trying to hold Lindsey, but he was pushed away repeatedly.

Finally, Lindsey stopped struggling and she was pulled into Zayn's embrace. Her cheek was pressed against Zayn's chest. She listened to the sound of Zayn's heartbeat and choked as she said, "Zayn...please...tell me that you're joking. Right?"

"The baby’s gone, Lindsey. We’ll have another one." Zayn slowly said this in a gentle yet firm voice. Each word hammered into Lindsey’s ear.

Lindsey suddenly bawled in despair.

This was like some kind of signal. Her sobs in the beginning finally turned into desperate wailing.

Lindsey finally stopped asking questions.

Her chest and belly hurt so much that she had no strength left and almost fainted from crying.

"We’ll have another one." Zayn hugged her tightly as he repeated these words over and over again.

Lindsey did not respond to what he said this time as her tears flowed into her ears. All she felt was a heart-wrenching pain and grief.

That day, the doctors and patients on this floor of the hospital heard the cries coming from that ward. It sounded extremely sorrowful.

The raindrops outside the window occasionally hit the windowsill, echoing her cries.

In the end, Lindsey cried until her breathing became labored and her eyes were swollen. Zayn just hugged her tightly and closed his watery eyes.
