Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 356

"Why didn't you call me when you woke up?" Zayn's voice was gentle as he reached out to prop Lindsey up in his arms. "Do you feel any discomfort?"

Lindsey seemed to be in a daze. When she heard his voice, her eyes focused little by little and finally landed on Zayn's face.

Zayn thought that Lindsey would not speak and reached out for the glass of warm water on the bedside table, wanting to feed Lindsey.

"Zayn." Lindsey looked at Zayn unblinkingly and suddenly spoke, "I keep thinking that I was dreaming, but I keep opening and closing my eyes to find that it’s empty."

As she said that, she put her hand on her belly and gently touched it.

She was obviously not crying and her tone was calm, but it still hurt Zayn to see her like this.

"Where is he? I want to see him." Lindsey struggled to sit up and looked at Zayn with pleading eyes.

Zayn reached out to cover her eyes. "Don't look at me like that."

Lindsey just let him cover her eyes like that. Only after a few minutes did Zayn let go of his hand and reached out to take a delicate little box out of his pocket.

"He's here," Zayn said softly as he handed the tiny box to Lindsey.

Lindsey gently took it. She knew what was inside. Zayn had actually been carrying it with him all this while, so how could she not feel touched?

Her fingers were trembling so much that she could barely open the lid. Lindsey tried many times before she finally opened it.

The fetus was still very small. It was just a lump that had taken on a human form not long ago. Thus, after the cremation, there was not much left. There was only a bit of fine powder and not even bone fragments. This little bit of white powder was the only proof that he had been here.

Lindsey's eyes blurred and she raised her hand to wipe away her tears. She then tightened the lid of the tiny urn.

"Let's send him away properly, Zayn." Lindsey sniffled and reached out to hold Zayn's hands. "I wanna go home."

When she first found out about the child’s existence, she did not greet him properly, so when he left, she wanted to send him off nicely. She wanted to thank him for the joy he brought them before he was even born.

"Okay." Zayn held Lindsey's hand. His eyes also turned red.

However, with Lindsey's health condition, they still could not leave the hospital for the time being and needed to stay for a few more days of observation.

Even so, things seemed to be going in a good direction. Zayn had moved his office to the hospital and every day, they just got along peacefully and quietly with Lindsey not talking.

"Lindsey!" Sieben's cheerful voice could be heard through the door of the ward.

Lindsey was eating under Zayn’s watchful eyes. She did not have an appetite, but she still forced herself to eat a little. When she heard the voice from outside, she waved her hand to indicate that she was done eating.

Sieben pushed open the door and walked in with a big smile on her face. "Hi Uncle Z! Lindsey, Sorie said you’re awake. Can I play with you?"

Zayn swept a glance at Sieben, who then spoke in an increasingly soft voice that finally became almost mute. It was like she also realized that her request was unreasonable.

Soren came in a little later than Sieben and nodded at Lindsey first. "Madam."

Lindsey forced a smile. "Soren, what's going on with Sieben?"

The first time she woke up, her whole brain was in chaos, so she had no time to care about what was wrong with Sieben and only felt it now.

When Sieben left, Lindsey looked at Zayn and asked, "Then where’s my big brother?"

That memory was too horrifying. These people were dragged down because of her, so she could never forget.

Before Zayn could speak, Shaun's voice suddenly came from the doorway, "I'm right here."

He had his usual warm smile on his face. Lindsey just felt that she had an endless stream of tears today. Just seeing these faces made her tear up.

Shaun took a few steps forward and said comfortingly, "Don’t cry. You just woke up, so you can’t cry. Otherwise, Zayn will kill me later!"

He never mentioned how badly his arm was hurt nor Lindsey’s dead baby.

Zayn let go of Lindsey's hand and Shaun went up to hug Lindsey gently.

Shaun stood in front of Lindsey's bed and said with a smile, "Look, we're all fine! It’ll only get better in the future."

Lindsey pinched her eyebrows and revealed a teary smile. "Yes, it’ll get better."

......

Time went by quickly and soon it was the day Lindsey was discharged from the hospital. However, the night before she was discharged, an accident happened.

During the day, Sieben was excited and went to the small garden behind the hospital with Lindsey. She was very childish, so when she was with Lindsey, Lindsey would always smile more than usual.
