(Lily is light) Chapter 6
I got a high fever after I went back
home. Trent returned home, smelling of
wine. Seeing me unconscious in bed and my red face, he panicked and carried me to the hospital.
I woke up, slowly lifted my eyelids. Seeing me awake, the nurse
exclaimed, “Mrs. Holloway, you’re finally awake! You had a fever for a day and a night. Mr. Holloway was so worried about you that he stayed by your bed until he just got a phone call. Should I call him? He’ll be happy to know you’re awake.”

could hear Trent talking on the phone. He was always calm, and I used to be the only
one who could affect him. His voice
carried joy and excitement.
Soon, his footsteps faded. He left.
I got out of bed and followed him. A few floors down, I saw Trent supporting Vanessa, who had just come out of the obstetrics and gynecology department! They were both smiling broadly.

Vanessa touched her belly, smiling
sweetly.“I just found out about it, and it’s
been a month. The father is not here, but I
know he’s overjoyed. He bought me

fireworks all over town to celebrate my
pregnancy.”

She was beating. I stared at her for a
long time, then forced a smile. “Really?”
Vanessa smiled, even more smug. “Yes, Mrs. Holloway, are you free tonight? I’ll
invice you to have dinner with us.”
Trent’s expression changed. He
scowled a Vanessa, cutting her off. “Don’t
bother. My wife doesn’t have time.”
