After the doctor checked up on Amelia, Lucian helped her return to her ward. When Amelia had laid down, he quietly sat at her bedside. He was currently thinking about what the doctor had told him, and was getting very worried.
Taking Amelia's hand, he put it to his lips and kissed her fingertips gently. There were a lot of different feelings surging up in his heart.
The baby wasn't getting enough oxygen because of the amount of activity Amelia was doing. Because of this, the doctor said that there was a chance that they might lose the baby. Lucian was starting to go out of his mind when he learned this.
It was a good thing that Amelia had a strong will.
As per the doctor's orders, Amelia should rest as much as she could. If there was anything she needed, she had to let someone else do it for her.Shortly after the examination, Amelia had finally woken up completely.
Glancing at the ward with white walls around, Amelia eyes fixated on Lucian. "Is the baby...Is the baby okay?" she asked weakly, putting her hand instinctively on her belly.
The last thing she remembered was the dull pain coming from her stomach, and the feeling of something slowly leaving her body. And so, her first natural reaction when she woke up was to ask about their unborn child.
Lucian pressed her hand against his cheek. "Don't worry. The baby's fine. Just get some rest," he comforted.
Seeing Amelia anxious like this made his heart ache. Guilt washed over him as he felt like it was his fault that Amelia was suffering this much.
"That's good... The baby's still here," Amelia muttered under her breath, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"You should get some sleep. I'll just be right
cian noticed the tears from the corners of Amelia's eyes and asked worriedly, "Did I hurt you?" There were bruises all over her body -- bruises which came from the kicks Shelly had given her.
Amelia shook her head and answered in low voice, "No... I... just feel so happy you're here."
After everything that had happened, being here with Lucian suddenly made things better. Because of this, she was even more reluctant to leave him.
"You little fool... Did you think I was joking around when I promised to take care of you?" Lucian quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes and kissed her softly on her lips.
"Don't cry... I might start to cry as well. Plus, it's not good for the baby," he continued. These words really hit on Amelia. With a sniff, she gave a slight nod.
"I'm sorry.... I'm really sorry. This is all my fault," Lucian apologized, his voice breaking. There was so much love and regret in his heart at the moment. For one, he was thankful that Amelia was stable for now. But he couldn't help but think that this wouldn't have happened to her in the first place if it weren't for him.
Amelia couldn't help laughing, "Are you going to let it go if you are sorry?"
She thought that Lucian would say something to contradict her, but to her surprise he just stood up and kissed her on her forehead.
This sudden action made her blush even more.
"Ahem!" A cough came from the door.
Straightening up, Lucian saw that Jonny was at the door, a wicked smile on his face. "You came at a rather inappropriate time," Lucian told him.
Jonny pretended to cover his eyes with embarrassment. "I think I might need to wash my eyes with bleach after seeing that," he exaggerated.
