Chapter 279

((( SYA POV's )))

It'll be a secret, I agreed. But it burdened me more than anybody else in the mansion. It was my fault for taking her outside the mansion and if something bad happened to her and her baby, I'd bear the guilt for it.

Jasmin has refused to eat since. She's also been quiet and was frequently spacing out. She has become more inclined to crying and I knew it would definitely affect her baby.

I was more than tempted to tell Rhio about it. Jasmin was only able to sleep because of the tranquilizing drug. But when the midnight came, I was awakened by her weeping.

I tried to approach her but she broke into another furious episode of tantrums. The doctors went in and injected her the calming drug.

"I'm worrying for her pregnancy if she stays like this," the head doctor sighed at Dr. Niel.

"She doesn't even want to talk to anybody." I just listened at their conversation.

"What do you think," Dr. Niel suddenly turned at me, "will it help if Rhio talks to her?"

"Certainly."

"But," he contemplated a little and refused his own thought, "as long as we could still patch this up, I don't think he needs to know yet."

The room got quiet again in unuttered tension. But it woke Jasmin up. She was catching her breath. Although I wanted to help her, I feared she's burst into screams.

So despite every hesitation Dr. Niel had… I called Rhio.
