Chapter 10

SIDONNIE’S POV

“Hey, watch your steps. The woman hurried to my side, holding me up as I nearly fell from the bed which I laid.

“Take it easy, you’re in safe hands.” She assured me, but I found it hard to let my guard loose for some reasons.

“What am I doing here? I mean, how did I get here in the first place?” I questioned aggressively.

“Take it easy, young lady. I’m so sure you don’t want to affect the baby.”

Oh! That’s true! I’m pregnant. My hand slowly reached out to my belly, cupping it delicately. How could I forget that I had another life inside of me? So far so good, I thought I have been able to come to terms with my pregnancy, but….

“That doesn’t mean you’re a bad mother to your baby. It’s normal for all first timers.” The woman who sat close to me on a nearby chair flashed an assuring smile at me.

“Okay, fine. I’m Athena.” She answered simply, not bothering to utter any more word about her identity.

“You surely know what I mean, right? Since you can read my thoughts, you should know what I want to know. You should know what I meant by ‘who are you?“. I can’t figure it out.”

“I know you can’t, which is why you’re here.”

“What do you mean?” My brows furrowed in confusion.
