Her Precious Baby

Seeing that, Angeline felt relieved. She gradually closed her eyes, and before her consciousness ebbed away, she could hear a man’s anxious voice. “Angeline!”

When Angeline came to, all she saw were white walls surrounding her. She was in a quiet space with the only noise being the sound of dripping liquid.

Angeline groaned upon feeling a sharp pain in her waist while she tried moving her body.

“Angeline, you’re awake?” Nancy, who fell asleep at her bedside, was awakened by Angeline’s groan. With a surprised look, she reached out to caress the other woman’s forehead, her voice laced with joy.

“Thank goodness the fever finally subsided.” Nancy heaved a sigh of relief.

“What’s going on? I had a fever?” Angeline muttered in confusion, her voice hoarse from the dehydration.

Nancy was taken aback when she saw the puzzled look on Angeline’s face.

She held Angeline’s shoulders and shook her, trying to help her remember. “Angeline, please don’t scare me. Did you forget that you were trapped in the fire? Can you remember being rescued by Mr. Golding?”

Growing nauseous from Nancy’s movement, Angeline pushed the other woman away and sighed.

“Calm down. I would’ve been a lot more flustered if I had lost my memory. I’m just curious about why I had a fever.”

“You scared me to death!” Nancy patted her chest and sat back down before she began peeling an apple.

“What do you think could have caused your fever? The doctor said you were traumatized after being trapped in the fire, resulting in a fever. You’ve been unconscious for the whole day.”

“What? That long?” exclaimed Angeline.
