Chapter 114: Protected

Moana

Edrick rushed me to the doctor. I felt myself slowly returning to consciousness in the back of his car as he sped through the city streets. There was a pounding in my head, but thankfully no other pain, although I couldn’t quite explain why I had gone unconscious. I thought that it had something to do with Mina borrowing mine and the baby’s power to protect us, but I couldn’t be exactly sure, and her own energy was too low after the ordeal to be able to communicate well.

Either way, I just hoped that the baby was okay.

“Where is Ella?” I muttered once I was able to speak.

Edrick shook his head from the front seat. “She’s fine,” he said. “She’s at home.” As he spoke, I felt a wave of relief wash over me. I was glad to know that Kelly hadn’t done anything sinister to Ella, but at the same time, thinking about Kelly reminded me of the fact that I was fairly certain that this was all her plan.

“Kelly…”

“Shh,” Edrick interrupted as he pulled into the hospital parking lot. “Don’t worry about that right now.”

Edrick parked, then jumped out of the car and came around to the back. I tried to sit up and get out myself, but Edrick quickly stopped me and instead scooped me up and carried me to the doors. Being in his arms made me feel safe and protected, and the sense of love that I felt when he saved me in that dark, wet alleyway never faded.

I was still out of it as I heard nurses shouting. I felt myself being lowered into a wheelchair before being whisked away to get checked.

“Edrick,” I said, holding out my hand. “Don’t leave me.”

“I won’t.” Edrick reached out and took my hand, jogging alongside the wheelchair as the nurses pushed me through the doors to an examination room. He held my hand tightly, even when I was laid on a hospital bed and the nurses began to take my vitals and draw blood.

Finally, the doctor came in. The very first thing she did was perform an ultrasound on the baby to make sure that everything was okay.
