Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)
Chapter 6
Jewel came through safely, and the baby was saved. She returned to her hospital room looking pale and miserable, her eyes red from crying. Combined with her delicate appearance, she looked truly fragile and pitiful.
"Don't worry too much. The baby is fine." Chris reassured her.
"Chris, I'm so scared," Jewel cried.
Chris handed her a tissue, and she took it. She held onto his hand, with her tear-streaked face resting on the back of his hand.
Sure, she looked pitiful, but that didn't mean she could just treat someone else's fiancé like her husband.
I walked over to them. "Mrs. Goodwin, the doctor said that intense emotions aren't good for the baby. You've managed to save your child. It would be a problem if something were to happen because you cried." I gently pulled her away from Chris without making a fuss.
But seeing the tears on Chris' hand back, I couldn't help feeling uncomfortable as if something of mine had been dirtied by someone else.
I was a bit of a clean freak, both in daily life and in relationships.
Jewel seemed surprised when I addressed her as Mrs. Goodwin. Her face visibly stiffened, but she quickly adjusted her emotions.
"Chris, I'm sorry. What am I doing?" She reached for a tissue to wipe Chris' hand, only for me to stop her.
"Mrs. Goodwin, you shouldn't move around right now."
Jewel's face froze, her tearful eyes looked at Chris with obvious admiration.
"Does Jewel like you?" I asked Chris directly as we came out of the ward.
"No," Chris denied it.
"What about you? Do you like her?"
If I was going to ask, I wanted a clear answer. I didn't want to be strung along.
Chris' expression visibly stiffened. After a few seconds, he uttered softly, "We're just friends."
Just friends?
