I smiled faintly and replied without much emotion, "How can I? Mr. Roberts is so strong. It only took you a few hours to nearly kill me. I only fear I couldn't avoid you faster."

Hendrix was rendered speechless.

Perhaps the atmosphere was getting too dreadful, Hendrix didn't want to talk to me anymore, and he left with Andrea soon after that.

I laid on the hospital bed, feeling a little depressed and frustrated. When people went through a certain extent of events in life, they would lose hope for life.

A lot of things happened in the following few days. Sawyer's announcement on the headlines, Andrea reunited with her family, and Aaron returned to Ucrebury for the foreseeable future. But I didn't pay attention to any one of that news.

I laid quietly in the hospital for a week. I had already been pregnant for three months, and my baby bump was getting more noticeable as the day passed.

My lower abdomen bulged out slightly like a small hill. Sometimes, I would put my hands on it and fall into a daze. Sometimes I would stare at the ceiling blankly.
