Rebirth Into My Second Chance

Chapter 185

Max told me if I died, he couldn't live without me. He followed me into this life. He thought I hadn't been reborn and still loved Claude.

"Max, give me some space to think." I ran out of the room as if fleeing for my life, torn between fearing Max's words were true and hoping they were false, unable to even admit to myself that I had been reborn. I ran for what felt like forever, my stomach twisting in agonizing pain. I called Richard, and he came to pick me up quickly. When he found me, I was in so much pain that my clothes were completely soaked. I told him. "Richard, save me and my baby."

I held on until he found me and then allowed myself to faint. In my past life, when I got kidnapped and tried to escape, I felt this same pain. The pain was all too familiar.

"Save the baby..." Even in my dreams, I was crying out to save the baby.

When I woke up, I was on an IV drip. Seeing me awake, Richard immediately took my hand. "Hey, it's okay now."

It was all just a dream. Even what Max told me must have been part of that dream.

"The baby..." I spoke softly, and Richard frowned slightly, "Claire, why are you so fixated on having a baby? You just had a case of severe cramps from running too fast after eating, not because you're pregnant."

I felt deflated. I was not pregnant after all.
