Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 115

Just as I was barfing my guts out, feeling my stomach cramp up. I felt a soft pat on my back.

Trying to fight off the discomfort, I turned around. Neil’s face was serious, his eyes filled with worry. “Feeling better? Let me take you to the hospital”

“No need. Just a bit of a stomach bug. I’ll get some meds later” I waved him off.

If I went to the hospital, they’d definitely find out about my pregnancy And if Neil found out, that would be a problem.

Back in Caladonia, I had snuck off to the hospital for a check–up. I was indeed two months pregnant. The doctor said there was no way to tell if the drugs I’d been taking these past two months had affected the baby.

I was hesitating I hadn’t decided what to do with the baby.

“If you have stomach issues, you should get a thorough check–up and then take medication seriously” Neil, seeing me getting up, grabbed my hand, trying to lead me away.

I’ve already seen a doctor!” I pulled my hand away, saying tiredly, “I just came to this room to get some rest. I want to take a nap.”

The room seemed to be a rest area. There was a small sofa bed in the middle. I went over, laid down, and closed my eyes.

Maybe it was the pregnancy, but I’d been sleeping a lot lately. Even though I knew Neil was right there, I was too exhausted to care. I soon drifted off.

I had no idea how long I slept. When I woke up, it was already dark outside. There was just a dim light on in the room.

“You awake?” Neil was still there. He was sitting on a chair, watching me.

“What time is it? The wedding’s over, right?” I jumped. Didn’t Stella and her crew come looking for me?

Neil glanced at his watch, “It’s half past nine.”
