SEX WITH THE VIRGIN MAID by KIARI HORSFALL

The Light After Darkness

Doctors running. Nurses speedily pushing a hospital cart into Hera's room. The whole ward was in chaos yet Bryce couldn't figure out what was happening. No one would talk to him and no one would tell him what's going on.

He had tried to stop a nurse but even she couldn't give him a reasonable response. It shouldn't be what he was thinking. It should never be what he is thinking. It just can't be. The doctor rushed out of her ward and Bryce had no other choice but to corner him. "What's happening Doctor? Where is Hera? What's going on?" The words rushed out of his mouth before he could stop it. "Why is no one talking to me?"

"She's crashing sir." He breathed out. "But i can assure you that we're doing everything we can to sustain her. Hopefully, she responds to treatment because at this rate, all i can say is that you should brace yourself for the worst." The doctor stated and ran off to join the others almost immediately.

Bryce froze. His head reeling from fear and uncertainty. He has heard those words before. Those were the exact same words the doctor had said to his father back then.

"...We'll do everything we can sir..." They had told him that day but they didn't. His mother died right after. Mariam who heard the what the doctor had said had already started bawling her eyes out.

Was he really supposed to wait for the inevitable to happen?

"Sir?" Mariam has called out to him, stretching Hera's phone towards him. "It's the sisters from the convent. I told them about what happened to Hera and they want to speak with you."

Bryce stared at the device in Mariam's hands. He was hesitant to take the phone from her. What would he say to them? And if they know that Hera was pregnant, what would they say to him? How will they handle that kind of news? She was their family and he didn't feel good being the one to tell them about it but what choice does he have?

Without saying much, he took the phone from Mariam and placed it to his ears. "Sister Martha?"

He had expected her to yell and curse at him but here she was talking to him as if

I feel so ashamed that i don't even know what to say right now." His voice cracked but he was welding
