Chapter 317

Chapter 317: Is Lenny dead?

Lyla

Terra stared at me for a few seconds before averting her eyes, busying herself with the cart that held several mixtures.

"I don't want to hear it, Lyla," she murmured. "Whatever your plans are, count me out of it. I don't want to be a party to it or your lies."

"It's not lies, Terra," I tried to sit up, but was hit with another wave of nausea, making me groan with pain as I flopped on the bed again.

"Can you stop moving, please?" Terra sighed. "I'm running out of patience dealing with you, Lyla. Just lie still and let the medicine work."

"I am lying still," I shot back, "I'm only asking you not to mention the baby to anyone, not even to Nanny."

"Your mother?" she scoffed, dropping the small jar she held a little too forcefully. "You don't know, Miriam, Lyla. Maybe the version of Miriam you know is the cool-headed one. Miriam will kill me if she suspects that I might have lied to her. Besides, it goes against my oath."

"I am not asking you to lie!" I was losing my calm. "I'm asking you not to mention the pregnancy. It's that simple. Don't mention that I am pregnant."

"And if they ask me?"

"How will they ask you if they don't know?" I sighed with exasperation. "They'll ask you how I'm doing and whatnot, and then you can reply with, she's fine and whatnot. No need to tell them I am pregnant."

Terra hesitated. "Miriam will have my hide. Pregnancy is not something you can hide. Sooner or later, it reveals itself. What excuse will I give then?"

"I'll be dead and long gone," I said with a soothing tone. "I'm going to die…"

"For the love of the moon, can you stop saying you will die?" Terra rolled her eyes. "You think death is something for you to throw around like it means nothing? What will happen to your mate and your mother? One chaos at a time, Lyla. I know it's impossible to believe that you're immensely loved and that your mother will do anything for you, but…"

We heard the lock of the door rattle, and immediately, Terra froze as the door opened to reveal Nanny. She was about to ask Terra what the problem was when I intervened. She hadn't noticed that I was awake.

"Mom!" I feigned weakness.

Immediately, her eyes snapped to where I was lying. She rushed to my side and held my hand.

"Oh darling, you're awake?"

I nodded, smiling at her. "I'm sorry for…"
