Sylvia's POV:

I sprang from the chair and closed the distance towards Rufus' bedside. I gently held his hand and whispered, "It's rueful to think that the only thing I can do for him is to hold his hand. The truth is, it is indeed all my fault! I made him suffer. If doing this would at least ease away his pain, then I have no regret."

"It's not your fault; you didn't wish for any of these to happen. You're also the victim. If any, you've been through a lot of pain more than anyone else in this matter," Laura consoled.

I subtly brushed off the tears that stained my cheeks before turning to Laura and apologized, "There's another thing I must do that I hope you can understand. I'll take the baby with me. I believe keeping the child by Rufus' side will only increase the risk of him remembering anything about me."

Laura swept her eyes at my bump with reluctance, worry was also evident. "Your child will be leaving his or her father even before it's born."

I couldn't help but graze my hands along my belly. I felt a light kick on my belly, as if the baby was responding to my touch. I needed to do this, but would it be the right thing to do for our child?

My heart ached even more and it was apparent on the smile that I managed to crack. "I'll shower the baby with more love and care to make up for the absence of his or her father."
