Chapter 147:
Kallie was plagued by nightmares and struggled to find rest.
Her sleeplessness was evident, prompting the doctor to suggest melatonin to ease her anxiety.
However, gripped by fear, Kallie assumed those pills were abortion drugs and adamantly refused them.
In a state of panic, Kallie forced everyone out of her hospital room.
Wary of provoking Kallie further, the medical staff withdrew in silent confusion.
Alone, Kallie retreated to a corner of her bed, seeking refuge under her blanket, where she felt a semblance of safety.
Cradling her belly, she longed to whisper kind words to her unborn child but realized she couldn’t speak.
Tears gathered in her eyes as she pondered whether her baby could understand her thoughts.
Drifting between wakefulness and sleep, she began to doze off.
At that moment, the door creaked open.
Jake walked in, the smell of alcohol clinging to him, his steps uncertain. He stopped, steadied himself with a chair, and sat a short distance from the bed.
Though the room was dark, the light from the hallway and the moon through the window allowed him to see Kallie’s face distinctly.

Kallie appeared even thinner and wearier than before. Even in her sleep, her cheeks were marked with tears.
Jake parted his lips, aching to speak, but the words eluded him.
