Oh God.
It felt like | was stabbed. And the knife was twisted in my stomach.
God, please, protect my baby. | cried. Keep him safe.
With trembling hands, | grabbed my phone and dragged it toagain. By this time, | was whimpering as |
prayed that someone would pick up their phone.
But | couldn't continue to just hope. | had to do something. The longer | remained here, the weaker | grew and |
knew | was on the verge of losing consciousness. That would be worse What should | do?
Maybe | should order a ride. Once he gets here, I'll plead with him to cup the stairs.
Right when | managed to open the app, | heard a bang downstairs.
Thank God! | breathed as | dropped my phone. | wanted to crawl to the door, to yell that | was in here but | could
not even move.
| waited but | didn't hear footsteps. Or any sign of help.
The edges of my vision began to blur and darken.
The pain had not subdued and it was getting harder to breathe.
Right when | began to give into the darkness that promised relief, | think | heard a voice... footsteps... shouts...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt| couldn't tell. | opened my eyes but it felt too heavy, too painful. | felt acutely aware of the pain of my misery
and hopelessness so | closed my eyes again.
It was better. | could still feel and hear. That was enough. Though | wish | wouldn't feel too, so | wouldn't feel this
insane pain anymore.
A door was thrown open and | heard a loud gasp, followed by hurried footsteps.
"Ana! Ana are you okay?" | felt hands on me. Then | was being pulled up. "Ana, look at me."
| wanted to look. | wanted to cry that
| needed a doctor. | wanted to tell them to save my baby but I couldn't | just laid there, wishing | could take the
pain away, wishing the darkness would overwhelmat the stime, | wished it wouldn't.

Immediately my eyes opened, they snapped back close.
It was so bright here. My room isn't this bright. Dennis doesn't even like it. We only leave the light on whenever
Amie-
Amie!
| snapped my eyes open.
The pain. The ride... the hands...
The memories rushed back. | glanced around. Of course, | was in the hospital.
Just then, the door opened and a doctor stepped in.
"You're awake," he had a bright smile on.
"Yes. Wha-" my voice cout raspy. | cleared my throat and tried again. "What happened to me?"
| could now vividly remember the pain | had felt. The way my insides had turned and twisted...
"You are in premature labor, Mrs
Dennis. We need to perform a
Cervical Cerclage surgery
immediately. A nurse will cto
prepare you for the surgery.
| briefly wondered why doctors would smile when something was wrong. Was premature labor a normal thing?
"Where's my husband?" | tried to sit up and my stomach hurt.
"Sorry. You just remain there. The consent forms will be brought here for you to sign. And your husband isn't here
yet."
My brows furrowed, "Yet? Did he leave after he dropped me?"
The doctor turned toand squeezed his forehead. "Your husband didn't bring you here."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm| blinked. Was it Aiden? | remember that someone had cinto the room. That was the only way | was able to
get here. "Who brought me?" "Your friend."
"My friend?" | muttered but I don't think he heard me.
He straightened to his full height. "She's been asking to see you. I'll let her know you're awake now."
| nodded, confused, wondering who this friend was. Is Aiden the friend?
Few minutes after the doctor left, the door slowly creaked open. My eyes were fixated on it, waiting.
Whoever it was was taking his or her tto reveal himself or herself.
| blinked when she finally stepped in.
She folded her lisp in her mouth as she tucked a strand of her behind
her ear and closed the door behind her.
She is the friend?
How can my friend be the last person | want to see?
"Hi?"
| scoffed. "Clara?" Perhaps, my vision had been affected.
She curled her lips into a smile. "How do you feel now?"
| felt my insides boil with rage. My hands clenched into fists. "Get out!" | whispered.
She nodded and quietly stepped out.
