In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1013

“There’s blood! She’s bleeding!” An ear-piercing scream sounded from a side while my head was pounding. My baby…

A man laughed. “How thrilling! I never thought I’ll get to toy with a pregnant woman. This is so exciting!”

The excruciating pain inflicted upon my body made me feel suffocated and I passed out, feeling weak.

Death would always come unannounced. In midst of my coma, I dreamt of a lot of things and met many people. The darkness was endless and I couldn’t find my path. All I could hear were people’s voices around me, but I couldn’t escape from the world I was trapped in.

Finally, I regained my consciousness. Opening my eyes, my vision was blurry as my surroundings were bright. I blinked my eyes and figured out I was in the hospital later on. I tried to glance around, but as soon as I moved, immense pain crept up my body and it felt like my body had fallen apart.

Hiss. I couldn’t hold back my squeals, as it was too painful.

Immediately after, I heard rushed footsteps approaching, while someone was shouting, “She’s awake! Quick! Call the doctor.” The voice was from a stranger.

After getting used to the surroundings, I snapped out of my daze and finally recognized the girl who walked into the room. She was Ann.

When the girl saw me, her eyes were red. “You’re finally awake… Finally.”

I opened my mouth to express my thoughts, but I only felt pain in my throat. Soon after, a group of people came in. They were Cameron, Zachary, and Joseph. I heaved a sigh of relief when I noticed Ashton wasn’t there. Hearing what Ann said, I initially thought I had been in a coma for long.

Cameron’s eyes were swollen from crying, and she wore a pain-etched expression looking at me. I reached out to tug on the hem of her shirt and shook my head, assuring her.

Realization dawned on me suddenly, and I thought of my baby. I touched my lower abdomen gently and felt pain spiraling from within. Unsure of what happened to my baby, I looked at the people standing beside me, and asked, “Is my baby… okay?”

Everyone had different reactions, but none of them looked at me in the eyes. Cameron started crying with muffled sobs. Zachary sighed. Ann lowered her head and stayed silent while guilt and sorry were written all over Joseph’s face. I was stunned for a moment, but I knew what they meant. My baby’s gone.

As the bitter truth sank in, pain washed over my heart like waves of a tsunami. My body started trembling as I felt suffocated. I pursed my lips and tried to hold back my screams, but it only made me look contorted.
