After Megan told Zain about the pregnancy, Zain’s frown remained furrowed, all night long, just like his lips. It gave off an emotion of being unapproachable.
The nurses who came to check on Alice were frightened by Zain’s temperament. They had to fulfill their duties and left in a hurry.
Megan was Zain’s secretary of years, so she knew a little of his character.
At this time, Kennedy disappeared, the wedding did not go well, while Miss Alice was pregnant.
Yes… assuming that something had indeed happened to Kennedy and he could not be found, Alice and the baby would have the worst fate. Although Megan maintained the attitude that Kennedy would be fine and would be found.
However, things don’t always go as planned.
There are so many things that are so helpless in the face of natural disasters.
After thinking for a while, Megan suddenly stood up, walked over to Zain and sat down next to him.
-The doctor said that Miss Alice’s body was very weak. It is fortunate that nothing happened and that the mother and baby are still alive.
Zain’s eyes moved, but his lips remained pursed and he did not comment on her words.
Megan spoke feeling him out, -Actually, Mr. Zain, I think…. The baby is coming on time, at least…. For Miss Alice, it’s a good thing.-.
At the words, Zain, who had remained impassive and silent all night, raised his head and gazed at her, parting his thin lips, “Something good?
Megan breathed a sigh of relief.
She guessed what he was thinking through Zain’s head. That made things easier.
Megan smiled slightly, her voice was soft and gentle, -Yes, Mr. Zain, to put it bluntly? Kennedy is not known in what situation and Miss Alice just wants to find him and die with him. You and I have been in that sea. Unless the place where Kennedy fell is not there at all. Otherwise, after tonight’s storm, there is very little chance of survival. Tomorrow won’t be good weather either. Mr. Zain, do you understand what I mean?
Zain pursed his thin lips and his eyes darkened.
“Yes, I do.” He agreed.
Those waters were inherently choppy. With the storm, how many people could…. Survive the stormy night?
They feared the rescue team would be out tomorrow just to pick up the bodies.
People always hope for a miracle. Then, clinging to the fantasy of the miracle they continue to hope.
But would it be a miracle if it were so easy to happen?
With a heavy heart, Zain still reminisced about the contract Kennedy had given him shortly before the wedding, with all the guarantees.
That man was going to do everything to love Alice, only now?
-Mr. Zain, I don’t want to comment on Kennedy and Alice, but I am analyzing the matter. If something happened to Kennedy, Miss Alice would surely not survive, do you think so?
Zain said, “You are right.
According to her temperament in the last two days, even if she didn’t seek death, but wasn’t what she did a kind of chronic suicide?
-But it’s different when you’re pregnant? For another life in the womb Miss Alice is the one who is going to be a mother. There is no reason for her to be capricious and let the child accompany her to death.
Zain was speechless.
-That’s why, Mr. Zain, I said that the baby arrives precisely.
Zain’s lips twitched slightly. He had neither been a mother nor a father. He had no idea what it was like to be a parent.
Megan was different, she had been a mother. He should be able to understand Alice’s feelings more deeply.
-Maybe she’s right.
Having this child was Alice’s hope for life.
-Miss Alice might, thanks to this child, be able to take care of herself.
Alice woke up to the smell of disinfectant and a confused mind about everything. She was confused for a moment before realizing she was in the hospital.
Unable to think anymore, Alice tried to get up abruptly from the bed. The reaction was so violent that her head spun. With a dizziness, she fell back onto the pillows.
Bang!
The sound was so loud that it startled Zain, who was accompanying her.
Zain had been awake for Alice for more than ten hours. When he saw that she was sleeping peacefully, he closed his eyes for a rest.
He did not expect to hear a noise after resting for a short time.
Zain woke up just in time to see Alice fall on her back. His face paled and he reached out to hold her.
-Alice, are you awake? How does it look now?
Alice lay back down on the pillow, her eyes clouded for a while before slowly regaining clarity. She gasped and said, -Zain, where’s Kennedy?
Zain was speechless.
The light in his eyes faded. He pursed his lips as he helped her to her feet.
-Sit down and talk.
He helped Alice up slowly. Zain put a pillow behind her back. He whispered, “Are you thirsty, can I get you a glass of water?
It was clearly a question, but Zain went to pour the water, not caring if she said yes or not.
When the warm water was brought to her, Alice took it and took a small sip. Soon she heard Zain ask her again, -Are you feeling sick? The doctor said to tell him when you wake up, so wait.
Then Zain left the room to ask someone to inform the doctor.
Alice was speechless.
She took another sip and sat for a while feeling less dizzy. When Zain came back, he asked, “Zain, what time is it?
He looked out the window, it was night. “Wasn’t it dawn yet?” she thought.
But she noticed as if she had been asleep for a long time. And it was quiet outside, it stopped raining.
The storm couldn’t end soon or easily.
What…
Was it the next night?
Alice turned pale immediately. She pulled back the covers to get out of bed, but Zain stopped her before her fingers touched the cold floor.
-Where are you going?
she asked reluctantly.
-Zain, has it really been a day? Where’s Kennedy? Haven’t they found him yet?
-Yes, it’s been a day. As for Kennedy, there’s still no news. ….-
-What about the rescue team? Haven’t they been out looking today? How come there’s no news?
She looked so pale, so weak she could barely sit up. However, at the mention of Kennedy, she came back to life as if she had been given a shot of encouragement.
-Do you know how weak you are, can you think for yourself?
