After Rachel finished those words, Alice felt her heartbeat become much faster.
Plof!
She almost jumped out of her chest.
She opened her lips and wanted to say something, but Rachel laughed at her, -Don’t get excited. Keep your mind at ease. You’re a pregnant woman. Don’t have so many emotional ups and downs. Learn to control yourself, okay?
-Sorry,” Alice smiled apologetically. She reached out to cover her lips. She resolved her emotions before speaking again. I’ll control myself, Rachel. When the snow stops, I’ll be right back.
-Don’t worry. Safety comes first.
The snow didn’t stop for two full days. The road was blocked, and it would be slower to return. Alice was too embarrassed to urge them to return. She stayed in the neighboring town for four days before returning.
The first thing she did upon returning to the North City was to go to the hospital.
-You’re too anxious,” Raquel frowned.
-Rachel, I’m back safe and sound, aren’t I? And we’ve stayed a long time. You’ve been worrying about everything these days. Let me take care of him here. Come back for a rest.
Rachel thought for a moment, nodded and took the old man back.
After the people left, Alice accompanied Kennedy alone, holding his hand.
-I prayed for you going far away. If you can hear what I say, you must wake up as soon as possible. I don’t allow you to sleep all the time.
She murmured softly to him, and she did not know whether he could hear it or not, but there was no one around. She just wanted to say those words to him.
-My baby and I need you, so you need to wake up quickly. It doesn’t matter if you can’t remember the old things again.
Then Alice talked a lot with Kennedy intermittently, and finally fell asleep on his arm. When Yanis came in at night, he saw that scene and was suddenly angry and distressed.
Obviously, she was pregnant. It turned out that she would stay asleep on her stomach without being afraid of catching a cold.
Nathan pursed his lips when he saw this and then said, “You’d better wake up Mrs. Alice. It’s not good to sleep like this.
-I think so too,” Yanis nodded and went forward to wake her up.
Waking up, unconsciously, she reached out and rubbed her eyes, -Yanis, are you coming?
It was unclear what time it was. Alice wanted to see the time, but Yanis helped her up, -Why don’t you take care of yourself at all, did you fall asleep here?
When she got up, her legs were numb and she could only sit up again.
-What’s the matter?
Alice was embarrassed, -It must be that I held a posture for a long time, so my legs are a bit numb, -as she said it, she reached out and rubbed her thigh. Yanis could only help her as he scolded her.
When he had finished, Nathan said.
-Let me keep watch here.
Alice frowned, “But you drove the car yesterday. Did you rest well?
-Don’t worry, Mrs. Alice. I fell asleep again today. I’m very energetic now. Besides, Mr. Kennedy is in a stable condition now. I will find time to rest at midnight.
The next day, Alice talked a lot with Kennedy by her side and couldn’t help falling asleep at the end.
And Alice had a dream.
In the dream, Kennedy woke up, but she had forgotten everything. She didn’t recognize Jack, and she didn’t even admit that the child in Alice’s womb was hers. He coolly replied to Alice not to deceive him by inventing the lies. How could he be attracted to a woman like Alice?
Then Alice was fiercely pushed and rolled down the stairs without swerving.
The woman woke up startled straight up and was startled into a cold sweat. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to reach out and touch her belly.
It didn’t hurt and nothing happened to her, so Alice slowly calmed down.
But Kennedy was still lying peacefully in the hospital bed, which looked a little better than yesterday.
It turned out to be just a dream. It was a false alarm.
Alice reached up and stroked the thin sweat from her forehead. She could feel her heartbeat still racing and could only take a deep breath to calm her emotions.
After finally steadying herself, Alice took Kennedy’s hand again.
Her hands were sweaty from the tension, but the man’s palms were dry and warm, completely unlike her own.
-I had a nightmare and it scared the hell out of me. I know the dream scene can’t happen, and you won’t leave me. So… can you wake up quickly?
-Everyone is very worried about you. The doctor said you might wake up in a short time or not at all. Listen to me, Kennedy. I’ve suffered a lot before, and I don’t want to be a vegetable for the next half-life. If… if… you really do become one….
Having said that, Alice lowered her eyes. The eyeballs were obviously stained with water. There was steam in front and she couldn’t see the scene in front of her.
And the pink lips were slightly open.
-I’ll really leave you….
As soon as the voice fell, Alice felt the man’s fingertips seem to move. She was petrified in place as if struck by lightning. Then suddenly she raised her head to look at Kennedy’s generous palm with a heart trembling heavily.
Was it her illusion, how she felt that Kennedy’s hand had moved just a moment ago…?
Just then, a faintly faint but familiar voice was heard.
-Don’t dare me to try.
It came as a sudden shock to her.
Alice stood there rigid, not daring to move. Her eyelashes trembled so much that she slowly raised her eyes and looked up at him.
It was not known when she opened her eyes. After sleeping for a long time, the sight of him was still deep, hugging her tightly like an iron chain. And the lips looked slightly pale. When she looked at him, the center of her eyebrows twisted. Her thin lips parted again.
-Did you just say you won’t leave me?
It couldn’t matter to Alice what he said, surprised and pleased, annoyed and anxious. She sat for dozens of seconds and then reacted quickly. Suddenly she stood up, ran to Kennedy and hugged him tightly.
He only felt his eyes darken and Alice hugged him all over his body.
Then warm tears fell down her neck.
Kennedy stopped breathing because his heart ached.
That woman…
-Finally you wake up…. I thought you’d fall asleep all the time. Well, you’re finally awake.
Seeing that she was crying by herself, Kennedy was so distraught that he raised his hand with difficulty and landed gently on her waist, hugging her.
-Don’t cry. How can I leave you behind?
Perhaps she had lain down for a long time, which is why the voice sounded so hoarse. Alice was emotionally upset and wanted to hug him to cry for a while. Hearing his voice like that, she had to let go and wipe away the tears.
-I’ll pour you a glass of water.
Then, she was going to get up to pour him some water, but suddenly remembered something, -No. I have to go to the doctor first to get some water. First I have to go to the doctor to see you. Then I give him water if you don’t have a problem.
