Chapter 184
“I told you you really didn’t have to come if you were busy, Levi” Kiara murmured as Levi walked into the room with a smile on his face.
“Well I wanted to come and I missed you” He murmured as he sat down on the bed.
Kiara frowned when she saw that he had bruises on his face and his fist was bandaged.
“Levi, did you get into a fight?” She questioned as she stared at him with wide eyes.
“It’s no big deal, Kiara. It was just a silly fight” He murmured but the frown didn’t leave her face.
“A silly fight? Why is your hand bandaged then? Was it your father? Is he hurting you again?” Levi chuckled.
“Relax, okay? I’m fine. Don’t worry about it and how many times do I have to tell you to stop treating me like your son?” She pouted at his words.
“Well I’m sorry if I care” He chuckled before glancing over at Zane’s bed.
“He’s really asleep huh? He must have been really tired to have willingly left you alone” Levi murmured as he turned back to Kiara.
“Do you think I’m making him unhappy too? This situation we are in, I know it’s very stressful and I know Zane is trying to do everything he can to help me but…” Levi furrowed his eyebrows.
“But what?” She sighed as tears rolled down her cheeks.
“What if I just give up on the baby? It’s going to give everyone peace of mind and Zane is not going to be unhappy anymore” He frowned.
“Why are you saying such things, Kiara?” She bit her lower lip then placed her head on her palm.
“Because I’m tired, Levi. I’m so tired and the pain is just getting worse day by day. Every fucking day, I get to stare at the sadness in Zane’s eyes and it’s killing me because I know it’s because of my situation he’s like that. I’m just tired, Levi. I just want this to end quickly” He watched her silently as she cried then sighed before gently lifting up her head and wiping away her tears.
“You are the strongest woman I know and…”
“Stop saying that! I’m not strong at all! I’m so weak, Levi” She whispered harshly so she won’t wake Zane up. Even though she was mad right now, She still wanted Zane to rest.
“Believe it or not, you are the strongest woman I know. If anyone else was in your situation, they would have given up long ago but you, you have gotten this far Kiara. I know it only gets worse from here but think about how happy not only Zane will be but you as well when these babies are laying in your arms safe and sound? No one said it was going to be easy and it’s not a happy situation. Trust me, Zane is more worried about your happiness and pain and the more you’re sad, the more he’s sad and the more you’re in pain, the more pain he’s in” She sniffled as she stared at Levi.
“You think so? If I’m happy, will he be happy as well?” Levi nodded with a smile.
“He will. You both just have to be there for one another during this time. You both have made it this far even though there were some mistakes made along the way but you have made this far and that’s all that matters” Kiara sighed then wiped away the remaining tears on her face before smiling slightly.
“Thank you, Levi. You always know what to say to calm me down” She murmured and he chuckled.
“Well, the perks of having to calm myself down when I was sad or broken all those years ago but I’m better now. Now, get up” Kiara frowned.
“Where are we going?” She questioned as she watched him get up from the bed.
“We are going to take a stroll to Heather’s hospital room. I know you’re both dying to see each other and now that Zane’s asleep, you can” Kiara’s eyes immediately brightened at Heather’s name. It has been so long since she last saw her.
“Okay” Levi helped her place her leg on the floor then gave her a hand to get up. Kiara waddled over to Zane’s bed and placed a kiss on his lips before following Levi out of the room.
After visiting Heather, Kiara instantly felt better. They began to talk about what names they’d give their children and what gender they would be.
“I think mine is going to be a girl and a boy. I can feel it” Kiara muttered with a smile.
“Everyone seems to think mine is a boy so if he does turn out to be a boy, how about we betroth our children?” Heather uttered jokingly, making Kiara giggle.
“I won’t have it any other way” Kiara checked the time and gasped as how the time had flown by so fast.
“I need to get back. Zane would wake up anytime from now” Kiara uttered excitedly as she stood up from the bed.
“Okay, I guess I’ll see you later and I hope you are okay, Kiara” Kiara smiled at her then nodded.
“I’m good,don’t worry about me. Let’s go, Levi” Levi nodded then waved goodbye at Heather and at Daniel who was sitting at the side.
As soon as they walked into the room, Kiara’s eyes widened slightly when she saw Zane seated on her bed.
Without thinking, she ran up to him and wrapped her arms around him tightly.
“You slept for so long, Zane. I like that but I missed you” She had expected him to laugh but he hummed instead. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
She slowly pulled back a little so she could stare at his face.
“Is… is something wrong?” She questioned and he sighed before reaching under her pillow and bringing out the container of pills.
Kiara gasped loudly as she jumped away from him in shock.
“Kiara” Levi muttered softly from behind and she immediately began to cry.
“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, Zane. I tried not to take it, I tried to bear the pain but it was too much for me to handle and I didn’t want to worry anyone. I’m so sorry, Zane. I’m sorry for being weak” Zane sighed then turned to Levi.
“Can you give us a little time alone?” Levi nodded.
“I’ll see you guys later then” He muttered then walked out of the room. As soon as he was gone, Zane turned to Kiara who was still crying with her head bowed down in Shame.
“Come here” He murmured softly but she shook her head.
“No, I’m too embarrassed to face you” She muttered and he sighed before standing up and walking towards her. He raised her chin slowly then kissed away the tears on her face.
“I’m not mad at you, Kiara” She sniffled as she stared up at him with wide eyes.
“You are not? But I took the pill and…”
“I understand that the pain you’re in is unbearable and if I were in your shoes, I would have probably done the same but it’s not good for you, Kiara. I know it helps with the pain but you are going to have to be able to withstand the pain on your own. Don’t worry, I’ll be right by your side holding you hand. If you need to hurt someone to lessen your pain then hurt me. I want to share your pain with you”…
