Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam) novel Chapter 169

~CLARA~

Delilah placed her arm over my shoulder as she helped me walk into Damon's hospital room. As soon as I laid my eyes on him, my breath hitched.

His whole body was covered in bandages, especially his head. I internally winced as I remembered how Sebastian had stomped on his head.

Delilah helped me towards the bed and I groaned slightly as I sat on it before reaching out to touch his face.

“My love, I miss you” I murmured as tears rolled down my cheeks. I moved closer and placed a kiss on his lips, not caring how my tears intertwined with the kiss.

“You have to wake up soon, okay? Our children need you, I need you. I don't think I can do this without you” I murmured with a shaky breath.

“If you can hear me, just know that I miss you and I’m waiting for you to wake up. Please wake up soon, I'm begging you” I murmured softly as I caressed his face gently. That was the only part of his body that wasn't covered with bandages.

“We should head back, everyone would probably chop off my head if they found out I brought you here when you should be resting” She uttered and I sighed, reluctant to leave Damon’s side.

“Can’t I have my bed moved in here? There's a lot of space” I told her and she sighed.

“I don't think that's possible….”

“I don't want to be away from him, Delilah. He needs me and I need him too” I told her and she went silent before she wrapped her arms around me.

“Yes I know and I wouldn't in my wildest dream want to separate the both of you but this ward isn't suitable for you and the doctors can't bring all that equipment they'll use in taking care of you, here. Plus, I know you'll barely sleep a wink because you'll be watching Damon for any slight movement” She said to me and I sighed because I knew her words were true.

“I want to be the first person he sees when he wakes up” I murmured softly and she nodded.

“I bet you will. we need to head back, Clara” Delilah told me and I sighed before leaning in and placing another kiss on his lips.

“I’ll come visit you everyday. I promise” I murmured against his lips and I kept my promise.

Despite their protest, I made my way towards Damon's room everyday and hoped that one of those days, he’ll wake up but he didn't.

Three months passed and I could barely stand up anymore. I was in constant pain and I bled more than usual.

I couldn't go see Damon everyday like I used to but any day I felt less pain, I went to see him despite the doctor's warnings.

“Things are not looking good Mrs Donovan. Your due date is in a few weeks and if you go ahead with this, you'll bleed to death. Please reconsider” The doctor was starting to sound like a broken record.

Ever since I started feeling constant pain, the doctor and everyone else were doing their possible best to talk me out of keeping my babies but I wasn't giving in. I was going to deliver them.

“I want to see Damon. Is he showing any signs of waking up?” I questioned the doctor, instantly changing the subject.
