Ice and Fire novel Chapter 465

Mond waited anxiously at the door of the hospital emergency room, feeling very guilty about the mess he had caused. He was responsible for all of it and it wouldn't have happened if he hadn't intended to cause a rift between Cherry and Jackson. Due to him, Cherry had fainted and was now in a fragile state. She had landed up in the emergency room.

Drowning in guilt, Mond stared at the hospital ceiling in anguish. Maybe he should stop his thirst for revenge before something goes horribly wrong. He decided there were other options available to him. What if he had a calm, rational discussion with Jackson and sorted things out? Then, he could finally be at peace and the past would be the past. That would mean that Cherry wouldn't be dragged into his plans again and she could lead the life she wanted.

At that moment, the door of the emergency room pushed open and a doctor came out. While Mond was debating what his plan of action would be, the door of the emergency room opened and his heart skipped a beat. A doctor came out to give news on Cherry, Mond rushed to the doctor and asked hurriedly, "Doctor, is she okay?"

"Yes, all of her vitals are stable and she's also awake. You may go in to talk to her, " assured the doctor. Mond rushed into the room to check on Cherry.

Cherry lay on the bed with a pale face. Her disposition looked weak and she had no expressions on her face. When Mond came in, she did not even react to his presence and stared at the television instead. She blamed Mond for the whole incident though he had helped her by bringing her here. If he hadn't called her and told her about Jackson sleeping in the compound, none of this would have happened. Now, her marriage was in a place she wasn't sure it could come back from.

Mond walked towards Cherry's bed and worry bloomed in his heart. She looked very weak and helpless. He asked with concern, "Cherry, Are you okay? Are you uncomfortable now? Does it hurt?"

Cherry stubbornly ignored his words and continued her stare battle with the television. She had no desire to speak to him.

Interrupting the awkward silence in the air, a doctor walked in expectantly, with a file in hand. She was middle-aged and female, who specialized in treating women.

"Are you Cherry?" The doctor looked at Cherry and scolded her, "Being a pregnant woman, you need to take better care of your health as well as your baby. You can't afford to fall sick like this. Don't forget, you still have 8 months to go before delivery."

Next, she fixed her eyes on Mond and instructed, "Take good care of your wife and give in to all her demands, even if they are erratic. Make sure she gets plenty of vitamins for her nutrition and gets good sleep too. Currently, she is very weak and cannot afford to stay up late from now on."

Ever since the doctor had begun talking about pregnancy, Cherry and Mond's heads had been spinning. They just stared at the doctor speechless, mouths agape.

"Doctor, what did you just say? I'm pregnant?!" Cherry couldn't believe what the doctor just said. She was pregnant? She was going to have another child? The news was slowly sinking through her mind. But the timing was horrible. It looked like she and Jackson were going to end things. She didn't want another baby with him.

Mond also looked at the doctor in shock, trying to process the news they had just heard. Was Cherry really pregnant? Though he wasn't her husband, he did want to take care of her. After all, it was his fault she had ended up in this situation. He just hoped that she would gradually get better and be fine.

"Yes, you are one month pregnant. Congratulations! The details are in this file, go through it, " said the doctor, handing Cherry the file. She then left the ward to give them some space.
