Ice and Fire novel Chapter 791

Greg held Violet's hand tightly, feeling sorry for her. He deeply regretted letting his wife go out alone.

Violet started to blink her eyes open slowly, catching sight of Greg. He had puffy eyes and a very grave expression.

"G... Greg," Violet slowly uttered in a husky voice. She found it a little difficult to speak.

Noticing and hearing Violet start to gain her consciousness, everyone inside the room turned towards her with all worry in all their eyes.

"You're finally awake, Violet," Greg exclaimed, lighting up with delight. Hearing Violet call him and say his name again gave him such joy.

Violet nodded at him and then spotted Alice, Amy and Derek.

"Alice? Aunt Amy? Uncle Derek? Why are you all here? What are you doing here?" Violet started asking, looking a little confused.

Then, she turned and looked at the other side of the room. "Auntie Selina, Uncle Wilson, you're both here, too," she said, still a little bewildered.

"Violet," Amy called softly, trying not to show her how worried she felt. She was a little at a loss for words. She knew what she needed to inform Violet about, but she didn't know how and where to start.

Before anyone among her family could speak, Violet slowly regained her memories. Everything came back to her piece by piece. She finally fully recalled what happened that night before she lost her consciousness.

Everyone saw the changes in violet's expressions and they all started to worry.

Violet slowly withdrew her hand from Greg's. She moved it along the thin, white blanket. As she reached her belly, she stopped.

"My baby? Where is my baby? Where is it?" Violet asked, as she slid into a panic. Lying on the bed, she lovingly touched her belly but she couldn't feel the life of her little baby. Dread slowly creeping in, she then remembered how she bumped into the corner of the desk and what Cassie did to her next.

She didn't dare recall any further. She couldn't and wouldn't be able to take it. She closed her eyes and slowly opened them. Rattled, she asked, "My baby? Where is my baby??"

"Violet," Selina began with a hesitant expression. She tried to let Violet know of the truth, but she had no idea how and where to start. As a mother, she knew very well how the death of her child would impact Violet's life.

Seeing the anxiety etched on Violet's face, Alice stepped towards her and perched herself on the edge of the bed. "Violet, you and Greg will be blessed with another child," she tried to comfort Violet, taking her hand to stop the latter from touching her belly.

Violet's eyes widened and the grief on her face was evident. She snatched her hand away from Alice's grip and tried to sit up. However, she couldn't as she was still too weak.

Violet turned away from Alice. "How's our baby, Greg? Where is our baby? Tell me what happened to our baby," she demanded, looking at her husband who was beside Alice, her confidant.

Looking at his panic-stricken wife, Greg reluctantly answered with anguish, "I'm sorry, Violet. I'm terribly sorry."
