In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 253

When I woke up, I found myself on my bed.

Steven is sitting next to me. His countenance is severe.

I regain my consciousness and know very well what happened before I fainted. In my sleep, even my breathing was hurting me. Now I feel that I have nothing left to live for.

“The baby was buried,” Steven said slowly after staring at me for a while.

The word stabbed at my heart so hard.

“You’d better get more rest. You were almost bleeding to death. If I hadn't come in time, you would…”

“You came in time! If I had been accompanied by you it wouldn’t have happened!” I yelled at him. “You are supposed to be with me when I do the check-up every month, but where are you? And how’d Frances know I got pregnant? How’d he find here? You must’ve told him!”

It’s quite clear to me that Steven is the last one to blame for, but I can’t control myself. I think selfishly and stubbornly that maybe it will make me feel better to blame someone. Steven, however, doesn’t have to endure all this.

“Jane, no shouting. You are in confinement after giving birth. Protect your voice and be in a good mood.” Mom walked in.

“Giving birth? Where’s my baby? Where?” I cried. I am falling into despair.

Mom looks at me with concern, tears dropping from her eyes. Then she wiped away her tears and walked out.
