Forgotten Wife Let the traitors kneel Down (by Patricia Maradiaga) novel Chapter 134

“You’re right, we’ll ask them tomorrow.”

Maya put the book aside, snuggled against Cassians chest, and said to him.

“I hope we can find the key.”

‘I’m sure we will.”

Alessandro had gone to his office after dinner since he had quite a bit of work to catch up on. Someone knocked on his office door; it was Gabriel asking if he could come in.

“Come in.”

“Your Majesty, there’s something I’d like to inform you about.”

“What’s going on?”

Alessandro asked without lifting his gaze from the papers in front of him.

“It’s about your wife.”

Immediately, Alessandro looked up.

“What’s going on with my wife?”

“She asked me not to say anything, but I believe you need to know.”

“Speak, Gabriel, get to the point. What’s going on with Abril?”

“She hasn’t been feeling well for several days; she’s been experiencing dizziness, nausea, and

headaches.”

Alessandro stood up, visibly agitated.

“Is she sick? Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

“She insisted it was nothing, but it’s been a week, and the symptoms haven’t subsided.”

“Call a doctor immediately, have them come to my quarters.”

Alessandro headed to the door, just before crossing the threshold, Gabriel said.

“Your Majesty, I’m not entirely sure, but my wife experienced similar symptoms recently.”

“What illness did your wife have?”

“My wife wasn’t sick; she was pregnant. Perhaps the queen is too.”

Alessandro was stunned. Abril’s mother had told her it was best not to have children for the time

being, and he also believed it was best since a war would soon break out. He leaned against the

door frame, feeling a wave of dizziness.

“Pregnant?”

“I think it’s most likely.”

A Great Love Story

Alessandro said to him.

“Tell the doctor to come early tomorrow.”

“As you command, Your Majesty.”

Alessandro went straight to his room, leaving his work behind without a second thought. Abril was already lying in bed, sleeping deeply. He approached her and caressed her cheek.

“Aby, wake up.”

Abril felt her eyelids heavy; since opening the second seal, she had been feeling constantly tired and dizzy. She forced herself to open her eyes and asked.

“What’s wrong, Lessan?”

“Why didn’t you tell me you weren’t feeling well?”

Abril cleared her mind, sat up in the bed, and seeing Alessandro so worried, she caressed his

cheek and replied.

“I didn’t want to make you worry.”

“Gabriel told me you’ve been feeling dizzy and nauseous. Is that true?”

“Yes, but I’ll feel better soon; I just need to rest.”

Alessandro brushed a strand of hair from Abril’s face and said to her.

“Gabriel thinks you might be pregnant because his wife had the same symptoms when she was

expecting.”

Abril hadn’t wanted to tell Alessandro that she had broken a second seal because he had many other things to take care of, and if he had found out he would surely have left everything to be with

her.

“I don’t think that’s it, Lessan. I’ve actually broken another seal that keeps my magic contained.”

“What? When did that happen?”

“A week ago. I’m sorry, I didn’t want you to worry, so I didn’t tell you.”

“Abril, I’m your husband, and I’m here for you. You should tell me these things; you shouldn’t bear everything alone.”

“I’m sorry, I’ll tell you next time.”

“I’ve called for the doctor; he’ll examine you tomorrow.”

“I’ll be fine in a few days.”

“Even so, I’ll feel more at ease if he examines you. I also ask Sirius to check on you to ensure

everything is fine with your magic.”

“Okay.”

Alessandro hugged her, giving a sigh of relief and disappointment at the same time.

“I’m glad to know you’re not sick. I was very scared when Gabriel told me.”

“Would you have hated it if I was pregnant?”

Alessandro pulled back a little to look directly at Abril’s face and said to her.
