Chapter 28: Disappointed

"I’m afraid that will take too long. I’m really hungry right now. Could you go out and buy me something?" I looked up at him, trying to make my voice sound as weak as possible.

For the first time, Alexander seemed caught off guard by my obedient expression. He nodded instinctively.

"Alright. I’ll go get something for you. Stay here in the room. If you need anything, call the nurse. Don’t get out of bed."

I nodded, and he left the room.

Immediately, I pressed the button beside my bed, and a nurse hurried in.

"Do you need anything, ma’am?" she asked.

"My baby..." I said weakly. "How is my baby?"

"Your baby is absolutely fine, ma’am. There’s no need to worry for now. But you have to be very careful because your pregnancy is not stable. This time we were able to save the baby, but we don’t know what might happen next time."

I nodded, feeling relieved.

"Your leg is injured, so you will need to avoid movement for the next few days to ensure proper recovery. Because of your pregnancy, we have prescribed ointments only. It’s much safer than oral medication."

"Okay, thank you," I said.

She left the room.

A few moments later, Alexander returned with the food. I ate silently. When I finished, he cleared the containers and returned to my bedside.

"You should go. I will be fine with just the nurses here," I said to him.

"No. I can’t just leave you here alone," he protested.

I didn’t have enough energy to argue, so I stayed silent.

A moment later, his phone rang.

"Hello, Lilian," I heard him say as he walked out of the room.

A few minutes later, he returned with an apologetic look.

"Alicia, I have to go. I’m sorry. I’ll ask Maria to come tomorrow morning, and then I’ll pick you up after you’re discharged. I need to go... Lilian needs me."

"Mm," was all I said nonchalantly.
