My Evil Boy Toy

Chapter 179 - Pain

The day we needed to go back to Flousia was getting nearer. And as the days go by, I'm becoming more and more anxious. I couldn't tell anyone about it, thinking that I would be just a burden.

I should be feeling well by now, it has been five days since I started staying in our bedroom to rest. But the more I thought of going back to Flousia, I felt that my condition didn't get better.

I was sitting by the window when I heard a few knocks. Father came inside then rushed towards me with a worried face.

"Why are you sitting there by yourself? You should be in bed."

I giggled. He was really like a father now. I've never been scolded or cared for by a parent so this was all new to me, but I really liked it. I felt like I was a very special girl.

"I'm okay, Dad. Venice and one of the maids helped me. My back's getting sore from laying down and I wanted to have some fresh air." 

I heard him sigh while giving me a pinch on the cheek.

"I talked to your husband about your plan. I must admit, it was a good plan. I don't really like the idea that you'll get involved with this but your husband said that this is what you wanted. Is that true?" He asked.

I looked at him with a pleading eye.

"Yes. Dad, we both know that everything you have done so far, you will eventually need to pay for all of it. I am trying to accept that one day, you will not be with us. But I wanted to cherish the days that you are here with me and Caden. So please, stay here. Once we go to Flousia, stay in the palace. There were secret passages there that you can use so no one would suspect that you are with us. I believed in Jayden and my friends so I am asking you to trust and believe in us."

He suddenly kneeled down in front of me which surprised me. He took my hands and smiled at me.

"I'll do it for you but promise me that you and Caden will be safe. If anything happens, I want you to run or hide. Don't ever try to save someone else other than yourself and your kid. Promise me, Margaret." He said in a gentle but firm voice.

I couldn't say a word and wouldn't dare to defy him. I know he's worried, he's a father after all. Like Jayden, he would risk his life for me and Caden, I could see that now.

"I promise, father." I whispered.

He patted me on the head then stared at me with a frown face.

"Is there something wrong? You're pale."

I took my eyes away from him so he won't find out. I tried to turn my head away but he stopped me, looking at me with a dark expression.

"Jayden! Jayden!" He called, shouting loudly. 

"D-Dad, it's not his fault." I stammered.

Jayden came rushing inside the bedroom. I could see he was panting, a sign that he ran. As soon as he entered the room, father grabbed his collar.

"What the hell are you doing? Are you blind? Look at her!" He yelled.

Jayden looked at me and was shocked. He forcefully removed my father's hands to rush beside me.

"Love!" He called while putting his hand on my forehead.

He didn't say a word and just picked his phone from his pocket.

"Please come. It's an emergency." He murmured.

After ending the call, I could see Jayden's face was so restless. He bent down to carry me on the bed.

"I-I'm okay, love." I said , but I honestly felt so weak.

I don't really know what happened. I was feeling fine earlier when I sat by the window. When father came, I felt a sudden pain from my stomach but it disappeared for a while. Then the pain suddenly came back.

I was sweating all over but I couldn't tell father. I was enjoying our chat, not wanting to ruin our father and daughter moment. I didn't realize that I was so pale and weak when dad noticed it.

"You are not okay. Peggy, please." Jayden begged.

I couldn't understand a word he was saying, my visions suddenly went blurry. Then I felt something pinch my belly.

"Ahh!" I shouted.

Jayden was startled. He gently put me down on the bed and held my hands. It was blurry but I know Jayden was on the right side while father was on my left.

"Love, what is it? Please tell me!"

One of my hands was on my belly, the pain was getting intense and more frequent. I held Jayden's hands tighter and harder when I felt like someone punched my stomach. As I screamed in pain, I cried.

I cried because I was thinking about the baby. I know something bad was happening to the child in my womb. 

Sweat was all over me. An extreme pain suddenly hit me and I felt a warm liquid suddenly flowed between my thighs.

I screamed and cried so loud from the pain. I couldn't even hear what Jayden was telling me. A blurred vision was surrounding me and I couldn't tell who were the people that went inside the bedroom. All I could see were the silhouettes of the people around me.

  "Love. Love. Love." I called Jayden while I was crying from pain.

Then another painful attack hit me and that warm liquid flowed again. I put my hand between my thighs to feel and see what was flowing from inside.

I trembled when I saw what it was. Looking at my shaking hands, I wailed. My vision was blurry but I could see the color and I could smell the scent of the liquid which was now in my hand.

"No! No! No! Nooooo!" I screamed so loud then I felt Jayden pull me closer to hug me tight before I lose consciousness.
