A concerned look came across
Rose’s face. She has been looking rather pate these few days. She doesn’t seem to have much appetite either ‘m not sure if she’s unwell or if she’s just having difficultyve adapting to a foreign place.
“Really? I’d better go and check on her!” Alyssa was concerned for Tatiana. She got up immediately and left her seat.
At the same time, the happy newlyweds were on stage with joyful smiles on their faces, watching their loved ones dedicate a song to them with ath their hearts. Landon couldn’t refrain from putting his arms around Lauren.
He held her shoulders firmly as he kissed her forehead, cheeks, and the corners of her lips.
He couldn’t shower her with enough kisses and love over this lifetime.
All of a sudden, a glimmer flashed across Lauren’s clear eyes. She stared straight at the audience. Her lashes fluttered, and her pink lips started quivering.
Her eyes turned red. They glistened as she welled up with tears.
“Darling. Darling? Are you okay?” Landon started panicking when he noticed that Lauren was crying.
“A-An-Angie…” Lauren stuttered.
Her lips trembled, and her voice was extremely raspy, as if she had been parched for a long time.
Though her voice barely rose above a murmur, Landon caught every word. He heard her loud and clear!
“Lauren! You… You can speak?”
Landon was so agitated that tears filled his eyes. He lost it. “Lauren! You really can speak?”
“Lan-don…”
Lauren lifted a finger and pointed to the spot below the stage nearest to them. She had a wide smile on her face, yet tears were streaming down her cheeks. “I… see… Angie…” Landon looked in the direction that Lauren was pointing at.
There was no one there.
Without Angelina, he wouldn’t have anything. So, he put on a pleased smile on his face, as if he were greeting an old-time friend who had traveled far and wide to attend their wedding. “You’re right. Angie is back.”
He whispered into her ear, “I see her too. She’s smiling at us.”
After asking a few helpers, Alyssa finally found Tatiana in the washroom at the end of the corridor. She was leaning over a sink and throwing up. The expression on her face showed that she was having a really difficult time.
“Taty! You…”
Alyssa stood behind Tatiana. She noticed her pale face and the tears in the corners of her eyes.
Suddenly, she widened her eyes. She grabbed Tatiana’s icy hands and exclaimed, “Taty! It can’t be, can it? Are you…”
“Lyse…” Tatiana’s petite frame started trembling. She welled up with tears.
At last, she couldn’t hold herself back and started crying before Alyssa. “I’m pregnant… I’m pregnant with Sean’s child…”
Alyssa gasped and covered her mouth in shock. She was moved beyond tears.
Their family could finally expect the birth of a new generation!
Winston and Lyla would be great-grandparents, while she and Jeremy would soon be an aunt and uncle!
Alyssa wiped the tears off Tatiana’s cheeks. Overjoyed, she pulled her in for ran embrace. In a shaky voi she asked, “Since when?” ent
“I don’t know… I haven’t been to a hospital for a checkup…”
Tatiana’s crying. She sniffled pitifully. “Sean ones were swollen from and
But early this month, have always used pro…
“Did you both stop using protection?”
Alyssa became a little upset. “Sean loves you very much and only wants to marry you. But, at the end of the day, you are both not yet married He has not officially proposed. It’s really too much of him to only care about his own pleasure and not think about you!”
“No, no! That’s not it!”
In an instant, Tatiana’s cheeks flushed even redder. She clarified, “Sean… He uses it.
“It was just that time… After seeing him off to work, I returned to tidy up the room. I found… I found…” “What did you find?” Alyssa’s curiosity was killing her.
Tatiana shut her eyes and lowered her head shyly. “The rubber he used the previous night… had ripped.”
Alyssa put her palm to her forehead. She was speechless.
Sean, that brat… How hard did he go? He did it on purpose, didn’t he?
“Taty, how did you find out, then?”
“After that time, I haven’t been feeling very well. I’ve been feeling sluggish… I thought I was tired because of insufficient rest, so I didn’t think too much about it.
“It wasn’t until recently, when I started feeling nauseous, that I felt that something was wrong. I went out secretly the night before last to buy a pregnancy test kit. I tested yesterday morning and…” Even though this was good news, Alyssa’s hair stood on end as she listened to Tatiana. She even felt really guilty.
She had been focusing on looking after Lauren and helping her out all she could. Sean, as her subordinate, was also in the thick of things. They all failed to care for Tatiana, who looked pale but was still trying to keep her spirits up.
Tatiana was pregnant at such a young age. She felt stressed both physically and mentally. She was not prepared to be a mother at all.
Alyssa’s heart ached at just the thought of her precious sister living in anxiety and fear each day.
“Taty… I’m sorry. I should have realized. I didn’t pay enough attention to you. It was my fault!”
Alyssa wrapped Tatiana in an embrace. Her heart raced. “You said that you just found out yesterday. So, does that mean that Sean and Lyla don’t know about it yet?”
“Lyse… I’m scared…”
Tatiana’s shoulders trembled as she cried silently. “Sean hasn’t proposed or married me, and I’m already pregnant with his child. I’m afraid that Mom and Dad will be upset. I’m afraid that they’d make things difficult for Sean.”
“Oh, silly! You’re letting your thoughts run wild! You’re pregnant with Winston’s first grandchild. He would be jumping with joy. Why would he be mad?
“He has been unwell. If he finds out about this piece of news, who knows? Being in a good mood might actually be helpful toward his condition!” “R-Really?” Tatiana sniffled.
“Yeah.”
With tears in her eyes, Alyssa caressed Tatiana’s belly with her trembling hands. She said, “This is great. Our beloved Taty is going to be a mom.
“You and baby have to take good care of yourselves. Your baby has to be born into this world safe and sound.”
In her mind, a vivid image flickered-Tatiana and Sean, their faces alight with joy as they cradled a child, a living testament to their love. It would be a family, a dream built from the pieces of her own unspoken longing.
Perhaps, Alyssa thought, witnessing their happiness would bring a semblance of peace, a way to assuage the regret that would forever be her burden.
Axel avoided the hustle and bustle and came to a quiet balcony alone. He had a dull expression on his face as he puffed on his cigarette.
He had always been a lone ranger. He couldn’t relate to the joys and sorrows of socializing with other people.
But tonight, he was incredibly touched to see the newlyweds on the receiving end of their families’ and friends’ blessings. He couldn’t help but think about Amber.
His face was grim as he leaned against the railing and exhaled puffs of smoke. He leaned farther and farther back, inch by inch, out of the balcony. He looked as if he would fall over if he weren’t carefuldt was a reckless and heart-stopping sight.
Axel took out his phone. He gulped, but his mouth still felt dry.
At last, he couldn’t refrain himself and dialed Amber’s number.
He was well aware that she was being confined and watched at all times. Thus, he never dared to reach out to her ever since they parted at the scene of the fire.
Axel, who was usually fearless, was actually afraid of contacting the woman he loved.
The feeling was as if his heart was being roasted in a pit. The pain he suffered was unbearable. Every single second was torture to him.
As a secret agent, he always acted
????
carefully. So, his caller ID was encrypted whenever he made outgoing calls. Even if Amber’s cell might be monitored, they would not be able to identify him.
