Chapter 32

🔞 VERA 🔞

I thought I was going to die. I felt the pain deep to the bone and veins when I fell down from the stairs. I didn't know where I was, but I didn't want to go farther than I had already gone.

When I started recollecting myself, and understanding where I was. The memories flooded into my head and my heavy eyelids forcefully opened.

I stared at a firmly chiseled face filled with worry and sadness. Jack sat there, watching over me like a guardian angel. If it was before the incident, I would have kissed him.

"Vera darling! You are awake! Thank you for making it!" Jack shrieked when he noticed that I was awake.

I felt a throb of pain run through my left ear to my skull and splurged all over my veins. A tear slid down from the corners of my eyes and I dizzily held his hand.

"Miss Vera?" 

It was a distant call, the voice was purely of a Korean accent and I tried to focus my eyes on the white skinned and average built man in his late forties.

I rubbed a hand at my tummy and I noticed that my bump seemed to have depreciated. I felt light and muddleheaded. Then more memories came with the pain.

"My baby! The pregnancy! I'm supposed to have a baby! Jack, where's our baby?!" I gripped his shirt.

"Darling, calm down. You have to…"

"No! You pushed me and I fell on my stomach and there was pain and blackness! Tell me what happened to the seed inside me! Tell me what I'm thinking is not true!"

"You miscarried the baby. We had to flush the baby in exchange for your life. And you have to be careful and strong so you can be able to make another baby. Excuse me," 

The Korean man who wore white suit said and walked out of the room. I looked at Jack with blurry eyes.

"Vera, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault!" Jack wailed.

"What's the point? You killed my baby! It's all good, at least, you just destroyed the only thing that binds us together. You are worse than Kenneth!" I shouted at him, accusation simmering in my eyes. 

"I wasn't going to push you like that. Believe me, I just…" he started denying it, but I cut him off and asked him to leave me alone.

"Please, just go… get out of my sight. You don't know how much I hate you right now," I added coldly when he hesitated to leave even after turning to go.

"No! You can blame me, push me away or kill me if that's gonna make you forgive me and be happy, but don't say that you hate me. It's unfair because I also regret my actions!" He turned back around and stared hard at me.

"Jack, you have your son and wife at home. You have everything, I just realized that I am unwanted. I'm the outsider, an intruder and a distraction to a happy family. I think we are even, so please, go," I pointed out sadly.

Yes, I got what I deserved!

"I will ignore that, you are just in pain and I know you will pull through. You need rest, enough of it," he whispered softly and left without hesitating again.

"Fûck you, Jack! Screw you! No… not again!" I lamented in tears. "Why me? What have I done to deserve this?!" 

Hannah came to visit me at the hospital. She was really shocked and confused because she said she didn't hear about it until the evening when she called and Tim picked up my phone. 

Victoria and the rest of Jack's family members came as well. His mother was really dumbfounded and was at a loss of words. She only held my hand and offered me the strength I didn't know that I needed.
