Chapter Twenty-Four - Lies and Tears

|jaehyun's POV|

It didn't take long for Taeyong to drive us to the hospital. He drive slightly faster then usual.

He could tell how worried I was. It was lucky that we didn't get pulled over.

Arriving at the hospital, I run to reception without waiting for Taeyong.

"Jung Nara. Where is she?" I ask hurriedly.

The lady searches her up and tells me the location of her room.

Taeyong rushes to my side just as I turn to run down the corridors of this place.

Her room isn't too far away. It is open when I get to it.

I stop in the doorway and look inside quickly to confirm that it's the right room.

Nara is laying in the bed she is crying softly as Jaemin holds her hand in both of his and just speaks to her.

"Nara" I run over to her side and she turns to look at me.

"Jae..." She trails off, starting to cry heavier and harder then before.

"What the hell happened?" I ask as Taeyong closes the door, remaining beside it.

"We were on our way to the store when a stranger just stopped right in front of us. I asked what he wanted and he just punched Nara in the stomach as hard as he could before running away." Jaemin explains, keeping his head low.

"Blood was dripping down my leg as the ambulance arrived. They told me the baby was lost." Nara lifts her free hand to cover her eyes as she just cries.

I don't know what to say. I don't know how to comfort her. I'm suddenly at a loss for words.

Then it hits me.

Father wants to win this case and he will take all measures he possibly can. Even if that means destroying evidence.

Even evidence which is inside the stomach of his own daughter.

My knees suddenly feel weak. I feel as though I'm going to collapse.

I take a small step backwards to regain my footing. Suddenly I feel Taeyong wrapping his arm around my lower back.

"I've got you" He speaks assuringly.

"I don't want you to come to the trial tomorrow." I tell both Nara and Jaemin.

She immediately disagrees. "I have to go. This is my trial, Jae. I can't just not show up."

"You're injured. I want you to rest. It's a huge mental toll as well. You just lost your baby." My protective side is coming out strong as I look at her frail state.

In truth I just don't want her to see me testify. I don't want her to see me risk my reputation before everyone.

I don't want her to watch on as I could possibly ruin my life.

—

I managed to convince her to stay away from the trial today. Jaemin helped as he didn't want her to go while she is in this state.

Taeyong and I are in the foyer of the courtroom with Doyoung and Yuta. Johnny is already seated inside.

I feel even worse then I did yesterday. Knowing that today I could be ruining everything for myself just makes me want to throw up.

On top of that I have to get this right. For my sister I have to perfect this.

"You are going to do great" Yuta tries to assure me but it doesn't have any affect.
