Chapter 45

Hea PV

The doctor just left, leaving me alone in Wooyoung's room.

As soon as he closed the door the tears started to flow on my face, while I, unable to control them, caress my belly for the first time, having received confirmation of expecting a baby.

As happy as I am, the world has collapsed on me..

I don't know how Wooyoung will react, I'm afraid to tell him.

All this because I can't help thinking about Lucilla's story with Duke Yeosang.

A love that seemed true and sincere, but then the arrival of pregnancy revealed the true noble nature.

I don't say Wooyoung is like his cousin, I know he loves me, but I'm afraid..afraid of being left alone, like my mother.

I never knew her, I was too young when it all happened, but Hongjoong told me something.

Our mother was widowed when she was pregnant with me, my father died in an accident, at least so they say.

Alone and poor, ended up in a brothel to serve at the tables, and Hongjoong, who at the time was only four years old, helped the nobles with the horses outside.

All this continued until I turned two.

One day a drunken nobleman tried to rape my mother, who had long rejected him, but something happened and they both died..

I repeatedly asked for explanations to Hongjoong, but he was also too young and he always told me that he only remembers the great confusion and his concern for me.

We lived in that brothel until the day I met Lady Jung, if it weren't for her ... I don't want to think about what life I would do now.

"So what did the doctor say? He didn't want to say anything to me"
Wooyoung says, entering the room, thus blocking my endless streak of thoughts.

"Are you feeling better?"
He sits on the edge of the bed, and squeezes my hands with his, which I still hold on my stomach.

That simple contact makes me cry again.

"Wait Hea no. My little star, what happens?!"
His tone is worried, and I find myself crying on his chest, cradled by the beat of his heart.

"Hea look at me, breathe"
I do as he says, looking at his hazel eyes, and finding comfort in the love I  can read in them.

"Wooyoung-"
I take a breath, trying to calm down.
"I'm pregnant"
I said it. I could not do otherwise.

I look at his face waiting for an answer, a reaction.

Interminable seconds pass where he looks almost in the void .. and then arrives..

His eyes become shiny, and a sincere smile appears on his face.

He gives me a long kiss, and I've never been happier in my life.

"A tiny bright star will join this sky"
He whispers to me during our hug, caressing my belly gently.

And I feel like an idiot, for doubting him for even a second.
