Ethan’s POv"Don't be sad because of me," Sarah said again that, in between her meals, her thoughts didn't stop there.I looked at her. She was trying not to care as she said it, but I could tell she was holding back the sadness in her eyes; she wasn't in a good place herself, asking me not to worry too much about her situation.She took over her spoon and ate herself, lowering her gaze to avoid me. "You've done enough for me. Why do you feel guilty?"I really should have just clenched my mouth shut.Which part of me had forgotten to deal with. The doctor often emphasized her emotional state, which could be more sensitive, and Lira even confirmed it to me.She who repeatedly met with me often discussed it in detail even if only in passing, she asked me not to forget about it and be careful because her sensitivity could trigger deep sadness and have a harmful impact on her pregnancy.At one point, Lira told me she couldn't understand why Sarah was crying because they were looking at an
Sarah pov"Are you sure you want to come with me? Don't want to stay home? I can get someone to drive you home if you want." Ethan turned to me after he stopped his car in the parking lot in front of the building.I looked at those eyes intently, slightly bending my eyebrows. "No, we already discussed it. Let me come inside."He sighed deeply. I began to think that maybe he didn't want me to pay attention to him during work or was bothered by my presence. Wasn't he happy with me being around?Ah, am I the only one who thinks that?"Alright, but don't work. Just sit in my room and don't do anything." He warned sternly.I nodded my head immediately and excitedly. "Alright." I really couldn't work anyway.Considering that I had arrogantly said I would keep working because I was bored and couldn't do anything by staying home, what nonsense!The first semester of pregnancy was tough. I didn't have the energy to move my fingers, let alone work. I couldn't even sit for hours.My stomach was
Sarah pov"What would you like to order, Sarah?" Ethan turned to me after carefully seating me in one of the chairs with a view of the window, which looked so beautiful from a height.I looked at the row of counters that showed the food menu neatly arranged in special containers. I looked at it for a long time until I finally decided what I wanted to eat with heavy consideration. "I'll have set menu A, complete with berry juice." She didn't allow me to take my own order there.The office cafeteria provides self-service for food collection. Those who eat there will only be served to get their food rations according to the measure. The rest will be done by the efforts of those who visit alone.Ethan nodded while lightly rubbing my cheek. "Alright, I'll be right back, so wait here for a while." He departed from there immediately.Like his request, I waited quietly in my place, observing him from afar with a smile. Who cares about the glances of the people around me when I have Ethan at t
Sarah pov"Can you give me the documents I requested for this month?" I spoke to the person in charge of the documents I would ask to check today.The person looked deftly at my desk. "I'll give it to you, ma'am." He replied with a polite word.Yes, entering the second trimester, I began to involve myself with work more actively. It was all because my condition was getting better. It's not completely good; it's just that I've adapted more to my pregnancy, and my nausea tendency has also decreased more.If I stayed at home without doing anything to keep me busy, I would become lackluster and bored. Finding something to do and being busy was still not fun when it was just me, so I asked Ethan's permission or forced him to let me go back to work. After a long conversation and a lot of debate, he finally allowed me to go back to work, but with many conditions that I had to follow, among which I had to obey his orders.I agreed and here I am now, back at work with the others. But something
Sarah pov"Don't you think that he's overdoing it lately?" I exited the car with Lira's help, who opened the door quickly and helped me get up more easily.I've noticed that since I got pregnant, people have been paying more attention to me, especially Ethan and Lira. I'm sure Lira did this not only because Ethan insisted on her taking care of me and making sure I was safe but also because of her concern for my well-being and her desire for me to be okay without feeling anything less.I told you that sometimes she's like a sister, a mother, and a friend to me. She quickly switches roles and makes me have it all. The thing I'm most grateful for in life is having her in my life.Lira wrapped my arm around hers as she led me to walk beside her. "What's too much? He's doing the natural thing by worrying about you. Don't get too overwhelmed by his attitude. When he doesn't care about anything, then when you're pregnant, it hurts, so just enjoy his attention as much as you can."She has a p
Sarah's pov"This too?" Lira pointed towards another outfit, the same one for couples, but this time, it was a loose-fitting sweater.I looked at it closely and smiled fondly. "Please give me this one, too," I asked the waitress on duty. She immediately nodded and got the order in the size I requested.She glanced at me as she approached and took over the groceries I had paid for. "Gosh, this love bird is really enjoying herself." She returned to scoffing at me whenever she had the time.Honestly, it was a bit annoying and disturbing, though nothing serious. "You're the one pointing it out to me." I protested his attitude.He walked on indifferently while moving his shoulders. "What did I do? I'm just pointing it out. I'm saying, 'See this? What about this one?' not 'Buy this, and wear it together with her.' Obviously, that was your own idea." She glanced sarcastically with a snorting smile that didn't accept being blamed.As annoying as it was, I couldn't even deny her words. She was
Diana pov"How about this one, Sarah?" I immediately turned my head when I heard the name mentioned and saw an unfortunate sight near me.I stared at her intently, from a distance I noticed that the woman seemed happy with her life. She seemed to be enjoying everything she got after my son's death, that woman she didn't look sad and lost.In the past, she said she loved my son, but what happened? What happened was the opposite. She said that she loved him, yet she was the one who killed my son. Alex he left because of that woman. He died and left me, all his dreams, all the happiness he should have had because of that woman.I tried to control my trembling as I saw her on the other end, laughing and happy, without any sadness or guilt. "So she's pregnant?" I looked at her stomach, then smiled bitterly.If only she had done what I said and proved that she loved Alex the way I asked her to, nothing terrible would have happened to Alex. My son would still pursue his desire to succeed in
Diana's POV"Your hand has a bruise on the wrist, ma'am." The doctor's voice broke my reverie.After what had happened and I had collapsed at the foot of the stairs, they lifted me up and carried me to my room, laid me limply on the bed and told the doctor to come.But who cares about the bruises on my hands when my heart and feelings have been filled with many invisible wounds. Who cares about the soles of my feet that they bandaged? I no longer fully feel the pain in my body.I don't know why, but the bruises on my hands and the puncture wounds under the soles of my feet are strangely not felt. Faint, not as painful as usual.I stood still, staring blankly straight ahead. Nothing was visible to me but emptiness."What happened to her condition, Doc?" I faintly heard Emy ask.The doctor beside me took a deep breath. "His injuries are not severe, but he has a serious condition." She took out his report again, visible from the corner of my eye.A few days ago, he came to check on me. Y
