I lost my world!

I was walking down the street. I still had no idea where would I go. My stomach growled, I had barely eaten anything since morning. 

Suddenly, my head began spinning. I felt like I was going to faint. Before anything like that could happen, I rushed to the family hospital.

“Diana, Congratulations. You’re pregnant,” Doctor Shelly announced with a warm smile but I left speechless. 

“What? Are you sure?” I stammered, my mind reeling. I had clearly missed my period, but I’d been so caught up in the chaos of life that I hadn’t paid any attention to it. She turned the screen on and showed me.

“Look here… This is your baby,” she said, pointing to the tiny dots on the screen. They already touched my heart. It had been three years since my marriage to Alex, and we had never thought of something like this. I could already imagine a baby playing in Alex's arms.

I rushed home in the middle of the night, desperate to tell Alex about my pregnancy. I called his number, but Secretary Jin picked up.

“Secretary Jin, where is Alex?” I asked excitedly. I hoped he wasn’t out of town this time. 

“Boss is in an urgent meeting at Hotel Blue Lagoon. You can’t meet him now,” he said and hung up the phone. I could not wait for tomorrow. 

I wasted no time and, at 2 AM, I reached the hotel Blue Lagoon. But I was stopped by some men at the entrance.

“You’re not allowed to enter. Miss Vini asked us not to disturb her when she’s with her boyfriend.” one of them said. I clenched my fist and wanted to punch their faces.

“Boyfriend? That’s fucking my husband!” I snapped and rushed inside. I was stunned to see Alex's shoes next to a pair of female sandals. It made me feel a little weird.

As soon as I entered, I found Vini standing in the wrapped towel in front of me, her golden blond hair was dripping water as if she had taken a bath just now. I was stunned to see her.

“Hey… Don’t you have any manners to knock before getting in? What if we were making out?” She shouted at me. The noise of the shower in the bathroom was enough to make me understand what was going on.

“Isn’t he supposed to have a meeting here?” I asked, squinting my brows.

“Don’t you know? We’re going to get engaged soon. You’re just a burden on his head. His useless wife.” she said smugly, crossing her arms.

"Shut up. Let me talk to him." I headed to the bathroom to open the door, but Vini grabbed my hand to stop me. 

“Haven’t you divorced him already? If he really loved you, he wouldn't be with me here in this room. she sneered and pushed me away.

My stomach hit the edge of the table, and I felt a sudden pain. Blood started dripping down my thighs.

“Help… Help… I am pregnant.” I screamed, but that girl just looked at the blood and smirked. I wanted to save my baby, so I managed to get out of the room.

At 3 AM, I was searching for a cab in the basement of Hotel Blue Lagoon. I bumped into the bonnet of a black Rolls Royce. I couldn’t see inside, but the car's front lights turned on. I can feel someone already sitting inside.

“Please take me to the hospital. Please save my baby… Please help me.” I begged the man sitting inside, joining my hands together. 

The blood flowed freely, and my vision slowly started to blur. I collapsed against the bonnet of the car and fell unconscious.

When my eyes opened, my head was heavy as if thousands kg weights were placed on my forehead. The sterile scent of the hospital confirmed where I was. It was hard for me to remember anything that happened last time. A young man in a black suit stood beside me, his expression unreadable. I didn’t recognise him, but I didn't care. I only remembered my unborn baby.

“How is my baby?” I asked that person, whose face was neutral. I rubbed my stomach and felt nothing. He didn’t say anything. His silence explained everything.

“Tell me how is my baby? Were they able to save him?” I grabbed his collar in desperation and asked him again.

“No. They couldn’t,” he shook his head. As soon as I heard it, I wasn’t ready to believe it. I started hitting his chest angrily.

“You’re lying. My baby… How could they not save him? You’re lying…”

He endured my blows like a solid rock, and after a moment, my anger vented out. A burst of tears began falling from my eyes. I started crying while clung to him as if he were my last anchor in the storm. He raised his hand to caress my head but then fisted his palm.

“My baby… I shouldn’t have gone back to him… My baby…” I felt as if I had lost the world. Unknowingly, my arms wrapped around him and my face tucked into his chest. He let me cry for a while until I felt a little better.

When I came to my senses, I got away from him and wiped my face.

“I’m sorry… ” I said, not dare to look into his eyes. 

“The doctor said you need to rest. You’re weak,” he said, pouring a glass of water for me. I nodded.

"You need a check-up." Doctor Shelly entered the room, and he left. I started crying again in Shelly's arms. 

“Sorry, Diana. We did everything we could,” Shelly said while trying to soothe me. my eyes drifted to the small calendar on the desk. 6th Dec 2023. It's not possible. It was my anniversary yesterday, 2nd June. I immediately looked at Shelly.

"What the day today?" I asked her. She pressed her lips.

"It's 6th Dec. You were in a coma for almost six months." She said and I was stunned to hear this. 

“It was Mr. Dylan who brought you here in the middle of the night. If you had bled more, I wouldn’t have been able to save you, either. He took care of you all the time when you were here.” Shelly said. “I wonder how a powerful person like him stayed with you in the hospital for the entire time. He is rare to attend any event." Shelly added. 

“Oh…” I felt bad, remembering how I had hit him recklessly, even though he had saved me. Instead of thanking him, I behaved rudely to him. I tried to get up, but Shelly stopped me.

“I wanted to thank him,” I said while rushing outside. 

“No use of it, he paid your bill and already left,” Shelly said, and I felt baffled. Six months passed, and everything changed.

"Did anyone come to see me?" I asked, my voice full of curiosity. 

"If you are asking about Alex, No he didn't come to see you." She said.
