Next Morning Rebecca opened her eyes and felt stunned to find herself on the hospital bed. She looked around only to glance at Julia who was sleeping on the couch. "Julia…" She called her name. Hearing Rebecca's voice she soon awakened from her sleep and looked towards the bed. "Rebecca!" Julia immediately gets up to watch her wake up. She went to the chair beside the bed and smiled warmly to see her friend finally open her eyes. The next moment she just wrapped her arms around her to hug her with sister love. Last night was so heavy on her. "Thank God! Finally, you opened your eyes. I was too scared when I saw you in the hospital." She broke the hug and looked at her with a minor smile to continue, "So, how are you feeling right now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Julia stared at her with a concerned gaze. As she thought Rebecca should be traumatized by last night's incident. "There is a little headache but what am I doing here? How did I get hospitaliz
"Rebecca, you are thinking wrong…" "I'm not blaming you. There is no blaming you out there. Because it's not your fault in the first place." "Julia…" Rebecca's lips trembled to hold herself crying more. "Listen, Rebecca, I'm telling the truth. It's not your fault. Never blame yourself for what happened last night…" "You stayed there to help old people because they treat you rightly. You loved their care and that's why you just hope to bring a smile to their face last time before going back home. It's not the wrong choice." "And in the first place how could you know that someone does that in the library? You almost work there but never have issues. And about the drunk guy, you are already prepared to resign from your work. What more can you do about that?" Rebecca felt every single word was true. What she can do more to make herself safe from those greedy monsters who live in every single place. "Rebecca, no matter where we women go, stay and live. We got everywhere those bastar
He looked through the glass to see inside and found her lying on the bed again while her eyes were closed. Her skin looks pale while tears come out from the corners. Edwin wanted to go inside and hug her to give her strength. He wanted to tell her how worried he felt watching her last night in the library unconscious… How scared he was all the time to send her to the hospital. How he almost cried from the fear of losing her and the baby. How many bad and negative thoughts captured his mind to break him apart… But he can't say that to her. He got no right. He can not do that. His palm clenched to make the first as he felt angry and helpless at this moment. The woman he likes, the woman he loved, he can't even console her after what she faced out there. But is standing here going to help him or her out? Then the answer is 'No'. He knew it. So, after thinking carefully, he dodges all his negative thoughts and holds the doorknob to unlock the door. Even she feels upset or get
Between their discussion, the small knocks on the door get their attention towards it.Rebecca and Julia turned their heads at the same time and glanced at the door where the old couple stood with guilty smiles on their faces. While Sam is also beside them.As soon as they noticed all of them, both women politely smiled. Julia met them last night and got an introduction. After talking to them she can feel. Why was Rebecca so generous to work there? This couple is truly kind and sweet after the conversation she got to know that."Uncle, Aunt…" Rebecca called out to them. As she's glad to see them.While Sam signals the old couple to get inside with him. With forwarding hand towards insi
"Dear, if you don't feel offended, can we ask you something personal?" The couple glanced at each other a little awkwardly and then at her.She raised her head to meet their eyes. She can sense the hesitation in the tone."What do you want to ask, Aunt?" She looked at the old man's wife.However, she looked at his husband who signalled her by blinking his eyes to speak.She understood her husband's gesture and turned to look at Rebecca before finally raising a question."Dear, the young gentleman who last night helped you and introduced himself as your family member to us when we first met him…is he…is he your baby's da
Julia opens the door and walks inside. The old couple turned their heads to look in her direction. While Rebecca didn't notice her coming and was lost in her thoughts.Julia moved to her side while carrying a small smile."Rebecca, your discharge process is done. You can also leave now."Only then Rebecca realized her presence and responded with a little loss, "What?"Julia raised her brows, "What don't you listen to me?""Sorry, I'm just out of space," Rebecca responded.Julia nodded and she glanced at her with a deep gaze before moving it to the old couple with a little curiosit
Evening"How are you feeling after sleeping?" Julia gives a glass of water in her hand."Much Better." She forwarded her hand to grab it and drink from it."Good, so, now tell me." Julia crossed her arms."Tell what?" Rebecca put the glass on the small table and looked at her with doubt."Whatever that old owner and his wife told you. I saw your red eyes when you tried to repent your words." Julia's tone was serious.Rebecca looked at her and sighed helplessly. She thought she would first think about what she wanted and then tell her about the conversation. But now she needs to ex
At Night"Rebecca, I saw Edwin's car standing outside our building.""I think he comes to check on you." Julia got a big smile on her face as soon as she reported this news to Rebecca coming to her room.Hearing the news of Edwin coming down from Julia. She immediately removed the blanket on herself and got out of bed to check on him from the big window area.She walked toward the window direction while Julia with a delighted face followed her.When she arrived there, she looked down to see his car and soon she found it down there. She tried to see if he was inside but from her direction, she couldn't say exactly.
“Rebecca, I don’t want to leave.” Edwin holds Rebecca’s hand as he is standing in front of his car with the driver, ready to go to the neighbouring city for his urgent meeting and to see the land where he will build the new biggest mall ever. He needs to land a deal. “Edwin, I’m fine. You should just concentrate on your work.” She softly smiled. As she understands his stress and nervousness. “But what If you need me or you have pain?” His expression was serious which made Rebecca sigh helplessly. “Edwin, There are still two weeks left for my delivery and you are going for only three days. Nothing is going to happen and don’t forget mom and dad are here with me for 24 hours. Even today Julia and Dad are also coming because of the weekend.” She tried to show him, she is good and surrounded by many people and that nothing could go wrong. “But still I…” Before Edwin could say anything, his mother and dad who were standing beside them finally opened their mouths. “Edwin, Rebecca i
Two months Later,“Mom, where is Edwin, I can not see him anywhere.” Rebecca comes out from her bedroom to ask Mrs Hutson.“Dear, why did you come here, you can ring the bell which is placed beside your bed. It’s not good to walk for too long. You should be tired now, let’s sit on the couch.” Rebecca who was now used to Mrs Hutson’s motherly protective manner only could smile and agreed with her to sit, “Sorry, Mom to make you concerned but I did not find Edwin when I awake from my afternoon sleep, I thought, he is today free and will not go to the office.”Mrs Hutson warmly smiled, “Rebecca, you are right, he is still in the house and not leaving you.” “Then where is he?” Rebecca blinked.Mrs Hutson's expression turned excited as she mischievously smiled and suggested, “Why don’t you look around the kitchen? I think you demanded something from him before your sleep.” There was a big playful smile playing on her lips when she mentioned that.Rebecca's face was surprised, “Mom, I wish
With time, Rebecca adjusted to Hutson Mansion while her father and Julia come as promised every weekend to meet her and do dinner together. Just like every day, Edwin takes Rebecca on a walk and then he stays with her until she falls asleep. But at the midnight, he heard a knock at his door. He frowned and a half awaken open the door, only to realise Rebecca was standing in front of him. “Rebecca, what happened? Why are you awake in the middle night? Do you feel unwell anyway?” He held her hand and asked worriedly. He checks on her belly to see If she feels anyhow pain or anything.However, Rebecca shook her head at his words, “It’s not the case, Edwin.”He felt confused and tried to guess, “Then If you need anything? Or any chance, you can not fall asleep?”Hearing his words, Rebecca bit her lower lips lightly with awkwardness and at last, she held his shirt corner and said embarrassedly looking at the ground, “Edwin…” Her action made him concerned and he touch her shoulders.“Wha
Doctor Clinic“Doctor, how is the baby?” Edwin asked the doctor while Rebecca just joined him after the checkup.“The baby is healthy.” The doctor’s words made both of them smile.“However, the baby’s position is not right for now.” Hearing that Rebecca worriedly asked while Edwin’s expression also turned tense.“Doctor, what do you mean by position?” The doctor looked at their tense expression and immediately explained. “I mean to say, I think normal delivery is not possible in your case. We need to do a C-Section.”“What?” Edwin's forehead knitted.However, Rebecca breathed in relief, “I’m ready for anything. I just need my baby to be safe.” Doctor smiled lightly, “You are brave, Ms Rebecca.” Edwin's concerned eyes turned tender, as he held her hand the next moment, “Are you sure? It’s a big surgery.” Rebecca could sense his worry and smiled warmly, “Edwin, I am always ready for C- Section. Anyway, normal delivery is not possible. So, don’t worry.” Her words made him realise,
Two Months Later“My godson is truly going to be healthy and big. Just look at your belly babes!” Julia excitedly said those words to Rebecca who was standing in front of the mirror to see her big belly growing faster with every single day passed and now she can feel the baby moving inside her.“I think the same, Julia.” Rebecca blushed with happiness as she looked at herself and her baby bump with tender and motherly love carrying in her eyes.“You are soon going to enter the seventh month of pregnancy. How time flies, it’s truly unpredictable.” Julia mumbled as she walked to the bed and sat while Rebecca still saw her belly in the mirror with a big smile. However, she was hearing from her friend also, so she responded with a big smile, “That’s true. I never thought I could enjoy my pregnancy this much at first but now, I can only be excited to count the following days. I’m just waiting for the day when I can finally carry my baby in my lap and pull her or his tender and chubby chee
The next morning“Dad, What are you doing here this early morning?” Rebecca was stunned to see her dad at her door. They met just last night, so she doesn't understand what made him come this early morning again. “My child, I come to take you home.” He responded with a bright smile while Rebecca walked inside and told him to get inside also. “Dad, I already told you last night, I can not go back to that house.” It's not like she doesn't want to live with her Dad. But whenever she thinks about home, she remembers her stepmother and step-siblings.Hearing his daughter's words, Mr Wilson walked to her and touched her head, “My child, I know why you are saying that. But I also came to inform you that I made those bullies leave that house and decided to take a divorce.” Rebecca’s eyes winded, “What?” “Yes, dear, I can not stay with those people who behave like monsters in people's skin.” Rebecca could not believe her dad made taken such a big decision and felt guilty that finally what
Late at night, Rebecca phoned Edward and thanked him for making so many efforts for her and her dad.“Thank you, Edward. You don’t know what I got today.” Rebecca softly mumbled while on another side of the phone, Edwin smiled and responded, “I know, Rebecca, how much you always missed your dad. I can see through you when you talk to my parents every time. I can see there is loneliness which can only be filled by your father.”Rebecca’s lips curled up with a warm expression, as she never thought Edwin noticed that. Yes, that’s true. Whenever she watched Edwin’s parents, she remembered her dad. “I’ll never forget what you did for me, Edwin.” Her gentle tone, which was filled with love, made his heart skip a bit. “This is nothing. I can even give my soul to protect you and our baby.” Rebecca is a little taken aback by his words. Edwin could guess how her expression should be right now and could not help but smile from corner to corner. He will do everything to give her happiness. T
“Dad, You dId not tell me. If you are not in the city, how did you get to know all this true?” Rebecca could not help but ask at last to her Dad. “Dear, It’s all happened thanks to Mr Edwin.” Her Dad smiled in response.“Edwin?” Her eyes filled with surprise. She is truly confused now. How could he know her Dad? How does her Dad know him? Did they know each other before?“Dad… How did you know Edwin?” Her dad's corner lips raised as he responded, “I don’t know him personally If I tell you the truth. But I know he is a tycoon businessman.”“Then how did you meet him or did he meet you?” “He called me personally a few days ago and told me, " If I want to know about my daughter’s whereabouts, he can help me as he knows where you are living.”Rebecca completely paused as she could not believe, he is the one because of him, she met her Dad today.“As soon as he took your name, I just flew back and met him in his office. He told me, "Who is he and what is your relationship with him?”Reb
“I am sorry that I could not keep you safe in your own house. You had to endure so many hardships and face them alone, even though I was there. I know it will not be easy for you to trust me now, but can you give your father another chance again?”“It is my fault that I gave my family a chance to misbehave with you. If I had stopped them many years ago from bullying you, then today you would not have to see this day and honestly, I am very ashamed to be called dad.” Mr Wilson’s tears fell from his eyes which he wiped out and looked at his daughter with a guilty face.Seeing him crying, her eyes also filled with tears and she said in a low voice, “Father, I have forgotten the old things and I have never even given you blame for that, but it definitely pained me that when you didn’t even think for a moment to separate me from yourself even after you came to know the truth and said that from onwards you and I have no relation. Was it so easy for you to break up with me? I just want to qu
