Chapter 10

I rubbed my stomach. I try not to stress because it will affect my pregnancy. Yes, I should be grateful for the pregnancy I've been waiting for, but I didn't think this would complicate things even further. It's a lie if I say I'm fine. The problem is I don't know the father of my baby. Harvey? Or Sean?

"Angel?"

I found a woman who 3 days ago I was worried about childbirth. Renata. The nurse handed Renata over to me who was sitting in the garden area of the hospital.

"Hey, Renata. How are you and your baby?" I said, glad to finally have someone I can talk to.

"We're fine, thank you," replied Renata. "Thank you for praying for us and being there when no one else is around. I appreciate that."

"I didn't do anything. I just waited, then fell asleep."

We laughed together.

My memories returned to Sean. Sean and I waited for Renata for 5 hours, and to be honest Sean was the one who helped a lot. Apart from waiting for Renata, Sean also comforted me when I was about to give up on not having a baby. Today my wish has come true, but unfortunately that is also what keeps Sean and me away from each other.

"Hey what's wrong?" Renata's question made me shake my head. "You're crying, Angel. If you don't mind, you can tell me."

"Is this a pregnant woman's hormone? I get emotional easily."

"Jeez, are you pregnant? I'm happy too!" Renata's spirit was really comforting. "It's okay, Angel. When I was pregnant I often cried for no reason. I had imagined that my life would be more difficult because I was a single parent and I had no one. But after hearing Yasmin's cry for the first time, it turned out that my opinion was wrong. Yasmin gave me strength. "

"You are a wonderful woman, Renata." I praise her.

"No, I don't. Yasmin is amazing because I was able to survive to this day." It hypnotized me how she kept cheering me on. If Renata can get through this hardship, then I can. I have Harvey which is my happiness. "Is this your and Sean's first child?"

"Yes, I'm nervous." My smile suddenly faded. Wait, looks like something's wrong with this conversation. "Sean? How do you know him?"

Renata looked confused at my reaction. "This morning a man came to my room. He told me about you guys waiting for me to give birth. Sean is your husband, right?"

From the start I should have realized that this was odd. Renata knows my name, and she also knows about me waiting outside the operating room. Even though we have never met before. Now it all made sense.

When I turned around, I found a man standing in front of the hospital garden door. Our eyes met. After yesterday I hurt him, he's still here to watch over me. I bit my lip while pretending I didn't see Sean. Before that happened, Sean did it first. The girl named Jessie was beside him, and they were kissing.

Suki watched me eat lunch for the last 10 minutes. My gaze alternated between her face and the bowl of corn soup from the table placed on the bed. Half an hour ago, I contacted Suki. Of course, I did after Sean returned my phone via Renata. Sean doesn't seem like he's going to bother me anymore, and I'm grateful.

"It's not like you." Muttered Suki. Her face looked closer to me. "Yes, you are not Angel Ludwig."

I chuckled. "I'm still the same person. I'm your best friend Angel who likes to write novels."

"You are pregnant, Angel. You have been looking forward to this pregnancy since you two got married. But your reaction shows that you are hospitalized with a headache."

"Then what should I do? Jumping on the bed?" I'm annoyed without being able to prevent it.

Suki squeezed my shoulder. "You're hiding something from me, right?"

"Nothing, Suki." I answered quickly while playing with the spoon. Hope she doesn't suspect anything, including about Sean.

"Do you know why I asked that?" Said Suki and I pretended to be deaf. "I'm sorry I said this, Angel. You don't look happy at all."

Suki's words offended me. How could I be unhappy when I was going to be a mother? I am pleased! It's just that it's not a dominating feeling. There is a sadness that is difficult for me to express.

It didn't take long for Suki to hug me. In the past she used to warn me to stay away from Sean. Unfortunately, I was always so enamored with Sean's charm that it made me miserable.

"You will be a good mother, Angel. I'm sure. You just need to go through things as usual."

Suki probably saw my change as my fear of becoming a mother. I hugged her back and this always makes me peaceful.

"I know. What makes you sad? Isn't Harvey ready?"

"I'm pregnant, Suki," I repeated. "I don't know my baby's father."

"What are you talking about?" She let go of our arms, and searched my eyes for lies. "You're a bad liar. Of course Harvey. You can't be pregnant by another man. Wait ... Sean." Then Suki fell silent, realizing that the worst could happen. Sean took me away from Suki's party one year ago which Suki thought wasn't normal. "No. Your pregnancy has nothing to do with Sean. You've even hated each other since college."

"Sean and I betrayed Harvey. We had an affair." Suki didn't look surprised, but was silent. Did Suki already know about my affair with Sean? "But now we're done. We don't see each other anymore."

Suki is a victim from the past. Suki's father cheated on her mother when she was a child. Suki and her mother lived in chaos for a long time. She really hates cheating.

"I've always admired you, but this time I'm disappointed. Don't ever call me again."
