Semua Bab Forbidden Heat: Bab 201 - Bab 210

I woke up the next morning with a headache and I felt weak and sick all throughout the day at work. After around three days of this, I knew that something was wrong. I tried my best to hide my condition from Reiner and tried to handle it on my own. I sighed loudly as I stared at my computer screen, although my mind was elsewhere. I knew what the symptoms of what I had looked like, but I shouldn’t jump to conclusions. I waited for lunch break to start before heading alone to a nearby pharmacy. The old lady at the counter looked at me dubiously before scanning the barcode and asking for payment. I handed her some cash and told her to keep the change before heading out in a hurry. I felt her eyes on my back and wished that she would just mind her own business. All afternoon, I couldn’t focus on work at all. It was pure luck that things have died down a little bit at work and there was nothing major due the following day. Reiner picked

“…Sure. Thank you, R” I thanked him softly as I climbed on to his back. This really was the exact repetition of what happened the last time we were here. Reiner carried me on his back into the forest; however, this time I had the courage to keep my eyes opened. The forest was quite dark, and the main source of light was the flashlight that Reiner held. This time the walk felt shorter than the last and it felt like we arrived at the grassy clearing at the edge of the forest in no time. “Wow. The stars look just as beautiful as the last time we were here. Remember?” I asked as I pointed to the starry sky above us. Reiner also looked up at the starry sky as he nodded in agreement. It was a magical moment as we stood there side by side just gazing at the stars in the silence. The road below was empty and only rarely did a car pass by. The strong gust of wind blew by causing me to shiver even though it was

Deep down, I believed that I already knew the answer. Reiner was gone and he wasn’t coming back. It would be a miracle if I ever got to see him again. “Umm…is my baby…safe?” I asked hesitantly. I wasn’t sure if they knew that I was pregnant. “Yes, of course. Congratulations Miss!” the nurse replied cheerfully. “…Thank you,” I said with relief. Reiner was gone but our baby is still with me. I guess that was more than I could ever ask for. “All done. I must leave now. Good luck, Miss!” the nurse said with a bright smile as she opened the door and walked out of the room. At the same moment, Edward returned to the room. I wonder what the doctors told him about my condition. Hopefully they did not disclose to Edward that I was pregnant. It’s not that I didn’t want him to know but I wanted him to hear it first from me an

Work at the office was busy as always and Lucien barely had time to eat or rest during the day. He attended meetings after meetings and then more meetings until it was late into the evening. The time to meet Edward was fast approaching and he felt horrible. His fever and headache had gotten worst.Although he tried his best to hide it, his wonderful colleague and wife figured it out in no time. “Lucien, you’re sweating so much, and you look so pale. It’s like you can faint any moment now. What about I get one of the drivers to drive you home?” Rosia suggested with concern as her eyebrows furrowed with worry. “That won’t be necessary. You head home first before me. I have something to do…” Lucien said as he tried to fight off his headache. The fever had not subsided, and his headache was fast turning into a full-fledged migraine. Lucien massaged his temple as his vision started to blur.&nbs

When we arrived at my office building, Edward parked at the same spot to send me off to work. This had become our new routine and oddly I found it very comforting to know that at the end of a tiring workday, I will surely find Edward here waiting for me. “I’ll pick you up when you get off work. Have a good day and don’t work too hard,” Edward said before taking my hand and kissing the back of it lovingly. I couldn’t help blushing at this romantic gesture although Edward and I have gone way beyond this together. Come to think of it, Edward hadn’t made a move on me since I got out of the hospital. I hadn’t realized it because I was too focused on my pregnancy and then my work. I wondered if anything went wrong between us. I frowned a little in worry as my mind started to think of bad and then worst scenarios…“Thank you. I’ll see you later,” I replied, trying to sound casua
