All Chapters of A Touch of Madness: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

The room felt cold despite the thick cardigan draped over my shoulders. As doctor Allysa applied cold gel to my stomach, I tried to take a deep breath, trying to remain calm. But I couldn't avoid the feeling of anxiety—there was always a fear that haunted me every time I underwent this examination. My hand gripped Sebastian's fingers. His presence was so calming beside me, even though his eyes were glued to the screen of the ultrasound machine. I could sense his anxiety even though he didn't say anything. His grip was warm, yet there was a subtle pressure there, like he was fighting a storm within himself too. I knew he didn't want me to see his worry, but I can see it clearly. The screen in front of me flickered, displaying a faint black-and-white image that looked like another world. My heart beats faster at the sight of those tiny movements—our babies. They looked active, moving around in my womb as if they were performing a little dance in their world. My eyes suddenly felt war

I sat at the end of Ace's bed, my fingers playing with the edge of his blanket, while my eyes kept looking at his peaceful little face in sleep. Only the soft sighs of his breathing filled the room's silence, but my mind was far from calm. Every time I tried to calm myself, the reality of what was happening hit me again. Sebastian had been watching Killian for a long time, and now Killian knew.That's why he ran away.That thought swirled around in my mind, making the anxiety that had been faint now feel more real, taking over every part of my body. I tried to distract myself, looking at the clock on the wall that kept ticking slowly. It was already past midnight, but Sebastian hadn't come home yet. Though usually an easy sleeper, Ace refused to close his eyes tonight without his Poppa. I had to tell him a long story about five fairy tales, distracting him from the fact that his father wasn't here tonight.I tucked Ace's soft hair that had fallen onto his forehead, my breathing heavy

"I'm sorry," Sebastian said. "I just don't want to make you hurt again."I closed my eyes, scrolling through the memories, whatever was missing from my head. But then a violent throb hit the back of my head, a small pulse that turned strong. I closed my eyes tighter, trying to dig deeper into the depths of my mind. But what came instead was a throbbing pain that slowly grew, pulsing like a wave hitting from within, getting louder. The pain began to spread, gripping the back of my head until my eyes throbbed. My breathing stopped for a moment, my vision began to blur, and the sounds in the room sounded like a fading, distant, hollow echo.Suddenly, I felt Sebastian's hand grasp my shoulder, his grip tight and warm, like an anchor trying to keep me standing amidst the storm in my head. "Isa?" his voice sounds strained, sharper than usual. I force my eyes open, and my gaze catches a look of anxiety on his face—his normally cold blue eyes now radiate a fear I've never seen before."Br

Silence hung in the air as Sebastian's grandfather folded his arms, his eyes never leaving my face. With a small gesture, he nodded as if encouraging himself to continue the conversation that, perhaps, he had planned for so long."And... what about your son? Ace? Your father told me that he is a cheerful and smart boy." His voice was low, but his tone was unmistakable. Demanding an answer, he turned to Sebastian and to me.I let out a small sigh, trying to keep my smile genuine as I replied, "Ace is a wonderful boy. Smart, full of energy, and very curious." Talking about my son in front of someone who looked so critical felt strange, but I didn't want to show any doubt.Sebastian, who had been standing quietly beside me, shifted slightly. His arm slowly wrapped around my waist, signaling he wouldn't let me face this alone."Oh, really?" he looked at us, alternating between me and Sebastian. A faint light in his eyes showed interest, albeit with skepticism. "He must meet me one day. I

"I'll be back tomorrow morning before you wake up." Sebastian's voice sounded lazy from our connected call. "I have so many things to take care of. I promise we'll have a good time once I'm done with all this. But I feel bad leaving you alone there."I chuckled softly. "Yeah, that's okay. There's Janet here. I don't feel alone."He chuckled on the other end of the line, his low laugh almost drowned out by the slightly crackling signal. "Yeah, my cousin with her... unique personality," he continued, his voice trying to sound serious but instead sounding full of warmth. "She'll probably set your whole life in pink if you let her. Just make sure she doesn't end up redecorating our house or... suggesting weird names for our baby."I smiled, imagining Janet, who could vigorously transform the house into a sea of pink, complete with flashy accessories. It was like relentless energy ready to fill every corner of the room, chasing away any loneliness I might feel while Sebastian was away. "T
