Chapter 72: RestSelene tied off the last bandage with precision that belied the chaos inside her. Her hands were steady, but her mind was a storm. She glanced at Alaric's face one last time which was still pale but peaceful now in unconsciousness. A part of her wanted to stay and to keep watch over him, but the memories threatened to overwhelm her that pushed her to leave.Without a word, she rose abruptly and walked out of the room. Noah called after her, but she didn't stop, couldn't stop. She moved down the narrow hallway, through the kitchen, and straight to the sink.She turned the faucet open and plunged her hands under the stream of cold water. The blood swirled down the drain, red against the metal basin. She scrubbed at her fingers harder than necessary, as if trying to wash away not just the blood but the memories that clung to her like a second skin.Her mind betrayed her, pulling her back to another time, another world. She could see it clearly: Alaric, battered and bruis

Chapter 74: Too EarlyThe house was a storm of chaos as Alaric burst through the door. Selene was already limp in his arms with her blood staining both of them. "Help her!" he roared, his voice filled with desperation.Mrs. Callaghan, who had been folding laundry, dropped everything at the sight of them. "Oh, Lord have mercy!" she gasped, rushing forward to take charge.Noah who was startled by the commotion, appeared from the kitchen with eyes wide in panic seeing Selene unconscious. "What happened?!""She's bleeding!" Alaric shouted as he staggered toward the nearest couch, gently laying Selene down. "Do something! Someone, help her!""We need to get her to the hospital," Mrs. Callaghan said firmly. "She needs proper care, and we can't wait!""No!" Alaric's voice rang with panic as he snapped his head toward her. "The roads are blocked! It'll take hours to even clear a path, let alone get to my car. We don't have time for that!"Mrs. Callaghan faltered, realizing the truth in his wo

Chapter 76: Rockabye BabySelene's eyes flew open, and she gasped for air. Her chest heaved as though she’d been drowning and had just broken through the surface. Pain surged through her lower body, sharp and unrelenting, pulling a scream from the depths of her soul.“AHHHH!”Her scream echoed through the room, raw and piercing.“Selene!” Alaric’s voice cracked as he pushed himself closer to her side, relief and terror flooding him at once. He had been whispering to her, begging her to come back to him, and now she was awake—but the agony in her expression filled him with dread.Mrs. Weaver, who had been meticulously arranging her tools moments earlier, allowed herself a brief sigh of relief when Selene stirred awake. But the fragile calm in the room was shattered by Selene’s anguished cry.“Please… save my baby girl… please!” Selene sobbed, her voice raw with desperation and panic. Her trembling hands clung to the bedsheets as if they were the only anchor in her storm of fear. Tears

Chapter 78: Unbearable Pain"Selene? Dear? Wake up." Mrs. Weaver's voice trembled with nervousness, cutting through the haze of relief that had only just settled moments before.Alaric who was just a few steps away from the room, froze. The words he heard sank into his mind like ice. Then, like a man possessed, he whirled around with his fear propelling him back into the room. In one swift motion, he handed the newborn to Mrs. Weaver as his trembling hands betrayed his panic."Take her!" His voice cracked out of desperation.His focus tunneled in on Selene. Her still, pale figure was a vision he couldn't bear to accept. He instantly dropped to his knees beside her while his hands reached out, trembling as they cupped her face. "Selene," he whispered, his voice breaking. "Stay with me, my love. Please."When she didn't respond, his breath hitched. His panic quickly rose like a tidal wave. Without hesitation, he slipped his arms beneath her, carefully but urgently pulling her limp body

Chapter 80: MistakeSelene's eyelids fluttered open. Her gaze was unfocused as the sterile white ceiling of the hospital room swam into view. Her body felt heavy with every muscle weighed down by exhaustion, and a dull ache spread across her abdomen. She blinked a few times, trying to make sense of her surroundings.Then, she sees a doctor standing at her bedside, meticulously checking her vitals. A nurse was beside him, recording notes on a clipboard and adjusting the IV drip connected to her arm. She was still in a daze, almost forgetting what exactly had happened to her."Mrs. Clarke," the doctor said gently, noticing her eyes opening. "You're awake. That's a good sign. Can you hear me?"Selene's lips parted, but her voice came out in a barely audible rasp. "Where... where am I?""You're in the hospital," the doctor replied calmly, leaning in slightly. "You've been through quite an ordeal. We're monitoring your recovery, but you're stable now. Don't try to move too much just yet."
