A tight grasp fell on her arm. Her hand shook and her leg trembled. Everything was blurred. Her eyes blinked and she forced herself to keep her eyes open. Her migraine was taking her over. She supported herself and looked beside her, it was Edger. His burning eyes represented his anger, his veins sticking out. He hissed, "Wh-at d-o yo-u thi-nk…?"
She couldn't grasp the whole sentence but she knew he was there to reprimand her. I
She slowly replied, "I am sorry… let's talk a bit later…" it was known to her that he wouldn't leave her alone but she could only depend on her luck.
"Ta-lk…?" He growled, her hand was all red and blood was dripping out.
She shivered and trembled. He hissed and growled.
"Dad…" Her boy was saying something but she had no more strength. She could see her surroundings circling, getting blurred and puzzled. The last thing she saw was black, all dark. She could hear murmurs of growling but she had no more energy to open her eyes and stop them.
"Miss… Congratulations…"
She woke up to see the white-dressed and long-bearded Doctor beside her. She was quite taken aback by the congratulations when she saw her imposing mother-in-law beside her, cleaning her arms up. It was a frightening thing. She quickly sat up, "Mother… Nice to see you here, I can take care of myself…" She politely snatched the towel from her mother but it was taken by her mother again and she gently pressed on Shea's shoulders and made her rest on the bed.
"You should take care now, okay? Don't run around… it's not good for your health." She couldn't grasp what was going on when she saw Edger coming inside with a bowl. She was more than surprised now.
"Here, drink it!" She took over the bowl but a thud broke down the peaceful atmosphere when her mother-in-law pushed the bowl off.
"Are you crazy?!" Edgar's mother growled at him and gave him a tight slap. Shea quickly stood up, she didn't want any commotion to break out.
"You are giving her abortion medicine for god's sake! Are you even behaving like a father???"
Shea speechlessly stood in the corner. She lost her grip, She didn't know what was going on anymore. It wasn't something to congratulate her for.
"Mom… you don't know…"
"I know! I understand the political struggles but being a father doesn't mean sacrificing your children for political stability! I am finally going to be a Grandma!"
Shea's hands went down her belly, she had no wish to give her child up but she also didn't want her son, Chris to misunderstand anything. She was in the middle of the bridge, she couldn't figure out what to do.
"Shea will be living with me until the baby is one year old! You can visit whenever you wish to, only if you visit as a father, not as a devil to kill his own son!" Shea was startled, it was not only her but Edgar too. There was no one left to know how much Lena, the former Luna, loves her son! Shea was feeling guilty but being selfish as she is, being a mother, She stood silent behind her mother-in-law.
"Mom… Chris is your Grandson too… He loves you a lot…" Edgar said, sadly and defeated.
"I don't know about that! Don't bring him up!"
"Shea, Are you going to stay Silent?"
Edgar, not having any other option, had to rely on Shea but little did he know, Shea would protest it too.
Shea looked down and asked her mother-in-law for a private chat. She wasn't willing but she reluctantly had to agree and left.
"Shea… We can't have the baby. You know, how many disturbances it would follow. Please, don't you love Chris? He is our son, our only son! He loves you so much."
There was no utter cry of joy or any sadness on his face. It wasn't a father sitting beside Shea but a devil. I
She thought she understood him a bit, no matter how the rumors followed, but she was wrong.
"Edgar… We are parents… I of course love Chris but I can't kill the life growing inside me. Aren't you the child's father too? Are you only the father of Chris, not my baby?"
He looked down and squatted in front of me.
"I am the child's father too but I…"
"You mean, you can't take my child's responsibility, right?" Shea was desperate, she wished him to reassure her.
"The people…"
She snickered with tears, "When did the famous Tyrant begin to fear others?"
Shea never rebelled but she couldn't hold on anymore. With the news of her child, she wasn't congratulated but rather she got an abortion notice from the father of her baby? She was disappointed and disgusted.
"I am not only the Child's father but also…"
"You are wrong, Mr. Edgar! You were never my Child's father!"
Her voice was cold and cracked. Her tears wanted to flood but she did her best to hold them off.
"Shea… listen to me, okay? We can have another child later. Please wait till I solve the problem, okay? Until everyone accepts Chris as the next Alpha?"
She didn't have any other words to say, her tears finally couldn't hold on anymore. He kept rubbing her tears but as disgusted as she is now with him, she slapped his hands away cruelly.
"There is no need to say anymore…"
"You accept…?"
"No, I don't!" He sure was shocked by this.
"I am beginning to think that, you were the reason for my miscarriage!" She spoke with anger and frustration.
No words came… he was all silent…
"Seriously? Were you really the reason?" All the emotions she had attached to him were breaking down. She couldn't see him as a serious and calm husband anymore, he only looked like a Devil Tyrant to her now.
"Shea…"
"I don't want to listen to you anymore! Please get out! Get out of here!" She broke down, trying to push him outside.
"Shea… think about Chris!"
"Chris Chris Chris! I am not only his mother, Edgar! Say, is he not your illegitimate son?" It was a wrong thing to ask but how could she hold herself back after this. Nor did he tolerate it, he didn't have any tolerance. Shea didn't cry with his slap since he had already broken her more than that.
