Chapter 29 - Pregnant

Three days in the hospital was driving her insane. Why wasn't she dead? She read the side effects and how the medicine works quickly. Aaron hasn't even asked her how she got the medicine, he was acting all cool and strange these days. Mina tilted her head to the door when she heard the squeaky sound. A red-haired nurse in her middle forties walked in with a tray in her hand.

" Good morning Mrs Vertercio." the nurse greeted her enthusiastically.

Mina rolled her eyes at her, she didn't know how Aaron's name was attached to her first name.

" Why am I still here, Sarah," Mina asked

Sarah placed the tray beside her and gave her a light smile, which she always gave when she asked that question.

" Are you hiding something from me, Sarah?" Mina asked with a stern look.

"No!" Sarah looked away suspiciously.

Mina sat on the bed comfortably, she was just joking but Sarah's reaction was said otherwise.

Sarah turned her heels towards the door but Mina acted fast and held her wrist;

" What is going on Sarah, you aren't acting like this two days ago," Mina said, she tightened her grip around her wrist but not too hard to hurt her.

The adrenaline of being caught rushed across her body, she couldn't let Mina find out or else Mr Vertercio was going to eliminate her from both her job and life.

" I-I"

" Let her go, princess," Aaron said firmly.

Both Mina and Sarah looked up to meet the gaze of Aaron, who was leaning against the doorframe with folded arms.

Mina scoffed while rolling her eyes;

" What are you people hiding from me? "

" Let her go and I will tell you, princess," Aaron said in a soft tone, his eyes held other emotions, a conflicting one.

Mina released her hand from Sarah gently, she gave her an apologetic look which Sarah replied with a nod.

The door shut behind Aaron, he cleared his throat as he walked towards Mina. She had to know the truth.

He sat beside the bed with his hand clenched into a fist. Aaron took in a deep breath before looking at Mina, his gaze held so many emotions but one emotion Mina could detect was fear. What was he afraid of?

" Are you going to tell me what is going on?" Mina asked trying to mask her shaky voice.

Aaron chuckled;

"I'm doing well, thanks for asking." Aaron joked.

" Aaron it's not a joke, what is going on here? Everyone is acting wired around me and my diet just changed out of the blue." Mina said angrily.

" Calm down princess," he said strictly

Mina rolled her eyes at him.

" Roll those eyes of yours again and I will make you forget we are in the hospital."

Mina blushed at the statement, shameless.

She flinched when Aaron held her hand which was on her lap.

" You wanted to know what we are hiding from you?"

Mina nodded.

" Promise me you won't freak out princess and you will understand where I'm coming from."
