FAZER LOGINCHAPTER 240JAREDSterly and his family went out to change their clothes... which I knew was a lie. I could tell Sterly wanted to give my friends and me some space to talk. I watched as they closed the door and I shook my head. I really needed to know that there was no way he could lie to me. He wasn't good at it, and moreover, I knew him more than he could have imagined. How could his thoughts escape my eagle eyes?But I didn't need to tell him that because, truthfully, I needed time with my friends. After the door closed, Stephen ran over and sat beside my bed. He looked at my face silently for a few seconds. My heart skipped a beat. I could tell something terrible was about to happen. As expected, Stephen's lips parted, and loud cries escaped his throat. Stephen glared at me as he cried like a child. "You scared me. You scared me so much." "I really thought I was about to lose you." My lips pursed as my eyes also reddened. "But you ran after me. Even if I died, we wo
JAREDMy eyes settled on Sterly, and my heart ached when I saw the dark circles under his eyes. I reached out, slowly rubbing his face as tears formed in my eyes. Sterly must have been really scared. Everyone was quiet, and I could feel their eyes on me. They seemed to want to give Sterly and me some space. A smile appeared on my lips despite the lingering fear in my heart. "How long have I been asleep?" My voice was hoarse, and every word was painful. Even though I could hear their words most of the time, I was unable to count the days. It only felt like a very long time had passed, but every day was shrouded in darkness for me. It was impossible to calculate the passage of time. "A week," Sterly replied. My heart skipped a beat. Had I been sleeping for a whole week?How did that happen? "Then, what about my baby?" My voice broke as I asked. The fear in my eyes was palpable. The doctor had talked about my child when I was asleep, but I wasn't able to hear what he sai
JAREDI didn't look away. I was scared that Shawn might disappear if I did. I watched patiently as Shawn slowly approached, and soon he was standing in front of me.Sterly also let me down. I slowly reached out and touched Shawn's cheek. His skin felt a little hot, probably because of the fire. Our eyes met, and the tears in his eyes fell faster. My thumb brushed the corner of his eye, wiping his tears away while I stared at him without saying a word. "Jared," He called, almost choking on his tears. "I'm fine. I'm here with you." He mumbled. My eyes slowly regained focus, and my lips parted. "Shawn, are you really here?" I asked in a low voice. Shawn pressed my hand against his cheek and nodded. "I'm here, Jared.""Hm," I mumbled, and my eyes rolled. My vision darkened as waves of pain hit me, straight from my belly. I lowered my eyes, trying to look at my belly, but things were already too blurry. My strength left me as I slumped into Shawn's embrace. "Jared!""No, Jare
JAREDI stopped the car and got out. My legs were shaking, and my entire body was drenched in sweat as I walked toward where the accident occurred. The front of the two cars was entirely broken, and smoke filled the air. My ears rang, and the feeling was unbearable. "Jared!""Jared, please stop!" Cindy's and Stephen's voices entered my ears. When I turned around, I saw the two of them running after me, as if trying to stop me. I shook my head. My fingers held my belly as I hurried toward the cars. "Shawn, I have to save Shawn.""He's in there alone.""I need to save him." I mumbled mindlessly as I tried to reach the car faster. The smoke was getting thicker, and sharp cracking sounds could be heard. It seemed like the cars were about to catch fire. Everything happened too fast. I spent all my energy trying to run as fast as I could, but it seemed that time was working against me intentionally. No matter how hard I ran, getting to the car seemed impossible. Then, what
JAREDThe doctor did some tests after I explained the symptoms to him. He also checked on the fetus's health, and after a few hours of waiting, he returned with the test report. "The pregnancy is fine with no sign of complications." He reported. A relieved sigh immediately escaped my lips. But then, "Why do I keep feeling pain at times?" It shouldn't be like this. Even Stephen told me he didn't feel this way during his pregnancy. The doctor pushed up his glasses and took his seat. "That's because of pheromone disorder.""Your pheromones' fluctuations affect the health of the baby, and when the wave is too high, it causes pain in the womb area."He placed the report before me, and I picked it up to check. My lips tightened when I saw the ratio of my pheromone. It was really too high. "I'd advise you to stop being too emotional and try to relax your mood more.""It will benefit the baby." The doctor explained. I nodded, sighing deeply. He was right. The past few hours had r
JAREDI stared at Shawn, unable to look away. My emotions were tangled and heavy. Cindy's pheromone wafted into my nose, and only then did I take my eyes off Shawn. Turning around, I saw Stephen and Cindy approaching. Stephen looked calm. The earlier subtle anger in his eyes was nowhere to be found, but after knowing him for so many years, I knew he was anything but calm at the moment. Stephen stepped closer and sat beside me. He nodded as a greeting to Shawn, who also did the same. "Hi, Shawn." Cindy greeted with a smile. "Hm. Good morning, Cindy." Shawn also returned a smile. Seeing the casual attitude of the two, I felt a little envious. Why couldn't the relationship between Shawn and me return to normal, too?Or was I the one overthinking everything?The thought of losing Shawn as a friend wasn't a pleasant feeling. I sighed wearily and opened my laptop, too, ready to prepare for the upcoming classes. The class soon went quiet as the professor walked in. We submitted
