"Good girl," he petted her head as he let her stand on the floor. Jacques, looking at the floor, unable to lift her head as she was in so much pain, knew there is not a lot of time left.As much as she despised and resented him for everything he did, she knew he is the only one she could ask for help now."Please," she held on to his shirt. He was six and a half feet tall while she was a feet shorter than him. She didn't even have the energy to look at his face and only saw his broad chest. He wasn't wearing one of his usual plaid shirts, but a pure white dress shirt this time. "Take me to the hospital."The voice from above her felt dry to her and she shivered as she felt that rough hand patting her torso.In reality, his hands were on her just for seconds, but for her it felt like eons. She wanted to scream as she despised that touch more than anything, but she is left with no other chance than to beg this ill-mannered monster.To beg the person she hated with every fibre of her bei

The entire room felt like a storm has passed. Nurse Daisy wiped her sweat in a towel and properly tucked in Jacques. "Poor thing," she mumbled fixing the IV drip. "She must have loved that baby... She could feel she has lost it without the need for us to tell her.""Daisy!" Dr. Kruger admonished her for speaking too much, but the harshness was reeled back with a trace of familiarity and affection. After all, in this little clinic, everyone is considered family."I know, Doctor. You're mad she called your son a monster. I wonder why he has nothing to say either when his baby-""Daisy!" Dr. Kruger pursed her lips, folding her hands on her chest and Daisy sighed."Fine, I'll stop speaking. She reminds me of my daughter, that's all.""Every girl reminds you of your daughter!" Dr. Kruger shook her head with a smile. "Inform me when she wakes up. If she is hysteric still, we'll have to look for psychiatric consultation.""Since there are no other patients here, I'll stay with her," Daisy pu

Jacques tried to squeeze out a smile, but her eyes burnt and she stopped trying to smile."I'm fine, doctor." She looked at Dr. Kruger. "I want to leave. I can pay the bills-""This is a charity hospital, Jacques. You don't have to pay the bills. And you're not well enough to be discharged. I'm not advising you to leave now. " Dr. Kruger said as she scribbled something on her notepad."And, you know how the streets here are like at night, dear," Daisy added in a very caring tone.Yes, the streets would be dangerous. I would rather take my chance there than being trapped here."My baby?" Jacques wanted to get her baby and find a way to leave."We can provide you options on what to do with-""Give me my baby!" Jacques interjected Dr. Kruger and raised her voice.Are they seriously holding my dead baby as a hostage for keeping me here?"I will keep your baby boy safe and comfortable until you become well enough to get discharged. Do you want to take a look at your baby?" Dr. Kruger asked

"You can tell me if you want to meet them." Daisy spoke in a soft voice. "They said they'll wait for you.""Sure," Jacques said with a slight smile. Although Daisy refused to help her with filing a complaint, she found Daisy's presence very comforting. She had such a soothing voice and gentle hands."I'm sorry... I think I need to change..." Jacques said hesitantly. She tried to sit up but she felt the room spinning and she gripped the sheet."You have pretty severe bleeding, your blood Hb has dropped to 8.4. It is good that you decided to stay here another day. We need to improve your haemoglobin count." Daisy spoke as she helped Jacques.Maybe because she is a nurse, she had a nice aura around her and she seemed like a kind person.But Jacques didn't want to drop her guard with anyone related to that monster. And she didn't even want to think of meeting Gerard when he is with Emma.Why did he even visit? He didn't even bother to stop the car yesterday and why is he here now? Did Emm

Jeremy was pretty happy as he walked through the hallways. He was planning on what to cook next for her.I saw the pumpkins in Martha's garden read to be picked... So maybe that pumpkin pie pudding?He was so happy, he wanted to go home to learn the recipe and give it a try before cooking for her.At that time, his phone rang with a notification.{Emma Cooper posted a picture...}The notification read and he immediately clicked the notification. Emma had posted a picture.Emma was with a bright smile sitting beside Gerard in the first class of a plane.They waited for almost an hour for Jacques to wake up but then since they had a flight to catch, they left.It's better this way.He looked at the post once more. There were some hashtags above the picture which he ignored as always. Although a millennial, he didn't like these social networking sites. He's only in Facebook upon Emma's insistence.Seeing Emma's bright smile, his lips curved up too. But seeing the man sitting beside her,
