Semua Bab CAGED IN HIS EMBRACE : Bab 41 - Bab 50

JULIANI bent over the toilet, throwing up everything I'd eaten last night. My throat felt painful, and holding my stomach, I couldn't stop gagging. Reflexive tears escaped my eyes. Xavier patted my back gently. "Sorry." He whispered as he helped brush my hair off my face. I staggered backward, only to be held by Xavier. My breathing turned ragged. My fingers wiped the stain off my mouth, but I was too exhausted to think about what to do next. Xavier held my hand, and soon, water poured on it. His warmth covered my hands as he carefully washed. After that, he carried me out of the bathroom. "I think it's the morning sickness. But to be certain, we still need to call the doctor." Xavier explained as he helped me sit on a couch in the sitting room. I nodded, still trying to steady my breathing. But something felt wrong. The morning sickness shouldn't start this early... right?It was only three weeks...But then again, maybe it was just my luck. It wasn't like my luck had ever

JULIANI had no choice but to wait helplessly as Xavier returned from the kitchen with the tea flask in hand. He handed it over to Abel, who actively received it and hugged it to his chest. Xavier walked over, his hands curled around my waist, and he planted a soft kiss on my forehead. "You should take care at the set. Don't let anyone trouble you too much." He muttered. I nodded along. Anything he said. He already gave me the ginger tea anyway. Xavier seemed to notice my mood as he gently captured my lips with his. He sucked and licked. "I will check up on you in the afternoon." He promised. A frown immediately settled on my face. "No," I mumbled. "You shouldn't come." Xavier raised a brow. "Why?" He asked. I took a step back, pressing my hands on his chest as I shook my head. "No one should know about us. Remember?" His expression changed. His softened eyes flickered, and he turned his head away. "I understand." He muttered. Seeing his reaction, my heart beat quickened. My

JULIAN I initially thought it would be difficult for me to act out the scene with the discomfort in my chest and my average acting. But I was wrong. Seeing the disgusting acting of Fred and the female lead who was crying but whose eyes showed she was enjoying it, I could barely keep my anger under control. Everything made me wonder if the actress acting as the female lead was being naive or plainly stupid. The scene could have been acted with sense. Fred didn't need to show so much of her breasts publicly if he truly loved her as she thought. He would have protected her even more. But that wasn't the case. Not only did Fred almost expose her entire breasts publicly, but he even slid his hand into her panties while she also looked like she was enjoying it. My anger blared and watching became difficult as time passed. Seeing that it was time to act, I moved, but the female lead's pleading eyes, which seemed to say I shouldn't move, made me sit back. I clenched my fingers around

JULIAN That couldn't be right. There was no way he would risk his life to save me when he hated me so much. He was a scum who would gladly watch me die without doing anything, so how could he think about saving me?I must be hallucinating. Everything I remembered was wrong. "Abel," I called with a cracked voice. The bad premonition in my heart was unbearable. I really didn't want to believe it. "Hm?" Abel replied. I looked into his eyes, hoping he would tell me something different and crush the silly thoughts in my heart. "Who helped me?" I asked in a low voice. Abel's expression changed. His earlier soft smile disappeared, and he looked at me worriedly. My heart sank. Could my memory be right?No, it shouldn't. "Tell me," I whispered, barely able to keep my composure. Abel's grip on my hand tightened briefly, and he sighed. "Fred already saved you before we got there. He also performed an emergency CPR on you." Abel explained. My thoughts collapsed, and so did my heart

JULIANMy eyes widened when I saw what happened. I tried to control myself and even tried to step back, but my body suddenly seemed to weigh a thousand tons. I couldn't even do anything. I held my belly as I threw up almost all the food in my belly and the earlier ginger tea I had taken. My mind was in a mess. I was both panicked and distressed. What was this again? I'd been okay since I woke up that I'd forgotten about my health and condition. How could I be so careless?I closed my eyes as if that would erase what I had done, but my mouth kept pouring them out. Damn it. Why was Fred not stepping back?He stood there with his mouth open like he wasn't scared something might directly fall into his mouth, and no matter how I pleaded with my eyes, he seemed to have... lost his soul. What was I expecting? Fred hated me so much that he wouldn't even look at me twice on a normal day, but here he was, being soaked with my filth. How mortified must he feel at the moment? I really
