Semua Bab Fractured Promises: Bab 81 - Bab 90

“Mrs. Laurent? Mrs. Laurent?” Ellyse’ eyes slowly opened when she felt someone nudging her arm consistently. “W-What…” She stuttered as she struggled to open her eyes. The room was bright…far too bright for her liking, she squinted to help her eyes adjust until she finally saw what room she was in. She’s in Dr. Sanchez’s office, and she’s looking at her with concern glazed through her brown eyes. Ellyse licked the dryness off her lips before she sat up. “You passed out in the hospital’s elevator, are you all right?” She asked once more. “What? What…happened?” She held her forehead before quickly looking at her stomach. The baby! Her baby, how is her baby doing?! “Oh my god…” She muttered lowly as she held her stomach. Dr. Sanchez seemed to have seen the shift in her mood, “Don’t worry, your baby’s okay,” She ass

“Mom! Dad!” Claire’s voice resounded outside of Ellyse’s room.Both of them pulled out from the hug to look at their daughter who’s now eyeing them with delight written all over her eyes.“Are you both hugging?” She beamed, her smile as wide as ever.Kai looked at Ellyse awkwardly before chuckling, “Y-Yes, darling,” He lifts her up.“Do you need anything, Claire?” She asked her.Gone the cold and nonchalant girl earlier, now she’s looking at her parents with amusement written all over her eyes. It was probably the first time she saw the two of them embrace eachother.“Can you do it again?” She jumped a little from being carried by him.Ellyse looked at Kai, not knowing what to say. “Do what, exactly, Claire?” He asked her.“Hug!” She pouted.Both of them chuckled, they had no idea what to do. Now it feels downright awkward to embrace. For some reason, she didn’t know if she should even

“Ellyse! Kai, you finally woke up,” Victoria greets them merrily. “Mom,” Ellyse went up to her first to plant a brief kiss om her cheek while Kai greeted his father. “Alright! Come, have breakfast please. We bought you home-cooked meals!” Victoria guided them to the dining area. “By the way, where’s Claire?” George asked from behind. “Oh, well, she’s still asleep dad. She normally wakes up late when it’s the weekends,” She stated while walking. “She’ll probably wake up soon, don’t worry,” Kai assured his parents. “That’s perfect! You know, me and your father went here to talk about her upcoming birthday,” Victoria said. They all sat on the dining area. Indeed, they did bring a lot of food. Most aren’t even breakfast food, it’s like a whole feast! There’s chicken and gravy, stir fried rice, ham, eggs, a soup of some kind and a bed of vegetables laid out.

“If we get suffocated in here Claire’s going to be orphaned!” Ellyse said dramatically as she throws her hands down. Kai looked at her with furrowed brows, not knowing if she’s being serious or just dramatic. “Relax, Ellyse. We won’t suffocate in here, just wait for the maintenance team to come. I’m sure they’ve already been alerted,” He tried consoling her but her pregnancy hormones was starting to get the best of her. “God, why did we even do this!” She covered her face with her palms. “Look, we cannot do anything other than remain as calm as possible and wait,” She felt his hand on the blade of her shoulder. “I can’t force myself to stay calm in situations like this-“ “Then what do you want me to do to keep you calm?” He suddenly cut her off, leaving her dumbfounded. They looked at eac

Back then, Ellyse thought that the hardest thing she could ever do was divorcing him. But now that she’s inside his bathroom, bathing herself with her heart almost escaping out of her ribcage—afraid of what will happen next. Why the hell was she even overthinking sleeping beside him? She’s done that multiple times but for some reason, she still disliked and feared the idea. After she finished rinsing off the bubbles on her body, she wrapped her body with her towel before brushing her teeth on the sink. Afterwards, she proceeded on washing her face with her facial wash. When she dried off her body, she proceeded on applying lotion all over her body before putting on her pink silk pajamas. Then, she looked at herself for one last time. She looked alright, but f
