Bye, My Irresistible Love

Caroline‘s POV 

During the middle of the night, my aching belly woke me up.I opened my eyes, reaching my hands out to nudge Charles away. But then, I found that he wasn‘t in bed with meHe still hadn‘t come home yet.

My lower abdomen was aching worse with every passing second. I gritted my teeth, struggled to sit up from the bed, and reached for my phone on the bedside table with difficulty,

My hands trembled as I held the phone and opened my contact list to dial Charles‘ number,

“Beep… Beep.” The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered it. 

My heart sank as I put the phone down and lay back on the bed. I grasped the sheet beneath my body tightly. And pretty soon, beads of sweat formed on my forehead and on my back. The dark room was awfully quiet. 

The next thirty seconds felt like an eternity to me. I wanted to call Janet and Tracy in, but I was far too weak to do anything. It felt like there was a lump in my throat, and my voice was so faint that even I had a hard time hearing it. 

“Charles! Charles…” I kept on whispering his name, hoping and praying that he‘d come back soon. Suddenly, my eyes went blank and I completely lost consciousness. By the time I woke up, I heard someone crying. The cries were deafening, and yet it was filled with vitality. 

“Caroline, I‘m glad to see that you‘re finally awake. Look! You have a lovely daughter now.” Alice held the baby in her arms. Her voice was filled with joy, and excitement was written all over her face.

I turned my gaze towards her and saw the newborn baby in her arms. The little angel was so small, and she was leaning against Alice‘s chest. Upon taking a closer look at the baby‘s face, I couldn‘t help but frown a little. Her face was wrinkled, and she didn‘t look cute at all.

 “Caroline, are you okay? Are you still in pain?” Charles approached me.

 Based on his bloodshot eyes, I could tell that he hadn‘t had a wink of sleep. When he touched my hand, I moved it away, trembling all over. 

“Where were you last night?”

 “I‘m so sorry for being away, Caroline. Nevaeh was involved in a car accident. David called me, saying that she might die, so I…” 

As I listened to his explanation, tears welled up in my eyes and they soon fell one after another.I wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes and averted my gaze from him. I kept telling myself not to cry.
