Since She Met Lucian

After the doctor checked up on Amelia, Lucian helped her return to her ward. When Amelia had laid down, he quietly sat at her bedside. He was currently thinking about what the doctor had told him, and was getting very worried.

Taking Amelia's hand, he put it to his lips and kissed her fingertips gently. There were a lot of different feelings surging up in his heart.

The baby wasn't getting enough oxygen because of the amount of activity Amelia was doing. Because of this, the doctor said that there was a chance that they might lose the baby. Lucian was starting to go out of his mind when he learned this.

It was a good thing that Amelia had a strong will.

As per the doctor's orders, Amelia should rest as much as she could. If there was anything she needed, she had to let someone else do it for her.

Shortly after the examination, Amelia had finally woken up completely.

Glancing at the ward with white walls around, Amelia eyes fixated on Lucian. "Is the baby...Is the baby okay?" she asked weakly, putting her hand instinctively on her belly.

The last thing she remembered was the dull pain coming from her stomach, and the feeling of something slowly leaving her body. And so, her first natural reaction when she woke up was to ask about their unborn child.

Lucian pressed her hand against his cheek. "Don't worry. The baby's fine. Just get some rest," he comforted.

Seeing Amelia anxious like this made his heart ache. Guilt washed over him as he felt like it was his fault that Amelia was suffering this much.

"That's good... The baby's still here," Amelia muttered under her breath, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"You should get some sleep. I'll just be right here beside you." There was so much love in Lucian's voice when he spoke to her.

"What about you?" Amelia asked as she saw his tired eyes. "You should rest, too."

There were dark circles under Lucian's eyes which made Amelia's heart ache.

"I'm fine. I'm just so relieved that you're okay," he replied, still tightly holding onto her hand.

If anything happened to Amelia this time, he would have never been able to forgive himself. Fortunately, she and the baby were fine. However, the bruises all over her body made him incredibly uneasy and pained.

Later that afternoon, Courtney and Kent came to the hospital to visit Amelia.

"Kent and I can look over her in the meantime," Courtney told Lucian. "Get some rest first."

Kent lowered his head, fearing Lucian might snap back at them for being there.

"No, it's okay. I won't be able to get any sleep anyway if Amelia's out of my sight," replied Lucian, looking over at Amelia with loving eyes.
