When There Is Nothing Left But Love

However… When I woke up, the sky was dark.

The moment I opened my eyes, a man’s sleeping face caught my attention. There were dark eye circles around his eyes, and light stubble appeared around his chin.

He was here the whole time?

I looked around to see four white walls. This was the hospital ward.

Out of instinct, I stretched out my hand and touched my tummy uneasily. Fortunately, there was still a slight bulge on my stomach, and it no longer hurt.

“You’re awake?” The man beside me gruffly commented.

I was momentarily stunned. When I turned to look in his direction, I realized that Ashton was awake. He got out of the chair and walked to my side to pour a glass of water.

He placed the cup on my bedside table. “Do you want some water?”

His emotions were hard to decipher, and I cautiously asked, “Am I still pregnant?”

His pair of obsidian eyes pierced through my soul. He looked cold and terrifying. My heart was palpitating extremely fast as I widened my eyes and waited for his response.

He took some time before breaking the silence, “How long were you planning to hide it from me?”

Given this situation, there was no use in arguing with him. I held back my tears and stammered, “Rebecca forced you to make me abort the child by threatening suicide. I could not bear to
