Chapter 22: Don't Move!

Vale woke up feeling thirsty. She sat up from the bed and reach for the water on the bedside table. Glancing at the closed window, she noticed that it was already dark outside. She was shocked when she saw a figure lying on the sofa. Rubbing her eyes, she blinked several times to make sure that she wasn't dreaming. No matter how many times she blinked, the figure was still lying there. She got up and was surprised to find fluffy sandal on the floor. She also noticed how her white feet were covered with a pair of socks. Her mouth curled up, and she wore the sandal before she wobbled up towards him. She sat on the opposite couch as she stared at his face. However, she didn't manage to stare for long. Her stomach grumbled in hunger and made Keith stir up from his sleep. "Uh-You're awake?" he sat up and yawned. "Mn." Keith saw her smiled and couldn't help but frown. "Why are you smiling? Is there something funny on my face?" he touched his face. "You decided to take care of me." her eyes glimmer in delight. "What? You're gonna throw a tantrum if I didn't want to?" Keith raised his eyebrows at her. He picked his phone on the table and sent a message to his current assistant, Aldo, to order some food. Vale pouted, "I'm a pregnant woman. I'm bound to throw a tantrum if I want to." Keith leaned back on the sofa as he looks at her, "Didn't you despise me? Why do you want me to take care of you all of a sudden?" Vale stiffened, "I..." "Actually, I'm curious. Is this one of your revenge plan? You want to get close to me to confirm if I still love you, didn't you? After that, you'll dump me and break my heart, or did you plan to kill me?" Vale's mouth was locked tight. She wanted to explain, but her tongue was tied. Keith sneered when he saw the conflicted expression on her face. "I'm quite curious as to how you will kill me, though. You have a lot of opportunities to do it before. Why didn't you? Did you regret not killing me when I was sick?" "Your attack on the Black Rose and Black River gang were brilliant. You've destroyed their factory and killed hundreds of them. But why is it so hard for you to kill me?" Vale gripped her gown tightly as she trembled. "Perhaps, you're hesitant because of the baby, right? Or you're afraid that Xavier will not like it if he knows that you killed your first love. That's fine. If you hate the fact that the baby is from me, just abort it, and we'll go our separate ways." "Asshole!" Vale grabbed the stack of fashion books on the table and threw them at him. Keith was quick to dodge the books flying at him as he stood up. Her face went red, and her blood boiled. "You bastard!" Annoyed that she didn't hit him, Vale stood up before she grabbed the vase of flower on the table and threw it at him. Keith's eyes widen before he dodged to the side and watch as the vase fall on the floor with a loud crash. Vale grew irritated and grabbed the cushion next to her at him. She walked towards Keith and used the cushion to hit him repeatedly. "You jerk! How dare you speak something like that to me! I hate you! I hate you! Ugh-" Vale stopped her attacks when she felt some pain on her stomach, followed by something wet dripping down her legs. Keith froze when Vale lifted her gown. Blood was dripping down her legs! Keith immediately carries Vale to the bed and lay her down before he pressed the emergency button. Vale's eyes were wide in shock and fear, her tears dripped down her cheeks as she touches her belly anxiously. "No...no...my baby...no..." Keith's face was as pale as a sheet of paper. Dr Huna and her group of team barged in and immediately did their job. Keith stood dumbfounded as he watched them work. He was rooted to the spot, but one could tell how down and guilty he was looking at his face. His heart was about to burst out from his chest from the anxiety he's feeling. If one looks closely, they could see how his finger trembled every now and then. *** Dr Huna turned around to face their frozen CEO and frowned. He looks like he had been turned into a stone by Medusa. His gaze was fixed on the floor, and his body didn't move for a long time. "...Mr Johnson!" Keith finally moved his gaze towards Dr Huna when she shouted. "Huh-yes?" Dr Huna looked at the petrified man, feeling amused. She had seen a lot of men panicking over their wife, but none has been petrified like him. "Your wife experience some shock and thus cause the bleeding. Don't worry. The baby is not affected at all. Just...be careful next time." Keith nodded, "Thank you." "It's our job." Dr Huna smiled before retreating. She shakes her head when she saw the mess inside the room. "Are you happy now? I almost lost my baby today because of you..." Vale wiped her tears. "Don't lie to me. You'd be grateful if I kill my own child, didn't you? You don't need to dirty your hands that way." Keith opened the wardrobe and searched for a nightgown before he walks towards Vale. Vale frowned when she saw him approaching her with a nightgown. "What are you doing?" she immediately grows cautious. Keith glared at her before he helped her up and tugged at her gown. Vale stopped his actions and tried to move away from him. "Don't move!"
