Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 62

He was so obviously nervous that I could see it across the road. My head told me that I should go back to the company, but my body involuntarily followed.

It was the thing I regretted the most in my life. If I could come back, I would not allow myself to follow them into the hospital, even it was hard to do.

I didn't know what happened to Alicia, but my heart pounded uncontrollably when I saw their backs. I couldn't explain, but I felt something bad was going to happen. My feet, as if they were not mine, just followed them in.

Marlon carried Alicia into the president's office. I stood by the door and peeked through the cracks.

"Mr. Redford!" Seeing Marlon, the doctor who was looking at some papers stood up right away. He never expected he would come, but he managed to calm down and welcome him with polite smiles.

"Help her, please!" Marlon placed Alicia on the sofa.

"Alright." Without delay, the doctor came over. "Miss Alicia, can you tell me where you are experiencing discomfort?"

"I, I've been feeling sick since yesterday. And there's blood when I accidentally fell down." As she said that, she covered her mouth again, holding back the urge to vomit. And her white dress was so conspicuous stained with blood. No wonder Marlon was so nervous when he received the phone call in the morning.

Thinking of that, I lowered my head and smiled bitterly. Of course, he treated people differently. Marlon would feel heartbroken if Alicia only caught a cold. And I, even if I died in front of him, he would just laugh, because to his relief, he didn't need to work hard to get rid of me.

"Mr. Redford, Miss Alicia is pregnant. Although there's blood, her pulse is stable. No damage is done!" The doctor felt Alicia's pulse and said.

I froze and stared at her, eyes wide open. She was pregnant and carrying Marlon's child!

"We are having a baby!" Alicia was first shocked and then excited. She took Marlon by the hands, "Marlon, we're having a baby. Are you happy?"

"Of course I am!" Marlon stroked Alicia's head, and gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead.

I could no longer hear what they said, not a single word. All I could see was Marlon's tender gaze towards her. He just smiled indulgently.

There was a sound that only I could hear.

I heard my heart was split in half and drenched in blood. I thought if I hid all my feelings away and kept distance, my heart wouldn't break. But it turned out that he could hurt me so easily and so hard.

I staggered out. I saw people walking past me, but not so clearly. I couldn't see their faces. My heart ached so much that I didn't feel anything anymore and my mind went completely blank.

But I knew one thing. There would be no possibilities between Marlon and me. Not at all.

I wanted to smile. I tried to smile. But, it was just too painful to do it.

I loved him for four years. I used four years of my prime and my affection to fantasize and love. But in the end, he was going to marry another woman, a woman I hated the most.

Tears ran down my cheeks. I gritted my teeth and tried hard to act normal. And out of blue, it seemed a bolt struck me and I blacked out.

When I opened my eyes, I could only see the white ceiling, white walls, white blankets, and smelt the disinfectant.

I was in a daze for a moment, and then sat up.

"Rachael, you're awake!" Adrian walked over in excitement. Beside him was a doctor. "I'm so worried about you. You fainted in the corridor. If I hadn't passed by, I don't know what will happen to you."

I looked at him and didn't say a word. All I was thinking was Alicia was pregnant with Marlon's baby.

"Mr. Orton, your friend has been pregnant for nearly three weeks, when it is the most dangerous time. She must get enough rest. And she should keep calm. Being emotional is bad for both mother and the child." The doctor instructed.

"What? What did you say?" I grabbed the doctor's clothes. My sudden move gave him quite a start. And he managed to stay calm, "Miss, you are nearly three weeks pregnant. With your poor physical state, I suggest you get some rest and don't be emotional."

I glared at the doctor, and my hands trembled out of ecstasy. ‘I'm pregnant, I'm pregnant with Marlon's child! Joy overwhelmed me. I am having Marlon's child. It has been four years. I never expected to carry his baby. Even if I die now, I would die satisfied. No, no, I can't die. I need to raise the child, our child.'

But the joy soon stopped. I'm having his baby, and so was Alicia. Moreover, Alicia was Marlon's fiancée and the loved one.

I was nothing to him.

Adrian made the doctor a sign to leave. The doctor gently got rid of my hand. I just stared straight ahead blankly. The doctor smiled flatteringly at Adrian and then left.

"Rachael, are you alright?" Adrian walked over and looked at me with concern.

I looked at him for a long time before I came to life. But I had nothing to say, tears rolling down my cheeks. Oh, my heart, it was filled with both thrilling joy and aching pain.

"Rachael, why are you crying? You should be happy to have Kieran's child. I'll tell him the good news now!"

"No!" Adrian's words dragged me back into reality. I wiped away my tears and hid away all my sadness. I looked at him and begged, "Mr. Orton, thank you so much for your help today. But can you do me one more favor and not let Kieran know about this?"

"What if I say no?" Adrian smiled, "Isn't this Kieran's child?"
