Chapter 26.

Thank goodness he hasn't informed Frederick what caused the pregnancy.

“Please, doctor, do not tell him what caused it, I am pleading with you. I swear I didn't do that on purpose, I didn't even know I was pregnant.”

But he doesn't believe me.

“Mrs. Fredrick, the deed has been done so, you should accept that you did it.”

I don't care if he believes me or not,

I just don't want him to inform Frederick about this.

“Please, Doc, help me. I can give you any amount you want, but do not tell Frederick.”

He shook his head and left the room without uttering any word again.

What should I do now?

How can I stop the doctor from telling Fredrick anything?

As I was still trying to figure out what to do, the door opened and Fredrick came in.

He was so angry when he opened the door, but when I broke down in tears, his expression changed and he approached the bed.

“I am so sorry, baby, I didn't know I was pregnant. Please forgive me.”

He sighed deeply, sat beside me, and hugged me.

“It’s okay, little dove, I understand.”

He does?

Hasn't the doctor told him yet?

Or he has forgiven me already because he loves me?

“I have been waiting for the moment the doctor would inform us you are pregnant, but all I get is bad news instead.”

This is all my fault.

When mum said I looked pregnant a few days ago,

I should have taken a test then,

But because I was so confident that the pills wouldn't fail, I never bothered.

Now see what I did to myself?

I am sure Fredrick would never trust me again.

“It's my fault.”

I cried and he chuckled.

“Do not blame yourself, okay? I know you are desperate for a child the way I am. But I promise you, the culprit won't go away easily now.”

Uhn?

The culprit?

Fredrick isn't blaming me,

He already has someone in mind who could have done this.

Who is he suspecting?

“What do you mean?”

I asked, sniffling.

“Jessy did this again, and I swear, she wont go away this time.”

Jessy?

Oh, no!

What have I done?

This time, it isn't Jessy who did it, it is I.

“Baby, I don't think it is her, it’s”

Bang!

The door was slammed open.

“Dad, what is the meaning of what you did!”

Harris shouted angrily.

“Must you always believe what Blair says?”

What did Fredrick do to Jessy?

“Don't you have a heart in your body anymore? How could you lock up a pregnant woman in prison for what she didn't do?”

Ahhh!

My eyes widened in shock.

This is serious.

“Baby?”

I tapped his hand,

But Harris snapped at me instead.

“You bitch, haven't you had enough already? Yes, I dumped you because I was not interested in you anymore. Jessy is the woman I love, can't you just leave us alone? Must you turn my happiness into sadness?”

He wiped off the tears on his face.

I was so confused and didn't even know what to say.

Did I like it that Harris was shedding tears?

Of course I do.

But I was not happy with myself because Jessy wasn't guilty.

“Get out of here!”

Fredrick yelled at him.

“I won't leave here until you have my wife released from prison!”

“Then I will have you arrested too because you are also a suspect!”

At that moment, the doctor stepped inside the room.

“Mr. Fredrick, please calm down. It isn't what you think it is.”

He glanced at me and tears rolled down my face.

I pray he doesn't say it was my fault.

If he does, all the anger in Frederick, he will transfer it to me.

“Step out of this!”

He thundered at the doctor.

“I am sorry, but I can't step out of this, Sir. Your family will be torn apart for what isn't true.”

What is he doing?

“Your wife’s miscarriage wasn't caused by anyone, it was…”

I'd rather say it by myself instead of letting them hear it from the doctor.

“Baby, it was…”

The doctor interrupted me.

“It was a natural miscariage,”

I was shocked when he said that,

I thought he was going to tell the truth,

But he didn't.

Why?

Did he take pity on me and save me?

Whatever it is, I am so grateful to him.

“See? The doctor hasn't even informed you of the cause of it yet, but you chose to lock up my pregnant wife.”

He sniffles.

“Dad, I am fed up with this already.”

Harris stormed out of the room.

Fredrick went after him, leaving me with the doctor.

“See what you caused?”

I lowered my head in shame.

“Why don't you stop doing whatever it is that will cause misunderstanding between Mr. Fredrick and his son? Since you stepped into that house, it has been one problem after the other…”

“How dare you talk to my wife that way!”

Fredrick shouted from the door.

The doctor stepped aside and bowed his head.

“I am so sorry, Mr. Fredrick.”

He apologized.

But Fredrick sent him out of the room and slammed the door shut.

How much did he hear the doctor say?

I hope he didn't hear the first thing he said.

“Blair, you are never a problem in my house. The only people who have been doing all sorts of evil are Harris and his wife. I trust you, Blair, you just want a place to have peace of mind.”

His words made me break down in tears.

Fredrick doesn't know the truth yet, but he trusts me.

What did I do to deserve this kind of love from him?

I never love him,

I am just using him to do what I want in that house.

But his love for me is genuine and he even wants to have a kid with me.

“I am so sorry.”

I rested my head over his shoulder.

“Dont be sorry for what you didn't do.”

He cupped my face in his palms.

“Let’s forget what happened today and move on with our lives. I know that you will conceive again, and very soon.”
