Chapter 189
“Don’t you think she’s being unreasonable? How much more can I do? I’ve been by her side and I’ve made sure to shower her with love and affection but still, I feel like none of it is working and I’m just wasting my time” Daniel muttered as he paced back and forth in the room while Kiara and Zane watched him.
Zane let out a tired sigh as he ran his fingers through his hair.
“Why do we have to sit here and listen to you rant about your problems? Kindly get out and close the door behind you” Zane muttered as he rested his head on Kiara’s shoulder.
Kiara let out a sigh before turning to Daniel.
“Don’t listen to Zane, he’s being grumpy for some reason. Listen, I know Heather more than anyone and she’s pushing you away because she’s scared. She had given her heart to you once and you broke it. Then she gave her heart to Liam and he broke it as well. She’s scared of giving it back to you and having you break it again as well. You just have to be patient and make it known to her that you’re never giving up. She might not show it but she really appreciates the fact that you have been there for her and she loves the attention you give her but she won’t admit it because she’s scared. Try to understand her, okay?” Daniel frowned before letting out a sigh.
He walked over to the couch and plopped down on it earning a groan from Zane.
“Why are you getting comfortable? Please leave. I’d like to be here alone with my love” Zane muttered as he placed a kiss on Kiara’s lips.
“Can you tell me what you think of this as well, Zane? If you were in my shoes, what would you do?” Daniel uttered, totally ignoring Zane’s words. Zane tilted his head.
“I’d never be in your shoes because I’d never leave Kiara’s side no matter how much she pushes me away. It’s your fault for letting her go in the first place” Zane muttered then turned to the nightstand and pulled out the cooling gel before turning to Kiara.
“It’s time to put this on, my love” Zane uttered then turned to Daniel with a stern look in his eyes which made Daniel sigh as he stood up from the couch.
“Okay okay, I’ll leave. Jeez” Daniel muttered as he walked out of the room.
He paced outside Heather’s room door for a while, contemplating on what he should do. He really didn’t want to lose her but then again, they said if you loved someone, you’d let them go, right?
The door to her room suddenly opened and when the nurse saw him, she smiled.
“I see you’re back. Miss Swift has been asking about your whereabouts. Luckily, she’s asleep now” He nodded at her then watched as the nurse walked away before walking into the room and closing the door behind him.
He sighed as he watched her sleep before he walked over to a chair and carried it closer to the bed before sitting down.
“I really don’t know what to do with you. You were the one who drove me away so why, why were you looking for me then? If you don’t want me to leave, I will never leave but I need to know how you feel about it, how you feel about me. I’m not asking you to love me instantly and I’m not asking you to trust me instantly as well but all I want is for you to let me love you. I’ll show you the love that I wasn’t able to show you in the past and I’ll love you exactly the way you want to be loved. I still have a lot to learn but I’m trying just for you” He murmured then leaned closer and placed a kiss on her cheek before getting up from the chair. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
He was about to walk away when Heather reached out and grabbed his hand.
“I don’t want you to leave. Stay here with me, Daniel” Her eyes were closed and it seemed she was talking in her sleep which brought a smile onto his face.
“I wasn’t going anywhere”
Kiara frowned as she watched Zane rub the fell on her stomach which had darkened drastically over the few months.
“I don’t think that helps, Zane” She murmured and he sighed.
“Well at least it does cool down a little bit of the ache. Just sit back and enjoy it” She sighed as she stared up at the ceiling.
“How do you feel?” He paused as soon as she muttered. He slowly turned to her with furrowed eyebrows.
“I don’t get what you mean,” He murmured.
“Our children will be here soon. How do you feel about that?” Zane frowned then placed the cooling gel on the nightstand before turning to her.
“I can’t wait to meet them but right now, all I care about is yours and their survival. I feel scared most of the time but excited to be a father to your children” She smiled slightly as she caressed her stomach.
“Well I don’t feel excited at all, I also don’t feel happy. I feel so scared, Zane. I’m so scared that all we have done till now will be in vain” Zane shook his head as he grabbed onto her hand then wiped away her tears with his free hand.
“Why would you say that? Where’s the optimistic Kiara that was sure she was going to make it through this? You and the babies are going to live because they have such a strong mother fighting for them”
She sniffled then smiled slightly.
“I’m sorry I cry a lot these days” He chuckled.
“Why are you sorry about that now?” She shook her head as tears streamed down her face.
“I don’t know, I just feel sorry for everything” He wrapped his arms around her as he caressed her hair soothingly.
“That’s okay, my love. This is not your fault, none of it is your fault. Levi and Anastasia are finding a way to help and I’m sure they will. Okay?” She sniffled then nodded slightly.
“But just in case they don’t succeed. Can you promise me one thing?” Zane pulled back to stare at her in the eyes.
“What?”
“If worse comes to worse, save our children and let me go”…
