Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 130

He was walking very fast. As a result, he couldn’t maintain his balance. The bumpiness made Rachel realize the uncomfort on her belly. She felt more and more worried. Fear arose spontaneously.

Both’s clothes were wet already. Rachel hugged his neck and said in a low trembling voice, “Kenneth, the child...”

“Don’t be afraid. It’s gonna be fine.” The man’s deep voice interrupted her. His black eyes were as dark and thick as the ink.

Rachel remained conscious. She closed her mouth and looked at his profile through the rain on her eyes. She could not look aside for a long time.

It was not a long way, but Kenneth had wished that he could arrive with one step. He rushed into the hospital and began to yell for the doctor. The next moment, it was total chaos.

After half an hour.

The doctor came out of the ward. The man, who was already soaked all over but still looked steady, immediately walked forth, “Doc, how is she?”

The doctor looked more relieved, “The wound on her forehead is not a big deal. We have already taken care of that. As for the child, since there was no direct impact on the belly, it is not a big deal. But symptoms will include pain in the belly and so on. Take some good rest and pay more attention next time.”

Hearing this, the agitation on Kenneth’s face gradually disappeared. He nodded, “Doc, thank you.”

“It’s nothing. You can go in now.”

Inside the ward, Rachel was lying on the bed. A bandage was on her forehead. The paleness on her face gradually vanished. She saw the man coming in. His handsome face was extremely gloomy.

But he did not say a word.

The atmosphere was strangely quiet.

Rachel kept her mouth shut for a long time and had no idea where to look at. She couldn’t help saying, “Your clothes are wet. Go change them, or you’ll get sick.”

She was almost scared to death herself, but when facing him, she felt guilty for no reason. She felt even more frightened when seeing his gloomy face.

Besides, if it wasn’t him who yelled, she would not be distracted and fall down. It was not completely her fault after all. Still, it was obviously not the time to argue who was right and who was wrong.

Kenneth approached slowly.

Rachel’s heart trembled and wanted to get up.

“Don’t move. The doctor says that you need some rest. Lie down.” The man’s straight figure stood next to the bed, watching her from above. His voice was raucous and light. The agitation had already gone.

Rachel paused for a moment and lay back down. Suddenly, the man’s hand was put on her forehead.

“Does it still hurt?”

Rachel’s eyes deepened. Her eyelids lowered and smiled gently, “It was just a scratch. Nothing serious. Thank you.”

“I am asking, does your belly still hurt?” The man’s tone was at an appropriate speed, his eyes on her quietly.

Rachel’s expression frozen. She faced him. There were no other emotions except for coldness. After a while, she closed her eyes and smiled wretchedly, “No, it’s alright. You can relax.”

The coldness on Kenneth’s face grew stronger. Even the temperature in the ward dropped. His voice was mild and cold, “You think I can still let you go outside alone?”

Rachel’s eyes flickered and argued subconsciously, “It was just an accident. I wasn’t paying enough attention...”

The man interrupted her and sneered, “How many pregnant women wander around like you? How many accidents do it take to teach you a lesson?”

“Kenneth!” The woman’s expression changed slightly.

The man suddenly bent down and held her hand. Looking into her with his dark pupils, he begged in a determined way, “Rachel, quit the office. Nourish the child at home. You can do whatever you want after the baby is born.”

He did not possess such a strong heart to see her running into an accident like this for the second time.

‘Whatever I want?’

Rachel looked at him speechlessly. Silence spread between the two, cold and depressing.

After a long time, she suddenly smiled quietly. She leaned to one side and touched his handsome face. She murmured in a low voice, “Whatever I want...Is it only because of this baby?”

She had been thinking about this question for a long time. It really took her tremendous courage to ask. If they did not divorce, she could ask directly, but asking now would merely embarrass both of them.

However, she really could not stand this anymore.

Kenneth held her little hand and his gaze darkened. He said mildly, “You’re the one who wants to divorce. You’re the one who wants to give birth to the child. You have never talked about all these with me. Do you really need the child to do these?”

“Then why did you stop me when I was trying to abort the two babies? Clearly you just want to take the babies away.”

The man’s lips curled up as though he was smiling, “I can have a child with anyone. But you will probably not be interested in having a baby with anyone else. I am just worried that you’ll regret it.”

“You!” Rachel was choked by his words. Her pretty face went dark.

What did he mean by having no interest in having babies for another man?

Why did this man have the confidence that she would remain a widow for the rest of her life because of him?
