Chapter 83 - Bitter Truth (1/2)

The presence of a vexing man like Adam is enough to make my blood boil. However, at this moment, staying calm is the best option. When Stella's done washing up, we'll leave.

”I'll break your teeth if I ever see you near my sister! You hear me? Don't ever show your filthy face to her ever again!”

Neil growled. Seriously, at this very moment when all of us are worried sick, Adam continued to show his evil grin, making us fear with his presence. This jerk! Veins slowly popped out on my head as I balled my hand into a fist.

Seeing that Neil is ready to barge into Adam, I hurriedly cooled myself and hold Neil back before anything bloody happens.”Neil, let it be. We will leave now.”

”I'm fuċkɨnġ serious. Mark my words Adam. Don't come near my sis!” His rage-filled voice echoed throughout the room.

”No one can keep me away from my angel. She's the light of my lonely world.” Adam lifted his eyes and began to laugh menacingly.

”G-guys... umm... I don't know if I should say this now.... but I think Stella may be pregnant?” Ray stated, choking on his own words.

”What!” Both Neil and I screamed in surprise upon hearing what Ray just said.

All of a sudden, Adam snaps out after hearing it.” You son of a bitch! How dare you touch her with your filthy hands!” He was looking so pissed as if someone had snatched away his lover.

”First of all, she's my wife and we have been married for almost a year. You are just the outsider here. Seriously! Stop ruining our married life. Your behaviour is abnormal. You're sick, Adam-” I wasn't able to finish my speech when I heard Ray shouted out in panic. I lift my head to see him holding my wife.

”Theo come here!”

”I-I'm pregnant?... But how can it be...? I-I took the pills in time, then why? H-How did it happen? What'll I do?” She was terrified, shaking in fear. The once cheerful girl, whose smile shines brighter than the sun, is now filled with anxiousness.

” Stella! Stella calm down!” I looked at Neil with wary eyes, as it was completely out of my context. ”What's wrong with her? Why she's acting like this?” I was starting to feel desperate.

” Uh... my sister has anxiety over her fears. It doesn't happen often.”

” But why is she scared?”

”We should take her home and try to calm her down,” Ray suggested while trying to take a hold of the situation. I have never seen her in this state.

It was obvious for me to get scared. It made me feel so helpless and incompetent right now. I am unable to take away her sufferings or relieve her from the stress and anguish she's dealing with.

We hurriedly left the place, leaving Adam wrecked from news. Ray drove my car, while I sat in the back seat with Stella. My left hand was holding her firmly and the right hand was on her head.

I tried to soothe her by patting her head gradually. She was still shaking. Her body was in chaos. If only I could calm her down, I'd be the happiest person.

I had informed the doctor to visit my house immediately. It didn't take him that long. Right after we reached my house, the doctor came. I laid Stella's shivering body on the bed. She fell asleep as I was comforting her.

”There's nothing to worry. She only had food poisoning. I've given her some medicines. She'll get better soon.” The doctor calmly said, making us feel ȧssured.

”Thank you, doctor. But what about her pregnancy?” Mixed emotions are filling me right now as I asked the doctor, hopeful but at the same time, not.

” I'm sorry to say but she's not pregnant.” The doctor said matter-of-factly.

”Oh… I see.” I heaved a sigh. That was a relief. ”Here I'll escort you,” I walked the doctor out and went back to the room where Stella is resting.

”Man, I thought I was going to be an uncle. What a bummer!” Neil began to nag at us. Just a few minutes ago, he was about to beat up Adam and now, and now he's whining like a child. What a moron!

” Don't worry. It'll happen later.” I replied with a smirk.

” Yeah. But before that, my sis needs to get over her fear of hospitals.” Neil reminded me.

” You know, judging by the pain she will have to endure, anyone would be scared. Even I would too.”
