Chapter 309 - Couple’s First Quarrel (2) (1/2)

(Regaleon's POV)

”My wife, I am here.” I said to her with a gentle tone.

Alicia looked up and our eyes met. She was about to cry even more.

”Leon!” Alicia cried out my name and hugged me tightly. ”I am sorry. I am so sorry.”

Hearing her words melted the hurt and worries I had earlier. This woman in front of me was the one I chose, was the one I dear to me, was the one I loved the most.

I took her trembling body into my arms and embraced her.

”Hush now my love.” I said gently and caressed her back to comfort her. ”I am here. I will not leave you again, I promise.”

I can feel her warm body in my arms shivering. I let her cry and until all her sorrows have came out. Her quiet sobs were like small needles piercing my heart slowly and painfully.

After some time, her cries started to die down. She had calmed down and her body stopped shaking. I gently lifter her face to see her face.

”No.” Alicia tried to refuse my advances. ”I surely look haggard from crying she said.

”To me, you will always be my beautiful wife.” I said with affection.

Alicia had let me see her face at least. I gently lifted her chin and saw her eyes swollen with her crying. On her cheeks were still some wet tears. I took out my handkerchief from pocket and gently wiped her tears away.

”See, you are still so beautiful.” I said with all honesty. In my eyes, Alicia my wife, was the most beautiful woman in all the world.

”You are clearly teasing me.” Alicia smiled at last.

”I am sorry for leaving you my love.” I said and planted a kiss at the back of her hand. ”I was momentarily blinded from the hurt I was feeling. I should have not left you when you needed me the most. Especially now, in your current condition.”

Alicia shook her head. ”You did not do anything wrong Leon. It was I that made the wrong decision. Please forgive me, my love.” She said with such a remorseful look. ”I should have told you the time I knew I was pregnant. You had the right to know. I was… I was just afraid to be parted with you. I do not know why, but that feeling of being separated from you is something I clearly dread about.”

Alicia's words were full of truth. She might have kept the pregnancy a secret but now she is clearly remorseful of what she had did. Maybe it is true, what Snow said. Pregnant women are prone to mood swings. I should be more understanding of her condition, more than ever.

”I understand my love.” I kissed her forehead to show how much I trust and love her. ”I promise, I will never leave your side. I will stay by your side.”

”Thank you, Leon.” Alicia rested her face on my chest, something that gave me relief.

I was happy that our issues have been resolved. I am now happy that we have made up.

Alicia pushed me gently away, looking a bit pale. She was holding her mouth looking nauseous.

”My love, are you okay?” I asked in worriment. She shook her head and quickly walked beside a tree just behind us and started throwing up.

I quickly stood by her side and put her hair up. I patted her back to give her some comfort. After she had thrown up, I gave her my handkerchief without any second thought.

”Thank you.” Alicia replied graciously. She still looked a bit pale.

”Are you doing alright now?” I asked looking at her worriedly. I touched her cheeks with my palm, trying to gauge her temperature. ”It is not good for you to out in the open like this. We should her to the port city and find lodging at once.” I said.

”It is okay, they said this is normal in the first trimester of the pregnancy.” Alicia replied with a smile.

”It is not okay for me.” I said. ”I will call Anatalia to look at you once again. She is the one that you want to look after you correct?” I asked.

”Yes.” Alicia nodded. ”I feel at ease with her.”

I guess it is normal for pregnant woman to be at ease with female physician's rather than male ones. Having Anatalia by Alicia's side would probably the best course to take.

”Okay, I will be right back.” I told her and kissed her forehead. ”Sit here and wait for me.”

Anatalia gave Alicia a thorough check up. Tricia and William have come back with me and are now standing by.

”It looks like you are over fatigue Alicia.” Anatalia said with a serious face. ”The crying also did not help in your situation. And you should not have given her something to worry about.” She scolded.

”I am sorry.” I was remorseful of my actions that made my wife felt this way.
