Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184: Chapter 184 Conquered...

Pierce’s POV

Dad left after our short conversation. I thought deeply about everything he said and I’m starting to get it now. Dad won’t intervene with the things I can resolve on my own. He’s always like that. If he sees that I can still fight, he will not do anything.

“Pierce...”

I immediately looked at Kelly when I heard her voice. I rushed to her side and held her hand.

“Are you okay? How do you feel? Are you hungry? Thirsty?” I don’t know what to do because I’m panicking.

I shook my head as I remembered the first thing I should do. “I’m gonna call the doctor—”

She held my hand, stopping me even before I left.

She smiled and pulled me closer to her. “There’s a nurse call button, Pierce.”

I sucked my breath and looked at the button near the bed. I was about to press it when Kelly pulled my neck closer and kissed me on the lips.

It’s like magic. My fear, panic and all the negative thoughts lingering in my mind disappeared as soon as our lips touched.

She immediately pulled away and caressed my cheek. “Calm down, my love. I know I’m safe. I know the baby’s still here. I feel fine. So don’t worry too much.”

I stared at her face and slowly nodded. I tucked her hair behind her ear.

“I still need to call the nurse to check on you.”

She nodded. “But you have to calm down first.”

I took a deep sigh before I pressed the button. I sat on the bed beside her and after a few seconds, a nurse came to check on Kelly.

I was just staring at Kelly’s face while the nurse was checking her. I still couldn’t believe she sacrificed herself for me. She saved me when I should be the one saving her.

After the nurse assured me that Kelly’s fine. I immediately prepared the food dad ordered for us. I fed Kelly silently.

“What happened to the rider?” Kelly asked after she chewed the food I fed her.

“The police caught him. He’s under investigation and I hope he won’t end up like the first shooter.”

She nodded. “It’s good he’s caught.”

Now that she mentioned it, all my worries came back.

“Why did you do that?” I asked with a hoarse voice.

She shook her head. “I don’t know. I just...thought I gotta save you when I saw him taking out a gun. And I know if you were in my shoes, you’d do the same...”

“Still...” I paused and sucked my breath. “You...put your life on the line, Kelly. I was so scared.”

She nodded and caressed my cheek again. “I know and I’m sorry for scaring you.”

I fed her a spoonful of food again. She accepted it and asked for a water when she’s full.

“Pierce, can you buy me something sweet?” She asked while I’m cleaning the bed table.

I smiled and nodded at her. “I saw a pastry across the hospital. I’ll be right back.”
