CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FORTY-NINE
“Please speak clearly. I'm not a doctor so I don't really understand what you mean by that,” I replied, standing up and handing over Brennan to Lisbeth.
The entire room turned around to pay attention to what she was saying.
“What I'm trying to say is that he might be a little unstable mentally. I think while you were going through what Fanny put you under, your child was trying to fight for you,” she explained and I remembered those moments of reprieve. “The consequences of that is that he's already displaying signs of psychosis. They're not..”
I wasn't hearing her anymore because instead of her voice, I was hearing a loud sound in my head, and I had to hold Xavier's hand to stop myself from falling.
“My child… he's going to be mentally unstable?” I whispered in disbelief.
“Unfortunately, Your Highness,” she confirmed and I held my stomach as tears welled in my eyes.
“Why is this happening to me? What is the meaning of this? He's not even born yet and your people are already hurting him because they're targeting me. What exactly is my offense!” I yelled in Xavier’s face, the events of the last six months rushing through my mind.
All I did was be human.
I didn't choose to be here, I was literally forced into marrying him and yet, they won't even let me have a healthy baby.
“I'm so sorry, My love,” Xavier said as he held me in a loose embrace. He was also devastated. “He's going to have the best of help, okay? I'm already commissioning a lot of finances to focus on mental health.”
“But wait, was this his plan for me?” I asked, looking at the people in the room. “Did Fanny want me to go crazy and it passed to my child instead?”
“He hasn't really given us a reason why he did this,” Memphis replied, his expression solemn. “But he's tied up in the clinic after he fainted and will be interrogated the moment he's awake,” he finished
“But don't worry too much. We've already seen this at an early stage and with his Majesty’s interest in mental health, we'll be able to work on healing him before you give birth,” one of the men assured me.
But I wasn't assured.
I was livid.
I cleaned my tears and turned to Xavier.
“We trusted Fanny and he did this to us. To our child. Why are you not doing anything about it? He's even in the clinic, getting cozy!”
“Oh baby, you know I won't let him go scot-free,” he replied with a faraway look. It was like he was imagining all the ways he could kill the guy. “I just wanted to be sure you're alright before I attended to that problem.”
“Well, there's no way I'll ever be fine and it's all because of him so let's go talk to him.”
“Alright everyone, clear out of the room,” Memphis commanded and Lisbeth opened the door.
Roe gave me a small hug and the tears in my eyes nearly spilled but I was more concerned about the anger swelling in my veins.
Fanny was going to get a taste of this new power running through my veins and he'll be my first test subject.
I didn't know how powerful I was,, blue blood or not, but I was going to find out soon.
The fire in my soul won't dissipate until I've dealt some of it to the ky’rhan who thought he could hurt me and my child and get away with it.
As everyone filed out, I followed suit but Xavier pulled me back.
“Baby, let's not rush into this okay? Another reason his carcass is not currently floating in space is because I want to know why he did all of this so let's calm down and get that out of him first okay?” He said and proceeded to try kissing me.
I moved back, ignoring the look of hurt on his face.
“You want to figure out why? What on earth could justify this crap?!” I yelled in exasperation. “He fucked with me and that ended up hurting our baby and you want to sit with him over a bottle of wine and find out why!?”
Xavier was usually the angry and uncontrollable one when he was angry. What was this crappy excuse about finding out why?
“No, that's not what I mean. Look, I have a feeling up my spine that this is bigger than what it looks like. There's no damn reason why he'll just do this so I need to find out why so I can put out this problem from its root. I don't want anything to ever hurt you again,” he explained and it took me a while to understand his view.
“Fine but I still don't like this. It's unlike you anyway,” I grumbled and took his coat from the chair to cover the hospital gown I was in.
“I know, love but I need to make sure you're safe and my emotions would definitely get in the way of that if I don't control it.”
I went up on my tippy toes and kissed him a little, conscious of my bad breath.
But he didn't seem to care and took my mouth into his, kissing me passionately.
I had to pull back as I was beginning to feel something else.
I needed to deal with Fanny first, then I'd make sure he fucked me as much as possible. I missed him more than I cared to admit.
We walked to the clinic together and as we walked past people, they were all smiling at me.
“That's weird,” I muttered in confusion.
“What is?”
“They're acting like they're happy to see me or something,” I said with a small laugh.
I was sure they were laughing at me when I wasn't looking but still, it all felt weird. I knew these people didn't like me.
“Well, I hope they are. They're alive because of your sacrifice and I'm so sorry it nearly cost you your sanity. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I want to grab that bastard by the throat and kill him like a small chicken,” he growled, his hands tightening around mine.
“We'll get to that part soon, Baby. But let's stick to your initial plan, okay?” I assured him.
That kiss had done a lot to stabilize my emotions but the moment I walked into that ward and saw Fanny’s face, my anger skyrocketed again as I remembered everything.
