Chapter 31

"That's why I'm happy because the man you married is Harris. You will be completely loved. All I want to happen is that when you have a problem, you two talk about it. You will not spend days and months before settling down. And you must not give up because he is the one you chose to be with for life." said her father.

Elijah smiled.

"Yes, daddy. I'm happy with our life. And I can't ask for anything else but to give you a long life." Elijah said.
"That's why."
Then someone knocked on the front door. Elijah stood up to open the door and saw Camille's father with red eyes from crying. Elijah was suddenly nervous because his father's words that he would wait for him to come to him and beg seemed to come true. So this is the day. He didn't ask any but he just eased the open door. Camille's father went straight to his father and sat on the couch while Elijah remained standing at the closed door.
"It seems like our world is turning upside down, Mr. Lazaro. Now you're the one who came to me. Why? And I think you're crying, did something happen?" said his father in a rude tone.
"Let's forget what happened, Alfonso. Because Camille is on the verge of death now." said the old man.
"You're her parents, aren't you? So you know best what you can do." answered his father.
Camille's father leaned on the couch.
"She's going to take out your child so you have the right too."
"After you insulted me in your household, I have stripped myself of the right to be the father of your future grandchild." her father replied in a firm voice.
"You are smart, Lazaro. All the businessmen have you defeated but now why have you suddenly become a coward? The problem is not to be cried about but to be fixed. My life is quiet here in the house alone. And I know with your wealth that you have, you can please keep my child alive for a few years." said his father.
Elijah's heart seemed to be torn to pieces when she saw the father's in pain and feared for her daughter's safety. And the other one is also a father who tried to be strong and stubborn because her ego as a person was trampled. Camille's father stood on the couch and suddenly knelt in front of her father.
"Please, Alfonso. Go to Camille. She might be looking for you. She was supposed to give birth yesterday but so far the child has not come out. The doctor said that the child needs to be taken out as soon as possible because it has become too long, but Camille couldn't get it out normally, " said Camille's father, holding her father's knee. She was suddenly nervous because Camille and the baby might be harmed.
"Damn you, Lazaro! Where did you put your brain? If you can't get it out by normal just jump into another option is cesarian. Why did it go to the time limit? Shit!" said her father and went out.
Elijah also followed and Mr. Lazaro was left inside the house.
"Get in, Elijah. We need to get to the hospital immediately. If anything bad happens to them, I will kill that old man."And his father drove the car hard.
"Relax. Everything will be alright and I know that Camille and the baby will survive."
An hour later they reached the hospital. The daddy immediately came out and ran into the bathroom. They asked where the delivery room was and they were directed to it when they arrived and saw Camille's mother sitting in the waiting area as if she had no energy.
She looked at them as if her face lit up and suddenly stood up.

"Has Camille given birth?" his father asked formally.
"Not yet." mom answered.
"Doesn't this hospital operate cesarean?" his father asked again.
"There is. It's been suggested for a while now, but Camille doesn't seem like she doesn't want to take the child out." answered the old woman.
So he opened the door of the delivery room without warning. Elijah also followed and the nurse and doctor looked at them all. Elijah saw him put on an oxygen mask.
"What is happening to him? Why is there an oxygen mask?" asked his father.
The doctor approached them.
"Who are you?" it said.
"I'm her husband." answered his father.
"Okay. She couldn't get the child out and she was crying. And we suggested that we do a cesarean operation but she didn't want to agree. So she couldn't breathe because of the crying." said the doctor.
Daddy approached Camille as if he was sleeping or something. He held Camille's hand and caressed it. Then Camille woke up and hurriedly got up and took off the oxygen mask as if he suddenly woke up.
"You're here, Alfonso. Why only now?" she said and hugged her father and looked at her.
"Are you okay, Camille?" asked Elijah.
"Yes. I only played drama to mess up my parents' world. They are so annoying." Camille answered in a low voice.
So they laughed secretly.
Her father loosened from Camille's embrace and looked at her.
"Can you take our child out?" asked his father.
"Yes. In a normal way."
"Okay."
"I'm leaving, daddy," Elijah said goodbye.
"I'll take you home. It's getting late." answered his father.
"Don't worry. I'm fine." Elijah replied.
Elijah came out, she couldn't stand the smell of the hospital. She didn't know why she wasn't like this before. She was walking slowly because the path she was walking on was spinning and she felt like she would fall. She was so worried that she didn't think to call Harris. After she left the hospital, she took her phone from his handbag but it was nothing. Maybe she left it on the couch at her father's house. She will pick it up tomorrow. She got into the car and drove away. Harris was worried about her.

After some time he reached their house. And he saw Harris with a bad face. Maybe he has a lot of calls on his phone. He got out of the car.
"Where have you been?" asked him.
He didn't pay attention to it but ran into the bathroom near the kitchen to throw up. Harris was still followed by the question of where he was from.
"Damn you! I feel bad. Then you always ask where I'm from." Elijah said and sat down on the marble floor.
He didn't eat anything strange but why is he vomiting? Harris approached him and stroked his back.
"Does your stomach hurt? Or your head?" Harris asked.
"Stomach and head. I only ate pizza with daddy. Then we went to the hospital because Camille was about to give birth and the child couldn't be taken out. And I didn't realize that I left the phone at daddy's house." answered Elijah.
"I'm sorry. Can you still stand?" Harris asked.
"Help me."
So Harris led him to the chair.
"What do you want to eat? I'll cook for you." Harris said.
"Not anymore. I'm going to sleep. Just ask for water." answered Elijah.
"Okay."
Harris gave her water and she drank it. Even the water in her mouth was tasteless. Her mouth suddenly turned bitter. She likes to eat sour and spicy.
"Where is Lucy?"
"She's already in her room doing assignments. Because when I arrived earlier, she's done cooked food here," replied Harris.
"Eat now, sweetheart, and follow me to the bedroom," Elijah said and winked at Harris biting his ear.
"Ouch. It hurts. your bite!" Harris shouted.
"Help me."
So Harris led him to the chair.
"What do you want to eat? I'll cook for you." Harris said.
"Not anymore. I'm going to sleep. Just ask for water." answered Elijah.
"Okay."
Harris handed her water, which she drank. Even the water in her mouth had no taste. Her mouth became bitter all of a sudden. She enjoys sour and spicy foods.
"Where has Lucy gone?"
"She's already in her room doing assignments because she had already cooked food here when I arrived," Harris responded.

"Eat now, sweetheart, and follow me to the bedroom," Elijah said, biting Harris' ear.

"Ouch! Your bite hurts!" exclaimed Harris.

Elijah simply laughed as she walked into their room.

Harris questioned Elijah's behavior. Harris has an idea, but he is not sure if it is true or not.

Before he went to sleep, he ate first so that he wouldn't be hungry and the dish that Lucy cooked was delicious, it would be a shame if he couldn't eat it. After a few hours, he finished eating so he brushed his teeth and entered their room. He saw Elijah dressed in a red duster. And she carried three pillows and a blanket.
"Where are you going to sleep? I'm speeding up my food because you said and now you can't sleep here. And you used up all the pillows." Harris complained.
"There's another pillow in a closet. Look for it. I don't like your smell." answered Elijah.
"Really? I thought it was only your head and your stomach that had a defect, did your nose also?"
"Yes. Come here first. I will whisper something to you." Elijah said smiling as if someone wanted to play a prank.
Harris didn't come close because she might bite him again.
"Come here! Why is it taking you so long?"
"Keep your voice down. Lucy might be studying on the other side. What is that? You might bite me again." Harris said.
Elijah first left the bed and went to the dresser. When he came back, he was carrying powder and lipstick along with a wig.
"What are you going to do? You're going to sleep and then you're going to put something like that?" asked Harris.
Elijah laughed.
"I'm going to put it on you. I don't want to sleep yet. Besides, you don't want to be alone here either so I'm going to put it on you." answered Elijah.
"No way!" Harris said and was about to leave.
"Alright. When you go out that door you won't be able to set foot in this house ever again."
Harris suddenly stopped. Elijah might do her threat so he went back to sitting on the edge of the bed.
"That's it. Come here and face me. I'll put this wig on you first." Elijah said.
"What did you eat that made you think like that today?"
"Nothing. I just miss you. We don't have much quality time together." answered Elijah who put the wig on her first.
"Why are you blooming now? It's not like you're feeling bad." Harris said.
"You have a lot of questions. Don't be silly. I just noticed that you are handsome up close. And there is no need to put powder on your face because it is naturally white and shiny. And your lips are yummy. Hmmm. " Elijah said and kissed her lips and let go for a long time.
"I was not informed, sweetheart that there is a biting session when you make up on me," Harris said shaking his head.
Elijah laughed and continued to put powder on his face.
"That's it. It's over. Look at me. You're even more beautiful than me, sweetheart. Take off your clothes." Elijah ordered him.

Reason for Harris to frown.
"What? What are you thinking, Elijah?" he shouted.
"You don't want to. I'll undress you." Elijah said.
So he undressed her. And left the bed and took something from the closet. When she returned, she was carrying a red duster and a bra.
"Will you let me wear like that?" Harris asked in shock.
He didn't know what had become of this woman now. If it's like this all the time, it's like he doesn't want to go home to this house anymore.

"Of course. I'll just see who has the better body out of the two of us. After this, you'll take my clothes off." Elijah said and licked his face.
Harris laughed in his mind. But all his hair stood up when Elijah's cold tongue landed on his face. He hopes his lust toward his wife will not grow now. Because he still wants to prove something. So Elijah put the bra on him. Harris wanted to run out of the room because it looked so bad. Elijah stood up and took something from the closet when she returned with his socks. And tucked into the bra he was wearing.
"What are you doing?" Harris asked.
"Don't be so noisy. We're almost done. So you can help me, take off your pants." Elijah ordered him.
"What?"
"Get changed. Why are you going to sleep with that?"
Harris did nothing but strip. Then Elijah made him wear the red duster.
"Then what? I'll wear your panties?" Harris asked with a wrinkled face.
"No. I don't want to smell your stench in my panties," answered Elijah.
"Damn you! Mine doesn't stink. If it stinks, you won't swall.."
"Shut up! Done. Wow. You're prettier than me, sweetheart. Let's take a picture." Elijah said.
After they took a picture, Elijah kissed her. And removed everything that she made him wear, removed everything. And replaced it with a fragrant t-shirt and pajamas that he still wore.
"Thank you, sweetheart. Go to sleep. I'm just going out for a while. I want to eat a sandwich." Elijah goodbye to him.
Harris also lay down and Elijah put a blanket on him and left the room. After Elijah came out, she immediately ran to the kitchen to throw up. She had a hunch that she was acting like this. She was delayed for two months and only now did she notice and she admitted that she was pregnant. Maybe Harris pulled something but maybe he just waited for her to say it. Elijah just smiled because the time had come for the two of them to have a child. Harris doesn't have to worry that the two of them might be separated because he can't give her a child. Elijah didn't know why she suddenly started crying. She immediately drinks water and eats a sandwich.
The next day Elijah didn't want to get up. She was felt cold and stiff.
"Are you okay, sweetheart?" Harris asked.
"No. I feel so bad," he answered.
"Shall I take you to the doctor? So we can find out why you are acting like that." Harris said.
"Okay."
Elijah got up because he felt better. She didn't see Harris again because maybe she came out first. Soon there was a knock on the door.
"Breakfast in bed," Harris said outside.
"No, sweetheart. I'm going out. Just a minute. I get dressed." answered Elijah.
"Are you going to shower yet?"
"Not anymore. The water is too cold."
"Okay. Hurry up."
After Elijah got dressed, he immediately left the room and went to the kitchen. He could smell the stench far away.
"What's that smell? Why does it stink?" he said and sat at the table and smelled all the dishes that were prepared.
"Nothing stinks, ma'am. Everything I cooked today is your favorite." Lucy answered without being offended.
"Please leave it, Lucy. Please."
"Okay. What dish do you want?" asked Lucy.
Harris knew that even Lucy had noticed.
"I want anchovy fish," answered Elijah.
"It's not here. I don't know where to find it, Ma'am. Wait a minute. Are you pregnant?" asked Lucy.
He and Elijah looked at each other.
"I don't know. I didn't check up," answered Elijah.
"Did you try to take a pregnancy test?"
"Still not," answered Elijah.
"You'd better get a check-up with the doctor, Ma'am. That's one of the symptoms. What I cooked smells so good. If you don't want to, just exchange it for anchovies. That's the only dish we have in our province." said Lucy.
"We'll go later."
"Much better but for now I'm leaving. Before that jerk catches me. Bye, guys." Lucy said and ran out of the kitchen.
Elijah came to her and hugged her as he heard her crying.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Thank you for giving me these blessings. I was delayed for two months so I know we are having a baby."
Harris was very happy.
So he broke free from Elijah's embrace and jumped up and down in joy.
"Yes! Yes! I'm going to be a daddy."
Elijah laughs.
