Lost memories

Chapter seventy-one
Jayde
When I open my eyes again, I'm suddenly on the bed.
I look around and Henry isn't here. What happened? Is something wrong?
I try to get up but I feel a sharp pain in my stomach.
Aside from that, I feel so sick and so weak inside.
I also feel so dizzy. Is something I don't know going on?
I remember sleeping beside Henry. Why am I suddenly here?
How did I even get here?
But with the smell, I know I'm in the hospital. Though, I don't know which hospital exactly.
My vision seems so blurry that I had to fall back on the bed. A serious headache has suddenly set in.
I feel weird, I feel so strange. I've never felt this way seriously. I don't know what's happening to me.
And where the fuck is Henry?
I have to leave this room. I have to look for Henry.
I struggle out of bed quickly. I can barely see anything now. It looks as though I can't even see.
I don't fucking know what had happened with my vision but I knew within me that I had to look for Henry.
God, I just hope he's alright. I just hope nothing bad has happened to him.
Or I won't forgive myself. I won't be able to ever forgive myself if something bad happens to him.
A pain shot through me suddenly.
I fall to the floor and grab my stomach in an instance need to suppress the pain.
My body shudders involuntarily and I can't even control it.
Before I could do anything, my eyes were already closing. I fell deep into slumber.
When I open my eyes again, I seem to be back on the bed. There are some drips connected to my body.
I feel less pain now and the headache is gone.
Aside from that, I'm unable to feel abdominal pain.
I wonder what had happened to me.
Nevertheless, I feel at peace again but I knew deep down that I had to look for Henry.
I need to know where he is and if he's doing well.
I just hope nothing bad has happened to him. And I pray he leaves the unconscious state soon.
The door opens almost immediately. I look up and watch the doctor and some nurses walk in.
That seems to give me peace of mind. Now, I'm aware of the fact that I'm in the same hospital that Henry is in.
He walks closer with a smile on his face, "Hi, how do you feel now?" He didn't wait for a reply and instead checks my eye pupil dilation and also my pulse.
I look up at him, "How is Henry?"
The nurses scribble something down as the doctor dictates to them. Maybe it's because I'm not concentrating or the fact that I don't seem interested but I just can't hear what he was telling them.
"So, how do you feel in your abdomen?"
I look at him now, "Better. The pains are gone. How is Henry?"
He chuckles lightly, " You should be worried about yourself. You nearly died."
What! My heart made a sudden thud. I almost died?
He turns to the nurses and instructs them on the medicine I'm supposed to take before he turns towards me again, "You need to eat before taking the drug if you really wish to survive."
I nod briefly, severally. I don't want to die. Gosh, what could have happened to me. I felt fine.
No, I didn't feel fine. I thought it was the fact that I didn't eat anything but I was dying inside.
I wonder how he discovered me.
But how is Henry faring exactly?
"How is Henry?"
"Well, Mr. Henry is doing great," he looks through the document he's carrying, "You should focus on getting better."
He looks up at me now, "Mr. Henry has left the unconscious state."
What! I feel happiness surge through me immediately.
I can't believe it's all better now. Gosh, I thought he was going to die.
I was going to miss him so much.
"Well, he got you admitted. And well, he was just a few minutes earlier. You could have died for real," he explains.
He brought me here? He must have woken up after I slept beside him.
Gosh, I'm not crying right now. I feel so emotional. Henry is seriously back. He's alive and he saved me.
"You should refrain from crying or doing things that will trigger you to push or add more energy to yourself. You have to be careful because of the surgery we performed on you. And also, you have to protect the child."
I stare at him, confused, " What are you trying to say?"
"Well, you are one week gone madam. You are pregnant."
It seems like I was shocked or perhaps I zoomed out of the world.
What! Pregnant? For Henry?
It seems like a dream. It was after I watch the doctor walk out that realization finally dawned on me.
I'm pregnant for Henry? The thought alone sends shivers down my spine.
Oh my God, what have I gotten myself into? How can I get out of this mess?
How do I explain a baby to my mother? How can there be a baby without the appearance of the father?
How can I even tell Henry this? That I'm pregnant with his child? When I'm supposed to be filing for a divorce.
I don't believe this is happening to me right now. I can't even think properly. It feels like I'm in a daze.
How can I be pregnant? I was supposed to walk away quietly. Why do I have to get pregnant?
Should I just get an abortion or should I tell Henry about it?
Gosh, it feels like my head is going to explode soon.
The door opens again and Myra walks in, a devilish smile on her face. She watches me for a while and I know she's here to mock me.
Now that Henry is awake, she has come to establish her little sassy behavior.
Well, I did say I would divorce Henry after he wakes up.
But another situation has just arisen. Fuck! I'm pregnant with his child.
"I can see you are doing well. You don't feel sick at all."
I look at her, " Are you here to say that?"
She scoffs, " Not exactly. You promised to divorce him the moment he got up. Now, he's up to fulfill your promise."
I sigh, " I'm sorry Mercy but I don't think that can happen now."
She stares at me for a while as if she just can't believe her ears, "What did you say? Are you changing your mind already?"
I went quiet as I don't even know what to say or where to start from.
I'm more than confused too. I don't know how to go about it.
"Don't tell me you have fallen in with Henry already? Is that why you have been hesitating?"
I sigh and look away. She will never understand. Mercy will never be able to understand anything.
"Well," she smiles slyly, "That wouldn't even matter."
I look at her for a moment. What's she talking about?
"Do you think fate will be by your side? You are aware of the fact that Henry is Hattie's husband and she's getting him soon, trust me".
I nearly scoff. Hattie is still in the hospital. She can't even act like the wife now because she's in an unconscious state
"Why?" She laughs again and I wonder what seems so funny to her.
Nothing looks funny to me.
"Well, you won't be able to have Henry. He's currently out of your reach. Why? Because he lost his memories. He doesn't even remember you."
I stare, eyes went gobsmack,*What did you just say?"
She smiles again, victoriously, " Fate is on our side. Henry is back as ours."
What! Henry lost his memories? He doesn't remember me?
