chapter 164

The silence was deafening as Zane stared at the doctor.

"What did you just say?" Zane uttered slowly. Anastasia cleared her throat then turned to the

doctor.

“Thank you, I'll handle it from here" The doctor bowed his head and hurriedly walked out of the

room while she turned back to Zane.

"Zane, calm down" He stared at her like she had grown two heads.

“Calm down? Do you know the severity of what the doctor just said? Kiara can't find out about this.

She's... she can't..."

“Breathe Zane. She has to have a say in this" Zane shook his head.

“If... if the doctor kills the baby before she wakes up then..."

"Zane, think about what you're saying"

“I can't lose her Anastasia. I'd do anything to save her even if it means giving up our child but Kiara

will never give up on our child. She would rather die than let another child die and I can't let that

happen, Anastasia. We have to kill the baby before she wakes up" Anastasia sighed as she sat down

on the bed.

“I know how you feel but you and Kiara have to sit down and talk about this. How do you think she's

going to feel when she finds out you killed her child again?" Zane frowned.

"What?" She sighed.

“That's what she's going to think and this time, she might not just forgive you. You guys need to

have the talk together, okay?" The frown on Zane's face deepened.

He opened his mouth to say something but at that moment, Heather walked into the room.

As soon as she saw him, her eyes widened

"You... you're awake" She uttered as she walked closer to him. His eyes trailed down her body and

he could see that everything that was happening was taking a toll on her.

She had gotten so thin compared to the last time he saw her and she had tired lines on her

forehead. Her eyes were swollen as well which meant she had been crying.

“I'm glad you're awake. Kiara would be happy about that when she wakes up” He just kept staring at

her without saying anything which made her sigh.

She smiled slightly at Anastasia before turning around.

“Take care of yourself. You won't want Kiara or Daniel to see you this way when they wake up” Zane

uttered, making her halt in her steps.

She turned around and he wasn't even looking at her which made her smile. She bowed her head at

him then walked over to Kiara's bed and sat down next to her.

“She comes over to watch over Kiara in the morning, goes over to chat with Levi at noon then at

night, she stays beside Daniel till the next day and repeats the same cycle. Sometimes I hear her cry

especially when she's with Daniel so maybe you shouldn't make her feel like everything was her

fault” Zane turned harshly towards Anastasia.

“But it was her fault,” She sighed.

“Imagine if Kiara had been the monster, you literally would have killed everyone for her" He pouted.

"You can't use that logic against me. My love for Kiara is different from her love for Liam" Anastasia

tilted her head.

"Why do you think so?" He scoffed.

“Because she's in love with Daniel and Liam,” Anastasia smiled.

“Still, she was in love with Liam and that's why she believed he was still good. Love is a powerful

thing Zane, you of all people should know that" He stared at Anastasia for a while then sighed.

“Still, I can't forgive her for what happened, especially to Daniel. Let's forget about her, I need to

think about my predicament right now" He muttered as he turned away from Anastasia which made

her sigh.

She knew that was his way of dismissing her so she stood up, bowed her head before walking to

Kiara and Heather.

She glanced down at Kiara and smiled at how peaceful she looked. If only she knew what was going

on right now.

“She's going to wake up soon, right?" Heather suddenly asked in a small voice.

Anastasia turned to Heather then placed her hand on her shoulder.

“Yes she will, she has to. As long as you and Zane are waiting for her, she's going to wake up”

Heather smiled slightly then leaned closer and placed a kiss on her forehead.

“I should have never left her alone” Heather murmured which made Anastasia sigh.

"Don't say that. Kiara would have done everything to protect you especially since you're with child"

“But she's with child as well" Heather muttered as she turned to Anastasia with tears streaming

down her cheeks. Anastasia's eyes widened.

"You heard" Heather nodded then turned back to Kiara and grabbed her hand.

“How did none of us know? I should have protected her. I should have..."

“Let's not think about what we should have done because that can't be changed now. Let's just

think about how we are going to break the news to her when she wakes up” Anastasia murmured

and Heather sighed.

"Zane's right, she's not going to want to give up the baby. Maybe we should just get rid of it before

she wakes up. We'll just tell her that the baby died due to the stabs" Anastasia sighed.

“I know you are both worried about Kiara but you both should also think about her feelings. You

were there when she lost her first child, weren't you? How do you think she's going to take the news

that she lost another child without her knowing?" Heather frowned then sighed as she glanced

down at Kiara.

"You are right. We can't do that to her" Just then, the hospital door opened up and Levi walked in

with his brothers and father behind him.

He glanced at Kiara's bed before turning to Zane then he let out a smile.

“I have to say it does feel good to see your grumpy face dear cousin" Zane glared at him.

“I don't have a grumpy face and I'm not your cousin"...
