chapter 168

Kiara opened her eyes slowly when she heard a knock on the door. She frowned when Levi walked

in. She had been expecting Zane.

It was getting dark outside and he still hadn't come to meet her.

“Jeez, you don't have to look so disappointed” Levi murmured then chuckled as he walked up to her

bed and sat down on the bed.

“It's not that. I'm really happy to see you but I... I was just waiting for Zane, that's all" He smiled then

nodded.

“I understand perfectly well so don't worry. Speaking of which I heard what's going on from

Heather" She sighed.

“Don't tell me you're on their side as well" He chuckled.

“I'm on both sides. I can understand from your perspective and I can understand from theirs but

something you're seemingly trying to brush away is that fact that you understand where they are

coming from as well and you know that they have every right to get worried about you" She

frowned.

“I don't need your word of wisdom, Levi," he smiled.

“I'm going to give it to you anyway because I care about you and I want what's best for you.

Everyone needs assurance and that includes Zane. If you're able to assure him that you're not going

to die along with your child then he'll support you all the way" Her frown deepened.

“But I can't assure him anything” He smiled.

"Exactly so instead of you trying to push them away hoping they'll come back to support you, let's

all put heads together and find a way to help you and your child survive. You and Zane need to be

on board with the same decision and that's the only way he'll be by your side to support you and

don't try to invalidate his feelings by guilt tripping him. You are as worried as he is so just talk to

him, okay?" Kiara thought over Levi's words then smiled.

“Thank you" He chuckled.

“For what?"

"For being the only level headed person here and for talking some sense into me" He smiled

brightly.

“No problem. All I care about is your happiness. Do you want a hug?” She nodded and he bent

down and wrapped his arms around her tightly.

At that moment, Zane walked into the room and frowned when he saw them.

Kiara's eyes widened slightly as soon as she saw him.

"Zane" She called out his name, warning a chuckle from Levi as he pulled away.

“You don't have to be scared, Zane and I are cousins so we understand ourselves” Kiara furrowed

her eyebrows.

“Cousins?”

“I'm not his cousin. Get out" He muttered as he walked over to the bed while Levi turned to Kiara.

“Don't let my grumpy cousin over here bother you, okay?" Zane glared at him.

“If you don't get out this instance, I'll make sure you're on bed rest for the rest of your life" Levi's

eyes widened slightly. He laughed nervously as he stood up from the bed.

“That's my cue to leave. Bye, Kiara" He uttered then walked out of the room.

As soon as he was gone, silence filled the air as Neither Zane nor Kiara knew how to start the

conversation.

“I'm sorry, I .." They both said at the same time then Kiara smiled before opening her arms wide.

"Please hold me" Zane immediately moved into her arms and hugged her tightly then placed a kiss

on her neck.

“I love you so much, baby and I'm just scared. I'm scared of losing you" Zane murmured into her

neck causing her to sigh.

“You won't lose me, Zane. We'll get through this together but all I want now, is you by my side as I

go through this. You're the only one that can help me pull through with this. I understand that this is

a very risky situation and I understand that if things go south, I might lose my life and that of the

baby's but don't you at least want to try? What if the baby and I don't die? Isn't that a possibility

also?" Zane's arms tightened around her as he let out a sigh.

"Okay, my love. Let's give it a go, let's try and save our child" Kiara pulled away as she stared at him

with bright eyes

"Are you being serious?" Zane nodded with a smile.

"Yes" She shrieked then wrapped her arms around him.

“That's all I wanted to hear, my love. I'm so happy that you support this" Zane frowned as he

hugged her back. There was a nagging feeling at the back of his mind that was trying to warn him

but against what?

“Have you eaten anything? I'll have the nurse bring you over some food. You know you're eating for

two now" He murmured as he pulled away to stare at her face and she giggled.

Her face that was once filled with sorrow was now beaming with happiness and Joy.

“But I don't want hospital food. It never tastes good" He smiled then pinched her cheek slightly.

“Then what does my Queen want? I'll get you anything" She grinned.

“How about a burrito?" He tilted his head as he stared at her with confusion written on his face.

“Burrito? I don't think I've ever seen you eat a burrito before” She shrugged.

“That's why it's called a pregnancy craving. Now I know why I've been craving it" Zane sighed then

leaned closer and placed a kiss on her forehead.

“Okay my love. I'll ask someone to bring you burritos, okay?" She nodded then opened her arms

wide again.

“Hold me" He chuckled before hugging her tightly.

Anastasia who was silently watching them from that door had a smile on her face.

She quietly closed the door behind her and when she turned around, she furrowed her eyebrows

when she saw the doctor and a nurse urgently walking towards the room.

“Do you need something?" She questioned and the doctor sighed before telling her everything and

even showed her the ultrasound and she felt instantly devastated.

“Can you break this news to them tomorrow? They are both in a happy mood now and I just think

they deserve to be happy even if it's for a while” The doctor glanced at the Nurse then nodded just

head.

“Very well then" As she watched them walk away, she thought of something in her head.

She needed to help them even if it meant using forbidden magic. She needed to talk to the Queen

of witches...
