As time passes by, seasons changed as well. Winter is nearing to an end, the cold no longer very cold, the sun has started to appear, melting the ice away and beneath the snow, early flowers pushing their way through making their existence known.
Jade was staring out of the window from the obstetrician office, she caressed the new life in her, her stomach could not hide any longer the fact she is pregnant. Her baby bump, like the flowers is making its existence known to the world. The doctor was the same doctor that came to do house visit after Derek's drugged incident.
She frowned when she first discovered the date of conception. She even glared at Jade who shrugged nonchalantly, not even feeling a tiny bit of guilt. She remembered telling the couple to rest for two weeks. Obviously, they did not take any of her advice to heart. Jade brushed off her glare by telling her Dr Sin said it was alright as long as it was gentle. Jade even recounted the night and she blushed when remember it was her who told Derek to put it in. After that, Dr Angela felt her face going red, Jade is just too brutally honest. Father Lee left the room under the guise of going to the loo.
Jade finished her story with a smile on her face while caressing her baby bump lovingly. Dr Angela then performed a series of test including a scan. Jade and Father Lee was excited and happy when they were showed the baby heart beat. Jade needs to come again next month for a detailed baby scan to detect any physical abnormalities. They returned home to Lee manor.
Jade was stunned when she saw Derek waiting at the front door when she got down the car. She shook her head in disbelief. These past months had been so hard that she would think of him and he'd appear in front of her but only to disappear when she reached out to touch him. She disregarded him and told herself that it must her imagination. She turned around and waved goodbye to Father Lee who had to attend a meeting at the company.
She then turned around once again but only to notice that the image of Derek was walking towards her. She rubbed both of her eyes, expecting the image to disappear when she was done. Her heart thumped wildly against her chest. She took some steps towards him too, she needed to reach out to him, to touch him and feel him against her skin. She rushed towards him and slipped on a slippery ground, she was falling.....
Jade's mind was in chaos. Oh no, my baby, our baby... please be safe, sorry that mummy was reckless. Mummy just caught a glimpse of you today, mummy dearest wish is to carry you to full term. She positioned herself in a way that her baby bump would hurt the least if she fell.
The servants and the hidden guards who were watching the whole thing unfolding started to be frantic. If anything happens to Madam and the baby, their lives might not be enough to pay for it. Madam and future young master or miss please... please be fine. They all prayed.
Father Lee asked the driver to turn back to the manor, just a few moments after they left. The scene that unfold before his eyes was enough to give him another heart attack. He rushed towards Jade but was one step behind.
Father Lee was blaming himself, he should never have left her by herself. He had a nagging feeling when he saw her acting peculiar. He should have accompanied her inside first and once she is already safe and sound, then only he should take his leave.
The usual calm and quiet Lee residence was unusually lively and tense today. The usually hidden guards made their appearance known and all dove in towards their madam, some were positioned to catch her and some laid on the ground all prepared to be her human cushion.
Jason who came to send over some documents also dashed forward to make a save.
Jade who had her eyes tightly shut was prepared for the impact of the fall. Somehow, she was caught in a pair of strong arms. Her heart beats continued to beat fast. Did she fall? Why was this situation so similar to the one in the past?
Is baby okay? Did I hurt our baby? Tears started to fall down her cheeks. She could not help it. Such a scare. How could she be so clumsy almost endangering the live of their baby. Her first action was to put her hand to her lower abdomen in a protective manner. Once she felt calmed, then only she relaxed into the person who saved her embrace.
A big callous hand touched her face and wiped her tears away. It felt very familiar. This smell was also something she had almost forgotten. Instead of leaving the man embrace she snuggled in closer. "You smell good. I had a bad scare just now, can I stay like this for awhile." She felt like she was in a trance and in a dream. Most likely she had fainted after the fall. Her minds must be playing a trick on her.
The man just stared down the woman in his arms who have yet to open her eyes. He continued to stare at the beauty in his arms, ignoring the commotion around them like nothing else exist but them.
"Did you miss me, wifey? I miss you and I almost die when I saw you were about to fall. Why do we always need to meet like this? Can you have some compassion for your hubby poor soul? Is this how you greet your hubby when he is back?"
Jade's eyes immediately flew opened widely and stared into the face that she had missed so much.
