Chapter 11

"Stop acting like that!" he said with a frown.

I can't quite imagine how he could tell me like that even he could see my condition. My whole body is weak and I'm having trouble breathing.

But before I could speak, I lost consciousness. I don't know what happened next to me.

I just woke up in a cozy room. The doctor who was currently taking my blood appeared in front of me.

I saw Ransom's mother and my mother in the seat on the side. I also saw Ransom looking at me seriously. I felt a stomach ache when I moved a little. My mother stopped me and supported me.

"Don't move, daughter," she said gently.

"What happened, mom? Is my baby okay?," I replied, crying.

"Shhhh, don't worry baby is safe. Your daughter is safe,"my mother said, smiling, but she was obviously crying too.

"I gave birth?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Cesarean. You need to perform a Cesarean just like the doctor did because of the baby's condition. Her heartbeat is weak so she will be taken care of in their care,"the mother said sadly

.

My world collapsed when I heard from my mother. I begged that I would go see my daughter. But Ransom's mother spoke seriously.

"You're not good yet, Camilla. I hope this time you think about yourself first. Your baby needs you so get stronger first and rest,"she said calmly.

Meanwhile, Ransom is just reading the newspaper. He doesn't seem to really care about me. But I still don't lose hope that he will treat me well now that we have a child. He noticed my glance at him and he came closer to me as our eyes met at that time.

"How are you feeling, Love?" he asked.

I'm not even surprised by the sweetness he's showing me now. I know he's just pretending to be nice in front of our mothers.

"I'm fine," I answered.

"Don't worry because the doctor said we can bring the baby home tomorrow," he said with a smile.

"I'm going to name her Yumi," I replied with a smile.

"Beautiful,. Anyway, Congratulations to both of us, Love" he said with a smile.

This man is really good at pretending. Our mothers smiled at the lie he told. They don't know my real situation with my arrogant husband. But even so, I'm still happy because our child is safe.

A few moments later the doctor came in and I was depressed when Yumi probably had to stay for a few days to observe her condition. They said the child's heart beat was too weak so she was still under observation.

"Let's just pray for baby's speedy recovery,"the Doctor said with a smile.

"Please do everything you can, Doc. Heal my baby," I cried.

"Calm down, Mrs. Crosby. I will assure you that we will do our best to save your baby," he assured me.

"We are ready to pay any amount, Doc." Ransom's mother said seriously.

I felt a mixture of worry and fear at that time. I was uneasy, thinking about my baby's condition.

A few moments later, Ransom's mother said goodbye, and a few minutes later he said goodbye, too. My mother frowned and was surprised when Ransom left me here at the hospital.

"How could Ransom leave you here?!" she asked firmly.

"You are here, mom," I answered.

"What if I'm not here? You're alone?" she asked with a frown.

I held my breath at what she said and looked for an alibi to defend Ransom.

I looked for excuses that I could make to her because I didn't want her to think badly of Ransom.

"Mom, he has to go to work early tomorrow." I alibi.

"You know that's not a valid reason, daughter. His father owns the company, and he can take leave if he wants to. It's an emergency case and you're his wife," my mother insisted.

"Mom, let it go. His work is more important to us because our livelihood depends on it. He is the one who will raise and provide us, so he should just take care of his work," I answered.

"You didn't get my point, Mila. But anyway, rest first. You really need to take a rest," she said.

I just held my breath at what my mother said. I know I'm a fool to defend Ransom in her eyes. I know it's wrong to lie to my own mother. But I have no choice because it will be more difficult for me if my mother finds out the truth. I don't want to destroy my relationship with my arrogant husband. Despite what he did to me, I still can't destroy our family. Our daughter needs him so I'm ready to do everything to make our family whole.

I didn't realize that I fell asleep because of the tiredness I felt at that time.

My body is still weak and I haven't been able to move properly.

The next day I woke up and saw my mother preparing food on the table. She looked at me with a smile and came closer. She was holding a bowl with only porridge and offered it to me.

"Eat first so you have strength. It's delicious, Son," she said with a smile.

I smiled and realized to myself how lucky I was to have my mother. I could feel her care during those times. But I still couldn't help but look for Ransom. I was still waiting for him to come back but even I did not see his shadow.

"What time are they coming here,"my mom asked.

"Maybe later, Mom. After work I'm sure they'll go straight here," I said with a smile.

"It should be!" Mother answered firmly.

I can't help but be nervous because I'm not sure when they will come back here. Maybe when I get out of the hospital. I don't really know, so I don't know how long I can hide my real situation with my husband.

I can't wait for him and I pray that he will come. I still believe that there is still hope for him to change. I still hope that he will change for our child.

"Mom, trust me. He will come later after his work," I convinced her.

"I believe,Mila. I saw how much your husband loved you and maybe I just thought badly of him because of what I experienced with your father before. You already know it," she replied.

"I understand you, mom," I said gently.

"Until now, I still can't forgive my father for leaving us," I added.

I heard her sigh at what I said. I know that until now she still hasn't moved on from, my father leaving us. It's not really easy to forget that because even I don't know if I can forgive him.

This is the reason why I endure and sacrifice because I don't want my child to experience what I experienced before. It's better for me to be hurt than to hurt my child who doesn't even have the guts to fight.

"I promise to myself that I will not let what happened to me happen to Yumi, Mom.

I want our family to be complete so please trust my husband as well, mom" I begged.

My mother nodded and smiled at me. I know how overprotective she is of me; that's why she can say the same thing. I can't blame her, so I'll be patient as long as I can because I don't want to give her any trouble.

A few moments later, the door to the room suddenly opened and we both looked in. And we were very surprised by what we saw.
