chapter 173

As soon as Daniel saw Zane, he smiled tiredly.

"You look like you weren't almost killed. Glad to see I'm the only one still laying on my bed" Daniel

muttered sarcastically making Zane chuckle.

Zane walked up to him and slapped on the shoulder which made Daniel groan loudly.

"Zane, he's not well" Kiara uttered before Heather could say anything.

“That's for finding out that you had feelings for Kiara" Kiara gasped while Heather immediately

stared at her feet as her cheeks turned red

"Zane please, I..."

"Why did you never tell me?" Daniel scoffed

“So you could kill me? Besides, now that I think about it, I didn't like her romantically, I just liked the

kind of person she was but was so confused at that time that I..." His eyes darted towards Heather

who was still staring at her feet.

“Well I'm glad to see you're awake but it took you long enough” Zane muttered as he sat down on

the bed. Daniel stared at him suspiciously.

“You are not as angry as I thought you would be if you found out I liked Kiara" Zane sighed.

"Well even if you like her, there's nothing you can do about it and right now, I have other things to

worry about” Daniel frowned at the tone of Zane's voice then he glanced at Kiara before turning

back to Zane.

“Is something wrong?" Kiara walked up to Zane and placed her hand on his shoulder.

"You should get better first, Daniel. Now is not the time to worry you about our problems. Has the

doctor checked up on him?" Kiara questioned as she turned to Heather who nodded.

"Yes and they said everything is okay" Kiara nodded then turned to Zane and was about to say

something when she suddenly groaned.

Zane immediately stood up from the bed as he towered over her.

"Kiara? What's wrong? Does it hurt?" He questioned hurriedly as he grabbed onto her hand. She

opened her mouth to speak but instead, an agonizing scream came out.

Zane immediately lifted her off the floor as he rushed towards the door.

"Heather, get the doctor immediately” Zane muttered as he rushed out of the room with a

screaming Kiara in his arms

"What the fuck is going on?" Daniel questioned but was ignored by all of them which made him

sigh. What the heck was going on? What had he missed?

Zane placed Kiara on the bed then grabbed the cooling gel and rubbed it on her stomach which

had gotten a little bump but it wasn't that obvious.

"Just breathe, okay?" He muttered as he rubbed it on her belly but she just screamed the more.

“It hurts Zane, I can't take it" She uttered as she cried. Just then, the doctor came in with a syringe

and before Zane could question him about it, he injected Kiara's arm with it.

“What did you give her? Pain reliever?" The doctor shook his head then sighed.

"I gave her anesthesia. No amount of pain reliever can help her with the pain but at least sleep can”

Zane frowned as he glanced at Kiara and noticed her eyes were beginning to droop but she was still

crying.

"Zane" She called out his name and he was immediately by her side.

“I'm here, my love. Don't panic, I'm here” He murmured softly as he kissed her face.

“I'm so sorry about worrying you this way. I really don't want to stress you" He frowned.

“Shhh you're not stressing me, okay? This child is ours and your problem is my problem, okay? Now

stop fighting the anesthesia and let it do its job, okay?" He murmured and she nodded as her eyes

began to close slowly.

After a while, she had fallen asleep and the screams and cries had stopped which made Zane heave

a sigh of relief.

“It will get to a stage in her pregnancy that I won't be able to give this to her anymore so she's just

going to have to get through the pain" The doctor muttered earning a sigh from Zane.

“Doctor, what is your take on this? Do you think she can survive with the babies?" Zane asked softly

and the doctor sighed.

“There is a chance but that chance is very slim right now, almost nonexistent. I'm sorry to say this

but if you want to save her, then you both have to get rid of the babies. I know this is something

that no parent wants to hear but it's the only way unless a miracle happens” Zane sighed as he

dragged his palm along his face before nodding.

“Thank you doctor" The doctor nodded then walked out of the room, leaving Zane, Heather and

Kiara there.

Heather moved closer as she sat on the other side of Kiara's bed.

"What are you going to do?" He abruptly stood up from the bed then walked towards the door.

"Watch over her. I need to clear my head" He muttered. As soon as he opened the door, he found

Levi outside.

“I heard that..." Before Levi could complete his sentence, Zane walked out on him.

“Levi please can you go after him? I don't know what he’s planning to do but he can't hurt himself.

Just make sure he doesn't do anything stupid” Levi sighed then nodded before following behind

Zane.

“You do know that you're not fully healed yet and you still need a lot of bed rest, right?" Levi uttered

as soon as he was close enough to Zane.

“Shut your trap, I don't need your lecture” Zane pulled out his key from his pocket and as soon as

he unlocked the car, Levi climbed into the passenger seat with a smile on his face.

"So where are we going, cousin?" Zane groaned.

"Get out," Levi scoffed.

"Oh come on, you know you need a friend right now and since Daniel can't be there for you at the

moment, I'll fill in. Come on, let's go" Zane groaned loudly as he reluctantly got into the car.

“Just keep your mouth shut and don't talk till you're spoken to" Levi rolled his eyes.

"Yeah yeah, sure. Start the road trip" Zane sighed as he started the car.

“This is going to be a long drive"...
