Chapter 39

As I recover my breath, I rise and sat. When I turned my head, I noticed Ava's frightened expression. They turned the light on, and the room was no longer dark. I rubbed my moist forehead and wiped it wet. "Are you all right? You will not wake up, no matter how hard I try to wake you up. Did you have a bad dream?" Her gentle words soothed my racing heart. I was even more relieved by the realization that it was just a dream. Maybe I was just too tired because of the number of things that had happened. But my dream was looking so real and scary. When I looked at the clock, I saw it was just dawn. I wondered why Ava was here. She might get sick or have an accident going here. "Why are you here? It's dangerous to stay awake when you're pregnant." I smiled at her. Even the word pregnant is also hard to come out of my mouth. Who would be happy if with every word, every move, every blink of your eyes - you remember nothing but the child you would have been happy to be with in the future.
