Selena''s nerves kicked in instantly. "Dr. Carrillo, there''s nothing wrong with the baby, is there?"


    Everett looked up too, his sharp gaze fixing on Dr. Carrillo. "If there''s something to say, just spill it."


    "Rx," Dr. Carrillo reassured them first, before taking his time to exin. "The baby''s fine, but it''s you two who need to worry about yourselves."All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Just look at those dark circles. How many nights have you gone without proper sleep? Pregnant women need to rest well and stay calm. How can you do that if you''re gued by nightmares every night?"


    Selena''s face fell as she mumbled, "Dr. Carrillo, I want to sleep well, but every time I close my eyes, the nightmarese. I always dream I''ve fallen, lying there in a pool of blood, and then there''s so much blood, and I lose the baby..." "Okay, okay, let''s not dwell on that," Dr. Carrillo said, his brow creasing as he tried tofort Selena. He then turned to Everett, paused a moment, and gave his thoughts.


    "Mr. Everett, I can handle physical health issues, but emotional wounds are beyond my expertise."


    "Still, from what I''ve seen over the years, while Mrs. Bet''s case isn''t dire, it can''t be ignored either. She''s just feeling really uneasy about her surroundings. The fix is actually quite straightforward." Everett signaled for him to continue.


    Dr. Carrillo simply said, "A change of scenery would help. Sometimes, a change is as good as medicine for the soul."


    A change of scenery?


    Everett''s eyes flickered with a subtle realization. After seeing Dr. Carrillo out, Selena leaned back against the bed for a while, then softly spoke up, "Everett, I can''t stay here anymore. I''m constantly on edge, scared that something might happen to the baby again. I can''t handle tosing


    another one..."


    He moved over to sit beside her, gently stroking her cheek. "Selena, what happened that day won''t happen again."


    Selena knew he was talking about


    the incident when Margot had purposely pushed her. She looked up into his deep eyes, her voice


    "Are you sure it won''t happen again?"


    Everett felt a pang in his heart, ready to say more when Selena ced her hand over his lips. "Everett, let me finish," she said, her longshes casting a faint shadow that masked her emotions.


    Her voice was soft, "You can''t bring yourself to deal with Margot, and you won''t send her away. That upsets me, but I''m done pushing you to choose. I just can''t stay in the same city as her. Just thinking about her makes me uneasy, afraid she''ll suddenly show up and do something to our child."


    "Everett, for our child''s sake, I''m willing topromise. I''ll leave first and go abroad to wait for you. Wasn''t that your n before?"


    Selena''s eyes shimmered with sincerity. "Let me go first, okay?"


    Whenever she pleaded with him like that, Everett''s resolve usually melted, and he''d agree to her wishes.


    But letting her leave first...


    His brow furrowed as he pulled her hand away, speaking in a low voice, "Every time you leave my side, something happens. I just feel..."


    But before he could voice his refusal, Selena''s lips met his, silencing himpletely.
