Silvia's worry eventually became a reality. However, she really could not help it. She was on a ten-hour flight from Chatterton Town and upon landing, she immediately rushed to the hospital. On top of that, she had been taking care of Felix ever since.
She was so busy that she did not get to sleep for the whole day. Now that she was lying in Jayden's warm embrace, Silvia fell into deep slumber almost instantly.
"Master Jayden..." Carson wanted to say something but Jayden stopped him. Jayden waved his hand, gesturing for Carson to leave the room. Hence, Carson had no choice but to pack up and leave.
Carson bumped into Mrs. Turner, who was waiting anxiously on the first floor. Mrs. Turner asked with a worried face, "Doctor, are they alright?"
Carson said, "Yes, it's just some recurring illness. I've already given Master Jayden an antipyretic jab, so he's in a stable condition now. As for Miss Turner, she has always been in good health and she's asleep now."
Knowing that her daughter and son- in- law were fine, Mrs. Turner was relieved. "Well, it's good that they're all right. I'm really sorry for having to trouble you on such a snowy night."
Carson was a man of few words, so instead of replying to Mrs. Turner, he nodded his head and left with his elite bag in his hand.
Seeing that Mrs. Turner was a little embarrassed, Auntie Cherry stood forward to ease the awkwardness. "Mrs. Turner, Dr. York is this cold to everyone, please don't take it to heart."
"Not at all, Auntie Cherry. All I want is for my children to be fine." In fact, Mrs. Turner did not mind Dr. York's cold attitude at all. She only hoped that Dr. York could do his best to care for Jayden and Silvia.
"Ring..."
Jayden's mobile phone rang all of a sudden. He hurriedly silenced the call and glanced at Silvia, who was sleeping in his embrace. It was only when he saw that she was not woken up by the sudden phone call that he slowly relaxed his furrowed brows.
The call was from Simon Banks. Jayden knew that it must be something urgent, otherwise, he would have just declined the call instead of muting it.
The matter that Simon was going to report to him was confidential and he must not let Silvia know about it, so he had to answer the call outside. Jayden gently pushed Silvia out of his arms. However, the moment he moved, Silvia was woken up. She said in a daze, "Jayden, don't go, don't leave me behind..."
"It's alright, it's alright, I'm not going anywhere..." Jayden coaxed her but Silvia did not respond. Jayden realized that she was still asleep. She was having a nightmare and calling his name, asking him not to leave...
Jayden sat back down and held her in his arms. He gently stroked her back to comfort her. "I'm here, Silvia. I'll be here with you. Don't be afraid!"
"I'm sorry, Jayden!" Tears suddenly rolled down from the corner of Silvia's eyes. She was crying in her dream. She was crying so sorrowfully that it tugged at Jayden's heartstrings.
Silvia, who was having nightmares, said repeatedly, "It's my fault. It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on going on the roller coaster, we wouldn't have lost our child."
The moment Jayden heard what Silvia said, his body became so stiff as if it was under a magic spell. He thought that he had hidden it well, but little did he know that Silvia had already found out about her miscarriage.
It turned out that she had already known the truth.
In other words, the smiles that she had on her face for these past few days were just a disguise. Behind that smile, there was immense guilt and self-blame.
Why was this woman so silly?
