CHAPTER 41

…………………………………………

Phew! Half a year has passed. And I haven't updated for such a long time that I have forgotten what I have written. Ah well. Make do with this chapter?

…………………………………………

Lizzie's head spun wildly as images of Miranda's shocked face whirled around her eyes.

"Help me, 'Randa, I can't see a thing!" she clutched her stomach and attempted to sit up.

"LIZZIE." Gordo yelled as he hurled into the room. Seeing her face contorted in pain and her clammy face, he rushed to her and dropped to his knees.

Miranda turned savagely on Gordo, an unbelievable response started on her lips.

"If something happens to Lizzie, or her baby, it's you I'll first go after."

…………………………………………

The machine beeped.

The patient unconscious.

"Mr. Gordon, your wife is in much pain. The baby is battling inside her, and what did you do to upset her so much?"

Miranda shook her head.

"THE BABY, DAVID, THE BABY." She screamed, tears filling her cold eyes.

Gordo was taken aback. This was the first time she had called him "David".

Kate, shaken, reached over to give Gordo a tight slap.

Gordo was bowled over. The stinging pain in his cheek reminded him of his choice, his unchangeable choice.

Kate bit her lip. "I always thought you were a good man, David, but it turns out that I've been shamed. How could you? How could you?"

Gordo sputtered in anger, still reeling from the shock. "This did not happen on my own accord, okay? Do you think I would wish Lizzie to be in any form of danger? For Pete's Sake, she's my wife."

"She might be your wife, a good one in fact, but what about you? A good husband?" Miranda shot back, her voice trembling with hurt. "You think that I would give up my one true love to see how his wife gets mistreated?"

Gordo's eyes widened in shock. "You-"

"Yes, I did. You two were in love, I was constantly the third wheel. Didn't you think I wouldn't get jealous? Especially if I also felt the same way?"

Kate glanced briefly at the unconscious Lizzie. "I do not think this is a great time to announce unexpected love triangles, 'Rand. Let the guy do his thing. We shall leave him to think about what he has done."

"To think that I actually barred my true feelings. If I were Lizzie, I would definitely rethink the wedding vows. 'Till death do we part'." Miranda snorted in scorn.

Miranda stared ominously at the distraught Gordo. She slung her bag over her shoulder, pecked Lizzie on her forehead, before sweeping out of the room, without a backward glance.
