Chapter 178: Chapter 178

Barbara open her eyes slowly, she is still feeling weak and dizzy. But it was nothing compared the loud sound of those gun shot. She couldn't remember what exactly happened before she passed out, all she could remember was Dante shielding that bullet from getting to her. She got worried that something bad must have happened to Dante.

As Dante been shot? She saw Claudia grabbed that gun, she was aiming at her, Dante had hugged her tight and whispered, I love you very much.

Oh my God! You finally awake. Kathleen gasped then hurry to get the doctor but Barbara held her wrist.

Li Jun! Where is Li Jun? She whispered in her weak state, Kathleen caressed her hair and give her a reassuring smile, that smiled show that Dante is save but she is still curious.

Hey lover, he is fine, he is talking to the cops. He will be back here in some few minutes, you two are safe, you just passed out because you're stressed and... Kathleen paused them look at Barbara.

And what?

It's nothing to worry about, it's actually good news, your dad is fine as well and he will be here soon.

Where is Gordon? How is he? I know he was shot. She try to stand up.

You should relaxed, you wouldn't want my baby playmate to get hurt, as it's, you almost had a miscarriage.

Miscarriage?

I didn't say you had one, you almost did, it's a good thing, you were rescue fast, you are still in the very early stage of it and the doctor advice that you shouldn't stress, you have to be strong for the baby.

Barbara bit her lips. She can't believe that the stupid alibi turned out to be real, those times, she was faking her constant throw up, was not because she was about to have her monthly flow, it was normal for her to throw up during her period not knowing it's her morning sickness.

Do Li Jun already know? She asked still worried since Kathleen haven't answer her questions about Gordon.

Yes, he is overly excited, he keeps kissing you on your unconscious state, he wasn't even planning to leave your side for a second but the police needed his statement but not to worry, he will be back soon.

Barbara is about to go back to her question when the door open, making the two women turned their gaze back to the door.

I'll get the doctor. Kathleen said.

Thanks, and careful, I won't want Jayden to have my head on a plate for stressing his pregnant wife.

Stop teasing me. Kathleen said and hurry out.

My love, doesn't is it still hurt? Are you fine now? Dante asked while kissing her forehead

Yes, just a bit dizzy, Kathleen said we are expecting a baby.

Yes, we are going to be parents, I am really excited..

Wait! Where is my cousin?

Not to worry, the doctor said he will wake up soon, the operation was successful, the bullet had been taken out of his system, it's a good thing that it didn't hit any of his vital organs.

I need to see him, who is with him?

Come on love, you don't want to put our baby In danger, Sally is beside him, she didn't want to leave his side, she wants to be the first person he sees when he wakes up.

And you, I thought I saw mother, she grabbed the gun, she...

No! She thought, Claudia was dead, she didn't aim at us, I thought she was going to shoot at us, so I covered you with mine, it turns out that she took her own life

What? Barbara yelled.

Probably felt that her only daughter is dead, she can't live without Claudia, she can't do anything without her supposed only child, she felt no reason to live when Claudia is no more. It's just his assumption, he too thought that Hazel was going to shoot at them, so he shield her with his body.

After the loud bang he felt nothing, so he turned around only to see Hazel on the pool of her blood, Barbara was left shock, she can't believe that Hazel will end her life this way.

Barbara tears drop, the woman was the only person she knows as a mother for years, it's only nature that she felt sorry for her.

Not to worry, Claudia only lost consciousness, she is not dead, she is stable now, it turns out that her operation was also successful, your grandfather is with her. Although she lost alot of blood but she is stable. Dante explained but he could sense that she still had questions about her birth mother, he really don't know if he could bring it up.

That woman, where is she? Barbara still couldn't bring herself to call that woman her mother. She asked, seeing Dante facial expressions, she could tell that the woman didn't survive, Barbara tears drop all of a sudden, for some reason she felt obligated to the woman, she is not supposed to feel anything for this woman but right now, she is crying for her.

I want to see her! Where is she? Tell me. Her tears continue to fall, she could recall that the woman took so many bullet while trying to protect Barbara, the very woman that hurt her was the one, who save her at the end.

I am sorry, she die at the spot, she didn't make it, she is presently at the morgue.

Barbara closed her eyes all, she could remember was the woman protecting her, she had hurt her in the past but she doesn't have an ideal of what happened during her childhood, all she could remember is that woman that wants to protect her. Derrick had lost his life too.

I am sorry, sorry, I can't protect her... Dante try to apologize, Barbara would want to get to know her real mother, probably Camille would had right her wrong, the woman was already remorseful of her actions.

You should stop saying that, the good thing, is that the both of us are safe now, we can start afresh and we are soon going to parents.

Dante is about to lock lips with his wife when the door open, Kathleen and Jayden walked in.

Hey bro! You don't want to tire her out. Jayden tease him, he hit Jayden's shoulder.

I am not doing anything.

I know, your sister was right, she said you are a fast shooter. Kathleen comment make everyone laughed.

Did you know I was teasing Derrick with pregnancy prank and it turns out that it was truth, I couldn't believe that I am expecting a baby.

You should, father will be so excited to hear the news, he keeps asking uncle if you two had consummate.

Kathleen! Jayden call her, she turned and look Jayden. She knows that look on Jayden face.

Are you calling me a talkative? She said sulking, Jayden circle her in his hand and kissed her head.

Sorry, I really don't want our baby and you, stress.

Fine, I will forgive you but I want a nice spa.

Like now?

Yes!

But...

Oh! I knew you don't love me.

I do, why will you say that?

You are calling me a liar. Kathleen cry, Dante look at Barbara then Jayden, who is now trying to make Kathleen stop crying.

I am sorry, we have to leave. Jayden goes with his wife.

What was that? Dante asked. Pregnancy sickness. Barbara comment, his face go dark, remembering his wife is also pregnant.

Come on hon! You have nothing to worry about, I will not crave for that, I will only let you give me body massage, I really want one now.

Love!

Come on...

Please not here.

Then let's go home.

Holy shit! He curse, Barbara pout. Fine! He said with a tight teeth, Barbara could feel his frustration but she doesn't care, she just want the man body against hers.
