Chapter 448: Love Lost (Trigger Warning.Sorry)

"We need to talk." Olivia looked at Seb as he said the same thing as her at the same time, before grinning. She looked at the sun outside and decided it was a good day. She had fearfed that Seb might not return at night, choosing to stay with the woman who had summoned him but he had returned to her last night, smelling of whiskey but not of any woman’s perfume.

Her own resolved last night, about winning his heart made her feel better. She just needed to tell him that she had never taken Elijah Frost’s money in return for giving him up. She had not sold their love jusr so she could get a foreign education.

And when Seb told her that she could talk first, her eyebrows rose in surprise. He was actually willing to let her talk? Which side did the sun rise today?

"Seb. I was thinking about the future of our relationship."

Seb paused in the middle of taking a bite of his toast and she waited for him to try and take over the conversation. When he didn’t, she was surprised and continued carefully, " I agree that we do not love each other but we have love for this...ahh..."

Concern washed over him as she doubled over suddenly. "Olivia, what’s wrong? Are you okay?" His brows furrowed with worry as he watched her closely.

Olivia winced, her hand instinctively moving to her abdomen. "I... I’m not sure," she managed, her voice strained. The cramps were intensifying, gripping her like vice claws. She tried to steady her breathing, but the pain was becoming unbearable.

Immediately, he walked around the table to her side, holding her shoulders carefully," OIivia."

Olivia’s face paled with each passing moment as she held Seb’s hand, whispering slowly," Seb... doctor."

Urgently, Seb grabbed his phone, making the call," Tell the medical team at the hospital to be ready. We’re leaving now and reaching in five."

Carefully, he picked up Olivia from the chair, his heart racing as he glimpsed the red on the chair. MAking sure that she wouldn’t see anything, he raced out of the room, towards the helipad, where his security team was already preparing to leave.

Olivia clung to him, her condition seemingly worsening with each passing moment as they flew towards the mainland. Seb could only watch helplessly as she was transferred onto a strecher, where she lay pale and still, her breaths shallow and labored.

As they would have taken her into the examination area, Olivia looked at him,as if seeking his reassurance. And he gave her," Everything will be fine, Livia. You’ll survive this."

Seb paced the waiting area, his thoughts consumed by worry for her. He couldn’t bear the thought of losing her, not after everything they had been through and the decision he had come to. A part of him worried for their baby but...

No. He shook his head. He would not think about this, for now.

Moments passed like an eternity, each moment dragging on with agonizing slowness. His anxiety only grew as he waited for news of Olivia’s condition. Finally, a doctor emerged from the ER, and he rushed forward to meet him.

"How is she?" he asked, his voice trembled with emotion.

The doctor offered him a small smile of reassurance. "They’re both stable for now, Seb," he said. "But we need to run some tests to determine the cause of her symptoms. And you need to be careful in the future, especially considering the pregnancy was almost lost."

Seb nodded weakly, still assimiliating to the fact that they had not lost their baby.

The doctor looked at Seb and continued," For the next few months, she needs to be on complete bed rest. You need to make sure that she does not have any sort of unnecessary simulation. And remember, stress can be particularly harmful during pregnancy. You need to ensure she remains calm and relaxed at all times until the pregnancy is more stable."

Seb absorbed the doctor’s words, his mind racing with worry for Olivia and their unborn child. "Of course, doctor. I’ll make sure she gets the rest she needs, no matter what," he vowed, his voice filled with determination even as a small part of him blamed himself for almost causing this.

As he slowly stepped into her room, he felt fear. Would she hate him for almost causing her to lose their baby?

Before he could say anything, he heard her broken sobs as her whole body trembling with emotion. Feeling his heart wrench, he quickly walked over to her. "Livi. Why are you crying?"

"Seb, I’m so sorry," she choked out between sobs. "I’m sorry we lost our baby. I’m sorry..."

Seb’s heart shattered at her words, "No, Livi," he whispered fiercely, his voice filled with conviction. "We didn’t lose our baby. Its safe. We’re going to keep it safe, I promise."

Olivia looked up at him, her eyes wide with disbelief. "But the pain, Seb... I thought..."

Seb shook his head, cutting her off gently. "The doctor said they’re stable for now. We just need to be careful, take things one step at a time," he reassured her, his voice unwavering.

Slowly, Olivia’s sobs began to subside, replaced by a sense of relief. She buried her face in Seb’s chest, clinging to him as if he were her lifeline. "Thank you," she whispered, her voice muffled against his shirt.

Seb held her close, pressing a tender kiss to the top of her head. "Don’t worry, Olivia. Everything will be alright in the future." Even as she lay in his arms, Seb wiped his own tears and made a vow that he would make sure that Olivia would never have to suffer because of him again.

Once they were home, he would employee the best people to take care of her and their baby. He would make sure that she suffered for nothing. As for stress... there was only one reason for her stress and he would simply take that out of the equation.. Himself.
