His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

Chapter 105 – The reason behind her illness.



A devilish smile didn’t fail to crawl to his face as he attempted to pull the trigger, but all of a sudden, all the armed men in the place pointed their guns towards him, shocking everyone except Don and his personal guards.

“You should also get one thing straight, no one escapes my wrath when they look for it.” Don finally voiced out with a dangerous smirk.

Rex and Draco were also freed, and they joined the multitude of boys to pointing guns at Pablo. Pablo, whose face was now filled with confusion and shock, gently dropped his hand by his side.

“Do you really think that you were the only one with the plans here?” Don’s mind flashed back to how he replaced the men that were meant to support Pablo with his.

It wasn’t an easy thing to do but it was still worth it, especially since it had to with getting Pablo away from Lillian’s life forever.

“What is happening now?” Pablo glanced around him, his mind trying not to accept that he was already outsmarted.

This wasn’t what he had planned. So how was this happening?

“Exactly what you think it is. I actually exchanged yours with mine to give you false hope. You might have started this game, but I’ll definitely end it.” Don replied with an unreadable expression.

“Where are my boys?”

“You mean the ones you borrowed from a foreign gangster?” Don raised a brow, and slowly smirked.

But this only angered Pablo the more, as he yelled, “What the hell did you do to them?”

“I didn’t do much. I just held them down on their way and sent them back, the same thing I would be doing to you, though yours would be to hell.”

“To hell with you too!” Pablo yelled with frustration, ready to fire his gun at Don, but someone beat him to it.

It was Rex who shot his arm, making Pablo drop the gun while holding his shot arm. In the next second, he was on the floor, groaning as some boys rushed to hold him down before he would make another move.

Don quickly held Lillian who almost collapsed when the gunshot sounded, and he hugged her.

“It’s all over now.” He coed into her ear and rubbed her back.

He made sure to block her view, preventing her from watching how his boys were obviously manhandling Pablo by now because of how loud his screams became.

After a while, his screams slowly faded into the air, and it was just Don and Lillian in the building. That was when Don disengaged from the hug.

He cupped her face in his hands and stared into her eyes, “Thank you for holding on.” He planted a kiss on her forehead.

Lillian was dumbstruck for a moment, but it didn’t last as the cramps hit her again, and she screamed, louder than before.

“What’s wrong? Is it the pains again?” Don asked when she slid to sit on the floor with her hands placed on her tummy.

“Yes.” Lillian gasped in-between hot tears then she glanced down at her thighs to see a few blood drops trickling down.

“Doc, What happened to her? Will she be fine?” Don asked with his hands rubbing each other on the doctor’s desk.

He admitted that he had never been this nervous before, but there he was, feeling like his heart would stop any moment from then because of how fast it was beating.

“Yes, Dr., we need to know.” Bella added, standing behind her brother also with a worried look.

After hearing what happened and how Lillian fell unconscious on their way to the hospital actually scared her to the bones, that ever since, her mind hasn’t been at rest. She wasn’t on her seat, and that was how she could control her anxiety.

“She is fine and out of danger now. Though, we admit the situation could have worsened if she had bled more than that, as it would have harmed the baby.” The doctor rounded up his speech with a keen gaze on the people in front of him.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Their astonished faces didn’t fail to grab his attention.

“Oh, right! None of you knew she was pregnant.” He quickly added, more of a statement than a question.

“She’s pregnant.” Bella repeated absentmindedly then, slowly, a smile formed on her face.

Her long awaiting moment was here! So, that was why she’d been sick for a few days now? They could have gone to the hospital sooner to run some tests if only she’d known sooner.

“Dr., I hope they are both fine now.” She uttered, finally taking a seat.

Her facial expression was filled with joy, and it made the doctor smile back.

“Yes. With the few tests we ran on her, she and the baby are both fine. Although, we still have to monitor them for a few more days before she can be discharged.”

“Can we see her now?” Don finally asked dryly.

“Sure, but that would be when she wakes up. I’ll inform you when she is conscious.”

“Oh my goodness! You’re awake.” Bella shrieked in joy as soon as she walked into the ward.

Fortunately, Lillian was the only patient in the ward. Immediately, she ran to engulf Lillian in a tight hug, and Lillian didn’t hesitate to reciprocate the hug until it became too tight, and she groaned out lightly.

“Sorry! I got too carried away by my emotion.” Bella disengaged instantly with an apology and wiped a tear from her eyelid.

Lillian smiled and glanced at her parents, who had also come in with Bella, including her brother.

“Oh my baby!” Mrs. Blake cried as she wrapped her hands around her daughter in an affectionate hug.

“I almost thought that I would lose you to death.” She added, this time with tears rolling down her eyes.

Lillian shut her eyes for a moment, letting her tears roll down. It was all worth it. Her prayers and wishes, they were never in vain.

Finally, she was in safe hands, around the people who could actually protect her.

“I missed you too, Mom. I also thought that I would never see your faces again, but thankfully, that didn’t happen.” Lillian disengaged from the hug with a tearful smile.

“We apologize for hiding his identity from you. We just didn’t want you to live in fear all your life, and only wanted a way to get him out of our lives without hurting anyone.” Mr. Blake voiced out after many thoughts, his head lowered to the ground.

His words made Lillian heave a sigh, and his wife shifted backwards a little. She was also scared of her reaction, even though she tried to conceal it with a smile.

Mr. and Mrs. Blake felt guilty of everything their daughter passed through right from birth and were deeply sorry that they almost couldn’t protect her.

Sir. Jeffrey guessed she was obviously mad at him, so he quickly added, “We know we don’t deserve your forgiveness, but we hope you’ll find it in your heart to forgive us for all the lies and pains we’ve taken you through.”

He wanted to say everything there before his daughter would probably burst out in anger and ask them out of the ward. That was the only chance he could take at the moment.

Lillian exhaled sharply again and bit her lips in silence. This thought had actually crossed her mind, but she didn’t really think much into it.

Yes, the situation was worth angry for, but what could she do? The fact that they lied to her face when she asked the other day made her want to harbor some malice towards them, but…..

“You’re definitely correct. I have every right to, but I won’t. Besides, the situation doesn’t call for it. Pablo’s hatred wasn’t justified, he only took things too far, so there will be no need to ask for an apology. I understand.” Lillian rounded up her statement and that earned her a group hug by her family except for Bella who just stood there in smiles.

What a wonderful family Lillian had! She’d wish her family was as complete and caring as Lillian’s, but it seemed it was her fate after all. She’d undoubtedly learned to deal with it.

The family disengaged and Fred chuckled out, “That was so touching!” He joked with a smile and Lillian rolled her eyes, still with the smile as she began to wipe her tears.

“But you’re crying too much. You really don’t want to sink your baby, do you?” He raised a brow and tilted his head.

Lillian’s hands subconsciously stopped on her cheek as she lifted her gaze slowly to rest on her brother.

“What baby?”

“Goodness! We were meant to tell her when my brother arrives.” Bella almost landed a hit on Fred’s back, though playfully but retreated.

She understood why he went against the plan.

“I wasn’t there when that plan was made.” He defended himself.

“My question hasn’t been answered yet.” Lillian reminded.

Her gaze was moving from her parents to the other duo in the ward.

Bella heaved a sigh and went to sit beside her. “Your baby. The doctor confirmed that you were pregnant. I think that’s the reason you’ve been feeling weird these days.”

Lillian didn’t know if to be happy or not. No matter how she let only Bella’s words sink into her, her mind couldn’t help to flash back to Eva’s pregnancy saga.

What if hers was also rejected for the same reason?
