Chapter 282 - He's scared

After getting to the country the next day, she was stunned to discover that Austin's corpse has been cleaned up and neatly laid down, with a white cover on top of him.

For some reason, she cried in relief and couldn't help but said her thanks to Nathan in her heart. It hasn't started decomposing, but his lips has turned purple, with his body slightly swollen.

She sat quietly beside him, and rant on and on about how she begged him to let Diana be and all.

After crying and shouting to her fill, she finally decided to take care of the corpse, before it becomes hard to get into the ground with ease,  because it must have gotten heavy already.

...

Inside a beautiful Villa on an island, Diana was beautifully laid on a kingsize bed, with her stomach slightly developed than usual, but her eyes remained closed.

It's been months and she hasn't woken up. Sitting beside her and dressed in a matching outfit as her was Ethan.

He was carefully arranging her hair, with a smile on his face. He's not going to break down and let her wake up, not having to worry about him.

After returning from taking his bath at the hospital, he ate his food under Chris's persuasion and took over in watching over Diana.

He waited for her to wake up, but she didn't. He had no idea she become like that because of the attack overnight, which Chris pleaded with the doctors in charge not to mention it.

He knew he will start worrying again and neglect his health, but inquire about Diana's health and was told she will surely wake up. They just need to perform the second surgery as soon as possible.

Ethan didn't get to discuss the fetus's life and death with Diana, since she didn't wake up.

Since he has made up his mind to take her away, he decided to keep the baby and let Diana stay under medical attention till delivery like the doctor said.

He asked why she didn't wake up, but he was assured that she will, as she's out of the dangerous stage that could make her to never wake up.

After the second surgery, series of tests were carried out and Ethan was glad he didn't chicken out and asked for the baby to be aborted, because instead of being bedridden, he was told there's 89% chances that she's going to be able to move around, after she woke up.

The doctor admitted to Ethan that the woman is a strong person and Ethan couldn't agree more.

After everything is settled, they make arrangements for the doctor that will take care of her and some nurses till she woke up.

There are three nurses and a doctor, including Ethan, Chris and Diana. The seven of them flew to Ethan's private island, where he decided to hide her and keep her to himself alone.

Chris was told not to reveal the place to anyone, but doesn't have to lie if the family members asked about him, since he wouldn't want them to worry.

He bought a new phone , which only Chris had the number, and Chris stayed for a week to make sure Ethan can control himself, before taking his leave, and left the couple alone.

It was a awkward situation, because his friend is going to be a father, but the condition of the mother and baby, couldn't make them talk about it. He didn't even know whether to say his congrats or not. He contemplated about it till he left the place.

The doctor would come every weekend to check on her health, while the three nurses take turns in staying for a week and swap place after the doctor come on weekend.

That way, they will have time to spend with their families too, since they are also humans. Ethan could get a permanent nurses and doctors for her, but since it's from her maternal grandparents side, the news about Diana's pregnancy will be leaked, and he's sure the place won't become private any longer.

Even though there is a nurse on standby, Ethan did everything by himself. He only watch them do something once, and he took over the next day, while the nurse only have to watch idly.

His eyes stroll down to Diana's stomach, that was patch with a grey leather material, to support the fetus that's at risk for miscarrying.

He smiled softly, before reaching for her left hand, where a silver ring, with a shiny Diana circled.

Before making the transfer after giving his consent that the baby should be kept, he made registration for their marriage and slip a ring on her finger. It will not seem right to make her become a mother without registering their marriage.

Like a possessed being, they put on the same outfit, while he spent his days in the same room with her.

He caress the ring on her finger and smile. He didn't want to Wed her under this circumstance, but that doesn't change the fact that she's now legally his wife.

His wish came through but….

He took a deep sigh to control his emotions and kissed the ring on her finger, before looking up at her, "baby, when are you going to wake up? I've missed you a lot." he said softly, tears welling up in his eyes.

He's trying to be strong, but it's been more than a month already. He still have hope that she will wake up soon, but it's taking too long.

What if she didn't wake up till it's time to deliver the baby? would they not be able to celebrate the welcoming of their first child before it's born?

How will she feel when she just wake up to meet a baby, she had no idea that she carried.

He also couldn't help but wondered if she didn't wake up, because he chose to keep the baby and not kill it.

He always tried to block out those thoughts, but they always managed to crept in, when he's with her and watching the troublesome girl that like causing trouble, stay mute and looking so fragile.

He's scared.
