Chapter 235 - Truth out

"Wh….wha..t!" Clara stammered. 

That sentence seemed like the worst nightmare of her life. Her eyes remained wide open and body frozen. 

"Hum… hum.. No. She knocking out." The little princess corrected herself after recalling what Leo said when Clara was in the same situation Sonya was in then.

It was the scene where she had asked Leo to kill Clara or else she would destroy so many lives with her power that went out of control then. Leo knocked her out and when she approached Belle with the unconscious Clara in his arm, she asked if he had killed her and Leo replied that 'It's called knocking out.'

Clara sprung up immediately and dashed out of the house, while Leo picked Belle in his arms and followed behind, helping her wipe her tears.

"Don't cry, everything will be alright." He assured her.

Ever since Clara has been going to and fro from her quarters to the main house, today was the first day she realized how far it was and kind of hated the width of the mansion immediately. 

She ran like her life depends on it. What if Sonya hurt her baby in the process?

Oh god! She didn't wish for the girl to get hurt again.

...

Meanwhile.

Mick stopped Tim from bothering himself to call for help after recalling that the personal doctor in charge of treating Leo's boys after hurting themselves while training is around, and also because of those who were severely injured during the whole Jerry's attack issues.

The doctor was already tending to her when Clara and Leo arrived, while Belle was asked to stay with Mick in the living room.

Sonya layed still on the bed, her eyes blurry as she stared at the ceiling.

It started getting clearer, but she still felt a bit dizzy and heart pounding hard. How does the situation take such drastic turn?

After the doctor was done with the check up, she looked up at Clara, Leo and Tim and wondered who she was supposed to talk to.

Leo is like her boss, because her place of work is under the Raymond management. She knew Tim as well and Clara looked so emotional, indicating that she's someone very close to the patient.

Noticing her contemplating gaze, Clara urged her to say whatever it is she wants to say, claiming there is no outsider among them.

Leo also nodded in response, while Tim just remained silent and still feeling confused.

"It's nothing serious for now. It's just shock and also, her blood pressure is higher than normal. It seems she's been thinking a lot lately." The doctor said.

"For now?" Clara asked. That was the part that worried her. As for the blood pressure, Clara knew she would share the same fate if she wasn't a paranormal being, because they cried and swam in the river of thoughts a lot.

"Yes, for now. If she experienced another shock again, she might lose her baby, so I will suggest you talk to her. She shouldn't think too much and avoid anything that could stir her up too much, as any mistake could potentially make her lose her baby." The doctor further explained.

"I will prescribe some medicine for her. Mick will help her get it. For now, let her rest." She added and gathered her tools then headed towards the living room to give Mick her prescription. 

"Tim?" Clara called.

Tim returned from his daze after Clara called his name, as he still couldn't believe that he slept with a pregnant woman. 

'No wonder she didn't want to accept the fact that they slept with each other.' He thought, thinking that was why Sonya ran away and denied an obvious fact that day.

'Did her ex husband leave her alone while she's carrying a child? Is that the main reason why she wanted to drink herself to death that night?' A lot of thoughts run through Tim's head.

"Timothy!" Clara called again, seeing him go in a daze once again. 

"Hum..hey." Tim replied, awkwardly. 

"What happened exactly?" She asked.

"I'm not sure either. She saw me and ran away. I wasn't expecting such a reaction, so I chased after her and tried to clear the misunderstanding between us and then, she suddenly fainted." Tim explained.

Clara looked at Leo, who stared back at her.

Sonya saw someone and ran away? That's unlike her. Clara thought and then something popped up in her head.

'Could it be..?' She couldn't complete the thought before her eyes widened. 

Leo, who had also thought of the possibility, didn't bother to beat around the bush, because he was well aware of his friend's promiscuous habit, though it has reduced lately.

The so-called one night stand could be Tim, because Sonya is just the ideal type of girl he chased around.

"Wait a minute! Did you sleep with her?" Leo asked, glaring at him.

Tim was awestruck at the question. He has never felt so bad for sleeping with a woman before. A pregnant woman for that matter.

The woman he still has in his heart, despite the fact that he couldn't get her, was also present.

He felt like a little kid that was about to get reprimanded for his wrongdoings.

His voice shook slightly as he replied with a yes, and before he could explain himself, a punch has already met his face, "You bastard!" Leo growled before throwing another one at him, making Tim stagger back.

"Have you lost your mind?" Leo asked, very pissed that he was the reason for Sonya's pregnancy, which has put the girl in a deep thought since all this while.

He never knew he had upgraded from not hurting them to going beyond like this. 

Clara covered her mouth with her palms in shock, as she couldn't believe Tim is the father. She wasn't surprised by their fight, because that is how they vent their anger and resolve misunderstanding between them.

It has become a casual thing that almost seems like fun.

The doctor returned after hearing their commotion when she was about to leave the mansion, frowning hard and looking like she was coming to beat them.

"Excuse me! I told you she needs to rest. All of you leave now, please." She said, trying her best not to get too angry and blaspheme them.

Tim had just regained himself and massaged his cheeks, wondering if Leo was pissed because they knew someone slept with her despite being pregnant or whatever that he didn't know and curious to know.

During all this, Sonya's heart was racing wildly as she listened to everything that was being said between them.

She has never done something this embarrassing in her entire life. She regretted getting so drunk and now she wished that she had aborted earlier and be able to avoid this whole drama.

"Please let me stay, I will be quiet." Clara pleaded with the woman, while moving closer to sit beside Sonya on the bed.

The doctor agreed, while Leo and Tim left the room.

While they walked away from the room, Leo spoke up. "You had better have a good explanation for this." His voice came out harshly and daring.

Tim just remained silent and wanted them to evacuate the premise and he could explain himself to Leo.

He didn't mean for all that to happen. It wasn't different from hurting a woman and that would be the last thing he will willingly do.

Immediately Sonya realized she and Clara were alone, she reached for her hand and began sobbing hard.

"I'm here, it's okay." Clara assured, reaching her spare hand to pat her head, while Sonya caressed her stomach with her own spare hand. 

"I nearly lost her." She said, referring to her baby.

She wished she had aborted it then, but now she's so attached. She wanted her baby and didn't want any harm to come to it.

"Nothing will happen. You just have to be careful from now on. What happened exactly?" Clara asked.

"He was the man I told you about. Actually, he didn't do anything wrong. We were both drunk, so I hope this wouldn't cause a fight between him and his friend." Sonya said and Clara leans to kiss her forehead.

"Everything will be fine." She said, but then, Sonya burst into tears loudly. 

"No. It's not fine. Please don't tell Belle about this. I've already said I don't need the father." Sonya pleaded, imagining how Belle will take the news, which is kind of ridiculous, but she has the softest heart, despite her sharp tongue.

Clara's eyes widened in shock. "What! Don't tell me you are crying because you are considering a little girl's crush on the father of your baby." Clara said, still didn't want to believe it.

"She really liked him, Clara. She's still young and it will break her heart." Sonya said.

"Are you crazy!" Clara was so pissed, because Sonya's case is no longer being kind hearted, she is totally crazy.

How absurd!
