Chapter 156: Do you feel guilty?
Roland wanted to throttle his wife’s maids. He wanted to pick them up by the neck like dolls and throw them out of the window. They should have held onto Lettice tighter or fallen on the ground first so that Sigrid could have a soft landing.
They were aware of her pregnancy and failed to share it with him and as a result, Sigrid was behind closed doors being attended to by two doctors and a mid-wife. He had no idea how much damage his wife and child had suffered.
"Is this how you protect your Lady?" he growled at them.
All the maids had no response, nothing they said could satiate the crown prince. They knew that that the only reason why they were still standing was because they were Sigrid’s closest maids and she would displeased if something happened to them.
General Paxton put a hand on Roland’s shoulder and squeezed once, comforting his son-in-law.
"It will be okay son."
Roland felt the comforting touch but it barely comforted him. The words of his father-in-law held no meaning, how was it okay after all? Just yesterday he had imagined the children he would have with his wife running around on the grassland, minutes ago he had just learned that Sigrid was pregnant. And at that same time, his wife was injured.
He had not got to experience the happiness of being an expectant father, nothing could happen to Sigrid and the baby.
Roland approached the door to the bedroom, desperate to make his way inside but the duchess and Deanna denied him entrance.
