Chapter 726: EXCRUCIATING PAIN
"Don’t." Cane kissed her forehead to ease her pain and gave Iris a form of comfort. "None of it is your fault." He stared into Iris’s eyes gently, while holding her hand and caressed her forehead. She was sweating even in the winter. "I am the one, who have to be blamed for this."
He swore, he would protect them. He swore he would do anything to keep them safe. He swore he would throw his life without a second thought if it meant he could put them away from harm.
He prayed every night to any god for their safety, but once again, the god forsaken him. He had to lose his baby and put his mate and the other baby’s life in danger. He had harmed them.
If there was someone to be blamed, it would be him.
"You have done a great job, Iris. I want you to stay with me." Cane kissed her knuckles. He wanted to do anything to ease her pain. If he could, he wanted to shoulder her sadness and the feeling of devastation that racked her. Iris was already in so much pain, why would she be tortured again?
"I killed the baby, Cane... I- I am sorry..." Iris cried her heart out, she kept apologizing, she knew how much they waited for the babies only to lost one of them and probably them both.
"You did not. Decratic did." Cane wiped her tears and looked at her deeply.
Iris cried even harder. She was a mess, her curls, auburn hair stuck on her face as she kept sweating, the pain on her stomach tortured her, but the pain in her heart made her wanted to die. "What if we lost them both? I am sorry... I am sorry..."
"I want you, Iris. I want you to live." Cane was being honest here. If he had to choose between her and the babies, he would choose her. It broke his heart to lose his babies, but he would choose her without doubt. "Stay with me, Iris. Stay with me."
Not long after, Grace came with concoction, she told Cane that Iris needed to drink it in order to induce the early labor.
"Give it to me," Cane said, he took the bowl from Grace’s hand, as he held Iris upper body with the other. "How long it will take?"
