Chapter 387: Cold Lover
Selena cried and wailed loudly as she hugged me tightly in her arms. Her body shook and trembled from her intense emotions and sobs as I patted and stroked her back while thinking that it was probably for the best for her to let it all out.
I had never experienced a loss like hers before, so I couldn’t say that I fully understood her sorrow.
Despite that, her emotions seemed to reach me, and I began crying as well as I shared a bit of her sadness. It didn’t take long for the sadness and pain inside of me to transform into anger. I wasn’t sure who I should direct my anger at because it seemed too useless to blame everything on fate alone.
It took quite a long while before Selena managed to calm down again. Although she was still sobbing and clearly in distress, it seemed that the worst was over, at least for this round of her emotional breakdown. I was certain that it would take Selena a long time before she could completely get over the loss of her child, that is if it was even possible for her to get over it entirely. I wanted so desperately to cheer her up, but I didn’t know what to do or what to say. It seemed like the best that we could do was sympathize with her in silence and to listen to whatever it was that she wanted to say. There were no words that could be used to describe the shock and pain of her loss. I was certainly shocked because Selena seemed perfectly healthy right up until the moment where she started experiencing intense pain in her stomach.
“You should focus on getting enough rest and taking care of yourself,” I told her comfortingly as I gave her hand a squeeze.
“That’s right. Don’t worry about anything and make sure that you get enough rest,” Jessie said as she tried her best to smile.
Selena just nodded her head slightly and I could still see tears swimming in her eyes. It was very unfortunate that her baby didn’t make it; however, I was so glad that at least Selena was fine. I was sure that after getting enough rest, she would be healthy enough to continue on with her life. Although I had no idea what was in store for her now that she had lost Prince Darius’s baby, I was determined to help her get back up on her feet. To be honest, I felt quite frustrated for not being able to help my friend anymore than this. I couldn’t help but wonder if things would have turned out differently had I caught on to her relationship with Prince Darius earlier on before she became pregnant with his child.
I wondered if there was something I could do or say that would persuade her to change her mind from getting into a relationship with him. Perhaps I could have told her about the risks involved with carrying his child, so that she could better make her own decision. Even though I knew deep down that it wasn’t my fault, I couldn’t help but think that I was partly responsible for this outcome. Perhaps if I had found out about a relationship and persuaded her, she wouldn’t have gotten involved with the prince. Although that was what I told myself, there was a side of me that believed that Selena was very much in love with Prince Darius although she had never voiced it.
