Chapter 388: One of Many
It seemed that I could no longer hold in the anger that was burning deep inside of me, and I had to speak up for my friend. Clearly, Selena was too scared to speak up for herself or to do anything that would further anger Prince Darius; however, I just couldn’t let this slide. The way he acted was too insensitive and uncaring and it also made me feel like he was trying to put the blame on Selena.
“Pregnancies like these come with risks of their own and that is why it isn’t unbelievable or completely unexpected that she might lose the child due to incompatibility issues and other complications,” Prince Darius replied matter-of-factly.
I knew that his answer wasn’t strictly incorrect but it wasn’t the answer that I was looking for.
“Please don’t say things like that, can’t you see how much Selena is suffering already?” I asked accusingly.
“I can see that she is sad, but I also know that she will get over it with time,” Prince Darius replied smoothly before he turned to look down at Selena.
Selena looked like she was ready to burst out crying at any moment and that only made me feel worse. I could tell that Jessie was also boiling with anger, but she was in no position to lecture the prince. Honestly, I wasn’t in any position to lecture Prince Darius either but I couldn’t let his inappropriate behavior go.
“Let’s have a word outside, shall we? Selena should be resting right now so we shouldn’t disturb her for any longer than this,” Prince Leonard suggested.
I was slightly surprised that Prince Leonard had jumped in, but I had to admit that his idea was better than mine. By that time I was so consumed with anger that I was about to face Prince Darius straight on right in front of Selena while forgetting that she should be resting and that she was already in enough emotional distress as it was. I nodded my head in agreement before the three of us left the room, leaving Jessie to keep Selena company.
“Why do you have to be so insensitive? Can’t you see just how much she is suffering?” I threw my accusations at Prince Darius the moment that we had found a room where we could converse in private.
“I can tell that she is saddened by the news, but as I mentioned, she will get over it soon,” Prince Darius replied emotionlessly.
“Can’t you tell that the person that she wants support from the most right now is you? Why can’t you just comfort her?” I asked while feeling quite shocked at how cold the prince was.
Although I had suspected it beforehand, I still didn’t want to believe that Prince Darius didn’t feel any love for my friend. It frustrated me even more because I knew that Selena was deeply in love with the prince.
