Chapter 33: How pathetic she feels
"Karmen, you are my beta, but that doesn’t give you the freedom to spew nonsense," Gabriel said with a stern tone and a disappointed gaze.
Turning to Amelie, he said, "Forgive me that you’ve to hear such words."
"Don’t apologize," Amelie said. "Karmen’s question may sound harsh, but I think it’s not a wrong question."
Taking a deep breath, she lowered her eyes while fiddling with her fingers. "I got pregnant because of Alex, but the pup is in my womb. I will nourish it for months, making it mine alone. The first time when the doctor told me about my pup, I formed an instant connection with them. Both my pup and I didn’t know if we were rejected. And my weak omega status shouldn’t affect this pup. It’s not the pup’s fault. That’s why I decided to save it. I think if not for this pup, I would have never met wonderful people like you."
A smile formed on Amelie’s lips as she gazed at Gabriel, then Karmen.
"Please forgive me, Amelie. I didn’t mean to hurt you," Karmen apologized in a humble tone.
"It’s alright. I don’t mind," Amelie replied.
Meanwhile, Gabriel fell into a deep contemplation. Did mothers save their babies like this? Did his mother had the same thoughts when she had Gabriel?
’I don’t think so. Every time I meet my mom, she speaks how pathetic she feels to have me,’ Gabriel thought and suddenly, he was boiling with anger.
Amelie’s touch on his hand brought him to reality, the anger developed inside him had disappeared too. He met her gaze and held it for a moment.
"Where are you lost?" Amelie pulled her hand back while realizing something bothered Gabriel. She didn’t wish to see him punishing or fighting with his own beta. "Don’t be upset with Karmen," she whispered, leaning close to his ear.
