Chapter 7

The first thing I saw when I woke up was my parents asleep beside me.

"Where's Jayden? Hasn't he come yet?"

I weakly lifted my hand, wanting some water, and only my mom handed me a cup of warm water. Tears welled up in my eyes.

"Don't even mention that brat. I tried calling him, but it didn't go through. Who knows where he's off to. When he gets here, I'll give him a piece of my mind."

Dad's rough voice echoed in the room, but Mom quickly pulled him back. "Keep it down. Your daughter just gave birth to a healthy baby girl. She needs to rest now."

I couldn't help but laugh. A girl is great.

As evening approached, my parents were about to go out and buy me some supplements.

Jayden finally came back at this point. "You brat! Where were you? You finally decided to come back? Why didn't you just stay out there forever? Your wife was giving birth, and you didn't even show up!"

Dad charged at him, ready to slap him, but Mom quickly intervened. "Stop it. Let them talk. We'll go get some porridge for our daughter."

Mom dragged him out of the room.

I finally had a chance to take a good look at this man. He had changed so much I didn't even recognize him.

"Ruby, Jane had complications during labor. She lost the baby, and they almost couldn't save her." He knelt beside my bed, sobbing uncontrollably.

I didn't understand why he was so heartbroken. It wasn't our child.

Since she was my best friend, maybe he felt guilty for bringing Ruby to the hospital and not being able to save the baby.

"Stop crying. We had a baby girl. Go and take a look at her."

I thought he would be happy. Instead, he looked troubled. "I'll check on Jane first. She's all alone over there."

Once again, he left me behind, just like before. He didn't even look back as he walked out.

"Where's Jayden? Why did he leave as soon as we came in?" my parents asked as soon as they walked in.

I forced a pale smile and reassured them, "It's fine. He's tired from work, so he went home. I can manage on my own."
