Chapter 445
\nMarked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 445<\/p>\n
Deanna’s POV:<\/p>\n
Through the haze of agony and confusion, I heard him. Luis.<\/p>\n
His hand gripped mine tightly. I forced my eyes open. There he was. The man I had waited for.<\/p>\n
My vision blurred as tears filled my eyes.<\/p>\n
He swallowed hard. “We are never doing this again. No more babies.”<\/p>\n
I wanted to laugh. I wanted to tell him it was okay. But the pain surged again, tearing through me.<\/p>\n
The doctor shouted above the noise. “One more! Push!”<\/p>\n
I couldn’t speak. I had no strength left. I gave everything I had.<\/p>\n
Then, a sharp, clear cry broke through the chaos.<\/p>\n
It was loud and strong. Bursting with life.<\/p>\n
The doctor’s face lit up.<\/p>\n
“She’s here! It’s a girl!”<\/p>\n
Relief washed over me. My body gave out.<\/p>\n
I finally drifted to sleep.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Luis’s POV:<\/p>\n
Deanna lay unconscious in the private room. She looked fragile. Her lashes rested on her cheeks.<\/p>\n
I sat frozen beside her. One hand held hers, pressed against my cheek.<\/p>\n
The other held a letter. The paper was creased. Her handwriting filled the page.<\/p>\n
She must have written it not long ago.<\/p>\n
Her handwriting was beautiful, and I could feel how much it meant to her.<\/p>\n
“Luis,<\/p>\n
“I’ve been meaning to talk to you. But I keep falling asleep.<\/p>\n
“Maybe the baby’s getting ready to meet us. Saving up strength.<\/p>\n
“You’re always gone during the day.<\/p>\n
“By the time you’re home, I’m already out cold.<\/p>\n
“So I wrote this letter to keep me company.<\/p>\n
“The doctor checks on me every day.<\/p>\n
“He said the baby could come anytime now.<\/p>\n
“That scared me. But I’m excited too.<\/p>\n
“I’ve been even more careful lately.<\/p>\n
“At first, none of this felt real. But now I can’t stop wondering what she’ll look like.<\/p>\n
“I remembered when you came back from Euron.<\/p>\n
“You were hurt. It killed me.<\/p>\n
“You owe me your life now. So you’re not allowed to get hurt again!<\/p>\n
“Got it?<\/p>\n
“I can’t help with anything. So I take care of myself. That is all I can do.<\/p>\n
“But that’s how women are.<\/p>\n
“Even when we know you are pretending to be cold, it still stings.<\/p>\n
“I don’t want to imagine what would happen if you really stopped loving me.<\/p>\n
“You’re probably yelling at me in your head right now. Saying I am overthinking again.<\/p>\n
“Are you feeling guilty yet? Good. You should be.<\/p>\n
“So here’s your punishment. Be good to me for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n
“Luis, this time…<\/p>\n
“You don’t need to apologize.<\/p>\n
“Just let me believe you.<\/p>\n
“Let me forgive you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2527","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
