Chapter 7

Reyna Cruz:

“Hey, fuck off!” a man hollered at me while he carelessly dumped more trash on the path I was sweeping. It had been a whole month since I took up this at me while I toiled away. Others thought it was amusing to pelt me with more litter. A few even had the audacity to proposition me for extra services in ex

“Reyna! Can I have a chat with you?” the librarian asked, standing in the doorway,

– “Of course,” I set down the bucket and made my way over, noting the disapproving expression on his face.

“I don’t think it’s a wise idea for you to continue working here,” he said with a downcast gaze, delivering the

unfortunate news.

“No, it’s okay. These people don’t really bother me,” I forced an uneasy laugh, attempting to conceal my tears when all I really wanted was to sit down an

“Oh, what am I going to do?” I muttered to myself, gazing around with tears welling up in my eyes, longing to escape this situation.

“I can only keep you in my prayers. You’re welcome to continue using the library and the computers, but you can’t work here,” he sighed as he handed m

“Ugh!” I groaned wearily as I trudged my way back home. I’d been filling out job applications everywhere, but why would they hire me without any experi

Yet, there was one course that had captured my attention. “The copywriter,” I muttered, perched on my bed with a notepad and pen in hand. It appeared copywriting tasks I used to do for Hunter, and how much he admired my creativity.

“Not him,” I scolded myself for even allowing his name to cross my mind. My hatred for him had grown so intense that I couldn’t bear to recollect my time him.

Every day, when I encountered a challenge, my loathing for him deepened. That was the plan, then. I would use my savings to enroll in an online certific

There was a clinic in the rough neighborhood, and the doctor there was the most ill– mannered person I’d ever encountered. She was incredibly brash and seemed to treat me like I was beneath her. Consequently, I decided to stop going.

Over the next few weeks, I dedicated myself to obtaining the certificate and working diligently. However, a significant part of my plans had to be put on ho

“FUCK!” I screamed, gripping onto the bedsheet and sniffling.

“АннннHHHHH!” I wailed in my pillow.

“Hunter!” I screamed once more, this time muffling my voice by burying my face in the pillow.

I couldn’t even recall when his name had slipped from my l*ps, but in that moment, clutching the pillow felt like. holding his hand. “The pain is unbearable

“I’m so sorry, I’ll keep it down,” I stammered, struggling to form a coherent sentence as she rushed into the

room.

“You’re having a baby,” her eyes widened as she pointed at the water between my legs.

“No, I’m not due until next week,” I managed a weak smile, my legs giving way, so she helped me sit down.

“Oh dear! The baby is on the way,” she declared, delivering the news that sent shivers down my spine.

“Oh no! What should I do now?” I started to cry, lifting my head and gazing at her, blinking away the tears rapidly.

“You couldn’t have kept the baby inside forever. And as for what to do, well, you’ll need to spread your legs,” she placed a sheet on the bed and then hur

doctor living nearby until she brought a well–dressed woman into the room.

“This is Nurse Sally; you might not know her,” Polline introduced Sally, guiding her to the bedside before sitting

beside my head.

“Don’t worry, you’ll be just fine,” Sally reassured me in her gentle tone. I was bewildered by the sudden appearance of these kind strangers. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Push!” all I could hear was their urgent instructions and their care for me..

“Ah! Hunter! Don’t leave me,” the pain overwhelmed me, and I clung tightly to Polline’s hand, finding some

comfort in her presence.

The next two hours were a whirlwind. In fact, I passed out after giving birth, and I knew it wasn’t safe to be unconscious like that, fearing Hunter might sh take the baby for Tara.

I began to regain consciousness to the sound of a crying baby and the sensation of someone gently stroking my hair. “Wake up, the baby needs to be fe

etched in my memory.

“It’s a baby boy,” she said, passing him to me. I cradled him with immense love and a beaming smile.

“You haven’t been taking care of yourself? For a young mother, you were far too weak,” Sally shook her head in

amazement.

“I brought you some food,” Polline entered the room excitedly and stole a quick glance at my son. “He’s so

beautiful.”

She wasn’t exaggerating. My baby boy was the most beautiful little thing I’d ever seen. I couldn’t stop smiling as I held him close to my chest.

“Thank you, everyone. I thought I was all alone,” I said through tears, sniffling but forcing a smile.

“I picked these up,” a man entered the room with a broad smile, holding a basket filled with diapers and baby clothes. “Our little boy has already outgrow

“How do you know about this?” Sally inquired of her husband, who didn’t appear too pleased to be in the same.

He seized Sally’s hand and left the room. They did leave the supplies behind, but I was too disheartened to express any more gratitude..

Tears welled up in my eyes as I watched their expressions.

“Ah, we often cast away our own happiness,” Polline mused, calmly leaving the room and closing the door behind her. It was as if the Moon Goddess ha

“So, here we are, alone again,” I whispered, tears flowing as I hugged my baby.

“My precious child, I name you Turner,” I kissed his cheek, and once more, it was just me and my son against the world.
