Chapter 151: The Lost Dream
[Rose’s P.O.V.]
When I got home, I told Susanna that I needed a bath because I didn’t feel like the sticky gel on my stomach had been wiped clean. She told me that she would be in the living room just outside the door if I needed her.
I went into the bathroom, poured bubble bath salts into the bathtub, and turned the tap on to maximum. By the time the tub was nearly three-quarters full, the bubbles had already filled up the rest. I turned off the water, took off my clothes, and carefully stepped into the tub.
Susanna was the one who told me that she thought bubble baths were better for pregnant women than the popular Thai massage in Phuket because the former can not only increase the release of endorphins in the body but also stimulate the nerves and soothe my gastrointestinal system. After all, I was quite prone to vomiting.
I used to feel very comfortable in the bubble bath but when I walked into the bathtub today, I still couldn’t control my emotions. My tears flowed down my face to my chin before dripping into the bathtub. But I couldn’t do anything because I kept thinking about my child. What I had learned today felt like a lightning had struck my heart.
As the bubble enveloped me, I could feel my little wolf kicking me hard again. He was a lively child, but why was fate so cruel to him? He might not even be born healthy.
I touched my belly to try to comfort him, but he seemed to have also heard the bad news today. He kicked me for a long time today, almost as if he was kicking at my heart. I was in pain and I also felt fatigued. Once the kicking stopped, I eventually fell asleep.
I didn’t know how long I had been asleep, but I was awakened by someone’s touch. Then I opened my eyes and saw Edward.
“Alpha!”
I screamed because I found myself still in the bathroom of our apartment, and I had no idea how this had happened.
“Rose, Angel, it’s me.”
He responded to my words. I could feel his palm caressing me. His fingers held my face and slid across my neck, my breasts, and my stomach. Just feeling the warmth of his fingertips made me shudder.
“Alpha:”
I looked at him with sadness and desire. The man I had been longing for all my life finally appeared in front of me. I could no longer think about the fact that he was going to marry Emily as Luna. Just looking into his deep eyes made it impossible for me to resist how badly I had longed for him.
I could feel his fingers on my clitoris through the bubbles as he began to stroke my genitals gently. He drew circles around my genitals and hot liquid began to seep out. I started to pant and moan as his caresses only served to agitate the sadness and grievance in my heart.
I wanted to ask him why he had done this to me. But I didn’t ask because I realized that my little wolf seemed to have some grievance to convey too.
I began to cry uncontrollably, which made Edward panic and he stopped what he was doing. He pulled my head into his arms. I closed my eyes and pressed against his chest, feeling the warmth that I hadn’t felt in a long time.
“Did I hurt you, Baby?” He mumbled to me.
“No, it’s because of our child.”
“What’s wrong with our child?”
“It seems to be sick. The doctor said that it might have a skeletal deformity.”
But before I could finish speaking, I felt the warmth disappear. I opened my eyes and noticed that there was no one in front of me.
“Edward?!”
I called his name, but he was not here. He was not in any part of the room that I could see. I quickly stood up, wanting to go behind the bathroom door to see if he was there, but I did not notice that I had missed a step and immediately slipped into the bathtub. The bubbles spilled out onto the bathroom floor as I bumped my head.
“What’s that sound? Rose?” I heard Susanna’s voice from the other side of the room. I didn’t have the strength to answer her. She opened the door, rushed in, and saw me in a sorry state.
“Oh my God, what happened? You’ve been here for more than an hour and the water is already cold, Rose!”
“I’m fine. I just fell asleep and slipped,” said I to her.
“How could you be so careless?! You’re pregnant!”
“Susanna, I dreamt of Edward.”
And immediately my tears fell like beads that had lost their thread. I thought that I was over it all. I thought that I could control my feelings for him and miss him freely, but I realized that this thought was so ridiculous and weak.
“Oh, my dear Rose.”
Susanna did not nag me anymore. Instead, she helped dry my body, put on my pajamas, and helped me onto my bed. I was like a puppet during the entire process. The dream just now had a huge impact on me. Those eyes and that touch felt as if I had really experienced it.
When I lay down, I watched her walk to my closet and stare at my suitcase. I saw the thoughts in her mind, but I didn’t stop her.
She opened the suitcase and took out the photo of Edward and me from the bottom. She and Alonso both knew that everything related to Sunset Pack was at the bottom of the suitcase.
“How about placing this at the head of your bed? It seems a little too big. Perhaps it can be hung on the wall.”
I allowed her to arrange the position of the group photo. I still felt extremely sad, but I wasn’t crying anymore.
“Rose, the more you want to escape from something, the more you need to face it. Perhaps your little wolf has the right to know that it once had a great father, the Alpha of the largest pack in America while his mother was the bravest wolf in the world.”
