Chapter 23: Chapter 23

I stir awake on the bed hearing whispering going on around me and a feeling of someone running a hand through my hair.

"She had a mild anxiety attack. It made me so frightened and confused" Emma says with a shaky voice.

"How is she now?" Mum Eliana says sounding worried.

What? Mum Eliana? What is she doing here? " I called Dr. Anna, she said it's normal for her to have anxiety and depression during this last month of pregnancy, she just needs a good amount of rest free of pressure," she says wistfully.

I snap my eyes open to find myself laying on the settee with my head placed on Mum Elaina's lap while she glides through my hair looking worried.

I avert my gaze towards Emma seating on the armchair with tears rolling down her cheeks feeling guilty for making her so anxious " I am sorry for making you appall " I say my voice coming out raspy.

"It okay dear," Mum Eliana says softly with a warm smile.
