Love You Can’t Say

I smiled and looked at the black-and-white photo on the tombstone. I couldn’t shed a single tear, but I felt like my heart was dripping blood. I knew that Diana was looking out for me – She knew I had just lost my child, and that it would be completely unbearable for me if I were to learn of her accident right away and couldn’t take it any further.

“Did she have any last words?”

“She hoped that you could adopt and raise the child, and you should name it. So, from now on, you wouldn’t have to worry about being alone or having no family around.”

Alex said it calmly as if he had rehearsed it a thousand times.

I felt like I was in a freezing place, but my forehead started to sweat non-stop.

Resisting the pain in my heart, I smiled and said, “Sounds perfect!”

When I finished the last word, there was a bloody smell rushing out from my throat instantly.

With a puff, a mouthful of blood spurted out from me.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Immediately afterward, there was a piercing pain in my heart. The pain was so severe that even the bones felt like they were starting to loosen.

“Clara!”

“Ms. Clara!”

Alex held me in his arms. His eyes were a little scarlet, and he looked at Jackie and roared, “Don’t you know she has depression? Did you bring her here to kill her?”

Jackie was shocked and panicked. She shook her head, at a loss, “I don’t know – I just thought you had other reasons not to let her know, so…”

“Take her to the hospital, now!” Luis, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke. And his face was bloodless pale.

My brain was buzzing. My heart ached so many times and I had a hard time breathing.

Alex held me and put me into the car. And we arrived at the hospital not long after.

I thought I could stay awake, but I had passed out before I could make it to the hospital.

It seemed to be an extraordinarily long sleep, as long as a lifetime.

When I woke up gradually, I first saw the white ceiling. And it took me a long time to realize that I was at the hospital.

“She’s awake! Clara’s awake…” Alex said with excitement, followed by Jackie and Luis’s screaming.

I looked at them, but I still wasn’t back to my senses completely, so I said dully, “You are all here. Why?”

Jackie looked at me with her red and swollen eyes, “You had hemoptysis and have been in a coma for a whole day and night.”

I was stunned for a while. The pain in my head was still terrible. I forcibly endured the pain and said, “How did she die?”

Alex pursed his lips, his throat moved, and some painful memories overflowed, “Clara, let’s move on and not dwell on the past, okay?”

I looked at the ceiling and felt like every inch of my body was hurting. I said calmly, “I know what you’re worried about, but Alex, if I don’t know how she passed away, do you think I could live the rest of my life in peace?”

He bowed his head and held his head with his hands. His slender fingers dipped into his hair, his voice was hoarse and suppressed, “The night you had an accident, she was tricked into Luis’s house and was drugged. And someone told her later that not only did you lose the baby but also almost lost your own life because you had gone out from George’s villa to look for her. She knew she had put you in danger and she got extra emotional. She had an accident on her way in a hurry to look for you. And she was bleeding out massively. She knew she couldn’t make it, so she entrusted the child to me and told me to hand it over for you to adopt and raise it.”

Alex’s voice choked, “She was afraid that you would not be able to withstand the blow of bad news – She knew you had lost the baby and the bad news of her getting into trouble would break you. So she asked me to wait until the child turned half a year old to tell you what had happened.”

In just one year, I had suffered from life and death. I looked at the ceiling, my vision was a little blurry, and my eyes hurt. However, I couldn’t say a word.

After a long silence, I could finally speak, “Who told Diana the news?”

Diana was pregnant at that time. And after my accident, Hank never left my side. During that time, I had tried many ways to end my life.

Hank was busy taking care of me and had no time for others. Based on his temperament, if I hadn’t taken the initiative to ask for meeting Diana, he wouldn’t have voluntarily reached out to her, let alone provoke Diana.

Such a cruel method…

“It was Mario’s assistant Nova!” He spoke in a cold voice.

Nova Pearson!

I frowned. But I couldn’t help but think about the girl Olivia humiliated at the W Town, the girl who was dressed like the girl next door – a ray of sunshine.

“What about her?”

Alex nodded, “Nova reached out to Diana. I am not sure what she said to Diana. But after Diana had finished chatting with Nova, Diana ended up in a terrible mood. When Diana was dying, she said that I should never tell Mario about the baby.”

Not tell Mario about the baby?

I went into silence. In life, sometimes you just had to toughen up, or others might see you and treat you as a push-over.

Seeing that I stopped talking and just stared at the ceiling in a daze, Alex called me, “Clara, you…”

“I am alright!”

I put all the emotions behind me, looked at Jackie, and said, “I could use your help on this.”

After a brief pause, Jackie nodded, “No problem!”

I nodded along, “I appreciate it!”

“Don’t worry about it. It’s just the least I could do.” Jackie added, in a serious tone.

I knew this was her thanking me for helping her get rid of Steven Pearson. But I still felt thankful for her now deep in my heart.

Looking at Alex, I moved my body. My body still hurt a lot, “Alex, when will I be discharged from the hospital?”

“The doctor suggested that you rest in bed for a few more days!” He said. Seeing that I wanted to get up, he helped me up and said, “The new year’s around the corner, Clara, promise me that you put away everything else and focus on enjoying the new year’s celebration, okay?”

I nodded, forced a smile, and said, “Okay, but, I have to go back to City P first. I have a job there, and after I settle my work, I will go back to Newton Town and spend the new year with you and the baby.”

He frowned, “Can it wait until after the new year’s celebration?”

I shook my head, “Alex, I might have to head back tonight. Mr. Link is going to take me in as his goddaughter tomorrow night, so I have to go back.”

“Mr. Link? Link Kennedy?”

I nodded, “Yes!”

He frowned, “Was it because of Leo Kennedy?”

“Mhm-hmm.”

He pursed his lips but kept silent for a long time.

After a while, Alex looked back at me and said, “Alright, I will be waiting for you to come back for the new year, here in Newton Town.”

“Mhm.” I paused, looked at him, and said, “Does the baby… Have a name yet?”

He shook his head, “We are waiting for a name given by you. Diana said the baby would take your last name. This way… The baby would naturally grow closer with you!”

My heart ached as much as my head, and I felt terrible, “A boy or a girl?”

“Daughter!”

“How about Clariana? you can pick a nickname for her.”

Alex was a bit surprised. He said, “Clariana Kennedy – a beautiful mix of Clara and Diana.”

I nodded and started tearing up, “I would love Clariana to have all the love and care in the world, everything Diana and I have never had.”

He nodded. After thinking for a while, Alex said, “How about Clarie Bear for her nickname?”

“Sounds perfect. Clarie Bear is cute and unique.” Luis spoke with a great agreement.
