Bride For Rent novel Chapter 34

When Raymond got home that day, he had dinner with Felicity before following her into her room.

Felicity was surprised and she asked him out of her excitement "are you sleeping with me today little Ray?"

Raymond stilled for a moment but he smiled later "no, not today."

"Oh" a trace of disappointment was clear on her face "why are you here then?"

"I want to talk to you" his fingers traced her face involuntarily, realizing what he was doing, he dropped his hand. Just why is it that she makes him wants to be gentle with her, no woman has ever derived such feelings from him and he is not sure he likes it. He can't lose to Katherine by loving Felicity right?

"What is it?"

"I talked with Aunt Katy today."

"Why?"

"Do you remember the day we went to grandparent's house?" When she nodded, he continued "we talked in the car about you having a miscarriage right?"

"Yes" she whispered.

"Don't worry, it's fake okay?" He smiled "we will have it tomorrow. Grandma will visit us and nanny Mercy is going to pour blood on you."

Felicity stiffened "no, I don't want blood" the panic was evident on her face as she started shaking.

"It's okay. It's not real blood, it's a paint" Raymond grabbed her shoulders to steady her "it's only a red paint, it's not real blood okay? And you will only sit on it, you will not touch it, then I will come and I will carry you away."

"Like a princess?" She asked with her tearful eyes.

"Yes, like a princess" he smiled "you don't have to worry okay, I will be there."

"You will not leave me?"

"I will not leave you."

"That day, mummy and daddy left me" she sniffed.

"I won't" he hugged her, when Katherine told him, he really didn't know she was that sensitive to blood. And if it wasn't for the matter at hand, he will never have to let her see a drop of blood.

The next day, Hana and Desmond visited them like planned. They bought a lot of baby things and an ice cream for Felicity, it was her favorite and she didn't hesitate in showing them she loves it by jumping up and down. Hana had to still her, "now now, little Lee, you wouldn't want to hurt the little one in your tummy right?" She removed a strand of hair from her face affectionately.

"I told you we shouldn't even get her the ice cream" Desmond said grumpily.

"Just this once, let her have it this once."

"Please don't reminisce now" he rolled his eyes.

Hana slapped his chest jokingly "go away you foolish boy, you stink like a troll."

"Grandma" Raymond called before rolling his eyes once more "you know I don't..." His sentence was interrupted by a shrilling scream that his heart missed a beat, he almost forgot it was part of their plan as he dashed up the stairs. The scream sounded so real, Felicity must be an actress to scream like that, he thought as he pushed open the door to his room.

Felicity was lying in the blood crying, her tears were real, her hands covered in blood. Raymond forgot about the plan and rushed to her, he picked her up and she was sobbing hysterically staring at the blood that covered her arms "mom" she whispered "mom."

Raymond knew it was not acting anymore, he hugged her tightly to him "it's okay, I'm here."

"Mom....dad...mom" she kept whispering.

"Oh my God! Felicity" Hana shouted as she approached them "what happened."

"I think she slipped" Raymond answered, he hate to carry on with his line now but he knew Felicity's sacrifice mustn't go to waste, he picked her up "get me a towel" he said to Hana who immediately got him one, he wrapped Felicity with it when Mercy and Desmond entered the bathroom.

"Felicity" Mercy shouted, she rushed to hold her.

"Take her to a hospital Raymond" Desmond barked.
