Chapter 24 Serena Called Harper

• **POV: Harper**
• When I woke up, I found myself still lying in the hospital bed, sweating profusely because of my dreams. I looked around and discovered that Ethan was not in sight. I thought that I would sleep better knowing that my unborn child was doing okay, but the nightmares kept me awake, reminding me of my near-death experience.
• I wasn't surprised when I didn't see Ethan sitting next to me in my hospital bed. If anything, I felt relieved that he had taken my advice and gone home to freshen up and attend to a few things he had abandoned because of me. He had been in the hospital with me since I was brought in, so it was expected that after I got better, he would head home for a quick shower and a change of clothes. I knew I was the one who asked him to leave, but I missed him already. I felt safer when I was in his arms; in his presence, I was not scared of anything or anyone.
