Despite her constant asking, Silas was silent the entire time. He didn't know what to answer her.
How could he tell her that her baby was death and she could no longer dream of becoming a mother again?
Lies were bad but the truth was enough worst to kill her right at that moment. Isabella was becoming more and more afraid as Silas didn't give her any answer and stayed quiet. Lips parted in panting, Isabella took a step back and muttered incoherently,
" You.. won't say..I will go out to find him.."
Isabella was behaving like a maniac who was clueless about her own self. As she made her way to go out, Silas pulled her back from outside. Isabella snapped her head to see him pleading lowly,
" Princess.. Please don't go..You must recover fast. Then I promised that you will know everything. Trust me, okay?"
But Isabella refused to obey anything. Her appearance turned more anxious when Silas tried to stop her from finding her child. Her voice trembled before coming out to warn Silas to leave her hold,
" NO!!! I must find my child now. Let go of me! "
Isabella struggled to brush off his hand but he was holding her wrist too tightly. On the other side, Silas refused to let her go outside as she looked like a mess. He didn't want others to let her know that how pathetic her life had become in a day.
Understanding that she wouldn't stop at any extent, Silas had to use his alternative method to stop her for the time being. With another sharp pull, he brought her closer to his chest and murmured on her face,
" I am sorry, Princess."
Isabella narrowed her eyes suspiciously. Before she could say anything, Silas stretched out his hand to reach behind the back of her head. His hand worked skillfully. Angling in a perfect way, he knocked her off by a punch cautiously.
Isabella's lips parted letting out a gasp before she fell numbly over his masculine chest. Silas was quick fast to hold her on place. Without any prior warning, he scooped her up by her waist and walked back to settle her down over the bed.
Right at that moment, the door of his room brust open as Queen Mary walked in. Her eyes narrowed at the sight of his son holding Isabella cautiously. Panicked, she ran over to warn Silas anxiously,
" What are you doing? Silas, don't touch her so randomly. She is a princess and a married woman."
Silas who was busy in putting her down hussed his mother with a glare. After he was done placing him, he turned around to growl at her coldly,
" For God's sake, can you stop bringing the same topic repeatedly, mother? She is sick here and I am trying to help her. Why did you enter in my room without my permission?"
Queen Mary was speechless by his words. She was trying to make him some sense but at the end, she was blamed for being an intruder. Basarisk was the most powerful kingdom in their world. As a mother, she didn't want Silas to put himself in danger.
What if King Cedric finds his behavior too oblivious?
Queen Mary gave out a long sigh. Focusing on the main subject that brought her here, she spoke carefully,
" King Cedric has appeared in our Castle. You should go out to explain the matter fast. Your father doesn't know about the incident that happened on their way."
Silas hummed as a response. Shooting a blank stare at Isabella over the bed, he replied in a softer voice,
" I am coming in a minute but I need someone to keep an eye on her always. She isn't mentally stable."
Queen Mary hummed agreeingly. Her eyes shifted on Isabella's pale face as she felt truly sorry for her loss.
Which woman on this earth could endure such pain at the same time?
Silas left Isabella in his mother's care. Momentarily relived by the thought that she would be sleeping for a long time again, his heart was in ease. Her pleading eyes were killing him eternally. Though he had nothing to do with the incident, a part of him felt guilty towards her.
What if he arrived earlier in that place? What if he had called other physicians to save both of them?
But It was Isabella's destiny that no one could change not even her prestigious status. Walking out of the room, he made his way for downhall in where Cedric was staying possibly.
Cedric reached with Ayra few minutes ago. King Draco was already there to receive them eagerly. Ever since Ayra saw him crying, her emotions were becoming worse. Never in her life, she thought that Cedric could cry over something. A tough king like him who could rule over the entire world had such weakness in his life.
Shook by the sight of his vulnerability, Ayra stayed closer to his side. She made sure that he didn't feel lonely during the time.
Silas came downstairs to see his father talking to Cedric. Walking over to them, Silas bowed at them courteously before greeting formally,
" Greetings, Your Highness and My Lady. We are very sorry for the incident that happened."
Cedric had learnt about the situation already. He was pleased with Silas that he saved Isabella on time. Though they couldn't save the baby, his beloved sister was saved.
Cedric praised trying to hide his turbulent emotions silently,
" I am eternally grateful to you, Duke Silas. You saved my sister's life."
Silas exhaled a soft sigh. Bringing his eyes up to stare at Cedric, he spoke again softly,
" Your Highness! There's.. there's something more that I would like to let you know in advance.."
Cedric replied growing anxious,
" What is it? Is sister Isabella not doing well?"
Silas bit his lips together. After a moment of hesitation, he informed truthfully to them,
" Princess Isabella..She...She can't fall pregnant anymore unfortunately..Her uterus had been damaged due to excessive bleeding..We were just lucky to save her life on time.."
