Chapter 83

Lucas felt his heart drop, tears running down his cheeks. He couldn't do anything but squeeze Ella hand, praying that she wouldn't leave him; not now, not ever.

Ella moaned in pain, her eyes closed, yet she managed to squeeze Lucas's hand back. "S- .... save our b-baby."

Lucas set Maddox on his feet, afterwards turning to Ella.

"Levi will save both of you." Lucas cried into her neck, his lips trembled against her skin. "Ella, I know you can do this. Please don't leave me, baby."

Ella wasn't confident one bit, but she didn't want Lucas to worry even more. She tried mustering a smile for Lucas. He didn't need to remember her in pain.

"Lucas, I need to operate now." Levi laid a hand on Lucas's back.

Lucas nodded, before kissing Ella hard. He moved lower to kiss her baby bump, before nodding to Levi.

Ella's lips trembled as she tried to say something, yet no full words came out.

But Lucas understood. "I love you too, baby."
