Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband
Chapter 691: Mr. Crawford, I’m Starting to Miss You
CHAPTER 691: CHAPTER 691: MR. CRAWFORD, I’M STARTING TO MISS YOU
"Oh, you want to hear the good news first. The good news is that the baby moved today, and just now the baby even gave me a little kick!"
"But, the bad news is that the fleeting beauty on me isn’t doing so well, I’m aging visibly every day, Mr. Crawford, I’m going to get uglier and uglier, will you despise me?"
"Of course not, after all, you can’t see it, luckily... you’re not here."
Saying this, Serena Sterling lifted her hand to brush aside her long hair at her cheek, and as her delicate white fingers ran through it, a large handful of hair came away with her fingertips.
She had started losing her hair.
Serena paused slightly, quickly hid the large handful of hair so he wouldn’t see it, reached out to turn off the video, "Mistake, let’s do it again."
In the next video, Serena was more than six months pregnant, appearing on camera, but wearing a hat, and in the blink of an eye, the fine lines on her face had deepened into deep wrinkles, she looked like someone in her fifties.
Serena sat on the rattan chair, looking at the camera, she was trying hard to smile, but the light in her eyes was no longer as bright as before.
"Mr. Crawford, long time no see, today I’m wearing a hat because... I shaved all my hair off, I’m bald now, I’m afraid to scare you, so I used the hat to cover it, I originally wanted to cover this face too, but then I thought never mind, Mr. Crawford, even if I’m very ugly now, you must refrain from speaking out!"
"My belly is very big, the babies are all very healthy, they are growing robustly in my belly, Mommy says the boy on the left is very quiet, should be cool and aloof when born, a spitting image of you, while the pair of twins on the right are very lively, always kicking me, should be a spitting image of me, having the babies accompany me every day, I’m very happy."
Just then, the room door opened, and Seraphina Linden’s voice came through, "Serena, it’s time to eat, you haven’t eaten for many days, although you try hard to eat each time, you always eat and then throw up, throw up and then eat, now you can only rely on nutritional injections, Mommy personally cooked a little millet porridge for you, have a taste."
Seraphina walked over, Serena probably caught the scent, and she immediately bent over and threw up, the video was abruptly cut off.
In the next video, Serena was over seven months pregnant, lying in bed, and Seraphina was giving her an injection.
Her sleeve was pushed up, exposing her arm, and her arm was covered with needle marks, bruised and shocking to see.
At that time, Serena had lost so much weight, she was almost skin and bones, but her belly, more than seven months along, was very large, due to the triplets it looked much bigger than those about to give birth, at that time she had aged so much, like a woman in her sixties.
Serena lay on the bed looking at the camera, she was still smiling, but the light in her eyes was gone, "Mr. Crawford, don’t worry, the babies are fine, I can’t get out of bed now, I have to stay in bed to nurture the babies, with Mommy here, I can definitely hold on until the day they are born, I will definitely bring them into this world safe and healthy."
Saying this, Serena slowly stretched out her hand, her fingertip landed on the lens, she whispered, "Just Mr. Crawford, I think... I start to miss you."
In the next video, Serena was more than eight months pregnant, the video was shot late at night, the light was dim, her face was not clear.
The video opened with a suffocating silence, followed by her suppressed sobs and cries, she said on that end, "Mr. Crawford, I miss you, I really miss you so much."
At that time, she curled herself up in the blanket, her face buried inside, she spoke many words to herself, disjointed.
"Mr. Crawford, you must still hate me, right? Have you already... forgotten me, perhaps you’ve even started dating... a new girlfriend..."
"That’s great, really great, when I designed to leave you, it was to avoid dragging you down, I didn’t want to become your weakness, I was already mentally prepared, the moment I let go of such a great Mr. Crawford, those women would definitely fight over you, they would... take my place."
"At first I could bear it, I thought I could, even without you, me and the babies could also... live well, but... at this moment I regret it, Mr. Crawford, I wish you could be by my side..."
"Actually, I’m very scared, scared every day, I don’t dare... to tell anyone, it hurts so much, really hurts a lot... I’m aging every day, from twenty years old to thirty... sixty... eighty, I’ve grown so old that I don’t even recognize myself... I can’t sleep every night, pain and fear surround me like demons, devouring me... sometimes I even think I won’t be able to hold on the next second, I might just die..."
"Mr. Crawford, I admit I’m selfish, I shouldn’t have returned to Alani, I should have stayed by your side, no matter if I’m old, ugly, good, bad, I should have let you be with me, I don’t want to care about anything, just want... to let you hold me, I want... to lie in your arms every day, entrust myself, the babies, and the future to you..."
"Even if... even if one day I really die, I want... to die in your arms, and not... like now, being so lonely, helpless..."
She kept crying there, later directly breaking into uncontrollable sobbing, the video ended just like that.
The next video, the last video, showed Serena gave birth prematurely.
Serena lay in the delivery room bed, her forehead was covered in sweat, sweat quickly soaked her clothes, both hands tightly gripping the sheets below her, clutching them so hard the sheets were torn.
Seraphina kept wiping her sweat, "Serena, don’t be nervous, one baby’s head is already out, come, follow Mommy’s rhythm and push, we inhale, exhale, inhale..."
Serena quickly caught the rhythm, she gritted her teeth, and with a loud "waah" cry, eldest son Caden Crawford was born.
"Serena, he’s born, this is the brother!" Seraphina quickly wrapped little Caden Crawford in a blanket, bringing him to Serena’s side.
At that time, Serena was so thin that only skin and bones were left, she laboriously raised her trembling hand and gently touched little Caden Crawford’s small face.
At this time, someone nearby exclaimed, "Blood! Blood! Your Majesty, it’s not good, Princess is hemorrhaging!"
A large patch of blood gushed out from under Serena, quickly staining the mattress red.
Seraphina quickly put down little Caden Crawford, "Quickly, stop the bleeding!"
Serena reached out, grabbed Seraphina’s hand, slowly shaking her head, "Mommy, it’s no use, I know I can’t make it."
