“I am going to die soon.”
Caspian felt his heart dropping to his stomach the moment he heard those heavy words from his wife’s mouth. Both of his hands turned stiff. And the very fingers of Caspian which were lovingly stroking Anastasia’s knuckles until a moment ago were now hurting her.
Anastasia didn’t complain though. How could she? The emotional pain that she had just put Caspian through was incomparable to the pain that Caspian was unintentionally putting her through at the moment.
All she could do right now was anxiously hold her breath and wait for Caspian to explode.
However, that didn’t happen. At least, not yet.
Caspian seemed to be frozen. It appeared as though his body as well as his mind had stopped responding to him.
After all, the shock was too great for his heart and his mind to process.
