Chapter 22 Not Entitled to Ask

Alaric looked deeply concerned, his eyes revealing intense emotions as he showed Calista how much he cared for her. Had it been two months earlier, Calista might have let go of her pride and gently thrown herself into Alaric's arms, confessing how much she missed him too. But now, just beyond a wall in the adjacent hospital room, lay a woman carrying Alaric's child. For the first time, Calista felt an emotion that even sparked fear within her. It was as if she couldn't understand Alaric anymore.
