Born into Temptation (Devils Will Rise: Melnikov Legacy #4)

Chapter 13

Yelena

A fter two days I’m finally allowed to leave the hospital. I’m under strict orders to not leave my bed, and I’d agreed to everything they'd said because nothing is more important than the safety of our baby. I thought watching Val run out of that elevator was the scariest thing I’d ever endure, but I’d been wrong because when I’d started bleeding, when I thought our baby was dying, that’s when I realized what true terror felt like.

My hand rests on my stomach as my dad pushes my wheelchair out of the hospital and my mom grips my other hand, clutching it between hers until we’re at the SUV and she’s forced to let go. My parents haven’t left my side, even though I begged my dad to not stop looking for Val. He’d just shaken his head and told me his brothers were on it and that there was no way he was leaving me.
