Ryan turned to Evelyn.
"Ma'am, are you alright if I leave for a while to check up there?"
Evelyn, lying on the ground amidst the fallen leaves, stared at him for a moment. She wouldn't have stayed here if her stomach hadn't been feeling like it was contracting. She would climb back up there.
But she worries something has happened to her baby inside. What if—
She didn't even dare to think about it.
"I will get help," he promised, after he saw her not saying anything, and her gaze showed how worried and afraid she was. "You are not losing anyone. Not today, ma'am..."
Evelyn looked up at him, tears clouding her sight as the world spun around her.
At the same time, the unbearable pain in her lower abdomen threatened to take over again.
"Y-Yes... Please hurry." She softly whispers while closing her eyes, trying to distract her mind from the pain.
She will trust Ryan that her baby will be all right. She will trust him to get help soon.
...
The Valley.
