“Where am 17”
This was the first thought that came to my mind as I looked around frantically. A private hospital room appeared before my sight. I found myself lying on a comfortable bed with the best medical equipment.
How did I end up here?
Panic seized the proper functioning of my brain as I couldn’t think of any reason and called repeatedly.
“Hello? Is anybody here? Please, help me!”
My breath came out in short, ragged gasps as my heart threatened to break out of my rib cage. I tried to pull the masculine voice followed by the sound of the door opening stopped me

I couldn’t be more thankful to that kind hearted medical professional for saving my life. He asked me to relax and rest.
“You must be feeling weak after several days of treatment. I will.
Several days?
I almost jumped at the mention of this period as it felt like I was asleep for a maximum of a day or two. My hand spread over my belly protectively as ominous thoughts rang in my mind, I questioned him, wavering between hopes and fears.
“W–What about my baby, doctor? I am pregnant.”

Flashback ended
Jane’s laughter brought me back to reality. I bent to kiss her gently on her cheek, thanking God for blessing me with such a wonderful daughter.
Jane’s birth had given me hope for the future, accelerating my recovery from the devastating betrayal, I silently promised myself that from new on. I would never let anyone hurt her again.
Deep in my thoughts, I was startled when Jane asked me for the third time that day.
“Can 1 please call Zoe, mummy?”
After this incident, we had been in no contact mode with the outside world, so her repeated requests to call Zoe piqued my curiosity. I asked her
“Why do you like him so much, Jane?”
I guessed it was their friendship and the same interest in engineering, but jane giggled and spoke shyly
