Chapter 156: Guilt and Remorse
Killian's POV
I stood before Giselle's bedroom door with guilt and remorse etched across my face. The DNA results had really hit me hard. I can't continue my day without talking this through with Giselle. Even though I did not know where to start with all the bad things I had done, I rushed to Giselle's room, determined to make amends with her.
I couldn't rest until I apologized for everything I had done to Giselle and sought her forgiveness.
After collecting myself together, I've finally made up my mind. I brought our son with me to give him back to his mother.
The door swung open, pulling me from my thoughts. I steeled myself, ready to face this head-on, only for the door to reveal Giselle's attendant, who looked at me in surprise. Clearly, she wasn't expecting to see me at the other side of the door.
"I heard that Giselle has woken up," I began, my voice laced with apprehension. "Tell her that I came to visit. I wish to talk to her, but it's okay if she doesn't want to talk to me."
I paused, then added, "I also brought our son with me. I will now return him to her." My heart raced, anxious to see Giselle once more so I could reconcile with her.
I hope she will allow me to talk to her.
The omega pushed the door wide open so I could hand her my son. She took him carefully from my arms, and I watched as she slowly disappeared into the room.
I waited outside Giselle's bedroom while I silently looked inside through the open door, waiting for Giselle's attendant to come back again.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
As the Alpha, of course, I had the authority to barge in if I wanted and force Giselle to talk to me even if she didn't want to.
However, from now on, I'm going to do things right.
For the sake of my newborn son, I had to be in a good relationship with his mother.
My mother had always warned me about putting my son first above all else and that I should think about my son first when I make my decisions.
I always thought she was telling me to do those things because my son is the future Alpha of the Pack, and I should treat him with caution.
However, now that I have become a father, I suddenly developed a strong urge to protect my son and give him all the best in the world.
When Giselle was still pregnant, it didn't feel too real to me. However, the moment I laid my eyes on my son, I heard his first cry and touched his skin. I finally realized what it truly felt to be a father.
I held my breath when the attendant finally appeared out of the corner. I waited anxiously as I watched her slowly approach me.
"Alpha, please come inside," the attendant lowered her head as she pulled the door open and walked to the side.
I stood rooted on the spot, not expecting that Giselle would still be willing to hear me out after what I had done.
I felt utterly undeserving. I felt like a complete asshole. This made me feel more ashamed to face her.
With a trembling heart, I carefully stepped into the room, each footfall quickening the pulse in my ears.
As I drew closer to where she lay, I stopped in my tracks, my breath catching in my throat as I finally laid eyes on Giselle.
There, perched on the edge of her bed, she cradled our newborn son close to her chest with her weary arms.
She still looked as pale as she had when I had left her. Her red, rosy lips had turned cracked and dry, and her shiny hair pressed onto her skin with sweat.
She's still wearing the same clothes she wore in her labor, but she couldn't care less about what she looks as she held her son dearly into her heart.
The sight of her in such a state tore at my heart; the memories of how had so callously taken our child from her before she could even get a hold of her son right after his birth haunted me.
I deprived her of the precious moments every mother deserves. After taking our child away, she could finally hold him dearly in her arms.
"Giselle," I uttered her name, my voice quivering.
Giselle didn't look at me. She didn't move. She continued hugging our son without facing me.
With a deep, steadying breath, I moved to kneel at her bedside, my eyes never leaving her face.
The omegas that were inside the
room were shocked when they saw what I did. They couldn't believe that an Alpha would kneel before
someone lower than him. Thiol.ne
shows how serious and remorseful I am.
I remembered how she also knelt before me, begging me to believe her, but I never did. Now that things had come to this, I should also kneel before her and beg for her forgiveness.
My heart ached when I saw how her face was still wet with tears. The Doctor had informed me that even though she was already awake, the sedative hadn't completely worn off, so she could still be weak.
"Giselle, I'm so sorry for hurting you and our son. I should have never doubted you." I spoke remorsefully as I lowered my head before her.
