His soul-Chapter 491: Invisible wound

It’s been a week since Gina’s return, the atmosphere at the Sanders’ house has become more lively. Gina’s pregnancy had a tremendous impact on everyone, especially Julian. Not having time to be by Sandra’s side when Gina was growing in her womb made Julian very protective of Gina. Every food that will be given to Gina must first pass a strict inspection process under Julian’s supervision.

By the time it was mealtime, Julian would give up his last meal to make sure Gina finished hers first. Seeing Gina still experiencing severe morning sickness that knows no time makes Julian have to push himself to make sure Gina gets the best food intake even though the food will only last a few hours in Gina’s stomach before vomiting again.

"Come on baby, just a little more." Julian gently coaxed Gina into finishing her meal.

Gina shook her head. "I’m full, Daddy."

Julian’s one eyebrow raised, Julian felt sad to see Gina say full. Even though for almost thirty minutes Gina only ate a few mouthfuls.

"Listen, baby. Right now your body needs a lot of nutrition, not only for you but for your baby. Who is growing there needs a lot of nutrition to support the development of his brain, cells and organs. You don’t want that if something happens. what you don’t want in your baby just because of food?"

Gina’s face went pale. "Daddy..."

"Sorry dear, Daddy didn’t mean to scare you. Daddy’s telling the truth, the first three months of a baby’s life in the womb determine its future, baby. That’s why you have to force yourself to eat," said Julian again, Julian was really patient. against Gina.

"I’m tired of vomiting, Dad. Every time my stomach is filled with large quantities of food, the intensity of vomiting will also be more frequent." Gina expressed her anxiety.

Gina’s honest answer made Julian’s heart feel as if it had been forced out of his chest cavity, his mind filled with painful feelings. Guilt resurfaced, various questions immediately flashed without being able to be prevented.

"Did Sandra have morning sickness as bad as Gina?"

"Who looked after Sandra then?"

"Who monitors the nutritional content of the food?"

All these questions came and made Julian feel helpless, Julian really became the most jerk of a man at that time by letting Sandra go through her troubles alone. Pregnancy that should have been filled with joy and happiness did not turn into worthless suffering.

"I’m going to bed, Dad. I’m so sleepy," Gina said quietly, interrupting Julian’s thoughts.

Julian, who had stuttered for a few seconds because he was surprised to hear Gina’s words, managed to regain his composure. "Okay then, but before going to bed you have to finish the milk first."

Gina nodded slowly, fortunately Gina’s disgust and trauma to milk disappeared during her pregnancy. Because if not, somehow Gina will survive, considering that Gina always vomits her food and the special milk for pregnant women recommended by doctor Olivia is the only source of energy that Gina doesn’t vomit.

Julian’s smile broadened when he saw Gina finish her milk, a glass of highly nutritious milk that is very good for a two month old fetus was finished by Gina without any leftovers.

"Ok now you can sleep," said Julian softly.

Gina smiled. "Where’s daddy?"

"Daddy will come down for a while, Daddy has some things to take care of. Daddy has to monitor your brother’s work at the office," said Julian, lying a little, he deliberately brought work problems at the office because he didn’t want Gina to know about him. actually going down to eat. Julian didn’t want Gina to find out that he’d been eating late for the past week.

"Poor Diego," Gina muttered quietly. "He needs a secretary to help him, Dad."

"Yeah, but Diego refused. He insisted on saying he could do everything himself and turned down Daddy’s offer to find him a new secretary."

Gina slowly lowered her head, her hands simultaneously touching her stomach. "If only I could, I’d still be helping Diego in the office," Gina said quietly.

"Honey," Julian groaned hoarsely. "Daddy knows you want to help Diego, Daddy knows your goal is noble to want to take care of our family business, but right now please get that desire out of your head. All you have to think about right now is your child, the baby growing in your womb. The baby is your top priority now." Julian stopped his words because his chest felt tight. "Daddy can still help Diego from home, don’t worry, all our family business will be fine even if only Diego takes care of it alone."

Gina lifted her face, stared sadly at her father for a few moments silently. Gina is scanning her father’s old face who looks very tired. Taking care of her, who is pregnant like now must not be an easy thing for a man of her father’s age.

"Your eyes are droopy, you need sleep, honey." Julian squeezed Gina’s hand which looked thinner, continued to vomit food making Gina lose several kilos of body weight.

Gina nodded slowly, confirming her father’s words. After seeing Gina’s agreement, Julian carefully helped Gina lie down. Julian arranged the pillows in such a way that Gina felt comfortable, before leaving Gina who was already lying down. Julian landed a loving kiss on Gina’s forehead.

"Go to sleep, honey."

Gina smiled. "Thank you, Daddy."

"Don’t thank me, Daddy didn’t do anything. Now close your eyes, don’t think anything weird. Daddy will take care of everything."

Gina’s smile widened when she heard her father’s words, because her sleepiness could no longer be contained, Gina slowly closed her eyes. Only being able to sleep soundly for two hours in the past week has made Gina always sleepy after sunbathing and having breakfast.

After making sure Gina slept, Julian then walked away from Gina’s room. As Julian closed the door, Rosa, who had just finished taking a shower, came out of her room.

"Gina asleep, Dad?"

Julian nodded slowly in response to Rosa’s question who was walking towards him. "Yes."

"Oh thank God, she needs a lot of rest," said Rosa gratefully, remembering how Gina’s condition every night worried Rosa. "When are we going to take Gina to a psychiatrist, Dad?"

Julian’s face immediately darkened when he heard Rosa’s question, Julian looked angry when Rosa talked about a psychiatrist. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"It’s for Gina’s sake, Dad," said Rosa quickly as soon as she realized her father’s anger. "Does Daddy want to see Gina like this all the time? She needs expert help, her baby’s life will be in danger if Gina is left like this."

The anger on Julian’s face disappeared, replaced with fear. The memory of Gina’s cries that came almost every night in her sleep made Julian’s chest feel tight.

"I can’t bear to see Gina keep crying like that, Dad. Gina has wounds inside of her, wounds that can’t be seen and only people with special skills can heal them. Psychiatrists don’t just take care of people with mental disorders, they also deal with people who have problems like Gina," said Rosa again in a trembling voice. "Abandoning her husband while pregnant must have left a big wound inside, Gina. And we have to heal that wound as soon as possible before it’s too late."

Slowly Julian’s head lowered, actually it wasn’t the only time Rosa spoke like this. Rosa had spoken to him several times since they had all seen how Gina was crying and moaning in her sleep most nights, in those tears they could all hear Massimo’s name coming out of Gina’s lips. How Gina asked Massimo not to leave her, until the various apologies that Gina said to Massimo in her sleep.

Actually Julian wanted to make a revenge on Massimo about Gina’s current condition, but because he remembered the existence of Gina’s precious baby, Julian finally chose not to disturb Massimo who was already living in America. Despite knowing that Massimo had moved to America, Julian still didn’t let his guard down at home. Julian continued to enforce strict security around his house so that Massimo’s men could not enter.

"Dad..."

"Okay, let’s take Gina to a psychiatrist. We’ll heal the wound inside Gina," replied Julian in a trembling voice. "Gina must recover and forget about that bastard, Gina’s tears are too precious for such an ignorant human."
