Chapter Twenty-Two

“I must be barren, Cameron,” she said dejectedly. She was upset. It was a month later and she’d lightly bled. “The poison must have permanently damaged me.”

“Bess said not to be upset, Abby. Ye were being poisoned. Yer body canna be expected to recuperate so quickly,” he said gently, playing with a lock of her hair on the side of her face.

Her eyes were watery. Her troubled gaze studied him.

“There’s such little time left,” she whispered desperately, looking away. She felt the panic seize her. “Dear God, I cannot leave you, Cameron,” she said, looking back at him as her trembling hand came up to her mouth. “I’ll die without you. I don’t want to be married off to someone else,” she said, her body trembling in fear.

Abby was trembling violently and had gone pale. She ran to the chamber pot and threw up the contents of her noon meal. He went over to her, with water and a cloth. He rubbed her back until she stopped retching, then handed her the cloth and the water.

“Thank you,” she said, her voice trembling.

“Ye are nay barren, my love,” he said, bringing her into his arms and resting his head on hers. “And I’ve already told ye, sweetness, I will not allow anyone take ye from me.”

“And have that horrible night-terror come to life? Never. I’ll never allow you to put yourself in danger for me,” she said forcefully.

He sighed. It would do no good to argue with her now. She needed his strength and assurance, not an argument.

“Doona place so much strain on yerself, Abby. Bess said that the strain would make it more difficult to conceive. Ye should be happy that ye’ve received yer monthly. This means that ye’re body has almost fully recovered from the poison.”

“Yes, but it’s not as it’s always been. It’s very light,” she said, blushing prettily.

“Get some rest,” he said gently.

“Actually, I’m going to spend some time with Orfeld.” She giggled at his expression. “He’s old and lonely.”

“And damned meddlesome,” Cameron grumbled. “Doona tire yerself, Abby. I mean it,” he said when she shook her head. “And be careful. Some of the clan members have been ill. A couple even have lung fever.

She nodded and gave him a kiss before leaving the room.
