Villain's Breeding System: Evolving 999+ Harem into an SSS-Rank Legion-Chapter 239- Overwrite Genetic Code

"What happened tonight—"

"I know."

"I mean—" She stopped. The organizing stop of someone who was trying to find the sentence for something that did not have a standard sentence. "I don’t know what I mean."

He was quiet.

She could feel his warmth behind her. The warm weight of his presence — the warm air around him that was always two degrees above the ambient temperature of any room he was in, that she had been attributing to the hospital’s heating for the last two hours. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Sleep," he said. Quietly.

She closed her eyes.

Opened them.

"My phone is dead," she said. "I haven’t been able to reach Vikram since the parking lot."

Silence.

"I’m sure he’s fine," Raven said.

The plain delivery of it.

She closed her eyes again.

Her hand on her belly. The circular motion — the automatic, warm arc.

The baby moved.

The interior flutter. The small, private signal.

She breathed.

The warm room breathed around her.

And somewhere in his pocket, Raven’s phone received a notification that he did not show her. Did not check in front of her. The small, dark smile that arrived on his face in the curtain-lit dark of the hospital room at two in the morning was not for her to see.

She was already almost asleep.

’Sigh... your husband will be arriving soon here...’ While thinking of something trivial, much more easily as if enjoying his hand moving towards her breast, groping it and feeling the warmth of her back, as if he had not become a devil.

"Aaahn~"

The system window arrived without sound.

The purple-edged notification that appeared in the middle air approximately fourteen inches in front of his face — visible only to him, the floating quality of a system that had been calibrated to his perception and nobody else’s. He read it without moving. Without changing his expression. His eyes tracking the text with the unhurried quality of someone reading something they found interesting.

He looked at it for three seconds.

Then the window closed.

He looked at her.

She was trembling.

The fine, full-body trembling of a body that had been through something and had not finished processing it. Her back to him. His coat over her. Her hair dark against the pillow, the disheveled quality of hair that had been gripped and released and gripped again over the course of several hours.

The round, warm swell of her belly under his arm.

He smiled.

The small, private smile — the dark quality of it in the curtain-lit room, the smile that was not for her to see and was not performed for any audience. The satisfied smile of a man who had been given information that confirmed a plan was proceeding correctly.

’1/10.’

He looked at her belly.

His palm against the warm, tight skin of it. The warm weight of the life inside — the small, present heat of it, pushing back slightly against his hand the way living things pushed back against pressure.

’Nine more.’

She was shaking.

She was aware of this before she was fully aware of anything else — the involuntary trembling that moved through her in waves, the fine vibration of a system that had been run past its design limits and was now cooling down unevenly.

Her body.

She took inventory, the way a person did when they were arriving back into their own body after an extended absence. The reporting-in quality of sensation arriving from various locations.

Her jaw — still. The residual ache of several hours ago, the car, the thing she had done in the car that now felt like it had happened to someone else but had the physical evidence of having happened to her.

Her thighs — sore. Not the vague, general soreness of tired muscles. The localized soreness of muscles that had been doing something at their outer range of motion for a sustained period, the inner-thigh ache that told a very precise story.

Her breasts — tender. The post-stimulation tenderness of nipples that had been paid a great deal of attention, the tight-and-sore quality of them. Still damp. The warmth of them telling on themselves.

And between her legs.

The complete soreness there — the deeply-interior ache of flesh that had been asked to accommodate something it had not previously accommodated, the honest, physical report of a body that had done something new and was telling her, with the detailed vocabulary of soreness, exactly how new it had been.

She could still feel him there.

Not physically — he had moved, she was aware of the space between them. But the interior awareness of the place he had been, the ghost-presence of having been filled in a way that her body had not forgotten. The warmth of him still sitting there, deep, the warm, remaining evidence of it.

’What have I done.’

The thought arrived.

Clean. Clear. The undecorated sentence of a woman arriving at a full accounting.

’What have I done. What have I done. I am five months pregnant and I am in a hospital bed and I am naked and my body is — he is — Vikram is — the baby—’

Her hand found her belly.

The automatic gesture — both palms pressing over the round, warm swell, the clutching quality of someone reaching for the one fixed point in a spinning room.

The baby moved.

The interior flutter. The small, living signal.

She pressed harder. Her fingers spread.

’I’m sorry,’ she thought, directed inward, toward the small warmth inside her. ’I’m sorry. You don’t know what — you don’t — I’m sorry.’

The tears came.

Not dramatically. The quiet overflow — the tired crying of someone who had already cried several times tonight and had arrived at the version of crying that was simply the eyes reporting excess fluid without the dramatic architecture of sobs.

She pressed her lips together.

’Vikram.’

His face arrived. The parking-lot face — the terrible look, the wrong-conclusion look. The jaw and the fist and the ’How long.’

She had heard his voice through a toilet wall saying things she had been afraid to hear. She had stood in a parking lot while he drove away. She had gotten into another man’s car.

She had done things in that car.

She had written ’wife’ on a hospital form.

She had—

The tears ran sideways across her face into the pillow. The lying-down direction of tears.

’He is somewhere on the highway. I haven’t been able to reach him. My phone is dead. He drove away angry and I haven’t been able to reach him and I have been—’

A kiss on her forehead.

She stilled.

The gentle, warm press of lips against her hairline — not demanding anything, just present. The unhurried quality of it.

She looked up at him.

He was looking at her. The purple eyes in the dark. His expression — the warm expression. The one she had been receiving all evening. The particular quality of someone who was genuinely looking at the person in front of them.

"’I promised you,’" he said. Quietly.

She stared at him.

"’Didn’t I.’" Not a question. The statement-delivery of someone revisiting an established thing. "’This is the last night. After this—’" He held her gaze. "’You don’t have to worry.’"
