2283. Disappointment
Anakin Forerunner drove the hoverbike into Padmé Amidala's mansion. He jumped off the hoverbike and ran inside.
Senator Bell Organa was in the living room, looking at him in astonishment. "Anakin! You're here. I couldn't get in touch with you! "
"Padmé! How's Padmé?! "Anakin rushed up and grabbed Organa's hand without hesitation.
Bell Organa looked at Anakin with a complicated expression. He shook his head and sighed. "She's in the room. Go in."
Anakin rushed into Padmé's room like a gust of wind, only to see a pale, haggard beauty lying quietly on the large white bed decorated with fresh leaves and fresh flowers. Her eyes were tightly shut, her long eyelashes trembling uncontrollably, and her breathing was very rapid. It was obvious that she was having a nightmare. Seeing her like this, Anakin was heartbroken. He ran up to the bed and gently pulled Padmé into his arms.
Padmé opened her eyes with difficulty. When she saw the man in front of her, she burst into tears. "Anakin … Anakin … I … I'm not dreaming, am I …" Although she said so, she hugged Anakin tightly and refused to let go.
"You're not dreaming. I'm here. I've always been here. I've always been here!!" Anakin kissed Padmé's forehead desperately and hugged his lover tightly with his only arm.
Bell Organa, who was at the door, understood everything. He let out a long sigh, shook his head helplessly, and turned to leave. He would go to the parliament. That would be his final battlefield. Yes, he would fight his final battle for the Republic!
Only then did Padmé realize that something was wrong with Anakin. She raised her head abruptly and cupped Anakin's face with both hands. When she saw the additional scars on his face, her heart broke. At that moment, she suddenly realized that Anakin's right sleeve was empty!!
"Anakin! Your … your … your … "Padmé touched her lover's right arm in a flurry, and tears flowed down her cheeks again." No … Anakin … your hand … why … why … "
Anakin Skywalker hugged Padmé tightly and kept kissing her face. "It's okay, Padmé. I still have you. That's enough. I don't want anything else in this life. After all, this is war. In order to protect the Republic and the people, I have to do this. "
But upon hearing this, Padmé's face suddenly turned pale. She said in a trembling voice, "The Republic … Yes … The Republic …" She struggled desperately and grabbed Anakin's shoulder, shouting with all her might, "The Republic! He wanted … He wanted to destroy the Republic! He wanted to destroy China! Ahhhhhh … Save the Republic, Anakin, save the Republic … "With that, she burst into tears.
"What's going on? What happened? Who wants to destroy the Republic? "Anakin asked anxiously. He had been locked in the library of Terminus Temple for the past few days and was completely unaware of the series of changes that had occurred outside.
However, Padmé Amidala's mental state had completely collapsed. Her lover's injury, the Republic's demise, and Palpatine's coercion had already worn her out. Now, she could only cry bitterly, unable to form a complete sentence.
Seeing this, Anakin Skywalker's heart was filled with grief. He hugged Padmé tightly, but was unable to calm her down. He had no choice but to use the Force to gently brush Padmé's face. Then, Padmé fell into a deep sleep. But even in her sleep, her eyelids kept twitching. It was clearly not a pleasant sleep.
Anakin tried again, but found that he could not completely calm Padmé down, not even with the Force. Moreover, he keenly noticed that Padmé's life force was slowly declining! Why was that? He stood up and walked out of the door, only to find that Bell Organa had already left. So, he asked a doctor and found out that Padmé was pregnant!
Padmé … is pregnant? My child?? Anakin Skywalker hurriedly ran back to the bedroom and knelt before Padmé's bed, gently caressing her body. He wanted to tell Padmé the happiness and love in his heart, but seeing her deep in a nightmare, he did not know what to do for a moment. And what did Padmé's words mean?
Anakin Skywalker took out his communicator and blankly scrolled through his contacts. There were not many names in his contacts. Master Yoda, Master Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padmé, Ahsoka Tano … Anakin did not know how to face these people and hesitated for a moment. Moreover, Obi-Wan Kenobi did not know where he had gone … He suddenly remembered that something big had happened in Terminus Temple before he left. But at that time, he was only concerned about Padmé and did not pay too much attention to it before running away.
He thought for a moment, moved his finger to Master Windu's name, and stopped … After a moment, he continued moving his finger towards Ahsoka Tano's name. But just as his finger moved halfway, a call came in. Anakin looked at the name. Shiv Palpatine! Sir President! Anakin could not help but feel relieved. That's right, there's still Sir President. With his wisdom, he must know what happened and how to solve it! Definitely!
Anakin accepted the call, and Palpatine's holographic image appeared in front of him. But at this time, the old man also looked tired and haggard, as if he had aged a few years. After seeing Anakin, he looked much better. He raised his head and said, "Ah, Anakin, my child, it's great to be able to see you again! Ever since you attacked the midpoint last time, there has been no news from you. I was very worried … "
"What happened, Sir President? I, I feel like everything is not quite right! "Anakin asked anxiously.
Palpatine let out a long sigh, and the wrinkles on his face became even deeper. He slowly said, "Come to my office, Anakin. I … can't hold on for much longer. "
Anakin was at a loss. Sir President said that he could not hold on for much longer? Then … then who else was there? Who else could bear all of this? What … was going on? He stood up and solemnly instructed the doctor outside to take good care of Padmé and inform him immediately if there was any problem. Then, he sped towards the parliament building.
