Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 944:

As Nathan made his way to the elevator, he ran into someone coming from the opposite direction.

Rodger was striding toward Sadie’s room, his face grim, his pace brisk. He had come straight from the office, and his mission was to ask Sadie for help with Jarrett’s predicament.

He never expected to walk into such a scene. Why was his reckless second son holding an unconscious Sadie?

Rodger froze in his tracks, his eyes growing wide with disbelief. What had happened to Sadie?

But Nathan had no time to explain. His main concern was the woman in his arms. He didn’t dare to delay a minute longer, for fear that it might make her condition worse.

“Move out of the way, Dad!” Nathan said, his voice tight and urgent. He didn’t wait for his father’s reaction and darted into the elevator just as the doors opened.

Rodger could only stand in place and watch his son disappear as the doors shut.

A terrible sense of foreboding came over him.

Snapping out of his trance, he changed directions and hurried after them.

Nathan burst into the hospital and carried Sadie into the emergency room. “Doctor! I need a doctor!”

A doctor and a handful of nurses soon came over with a stretcher. Nathan placed Sadie on it as gently as he could, then trailed after the medical team as they wheeled her away.

Rodger appeared behind them, his face etched with worry.

The doctor proceeded with an initial assessment, checking Sadie’s temperature and heartbeat.

“She’s running a high fever, and her heart rate is a bit fast,” he said after a moment. “Has she been under a lot of stress? Might be physical or emotional.”

Nathan hesitated before nodding. When he thought about it, Sadie was both physically and emotionally drained.noveldrama

The doctor didn’t press further. He simply ordered a full panel of tests to be done on Sadie. “We’ll need to draw blood and run a more thorough check-up.”

Half an hour later, the doctor approached Nathan and Rodger in the hallway, report in hand, his expression unreadable.

“Are you the patient’s husband?”

Nathan nodded without thinking, still shaken by the whole ordeal.

“Congratulations. Your wife is pregnant. She is just a little over a month along.”

The words fell like a bolt of lightning. Both Nathan and Rodger were stunned into silence. What was happening?

Thinking that they were merely surprised by the unexpected news, the doctor handed Nathan the report. “She fainted because of the fever. She will need proper and ample rest from now on.”
