My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Pregnant!

The moment Bella heard the door finally closed, all the toughness she had displayed in front of John Turner suddenly vanished.

Her shoulders dropped. Tears began flowing down her cheeks. She cries in silence, pouring her sadness while making a vow in her heart that she will never forget and forgive Tristan Sinclair for what he did to her now.

After crying for a while, Bella felt her eyes sting because there were no more tears to flow.

Now, she only wants to go somewhere to sleep. Perhaps, after her long sleep, she might forget everything.

Bella slowly rises from her seat but feels her head spinning, and her gaze turns dark. With difficulty, she forced herself to leave the VIP room.

When Bella arrived at the main entrance, she couldn't help but smile bitterly as she looked at the sky. The sky seemed to share the same feeling as her heart, dark with rumbling thunder.

She didn't see anyone walking outside, nor any taxis parked in front of the building, as if they had avoided the heavy rain about to hit the city.

Under the gloomy dark sky, Bella walked along the pedestrian path by the dim light of street lights. She didn't care when others looked at her strangely—as if observing a woman wandering around in the rain, her hair and dress getting wet.

The sound of the wind made her ears numb, and the cold air began to pierce her pores. Bella's steps quickened despite not knowing where to go.

She just wanted to walk along the pedestrian paths and beg the rain to erase the traces of Tristan and his damn family from her mind.

Amidst her chaotic thoughts, Bella began to think about her future. Should she return to her family? This question lingered in her mind, but the thought of her parents scolding her as usual because she wasn't pregnant dismissed the idea.

She couldn't go back there. She will feel more hurt if she returns to her parent's house.

After numerous steps and minutes, Bella finally stopped at an intersection, and her mind started to feel blank as if a dark fog enveloped her thoughts.

A faint smile appeared when she saw a red light.

'Walk!!' Bella whispered under her breath. She closed her eyes and took a few steps forward, but her weak knee gave in.

Before her head hit the wet asphalt, her eyes slowly opened. She saw the light approaching and suddenly stopped not far from her.

'Why did you stop!?' Bella muttered before darkness consumed her.

Upon opening her eyes, Bella saw a middle-aged man in a white doctor's robe standing beside her bed. She noticed the Promise Hospital logo on his robe.

'Why am I in the hospital?'

Bella looked around and was shocked to realize she was in the emergency room. Many hospital beds were lined up near hers, but only a few were occupied. She also noticed several nurses and doctors checking on the other patients passing her bed.

She couldn't recall what had happened to her. The last thing she remembered she was walking in the rain.

Curious, Bella turned her gaze to the Doctor, "Doctor, why am I here? What happened to me?" There was a trace of worry in her tone.

"Ms. Donovan, you are finally awake," the Doctor greeted her gently. Two nurses standing beside him also smiled at her.

Bella faintly smiled at them. She started to recall what happened before walking in the rain; she had left Platinum Restaurant after meeting John Turner, Tristan's lawyer.

'Tristan!'

Just thinking about him was enough to reopen the wound in her heart. The pain that had faded away amid the heavy rain started tormenting her again.

'I'm a divorced woman! The man I love divorced me just because I can't give him a child. How dare he—' Suddenly, Bella felt suffocated, remembering what had happened in the restaurant.

Her chest felt heavy, and her breathing became short. Slowly, she raised her hand to rub her chest to relieve the tightness while diverting her thoughts, but the more she tried, the more evident Tristan's image appeared.

As she struggled to breathe, she noticed the Doctor swiftly instructing the nurse to administer oxygen to help her breathe normally. She stopped them.

"D-Doctor, no need. I'm... Fine!" Bella said in a breathless voice. She felt suffocated, not because something had happened to her chest, but because she remembered the pain Tristan had caused her.

It was still hard for Bella to believe her status changed quickly. In the morning, she was married; in the evening, she divorced. The pain and disappointment she felt lingered.

How could she explain this to others, especially her family? Just thinking about it made her chest hurt even more.

"D-Doctor, I'm really fine. There's no need to put that thing," Bella tried to smile, even though it seemed forced.

"Are you sure, Ms. Donovan?" The Doctor asked while checking her condition.
