Shattered by the Alpha Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 106

Chapter92

Whilst we sat in the waiting room, Keith dropped a bombshell: Byron and Ophelia were tying the knot in November. I was hit with surprise and realized that I must have missed Ophelia’s calls while my phone was on silent during the movie. Keith then asked a question that caught me off guard: would I have forgiven Byron? I answered honestly, explaining that while I understood Ophelia’s love for him, I didn’t think I could have gotten past his mistakes.

I added that everyone has a different mindset, and at least Byron hadn’t cheated that one I didn’t worded out. Keith’s expression turned slightly disappointed, and I sensed that he was trying to draw a parallel between Byron and Ophelia’s situation and our own. But my answer remained the same – I wasn’t going to sugarcoat my feelings or pretend that everything was okay when it wasn’t

As the doctor called us in, I quickly corrected her assumption that Keith and I were a married couple. I wanted to make it clear that we were not together in that way, and that he was simply the father of my child. I didn’t want any misunderstandings or false impressions, especially not in a formal setting like a doctor’s office. To me, Keith was just the person I was having a baby with nothing more, nothing less. I was determined to keep our relationship strictly as co–parents, with no romantic or legal entanglements.

The doctor’s words cut through me. “There’s no baby in your uterus,” she whispered, her voice slightly shock, but surprisingly calm considering the devastating news she had just delivered.

The room around me began to spin, and I felt like I was falling apart again. The distress was suffocating, a heavy weight that crushed my chest and made it hard to breathe. Tears formed in my eyes but I was too exhausted to break down, Keith’s hand held mine and I didn’t backed off, finding myself horror stricken by the cruel news.

The doctor’s expression was pitying, but her words were direct and matter–of–fact, she sympathized gently. “I’m so sorry,” She paused, studying me with a apologetic gaze. “I know this isn’t what you were expecting to hear. It’s a lot to take in. But I have some questions for you,”

“I’m not seeing a viable pregnancy in the uterus,” she explained. “But that doesn’t necessarily mean there’s no pregnancy at all. We need to run some more tests to determine what’s going on.” She paused, her gaze locked on mine. “Can you tell me when your last period was, and when you first suspected you might be pregnant?”

I answered all her questions all while holding excruciating pain inside me and doctor’s expression remained professional as she stood up from the chair “Karissa, I’ll be back, Can you please wait here for just a few minutes?”

I nodded, feeling tongue tied The doctor smiled gently and placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. “We’ll get you the help you need.” With that, she turned and left the exam room, leaving Reith and me alone in the silence. He took my hand again his eyes filled with concern and tears.

“It’s going to be okay, Karissa. We’ll get through this together,” he whispered, his voice full of reassurance

His arms reached for me attempting to comfort me through a hug, But I pulled away, my body shaking internally. I felt like I was being hammered into pieces, my already injured heart breaking further. Keith looked at me brokenly, but I couldn’t bear to meet his gaze. I turned away wiping the tears that fell.

Twenty minutes later, I lay back on the exam table, trying to calm my racing thoughts as two medical professionals swept into the room, their faces focused. “We’ll need to perform a vaginal ultrasound to locate the pregnancy, Miss…?” one of the doctors inquired, her eyes locked on mine.

“Davis,” I replied, my voice a crooked whisper. The doctor nodded, her expression sympathetic, as she began their examination after getting me into a comfortable position.

As the doctor prepared the ultrasound machine, I felt my hand trembling. What if something was wrong? What if… The doctor’s voice cut through my thoughts again. “This might be a little uncomfortable, Karissa. I’m going to insert the ultrasound wand now.”

Thodded, trying to steel myself for what was to come. The doctor gently inserted the wand, and I felt a pang of discomfort. But it was nothing compared to the emotional pain that was tearing me apart in two.

As the doctor moved the wand around, I couldn’t help but think about the baby I might be losing Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes, and I felt my chest tighten with grief. The doctor’s expression was intent, her eyes fixed on the ultrasound screen.

After what felt like an eternity, the doctor finally removed the wand. “Let’s take a look at your HCG levels,” she said, nodding to the nurse, who quickly took a blood sample from my arm.
