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

Chapter 947:

The prospect of harm befalling his newly discovered grandchild represented an intolerable risk to his dynastic ambitions.

Having delivered his imperatives, Rodger acknowledged his own authority with a satisfied nod. He meticulously adjusted his silk tie, visibly gratified with this unexpected turn of events, then strode purposefully from the sterile hospital chamber.

The antiseptic air hung heavy between Sadie and Nathan, now the room’s sole occupants.

Sadie remained enveloped in cognitive fog, Rodger’s startling revelation having delivered a psychological blow more potent than her physical ailment.

She was pregnant? How had this momentous development escaped her attention? Her body had betrayed no obvious signals of this life-altering condition.

Her unfocused eyes drifted languidly toward Nathan’s apprehensive figure.

As their gazes locked, his features rearranged themselves into an expression of culpable discomfort.

He inclined his body toward her, his voice descending to a whisper. “Sadie… the pregnancy is genuine. Medical confirmation places conception slightly beyond four weeks ago. With my father present, I manufactured necessary falsehoods solely to defuse his suspicions.” His hand traveled nervously to massage the tense muscles at his nape, discomfort radiating from every pore. “I claimed paternity of your child.” The declaration had materialized from desperate improvisation—a hasty barrier erected against the tsunami of Rodger’s potential machinations.

Sadie’s brow furrowed deeply. Nathan’s mouth continued forming words, but they dissolved into meaningless vibrations before reaching her consciousness.

With primal intuition guiding her movements, her trembling fingers ascended to rest protectively across the still-flat plane of her abdomen. Could another fragile existence truly be taking form within her womb? Pregnancy had revisited her? And conception occurred merely four weeks prior?

Memories assaulted her consciousness with brutal clarity—Noah’s concealed features, the searing electricity of his intimate caress—every sensation cascaded through her mind with merciless intensity.

This embryonic life carried Noah’s genetic imprint!

Sadie’s delicate fingers contracted into tight fists as a maelstrom of conflicting emotions seized control of her faculties.noveldrama

How had fate engineered such a devastating complication? Noah was already married to Hailey, and imminently they would welcome their own offspring. What significance could her parallel pregnancy possibly hold amid this tangled web?

Nathan observed the transformation sweeping across her features. Evidently, his elaborate justification had failed to penetrate the fortress of her introspection.

“Sadie, your physical well-being must remain paramount. Reserve these complex contemplations for when strength returns to your body.”
