Chapter  38

ISABELLA'S POV

I continued to stare at the screen, my eyes straining to comprehend the blankness.

I was actually supposed to be happy about this news. After all, just a week ago, I was wishing for exactly the same result.

But a lot had changed since then, and right now, all I could ask was how? how could I be happy now?

How could I go back to my family and tell them that the baby they were already celebrating wasn't real?

And what about James? And his opportunist family members who were already making plans, speaking about the future as if it was set in stone.

And most importantly, what about me?

I didn’t just think I was pregnant. I felt it.

The symptoms were there, undeniable, and I could still touch the small protrusion of what I believed was the life growing inside me.

This had to be some mistake. Something wasn’t adding up.

Doctor Shaw sighed softly, a sound that seemed to come from a place of understanding.

She stepped closer, her initial anxiety, and seemed to dissolve.
