Ethan's POV "Are you sure you want to cook for me?" I asked her, observing her face closely, now so near mine, within my line of sight.I noticed many changes in her during her pregnancy. Her weight drastically decreased at first, then went up again. Some parts of her body had swollen—Sarah was going through a lot. It’s not easy for her to deal with these transformations. Every time she looked in the mirror, I was sure it must have been hard for her.It was impossible not to notice. She had taken great care of her body before pregnancy, and now she was undergoing changes that could easily shake her confidence. Yet, she never showed it to me. She kept up her strong front.To me, it didn’t matter. Her weight gain, her swollen body parts, or how she no longer matched society’s beauty standards—I didn’t care about any of that. No matter what happened to her, she still captivated me. Her face remained beautiful, her smile still dazzling, her eyes as mesmerizing as ever, and her body warm
Ethan's POVSeeing her unconscious like this, my panic only grew. I hurriedly carried her out of there and rushed to the car, heading straight to the hospital."Sarah, wake up. Please, Sarah," I called out her name with desperate hope, praying that she'd hear me and open her eyes.But Sarah gave no response—no slight movement to indicate she was okay. Not a single groan escaped her lips. Her eyes remained closed, her mouth silent. There was no change from her earlier condition when she fell into my arms, and we tumbled to the ground."Please, someone help her! My wife... she lost consciousness after the fall," I pleaded to a nurse who approached us.They gave me a brief glance before focusing on Sarah's condition. Quickly, they placed her on a gurney and wheeled her into the emergency room. They began conducting rapid checks to diagnose her condition.Even though I’m a doctor, seeing her so helpless rendered me useless. It felt as if all my medical knowledge had disappeared. This time
Ethan's POV“Sir, you should really control yourself.” Luke stepped back, observing his surroundings before turning his worried gaze back to me. “We’re in a hospital right now, it would be best if you stay calm.”It was the umpteenth time someone had asked me to calm down in this place. First Wilson, then Smith, and now Luke, all telling me the same thing. They all wanted me to stay composed.I was close—close to calming down—but the moment I heard what had happened, rage boiled up inside me again, my chest burning with anger. The urge to confront her, to do to her what she did to Sarah, was overwhelming. Diana was genuinely insane. What she had done put Sarah’s life at serious risk.This wasn’t an accident. No, it couldn't have been. She must have planned it. Diana did this to get revenge for Alex’s death that day. But if she wanted revenge, the target should have been me, not Sarah. How could she go after Sarah, who wasn’t even a threat?It wasn’t Sarah who ruined her life. It was h
Sarah's POV - Chapter 139“Why are we meeting Diana, Sarah?” Ethan groaned, his hands resting in his lap. Despite my efforts to convince him to come, he sat stubbornly, refusing to start the car.Ethan gave me a blank look, one filled with confusion. After everything that had happened, he couldn’t understand why I’d want to see Diana. He despised her, hated what she had done to us, and had no desire to face her again. But I couldn’t stop thinking about her situation. Not to justify her actions, but Diana was mentally shattered by Alex’s death.I knew how much Diana loved her son, even though she was sometimes harsh with him. He was her world, and his death must have broken her in unimaginable ways. She had lost control, overcome by grief and anger, and I feared she wanted revenge for Alex’s death.“I don’t excuse what she did to us, Ethan, but considering her state of mind, we should check on her. She’s your only family, and maybe, just maybe, you two can repair things,” I said, gentl
Sarah's POV“It’s raining outside, do you want to watch something?” Ethan entered the room carrying a tray of snacks.I glanced at the tray and saw its contents. For a moment, I felt disappointed because the snacks I had hoped for were savory chips with a bit of spice. Still, instead, he brought me an assortment of berries, other fruit slices, and smoothies. He really has no tolerance for what I want to eat.But he had a point; I have not been good at controlling my cravings lately. If I gave in, I would eat anything that looked tempting. Thankfully, Ethan is pretty strict about it, and he brings me back to my senses. After all, this is for Kenari’s sake. He shouldn’t be eating unhealthy food from my stomach.I needed to resist. “Sure, is there something you’d like to watch?” I grabbed the remote from the table and turned on the TV, which was nearly twice as wide as the door to the room.Ethan placed the wooden tray on the bed, then sat and made himself comfortable beside me. “Just br
Sarah's POV“I’ll introduce you to him once he’s born,” I gently touched her round cheek. I felt a warmth of joy inside.The little girl was genuinely adorable. Her round hazel eyes, small and full red lips, and tiny face with chubby cheeks even softer than a squishy toy made her irresistibly cute. Not only was she charming, but she also had a missing front tooth that added even more to her appeal.Oh my gosh, I couldn’t help but fall in love with her. Her sweet, captivating charm ultimately drew me in.She extended her tiny hand to me, her chubby fingers clenched, but her pinky finger stood straight up. “Do you promise?”Her question made me smile again. “Yes, I promise.” I linked my pinky finger with hers and pulled her closer. “You haven’t told me your name yet.”“Oh, right! I forgot.” She slapped her forehead a little too hard, which startled me, and I quickly grabbed her head, afraid she might tumble backward. “It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m fine,” she said, extending her arms again,
Sarah's POV –“Papa, I’m home.” Grace ran toward him and threw herself into his arms.I smiled at the sight of her being so close to her father, especially after learning that she only had him as her mother had passed away. It pained me to think that, at such a young age, she carried the immense loss of her mother during the time when she should be showered with her care.“She’s adorable, isn’t she?” I turned to Ethan and noticed the surprised look on his face.What’s going on? Why did he make that expression when he saw Grace’s father? Did they have some sort of conflict? Does this mean I should keep my distance from Grace? Ah... now I’m starting to worry.I tugged at Ethan’s fingers to snap him out of it. “What’s wrong, Ethan?” I asked softly.“Papa, Sarah and Uncle brought me home,” Grace's voice drew my attention again as Richard looked our way. I watched them walk toward us, and her father’s expression was the same as Ethan’s—surprised.Carrying Grace, he approached us. “Oh?” He
Sarah POV -“Do you not have a good relationship with James?” I turned to him as he opened the door for me.He glanced at me briefly. “Why do you ask?” He guided me inside carefully, still faithfully holding my hand and supporting my body.I shook my head lightly. “It’s nothing, I’m just curious. You two don’t seem to communicate well. Every time you start talking, it sounds like you're trying to punch and counter each other, then move on to the next attack.”I heard him chuckle softly. “Does it really sound like that?”I nodded. “Yes, it sounds like that and it looks like that. But strangely, your conversations go smoothly. You ask, and he answers, explains, and gives information. I thought he was really neglecting Grace.”I sighed, thinking it would have been the worst if that were true. But thankfully, it wasn’t, even though I had already misunderstood James. I thought he wasn’t a good father, but I didn’t know what he’d been through, what he’d done to raise his daughter alone and
