Giving Birth to the Italian Billionaire's Baby Part 62
Altezza shook his head from side to side. His shoulders and neck felt stiff from too long spent hunched over the monitor screen. Suddenly, his phone rang, displaying Antony's name."Yeah?" he answered on the first ring."Still at the office?" Antony asked from the other end of the line. Altezza glanced at the watch on his left wrist. It was 4:15."I'll be heading home soon," he replied, leaning back in his chair. "What's up, cousin? Any problems?""None! Just wanted to extend an invitation. My beloved wife invites you and yours for dinner at our place tonight.""Finally, you both moved back to Manhattan?""Yups," Antony's voice sounded cheerful."Flavia?""She'll move next academic year. But for now, she's here.""Alright, then Adaline and I will come. Should we bring anything? Or perhaps the appropriate question is 'will you be giving us gifts'?""Already rich but still stingy. But be prepared, cousin, because another cousin will also be coming," Antony said playfully."What?!" Altez

"I always feel not quite right whenever I see you," Altezza replied curtly.Tessa, overhearing them, could only gape in disbelief. Although she didn't understand the man's words, she could tell that he was angry with his cousin. And she never expected to see that handsome face filled with such hostility, because as far as she knew, Altezza was always friendly to everyone."Are they arguing?" Tessa whispered to Adaline, who shook her head in response because she didn't understand what they were saying either."And please, stay away from my wife. Pretend you don't know her even if you accidentally meet her.""Oh come on, Cousin. How could I act like that? Ignoring an angel as beautiful as her just like that? Even other people would do a double-take if they saw her. What about me?" Gian seemed unwilling to back down. Altezza sneered."I don't care. Whatever the reason, you need to keep your distance from her. At least one meter. If not, I'll put blinders on that ugly head of yours." He t

The silence before the storm. Have you ever heard that term? That's what Adaline feels right now. There's an uneasy feeling filling her chest. A feeling Adaline can't quite interpret. Restlessness, discomfort, feeling off. Things like that, but she doesn't know what it's all for.There's nothing wrong with her job. Everything's going smoothly. There are no problems at home either. Although she noticed Altezza has been a bit quiet since their return from Antony's house. But Adaline thinks it might be because of work matters.There are no issues with her mother either because she just got a call from her to check on the routine checkup results. And her mother said everything's fine.So what's this feeling for?Adaline decides to have lunch outside the office area with Tessa. However, when it's time to return, Tessa has a bit of business to attend to, so Adaline ends up returning to the office alone.As Adaline enters the lobby, she's quite surprised to see Jovanka there. Even her fellow

“I myself don't understand, what 'new beginning' you want. Because my cousin clearly started a new beginning since you chose to leave him," Antony responds in his flat tone.The man's eyes glance back at Adaline hiding. Perhaps to make sure Adaline hears all of his words. And now Adaline realizes who Jovanka is, her status, and the reason why the woman is here and searching for her husband."Please, Antony. Give me one more chance." The woman looks so pitiful. Her face seems pleading."It's useless to plead to me. I'm nobody. I have nothing to do with your relationship.“If you really want to meet him, just find him. Because if you truly know him, you'd know where he is," Antony says before leaving the lobby area toward the executive elevator, followed by Gian and Duncan.From her spot, Adaline can see Jovanka sitting back on the sofa. The woman's shoulders appear to be trembling, her face covered by her hands adorned with diamond rings.On one hand, Adaline feels pity. On the other h

Two days passed just like that. Adaline knew that by now Altezza should have returned to Manhattan. But even over the past two days, the man hadn't tried to contact her at all. And Adaline hadn't tried to contact him either because she was afraid of bothering him.That morning was terrible for Adaline. Her morning sickness still hadn't subsided. This time it seemed even worse. Especially because for the past two days, she hadn't been eating properly or getting enough rest.Her body felt weak, her face pale. Every food she ate came back up. Only sweet tea settled well in her stomach.Tessa was so worried every time she went back and forth to the toilet. Sometimes the girl even waited for her, afraid that Adaline might faint from exhaustion."Ada, are you okay?" Tessa looked at her with concern.Adaline tried to wipe the cold sweat off her forehead. Her body felt weak, her head so light, and her eyes seemed to sparkle. Her face looked very pale. Even her lips were chapped."Let's go to

"Altezza?! Why are you like this? You used to say you loved me, but why have you changed like this?""Yes, but that was then. Back then, when you were the Jovanka I knew. The Jovanka who promised to be a good wife. The Jovanka who promised to give me many children."And I lost that love when the Jovanka I knew changed. Changed into an ambitious Jovanka. A Jovanka who likes to break promises," Altezza said flatly, almost without emotion."Altezza, you know my dreams. You know what I want to become. You gave me hope to pursue my dreams.""Yes, I did. I pushed you, I supported you to reach those dreams. But you never felt satisfied."When I asked you to stop, you didn't want to. Even though all I asked for was a momentary pause so you could at least fulfill my dreams, but you didn't make it happen."And I'm tired. Tired of giving you time. Tired of asking you to fulfill my desires," Altezza emphasized."Altezza, please. Haven't I promised that this is the last time? Now I'm back. Let's f

Adaline opened her eyes, unsure of how many times she had done so already. But this time, what she saw was slightly different from the last time she opened her eyes. The ceiling was still white, but the turquoise curtains she had seen before were no longer there."Darling, are you awake?" asked a voice beside her. Adaline turned her head and saw her mother-in-law standing on the right side of her bed."Mamma?" she asked, puzzled."Yes, dear. It's Mamma. How are you feeling now? Are you still dizzy? Weak?""A bit, Mamma," she weakly replied. "Where's Tessa?""She left to go back to the office earlier. She said she'll come back here later this afternoon. I've already contacted your mother; the driver is picking her up to come here," Delila continued without Adaline asking. "Why didn't you tell me that you were experiencing severe morning sickness?" Her mother-in-law reprimanded her. Adaline winced.The sound of the door opening diverted their attention. "Darling, are you okay?" Altezza

Now Altezza's forehead wrinkled. "How do you know that she still loves me?""She said it directly to the three of us. Me, Tessa, and Joanna. We met by chance and she suddenly told us about her love story."At that time, I didn't know that she was your ex-wife. And she also seemed unaware that I am now your wife. She sincerely wanted to apologize and get back together with you. She said she would change. Don't you want to give her a chance?"Altezza's forehead furrowed even more. He looked at Adaline with a puzzled expression. 'What does his wife mean by saying things like that?' The question filled his mind."We got married because of a contract," Adaline answered as if understanding the unspoken question from Altezza. "You wanted me to bear your son in exchange for the expenses you incurred to help heal my mother."Altezza shook his head. "I won't deny that. Because that's indeed the fact."But when I said my marriage vows, I meant them sincerely. This marriage is a covenant between

Adaline's POV:"Dad?" I saw my dad sitting on a bench in the park not far from our old rental house.Dad smiled, patting the empty space next to him, and reluctantly, I walked over and sat down."Why are you here?" I asked, glancing at our old house. The house we left when I entered middle school. The house filled with beautiful memories where I grew up."Do you forget? Back when we were moving, you cried incessantly. Saying to us how much you liked our old house."I smiled and nodded. I did cry a lot back then, begging my parents not to move from there.I didn't want to make new friends because I had a hard time socializing. But Dad said everything would be okay. In fact, if we moved, I would be even happier.Dad said I needed to learn to be more sociable because life is more beautiful with many friends."Why are we here?" I asked, confused.My dad smiled. His face looked so fresh, cheerful, and of course, handsome."Just a reminder that we once had a past," my dad said casually. "Do

Is this some sorta karma?Altezza gazed at his sleeping wife, deeply asleep. The doctor managed to save her. Save their baby.After experiencing a heart attack and losing a lot of blood, his wife could finally return to them. Even though his wife is now declared in a coma, just like himself.Oh God. Is this my payback for all my past mistakes?Why are You like this to me?"Wake up, Darling. Please wake up quickly. Don't you have pity on our two children? I haven't even been able to give them names yet." Altezza whispered to his wife's hand.That hand was so small and weak. The hand that had been holding his all this time. The hand that had always touched him gently. Regardless of what Altezza had ever done to her.Altezza reluctantly rose from his seat. "I'll be right back, hurry and wake up." Altezza kissed his wife's forehead. He bid farewell to his mother and mother-in-law before leaving the hospital.He still limped, his leg condition worsening as he carried Adaline back then, but

Adaline accompanied Altezza back to the hospital for his therapy session. Three times a week, they spent two hours together, even though all Adaline did was watch. After the therapy, Gian would come and accompany them to take Adaline for her prenatal exercises. Altezza never liked it; he always felt jealous whenever Gian took his place as Adaline's companion. But what could he do? His body still wasn't healthy enough to assist. He just hoped that when Adaline gave birth, he would be the one by her side, not Gian.As for Adaline's pregnancy, she was now at 36 weeks, with three to four weeks left until delivery. Stefanie continued to persuade her wife to opt for a cesarean section during delivery, but Adaline remained firm in her decision to have a normal birth, despite knowing the condition of her body.But whatever happened in the future, he only hoped that Adaline would give birth safely. As well as their two babies.Was it just his imagination, or were they being followed since leav

Everyone was running towards the front room. Objects flew, hitting the walls and crashing into pieces. Ceramic and glass shards scattered on the floor. Along with it, the sounds of screams and curses echoed. It was deafening to everyone witnessing it.Yes, Jovanka was raging in her residence. She looked at her assistant with a sharp gaze while Evans stood silently with his blank expression."What's going on?" Cindy glanced between Evans and Jovanka. The middle-aged couple behind her were holding hands in worry and fear simultaneously. "Evans?" Cindy looked at Evans again, seeking an answer.Evans carefully navigated through the glass shards and picked up the papers Jovanka had crumpled in anger. It was a police summons addressed to Jovanka. Not only that, but Cindy also noticed several swollen credit card bills, penalty invoices from the agency's law firm, all addressed to Jovanka Lawrence.Cindy looked at Evans, and Evans returned the gaze. "I told you to stop. But you never cared."

"I'm still better than him, Ada. I won't hurt you. I also won't leave you waiting while I'm in a coma. Because I never wanted to be in a coma. Not like him who left you waiting for so long with the excuse of being in a coma," Gian replied again."Damn you! Come on, Brother, quickly take him home. If possible, send him straight back to Italy to his parents," pleaded Altezza, looking pitiful.Antony sighed. He slapped his thighs and stood up. "I need him, Al. I need a right-hand man since you took Duncan. Come on, Gian, get up." He ordered softly. Gian complied."Thank you," Altezza replied as Antony was willing to fulfill his request."We're going home, Ada," Antony replied, acknowledged by Adaline's nod. "But if you're indeed tempted by Gian's words, just contact me. I'll willingly help you file for divorce from your husband," he replied flatly.Altezza gaped at him while Gian cheered happily. "Yes!" He shouted."Damn you both! Get out of here! Never show up here again!" Altezza yelle

Altezza is indeed conscious, but that doesn't mean she can go home freely. Her broken bones have indeed improved during her coma period, but she still needs intensive care. Because her body didn't move for three months, some parts of her body became swollen and stiff. So, Altezza has to undergo regular therapy.The wound on her head has also dried up. Although the doctor stated that Altezza would definitely have side effects due to the surgery.Meanwhile, after Altezza regained consciousness, the legal process began. During the accident, it turns out that Altezza wasn't the only victim. Two other cars were also hit in the incident. So, the total accident involved four cars and nine victims, although it didn't result in any fatalities. However, among the nine people, Altezza suffered the most severe injuries, while the others only suffered minor injuries.Adaline has never wanted to know the cause of the accident. And her family has never discussed it in front of her to protect her and

Adaline felt kicks in her stomach. She groaned softly. Her eyes opened, and she could see the hospital ceiling in front of her.Wasn't she in the ICU earlier? Since when was she moved to the regular ward?Adaline glanced at the bed next to her. It was clear she had returned to the regular room she had been in. But her husband's bed, which was usually occupied, was empty.Adaline closed her eyes with her arm. She felt the IV needle in her left hand. It seemed she had passed out again, something that had happened frequently lately.Adaline heard her room door open, but she didn't want to turn or see anyone who came in.Footsteps and the sound of wheels approached her bed."Madam..."That voice? It sounded hoarse, but Adaline knew it so well. The voice she had longed to hear. Unwanted tears fell again. How could she daydream at a time like this..."Madam, do you really not want to see me again?"The tone of that voice? It sounded sad yet also joyful at the same time."Are you teasing me

Adaline sat motionless in her place. Her husband's body trembled violently, then convulsed momentarily. All the screens next to the man blared loudly.Adaline could only stare at her husband with an empty gaze. Someone wrapped their arms around her shoulders, pulling her back just as the paramedics arrived."We're leaving, Honey," said Delila's voice. Adaline turned her head and shook it, but Delila kept urging her to go."Mamma... Altezza... he..." she pointed to her husband. Mrs. Delila only nodded and continued to escort her out of the ICU room.Her mother-in-law settled Adaline into a long chair in the hallway. Adaline sat in silence. The commanding screams echoed only in her head. She twisted her hands, praying silently, hoping that God would return the man she loved.This wasn't the first time Altezza had an attack. But it was always frightening for her whenever it happened.Three months. Altezza had been in a coma for three months. Although the doctors said he showed progress,

Altezza opened his eyes, but he quickly covered them with one hand. The dazzling light hurt his eyes. Altezza squinted, trying to adjust his vision and figure out where he was now. As far as he remembered, he had just had an accident, but strangely what he saw now was not the ceiling of a hospital or the view of a treatment room, but large branches and dense foliage.Altezza sat up. He was quite surprised because he didn't feel the pain he should feel. He looked at his body and felt fine. But why was he there? Why was he in this vast green field? Why was he lying under a shady tree before?Altezza turned and was quite surprised to see someone he knew sitting next to him and even smiling at him. "Sir?" he asked, surprised.How long had they not met? If Altezza remembered correctly, the last time he saw that man was about eight years ago. "What are you doing here?" Altezza asked again.The man stared back at Altezza in surprise. "I should be asking you the same. Why are you here?" The m
