Giving Birth to the Italian Billionaire's Baby Part 72
"Come on, don't listen to them. They're just jealous people," Tessa replied casually.After washing their hands, they stepped out of the restroom area. Once again, Adaline felt uneasy. Was it just her imagination, or were people looking at her differently now? What were they thinking? Were they mocking her? Or were they passing judgment on her? Adaline couldn't find the right words to describe how they were looking at her, but she definitely felt uncomfortable.Tessa wrapped her arm around Adaline's shoulder and squeezed her arm tightly. "Don't think negatively," she whispered softly. "Remember the baby in your belly," she reminded. Reflexively, Adaline's hand reached for her stomach, which was now slightly protruding.After work, Tessa invited Adaline to hang out again, hoping to cheer her up. Since Adaline was craving sweets, they chose a café with a variety of desserts on the menu.Adaline's tray was filled with a slice of cheesecake, chocolate lava cake, and a bowl of soup. She op

"I'm very sure. He's a very good man. I'm sure you'll like him once you get to know him. My lover is the ideal type of boyfriend and husband. He's caring and attentive," Jovanka praised with shining eyes. Joanna responded to her friend's words with a serious nod, while Tessa glanced at Adaline, who was now smiling faintly.In Adaline's heart, she did indeed agree with Jovanka's statement about Altezza's character, although there was a pain that emerged that she couldn't just brush aside."But if he's a good man, he shouldn't abandon a woman who's already carrying his child," Joanna commented again.Jovanka shrugged nonchalantly. "I also don't know why he did that foolish act. But indeed, since the beginning, when we were still together, he really wanted to have a child. It's just that back then I kept postponing it because I wasn't ready to give up my career."But even though it seems cruel, I like the way he handled it because it benefited both of us. So even if we get married later,

Adaline suddenly missed her mother. She asked Tessa to take her to her mother's house, and her friend happily agreed. Adaline sent a message to Altezza that she would stay at her mother's house, and Altezza said he would join her later.Throughout the journey, Tessa observed Adaline in silence. Adaline wasn't someone who liked to talk a lot and be chatty like herself and Joanna, but Adaline's silence this time still worried Tessa. Finally, tired of this suffocating silence, Tessa spoke up."Is everything okay?""She's a smart woman. She knows what she's doing. And she's clearly baiting me. I'm just saying what needs to be said, not what she wants to hear.""Adaline...?"Adaline turned and smiled. "You don't need to be sad like that." Adaline reached for her friend's hand, who was gently rubbing her arm. "Everything will be okay."From the beginning, I knew the consequences. Everything you heard from me is what I'm thinking. I won't try to make him love me or force him to choose betwee

Upon seeing Adaline, the man spread his arms wide, inviting his wife to come closer and into his embrace. Adaline complied. She walked over and nestled into her husband's embrace. His warm body enveloped hers, providing comfort. Adaline rested her head on her husband's chest, while Altezza gently rubbed her back."Are you tired? Have you had dinner?" Adaline looked up. Altezza nodded in response to both of his wife's questions."I'm sorry, I haven't had much time with you. Just hold on a little longer, my dear. My wife, my children," he said in a deliberately affectionate tone, while caressing Adaline's stomach. "If Antony feels that Gian is ready to be released, I'll bring Duncan with me. Working with Duncan feels easier.""Maybe because Duncan is already accustomed to your way of working. And perhaps the chemistry between you two is strong because you've been working together," Adaline commented, which was met with a nod from her husband.Adaline remembered her encounter with Jovank

A large parcel, beautifully wrapped, was delivered by a courier and left at the lobby receptionist's desk. The large package contained expensive chocolates that seemed to have been intentionally imported from abroad. Employees who happened to be returning from lunch approached out of curiosity. They admired the expensive gift, examining it and murmuring their admiration."Congratulations on your pregnancy. May your baby be healthy until the day of its birth. I heard you have a sweet tooth. So, I intentionally sent this to the office because I didn't know your home address.Sincerely,J.L"Someone read the message aloud. "This person is really something. All these expensive chocolates." The employees who also saw it just gasped with amazed expressions."Whose is it?" another asked the receptionist. The receptionist checked the guestbook."It says here the package is for Adaline Scott. Finance Division," the receptionist replied innocently.She wasn't the one who received the parcel. It

Jovanka tossed her phone aside. She screamed hysterically until Cindy, her assistant, covered both of her ears. Jovanka's elderly housemaid also hurriedly ran from the first floor to the second floor to check on her employer.All the items that were on the table had turned into a mess on the floor. Even the wide-screen television had been shattered by a chair. The woman's rage was truly terrifying.Cindy, feeling frightened, had even begun to crawl towards the door, afraid of becoming the target of the woman's wrath."Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!" She screamed again.The woman grabbed her own hair. Her gaze seemed unfocused. She paced back and forth in her room, oblivious to the ceramic shards that could potentially injure her feet.Evans arrived shortly thereafter, looking out of breath from running. He saw Cindy and the middle-aged woman alternately. Cindy simply shook her head. Evans promptly entered the room, embracing the woman from behind.His hand reached for a box from his bag. He pul

It was also to celebrate the birthday of their daughter, Antony, Flavia.From Kansas, they continued their journey to a mountainous area that was one of Flavia's desires. They arrived at their destination around nine in the evening, and amazingly, the little girl had already made reservations for all of them.Four condominiums and two tents were reserved by Flavia and Abigail. The couples were assigned specific accommodations: Delila and Sir Benjamin Quirino, Antony and Claire, Altezza and Adaline, Emma and Violet.One of the two tents they rented would be used by Abigail and Flavia, and the other by Gian.

Altezza glanced at his wife while Adaline seemed to maintain her blank expression. Altezza couldn't guess what the woman was feeling right now. Whether she was angry with him or not. Whether that blank expression was because she genuinely had no ill thoughts or because she was very good at hiding her feelings, Altezza didn't know. But Altezza would question that when they were alone.At ten o'clock, Adaline chose to retire because she felt tired and Altezza followed her. "Are you very tired, Madam?" He asked when they were alone.Adaline was taking off the blanket Altezza had put on her earlier. The mountain air was indeed very cold compared to Manhattan. That's why she put on a sweater and socks. Adaline chose to climb into bed and cover half of her body with the blanket."Pretty tired but not too much. Why?" She asked when she felt comfortable in her position.Altezza walked closer. He got into bed and slipped under the same blanket."It's about what Antony and Gian said earlier. Ca

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.

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
