All Chapters of Pregnant for A Stranger: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

As night swiftly approached, tensions from the day dissolved. Hayle stepped out of her room once more, seeking a quiet moment before her bedtime. Today was much the same as any other; she had eaten lunch and dinner alone. The difference lay in Jaxter's absence after he had left earlier, according to her guard.Hayle tiptoed towards the kitchen like a spy, checking to see if any servants remained in the area. Like the night before, it was dim and almost deserted. What caught Hayle's attention, however, was a tray with warm milk, a neatly sliced plate of fruit covered in plastic wrap, and a few small snacks. Her eyes lit up; she was certain Jaxter had instructed this treat.Once again, Hayle's destination for the evening was the living room television. Where else could she go? The other rooms held little interest or remained unexplored thus far. But as she entered the living room, her heart nearly leapt out of her chest at the sight of Jaxter seemingly waiting for her. Hayle grinned bro

"Still don't know where she is?" Jacob asked, squinting at Lucas. Even though they were just friends. Jacob knew Hayle's demeanor well. She wouldn't just leave everything behind, especially what she had worked so hard to achieve. Seeing the state of her apartment, she hadn't even taken anything with her.Lucas sighed deeply, furrowing his brow. "No news at all, and I doubt I'm the first person she'd contact.""I doubt that too," Jacob replied offhandedly, slumping into his chair and scanning the cafe around them on the ground floor of the hospital where Hayle and Lucas had worked. What was even more baffling was this man claiming that Hayle had resigned. That was impossible.Jacob caught sight of a woman walking with the poise of a Victoria's Secret model. It was clear she was heading their way. Of course he recognized her — the woman who had made his friend Hayle cry every night for a week. Jacob glanced at Lucas, raising his eyebrows subtly, as if signaling something. Seeing this, L

"The situation has improved, Miss Hayle is sleeping again now. If by tomorrow morning her condition remains stable like this, I'll remove the IV tomorrow morning," Jaxter's personal doctor explained after examining Hayle for the night.Far from when she first arrived, Hayle's condition had greatly improved. Initially, he wanted to remove the IV now, but seeing Hayle already asleep, it wasn't wise to wake a pregnant woman."This is the first time she's been able to sleep so quickly," Jaxter looked towards the doctor, his tone as usual, flat."Yes, many pregnant women complain about having difficulty sleeping. It's better for you to stay with her. It will make the mother more comfortable and be beneficial for your baby as well," Jaxter's personal doctor immediately advised. He felt this man had shown enough change after the young lady arrived. He could even hear his advice, whereas before, if it didn't match his thoughts or desires, nothing would make Jaxter do it, even for his own heal

Dug!Jaxter immediately looked over at Hayle, whose head had apparently hit the car window. This jolted the drowsy woman awake briefly, but like feeling glue in her eyes, Hayle soon seemed overcome with deep fatigue again. The combination of lack of sleep, a full stomach, and the comfort of the car made it impossible for Hayle to fight off her drowsiness.The man beside her, seated on the other side of the car, furrowed his brow, watching as Hayle tried to find a comfortable position for her head, finding leaning near the window the most comfortable. But her head bumped against the window a few times, more startling than painful."What a strange woman," thought Jaxter, still nursing his annoyance at Hayle's indifference throughout this journey. However, seeing how this soon-to-be mother of his child was clearly trying to get comfortable, he couldn't stay passive.Jaxter moved quickly, shifting his body closer to Hayle's side. Without hesitation, he wrapped his arm behind Hayle's head

"Lucas!" The voice made Lucas, who had been looking upset, immediately turn indifferent.But as he turned around, the man's face broke into a warm smile to greet the arrival of the troubled-looking woman."What's wrong with you?" Lucas asked, concerned."I don't know, lately I've been having frequent headaches. My father is like that too, which is why he called you here," Sonia said, putting on a helpless expression, holding her throbbing head."It's because you're pushing yourself too hard. I've told you, it's better if you stop doing such work. Just be my wife, that's enough. I'll make you happy," Lucas whispered, teasingly.This instantly melted Sonia, who promptly hugged her future husband's hand and led him into their luxurious home."I've had myself checked by all the doctors. I've also undergone all the comprehensive examinations as they requested. But none of them could diagnose what's wrong with me," Sonia's father complained as he lay down on a lazy sofa where he usually res
