Baby for Mr CEO의 모든 챕터: 챕터 61 - 챕터 70

AliceMy mind was a jumbled mess as I sat beside Xavier's bed. How could I tell him about Phoebe's deal? The doctor who could save his life, but at what cost? I would have to leave him, give him up to Phoebe. The thought sent a shiver down my spine.I pushed the thoughts aside, trying to focus on the present. Xavier's eyes were fixed on me, filled with a mix of concern and hope. I forced a reassuring smile onto my face."Come on, baby, stop staring at me like that. Everything will be fine. I'll find a doctor, I can assure you," he said, trying to sound confident.I sighed deeply, feeling the weight of my worries. Xavier patted the side of the bed, his eyes inviting me to lie down beside him."Come, stay with me," he said, his voice low and soothing.I shook my head, feeling a pang of guilt. "I'm not going to lie on the bed with you."Xavier's face fell, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. "Why not?" he asked.I hesitated, unsure of how to explain. "The last time I lay down with you,

AliceIt's been a day since the small talk with Xavier.We stepped out of the hospital, and I breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to be free from the sterile smell and the constant beeping of machines.Xavier nodded in agreement when I told him, "I'll tell you everything when we're out of here."After a few hours' drive, we finally returned home. As we walked up to the mansion, I spotted Wendy and Lexi pacing back and forth in front of the entrance. They must have been waiting for us.Wendy's eyes widened as she saw us, and she let out a squeal of delight."Where have you guys been?" she exclaimed, rushing over to hug us both tightly."We were so damn worried, and you didn't even reply to our calls!" Lexi chimed in, his brow furrowed with concern.I smiled weakly, feeling a pang of guilt for worrying them. "We're really sorry. We were just busy with something important."Lexi's eyes narrowed. "What's that?" he asked, his tone curious.Xavier intervened, his voice cold and detached.

XavierThe dinner table was set with fine china and crystal glasses, the soft glow of the chandelier casting a warm light on the gathering. The aroma of roasted vegetables and freshly baked bread wafted through the air, mingling with the hum of conversation. Outside, the morning sun cast a golden hue through the windows, illuminating the faces of my family as they passed plates and served themselves.To my right, Alice sat with her hands folded in her lap, her eyes fixed on the plate in front of her. My mom, seated at the head of the table, smiled warmly as she passed a serving dish to my dad. Wendy and Lexi chatted quietly, their forks clinking against their plates as they ate.As I watched, the sounds of the dinner table filled the air: the clinking of silverware, the murmur of conversation, the sipping of water, and the soft chewing of food. The tension was palpable.I took a deep breath, preparing to reveal what I had been wanting to share with my family. But before I could speak,

AliceTwo weeks. It had been exactly two weeks since Xavier disappeared from my life without a word. No calls, no texts, no responses. His phone was probably still active, ringing silently in some dark corner, but he had made it clear he didn't want to be reached. I couldn't blame him, really. I had felt the same way after discovering the truth - like I was drowning in a sea of lies and deceit.But Xavier, my supposed husband, did you think you were being too harsh? You left me alone, pregnant and scared, with no idea what the future held. Your family was back home, crying themselves to sleep every night, worried sick about you. And I... I was just trying to hold on, to keep my head above water.Just as I was starting to lose hope, my phone rang, shrill in the silence. I checked the screen, my heart skipping a beat. Who could be calling? Was it Xavier, regretting his decision and reaching out? My mind started racing with possibilities.I swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and swiped

XavierI stood up from the sofa, my eyes widening in alarm as I listened to Alice's words. "What? Yes, you heard me right, Xavier. I'm going to do something to this baby that you won't like, and you know what I mean by that," she spat, her voice venomous.My heart racing, I dared her, "Don't you dare!"But she just laughed, her voice cold and calculated. "I dare you not to dare me to do that. Meet up with me, or else... Oh, I will do something to this baby that will make you regret your existence, Xavier. I promise you, trust me this time, because I won't think twice to care if this baby is mine or not."Her words sent a chill down my spine. I screamed her name, "Alice!" but she just ended the call, leaving me staring at the phone in horror.I paced back and forth, my mind racing with thoughts of Alice's threats. "What the fuck is wrong with her?" I muttered to myself, trying to make sense of her words. "Is she probably sicker than me?"Maybe! I think she's a psychopath.Anyway, I cou
