After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

the doctor.

"And what is it?" The other voice that spoke belonged to Gabriel.

There was a moment of silence during which Leonica completed her steps, turning the comer in time to catch the doctor's expression, tentative and reluctance ridden, before he spoke. "We'll have to perform surgery and... have her uterus removed." The doctor announced, surprising both Gabriel and Leonica

presence.

her hand had gone up fast enough, covering her lips before a gasp escaped her mouth. But that still didn't stop Gabriel from noticing her

"Alright, let's do that." As Gabriel spoke, his voice was full of hesitance, after all, he knew Angelina was going to be angry at him because of this move he was making, but that didn't matter to him at the present time, what did, was saving her life

*I understand, I'll have a consent form prepared immediately. Once you've signed it, the surgery can commence." The doctor said and bowed. "Please

Once the doctor was finally gone, Gabriel tumed around and his eyes twitched when he saw th Guilt was that guilt?

"Gabelel-"

the expression on Leonica's face.

"What are you doing here? His question cut her words shut.

"low..how's the baby?"

"The baby? What about Angelina, don't you want to know how she's doing?!" Gabriel snapped. But Leonica was already prepared to take his amper, so she did not so much as flinch and remained silent

Seeing her indifference towards Angelina despite the situation, Gabriel's temper rose. "Get out." He pointed towards the way she had come "Leave,

now.

"Angelina would need her rest as soon as she recovers from the surgery, and she won't be able to get that if you're here. So, please leave. Now"

The next few hours after the operation felt extremely long. By the time Angelina was coming around, it was sometime in the late evening

Stirring slightly in the hospital bed, she groaned in pain. "Mm, Gabe, Gabriel."

"I'm here." Gabriel was quick to stand up from the chair he had been waiting in and approached her. Taking her hand, he gently asked, "How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine," Angelina offered him a strained smile that faded the instant realization hit her. She was in the hospital. "G-gabe?"

"Yes, Ange?"

"I-the baby_how's my baby?" She questioned.

Much to her dismay, Gabriel remained silent and lowered his head. That alone told her all she needed to low,

Her child was gone. Tears welled up in the comers of her eyes and her grip tightened around Gabriel's hand.

"No, Gabriel, what happened to my baby? Say something" Despite her words, Gabriel remained silent. "Don't remain quiet, was something damnit! Say something." The last of her words jolted out in a broken sob, which soon led to a full-on crying spree Gabriel, who was never good with his words, could only but pull her into his chest as she cried. He couldn't fully understand her pain, but the least he could do was comfort her as she cried.

Her sobs had dragged on for close to thirty minutes and Gabriel remained by her side, comforting her and readying her for the more painful bomb. Just as she had lost her child, she had also lost her ability to bear children.

When he was sure she had cried enough, he gently pulled away and wiped her cheeks with the pad of his thumb. "Angelina. there's something else I
