Alpha’s Regret Pregnant Rejected Luna

“Daisy,” Hazel called excitedly as she stepped into the ward.

“You can go to school now,” she announced with enthusiasm. “The nurses just told me the hospital management has a new school.” Hazel had overheard excited conversations about it when she returned from work. A school within the hospital was a welcomed development, especially given Cleveland’s high percentage of inpatient children.

Daisy, however, only nodded and continued playing with her dolls. Hazel was taken aback by her uninterested demeanor. She had expected Daisy to be thrilled, to inquire about the details eagerly. Hazel had imagined her daughter’s eyes lighting up with joy as she rushed to share the news with her. Instead, Daisy’s reaction was unexpectedly’cool, leaving Hazel puzzled by the subdued response.

Unbeknownst to Hazel, her daughter was already well–acquainted with the news of the school. In fact, it was Daisy who had actively participated to the project, she had known from onset. She was also involved in the renovations, from selecting what paint colors to be used to adding her handprints to the mural. So the news about the school wasn’t a surprise to Daisy; it carried her creation, her artistic touch adorned various corners of the space. Hazel, however, remained blissfully unaware of Daisy’s involvement.

Hazel studied her daughter, curiosity etched on her face as she pondered the peculiar expression on Daisy’s face. Despite Hazel’s enthusiastic announcement about the new school, Daisy’s response was noticeably bored. A wave of relief washed over Hazel, however, as she noted that Daisy hadn’t brought up Ethan in recent times. Even Liam, who tended to express his discontent more openly, appeared content and hadn’t been whining as usual. Little did Hazel know that her children were rendezvousing and meeting with Ethan himself, which explained their satisfaction and apparent lack of yearning for his presence.

One morning, to Jasmine’s surprise, she discovered the adorable puppy securely strapped into the car seat as she settled into. the car. “You’re taking him to work?” she asked, giving the puppy affectionate scratches.

“Yes,” Axel replied with a casual smile.

“How come?” she inquired, a playful chuckle accompanying her question.

Axel merely shrugged lightly.

That day marked the beginning of a routine. The children at the hospital were excited meeting the puppy. And Ethan insisted that Axel bring the puppy along every day.

Soon enough, it became a familiar sight–every morning, Axel, Jasmine, and the puppy embarked on their journey to work, returning home together at night. The trio settled into a comfortable routine.
