Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 216

Mitchell snapped back to reality, watching Effie and Lyman disappear down the corridor. He felt as if something had been hollowed out inside him.

He turned stiffly toward the doctor, forcing the words out. "I'm... her boyfriend."

Those two words felt as heavy as lead.

The doctor gave a noncommittal grunt, then said, "The patient experienced some bleeding. Her condition is concerning, but we've handled the immediate emergency."

He lowered his voice, speaking more firmly. "But I suggest you stop putting her through so much stress. Let her rest and take proper care of her. If something like this happens again, no one will be able to save her and the baby. You could lose them both."

Adeline swayed, nearly collapsing.

Mitchell caught her just in time. "Mom," he said quietly.

Adeline clung to Mitchell's hand, her voice trembling as she murmured, "The baby... the baby must be okay."
