Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 267: You need to return...

After the detailed discussion with Dr. Stella, Davis carefully noted down every instruction in his phone with firm determination. He wasn’t going to leave anything to chance—not with Jessica’s health and the baby at stake.

As they left the consultation room, Jessica slid her phone back into her pants pocket after checking it. "Bella might be on her way here since I told her I’m at the Ob-gyn," she said, a small smile tugging her lips.

"But you need to sit down for a while," Davis said, his tone serious, his lips forming a light smirk. "You’re not supposed to be standing too long."

Jessica sighed but obeyed, settling on the cozy hospital lounge couch. A fresh bottle of water sat in her hand. Davis, sitting close by in his wheelchair, looked her over again and again, like he still needed proof that she was fine.

Jessica still had Dr. Stella’s words echoing in her mind. It all felt so real now—pregnant, three months along, and no longer something she could ignore. Davis, meanwhile, had taken the role of "guardian of all health laws," as she called him in her thoughts. There was no escaping him now—not when he had sworn to supervise every detail of her routine.

Before she could get too deep into her thoughts, a familiar loud voice rang out across the hallway.

"Sis!"

Jessica looked up just in time to catch Bella rushing toward her. Her white lab coat fluttered as she hurried over, her ID badge swinging wildly on her chest.

"Sis-in-law, what did Dr. Stella say? Have you done the scan? Is the baby okay? Are you okay? What’s going on?" Bella’s words came out in a rush as she threw her arms around Jessica in a hug.

Jessica laughed lightly. "Calm down! The baby’s fine. I’m fine. Everything’s fine."

Davis, who had been sitting quietly the whole time, raised a brow. His own sister hadn’t even acknowledged him. Typical Bella—completely ignoring her brother in favor of fussing over her best friend and now sister-in-law.

Jessica smiled and turned the question back. "How are you, Bella?"

Bella waved her hand. "Let’s not talk about me. You’re the main event today."

Jessica didn’t miss the flicker of sadness that crossed Bella’s face when she avoided the question. She made a mental note to ask about it later.
