Pregnant I left him To His First Love by Collins Patrick

Chapter 176

Adaline goes upstairs to Darren's room and she looks at her husband lying lifeless on his bed, several drips connected to his pale and thin body. The vibrant energetic man she once used to know is but a shadow of himself now.

She is sad that he is in this condition but even more sad that despite his illness, he has maintained his stand to not speak a word to her or Tatum because of what happened to Leila.

He firmly believes that Leila did not commit any of the crimes she is accused of as Leila is a kindhearted woman and a good person. She never knew that what happened to Leila could make him so bitter towards them but to not have spoken to his fated mate and wife for over five years is enough proof of that.

It is the more reason she is unhappy with Carmela, she hoped that Carmela would have given them another heir by now to soften Darren's anger but it is obvious that despite Carmela being Tatum's fated mate, his heart is still with Leila. She often wonders if she did the right thing, choosing the fated over the chosen but only time will tell now.

She hears a knock on the door before a woman steps in, a doctor in white coat with a face mask covering her face and dark sunglasses covering her eyes. There is something quite familiar about the woman, especially her scent. "Who are you?" She asks.

The woman ignores her and opens the small pack she's carrying, bringing out syringes.

"Did you not hear me?" She asks, watching the lady carefully.

She knows this person from somewhere.
