Rebirth Into My Second Chance

The medical record didn't have a single word about my pregnancy.

Silence enveloped the room.

"Could you give me a moment alone, please?"

Max frowned slightly but turned and left, giving me the space I needed.

I should have thanked him. After all, he was the one who ended up saving me.
