Chapter 143:

When Kallie woke up, her entire body ached.

Jake was nowhere in sight. Only a handful of caregivers bustled about her.

One noticed Kallie’s open eyes and quickly approached. “Miss, you must rest and keep still. Your baby is doing just fine. You’re incredibly fortunate. Despite the impact, there’s no harm done to the baby.”

Confusion clouded Kallie’s mind.

Hearing about her baby and recalling that Jake had taken her to the hospital sent her nerves spiraling.

Kallie began to gesture wildly, desperate to know Jake’s whereabouts.

Luckily, the caregivers Jake had arranged were fluent in sign language and calmly explained to Kallie, “Mr. Reeves had urgent business elsewhere and has left.”

Kallie felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. This was no dream. Jake had indeed taken her to the hospital, which meant he must have known about her pregnancy.

Kallie had always known that Jake might discover it one day, but she never anticipated it would be this soon. She was completely unprepared emotionally. How did Jake react? His absence from the hospital spoke volumes.

Consumed by anxiety, Kallie couldn’t bear to stay another minute. She flung off her covers and tried to leave, but the caregivers immediately intervened.

One of them spoke with grave concern. “Miss, this is serious. You’re not in any condition to be moving around. You need to rest.”

Kallie’s face was ashen, her eyes wide with terror as she surveyed her surroundings. Too many things had happened. Her nerves frayed, and all she wanted was to flee to somewhere safe. She was tired of being at others’ mercy.
