EvelynThe first thing I heard was a faint, rhythmic beeping.Beep… Beep… Beep...My eyelids felt unbearably heavy, like someone had placed stones over them. Every part of my body felt numb, yet strangely sore at the same time.I slowly forced my eyes open.The first thing I saw was the bright white ceiling above me. A soft groan escaped my lips as I blinked repeatedly, trying to adjust to the harsh lights.Hospital...The familiar smell of antiseptic filled my nose almost instantly.I was in a hospital."K... Kendall?"My voice came out weak and hoarse, barely louder than a whisper. Before I could gather my thoughts, the hospital room door slowly opened.A tall man wearing a white medical coat stepped inside. A nose mask covered the lower half of his face as he quietly closed the door behind him.He looked toward me and immediately noticed I was awake.Our eyes met.I frowned. He wasn't Dr. John.My heart skipped."W-Who are you?" I asked weakly. "And where's Dr. John?"Instead of an

EvelynI lay motionless on the bed, my eyes fixed on the large window across the room.The curtains were partially drawn, allowing thin streams of afternoon sunlight to filter into the bedroom.The buzzing sound from my phone vibrated repeatedly from the lampstand beside the bed, but I didn't move or even glance at it.I simply continued staring at the window, feeling hollow.Adrian hadn't come home yesterday… again.At first, I had convinced myself he was busy, and probably angry or hurt. I had called countless times, sent messages, voicemails, everything.Yet every call went unanswered. Every message remained unread. Until finally, after persistent attempts, he finally picked up… or rather, Doris did."Mr. Adrian is very busy at the moment," she had said smoothly. "He won't be able to answer your calls."At the time, I had been too stunned to respond. Too stunned to ask why she was answering his phone, and ask when exactly she had become the person screening his calls.After that, I

EvelynThe ride home felt longer than it should have.I sat quietly in the backseat of the taxi, staring out the window while the city passed by in a blur.The world outside continued as if nothing had happened. Cars moved, people walked, life went on. Meanwhile, mine had completely fallen apart.I pressed my forehead against the cool glass and closed my eyes. Every time I did, I saw the ultrasound screen. I heard Dr. John's voice, and the words cut through me all over again.The vehicle finally stopped in front of the house. I opened my eyes and realized we had arrived."Ma'am?" the driver turned slightly.I swallowed and forced myself to gather all my things."Thank you."I stepped out of the vehicle and closed the door behind me. For a moment, I simply stood there looking at the home Adrian and I had built together. The home where we had dreamed of raising children.The home that suddenly felt unfamiliar.Taking a deep breath, I walked inside. The front door clicked shut behind me,

EvelynI woke up to pain.Not the dull ache that had become familiar over the past few months. Not the occasional cramp that every doctor had assured me could happen during pregnancy.This one was different.A sharp, brutal pain ripped through my lower abdomen, so sudden and intense that it stole the air from my lungs.I gasped and sat upright in bed.Another wave followed immediately.It felt as if invisible claws were digging into my womb and tearing through me from the inside. My stomach tightened painfully before another cramp twisted through my body."Ah..."A whimper escaped my lips.My hands instinctively moved to my belly.No.No, no, no.Please.The room was dark except for the faint moonlight slipping through the curtains. Beside me, Adrian slept peacefully, unaware that my world was already beginning to crumble.Then I felt something warm and wet trickling down my thighs.My entire body froze.My heart stopped.Slowly, almost mechanically, I lowered my gaze.Blood… so much
