Amanda’s POV

Ryan’s letter was still echoing in my ears long after the gavel struck to recess the hearing.

He had sat there, reading it with his voice dipped in just enough tremor to seem human, fragile. A doting father shut out of his son’s life. And the worst part? The judge had looked moved. The jurors had shifted, some nodding like they understood his pain.

I wanted to scream.

Not because I didn’t believe Ryan loved Levi in his own way but because I knew that love wasn’t enough. It hadn’t been enough when he denied my pregnancy, when he vanished during those endless months of doctor visits, when he called me a liar until the DNA test shut him up. Back then, Levi was an inconvenience. And now? Now Ryan was parading him as a prize.

The hypocrisy made me sick.

By the time I left the courthouse, my chest was tight with both fury and exhaustion. I needed to get back to Levi, needed his little arms wrapped around me to remind myself what all this was for.

  • FAMOUS DOCTOR RETURNS WITH THE EX’S BABY   CHAPTER 157

    Ryan's POV "Levi was never taken." I almost didn't realize it was Ryan's voice, he must have been trying to hold the words in for the longest time. My ears rang, the words not settling, it hung in the air between us like smoke. I turned to him slowly, my heart already racing, already preparing for pain. "What?" Ryan doesn’t look at Thomas when he speaks again, he looks at me. Straight at me. Like he needs me to hear this properly. "He was never touched." He said "He’s safe. With people I trust. This was bait." For a second, the world tilted. My knees weaken, not from fear this time, but from the rush of it. Relief crashes into me so hard it almost knocks the breath from my lungs. Levi. Safe. Alive. Untouched. I press my hand to my chest as if I can physically hold onto that truth before it slips away. Then I hear Thomas laugh, it was a sharp and bitter laugh, like he had lost something in his head. "Of course." he said "Of course you’d do something like that." I looked at

    Amanda's POV I didn’t plan to speak, not at first. I stood there while the tension stretched, while Ryan and Thomas faced each other like two storms about to collide. I listened to the sound of my own breathing and realized something strange, I wasn’t shaking anymore. Fear had ruled me for so long that I had forgotten what it felt like when it finally loosened its grip. Thomas was unraveling. I could see it now. The way his eyes darted, the way his voice rose and fell too quickly, the way his hand kept moving like he needed something to hold onto. Control had always been his weapon and right now, he was losing it. He knew all his tactics wouldn't work this time, the money and power couldn't save him, even if he tried. Ryan stood there, solid, watching him, watching me. He didn’t rush. He didn’t interrupt. He trusted me to find my footing. That was when I knew. This wasn’t his fight anymore. It was mine. "Thomas." My voice cut through the air between us, clear and steady.

    Amanda's POV The car slows down long before it stops, I know it before Thomas even turns off the engine, everything was wrong about the place.The was far from the road, hidden behind broken fences and weeds that have grown wild. The house looked dead like it had never had occupants in centuries, there was no lights, no movements, just the concrete, smell of rust and a heavy silence.My heart starts beating harder, slow at first, then faster."This is it." Thomas says calmly, like he’s announcing we’ve arrived at a hospital or a police station. "They said he’s inside."I look around again.There’s no sound of a child, no crying, no footsteps. No sign that anyone has been here recently at all.I swallowed."Where’s Levi?" I ask softly, keeping my voice steady. "I thought… I thought he’d be waiting."Thomas doesn’t look at me, he’s already stepping out of the car."He’s safe." he said quickly. "Let’s just go inside first."I followed him because I had to, because if Levi is anywhere ne

    Amanda’s POVThe sound of the door locking echoed through the room, loud enough to make my chest tighten. For a second, I don’t move.I stay where I am, my back to the door, my hand hovering near the handle as if I might try it again. I don’t. I already know it won’t open. I don’t need to prove it to myself.I turn slowly.Thomas is standing a few steps away after trying to open the door, his shoulders tense, his jaw tight. The calm he wore earlier, the steady voice, the reassuring smile he kept giving me earlier had disappeared, it felt like he had finally taken the mask off his face.The air feels heavy, thick enough to press against my skin, my heart beat faster, but I force my breathing to stay slow.This is not the moment to panic.Thomas exhales sharply and drags a hand through his hair. He starts walking, back and forth, his footsteps scraping against the concrete floor. The sound repeats again and again, making me clutch the helm of my dress for support."You don’t trust me."

  • FAMOUS DOCTOR RETURNS WITH THE EX’S BABY   CHAPTER 152

    Amanda’s POVI let my hands shake on purpose, not too much but just enough for Thomas to notice.The car moved through the city, streetlights flashing past the window, but I kept my eyes low, fixed on my lap like I was afraid to look at anything too long. My heart was beating fast, but not because I was confused. Because I was alert, awake in a way I hadn’t been in weeks.Thomas glanced at me for the third time in less than a minute."You’re quiet." he said gently, the way someone speaks to a child who might cry. "Are you feeling okay?"I swallowed and nodded, then I shook my head, I made it messy, unsure."I… I don’t know." I said softly. "My head feels… full."That pleased him, I saw it in the way his shoulders eased, the way his grip on the steering wheel relaxed."It’s normal." he said. "After everything you’ve been through. You don’t have to think. That’s why I’m here."I turned my face toward him, letting my eyes look lost. "You promise Levi is okay?"His jaw tightened for half
