From substitute bride to CEO Chapter 66: Things to do
Chloe remained in the doctor's office long after the conversation had ended. Her hand was still resting lightly against her stomach. She hadn't moved it.The doctor quietly closed her file before looking at her again. "I know this is overwhelming."She finally looked up. "It is." Her voice was soft, almost absent.The doctor offered her a reassuring smile. "But from what I can see, both babies are doing well."She lowered her eyes again. "Both..." She whispered the word as though she was still trying to believe it.The doctor nodded. "Yes. They'll need regular checkups from now on. I'll give you a schedule before you leave."Chloe listened carefully this time. Not because she was forcing herself to. Because every word mattered now."You'll also need to rest more. No skipping meals. And try not to carry anything heavy."A tiny smile appeared on her lips. "I'll try."The doctor chuckled softly. "Don't try. Do it."That earned him the faintest laugh from Chloe. It lasted only a second. B

The doctor's question lingered in the room. Chloe looked at him, her fingers tightening around the strap of her handbag."I had one... a few weeks ago," she answered quietly. "In a hospital.”The doctor nodded. "I see." His expression remained thoughtful as he glanced back at the file in front of him. "Were you admitted there?""Yes. For severe abdominal pain."He gave another small nod. "And did they explain their findings to you?"Chloe swallowed. "They told me..." Her voice caught for a brief second before she steadied it. "They told me I was pregnant."The doctor's eyes stayed on her. She lowered hers. "And they said there were complications." The room became very quiet. "They said..." She struggled to finish the sentence. "They couldn't save the pregnancy, so I had a miscarriage." Her voice faded.The doctor didn't interrupt. He simply listened. For a long moment, he said nothing. Then he reached for another file lying beside him. "I'd like to repeat a few examinations," he said
From substitute bride to CEO Chapter 64: I've been feeling dizzy
The woman remained standing beside the bench, her brows knitted with concern. "Are you alright?"Chloe blinked a few times before offering a small smile. "I think so."The woman didn't look convinced. "You look very pale.""I probably skipped lunch," Chloe replied quietly, trying to sound more certain than she felt.The woman sat down beside her without hesitation. "I've done that before too." She reached into her shopping bag and brought out a bottle of water. "Here."Chloe looked at it for a moment before accepting it. "Thank you.""Take your time."Chloe unscrewed the cap with slightly trembling fingers and drank a few mouthfuls. The cool water eased the dryness in her throat, but the heaviness in her body remained."You shouldn't rush home if you're feeling like this," the woman said gently. "There's a small clinic just two streets away."Chloe lowered the bottle into her lap. "It's probably just stress.""Maybe," the woman smiled kindly, "but maybe it isn't."Chloe looked down at

The taxi drove for hours before finally leaving the busy highways behind. The buildings grew shorter, the roads quieter, and the crowds slowly disappeared. By the time the driver crossed into the next city, the morning sun had climbed into the sky, washing everything in a soft golden light.Chloe rested her head against the window throughout the journey. She didn't look at her phone. She didn't check the news. She didn't think about whether anyone had noticed she was gone. She simply watched unfamiliar streets pass by until the driver finally slowed down."We're here, ma'am."Chloe looked out of the window. It wasn't a large city. There were no towering buildings or endless traffic. Small cafés sat beside flower shops. People walked without rushing, greeting one another as they passed. The air itself seemed quieter.She paid the driver, stepped out with her single bag and notebooks, then stood still for a moment. No one looked at her twice. No one recognized the name Chloe Grey. For t

Morning light had just begun to seep through the hospital windows when the doctor stepped out of Catherine Grey's room. Lucien rose from the chair almost immediately."How is she?"The doctor offered him a reassuring smile. "She's doing much better, Mr Grey. It wasn't as serious as we first feared."Lucien released a slow breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding. "What happened?""It was a sudden drop in blood pressure brought on by exhaustion. We ran the necessary tests, observed her overnight, and everything looks stable now.""So she's alright?""Yes. She'll need to rest for a few days, but we've discharged her."Lucien nodded quietly before stepping into the room. Catherine was sitting up against the pillows with a cup of warm tea in her hands. Her face was still pale, but she managed a small smile when she saw him."You look like you haven't slept."Lucien pulled a chair closer to the bed. "You frightened us.""I frightened myself too," Catherine replied with a faint laugh. "I
From substitute bride to CEO Chapter 61: I won't be long
The doctor stood beside the hospital bed while Chloe adjusted the strap of her handbag over her shoulder. She had changed back into the same clothes she had arrived in; they were slightly creased now, and there were faint marks where dried tears had fallen, but she didn't notice them. Or perhaps she did. She simply didn't care anymore.The doctor watched her carefully. "Mrs Grey, are you certain you don't want us to contact your family?"Chloe lowered her eyes for a moment before responding. "I have one favor to ask.""What is it?""If Mr Grey comes looking for me..." She paused, drawing a slow breath. "...please don't tell him where I went."The doctor frowned slightly. "He is your husband.""I know." Her voice remained quiet. "If he asks... just tell him I was discharged."The doctor hesitated. "I don't usually keep information from family members.""I'm not asking you to lie," she said, meeting his eyes. "Only tell him the truth. I was discharged. And nothing more."The doctor stud
