The phone slipped from her hand onto the sofa, while the smile remained suspended on her lips without her even realizing it. She looked once more at the piles of bags scattered around her.

Fruit. Juices.

Dates. Nuts.

Countless kinds of food—half of which she would never have bought in the first place.

She shook her head with a laugh. That man seemed to have taken the doctor’s instructions far more personally than necessary.

She had barely opened another bag when the doorbell rang again.

  • The Heir in My Womb   48

    The glass emergency doors burst open as the medical stretcher was rushed through the white hospital corridors at full speed. “Make way!” One of the paramedics shouted as Asia lay motionless on the stretcher, her face frighteningly pale and her eyes tightly shut. Mazen ran beside her without being aware of anything around him. He could hear neither the sound of the machines nor the doctors moving around them, not even his own ragged breathing. All he could see was Asia’s hand dangling over the side of the stretcher. Cold. Far colder than it should have been. “Her blood pressure is dropping.” “Prepare the examination room immediately.” “We need the gynecologist now.” Orders followed one another so quickly that they seemed to overwhelm everyone around them. They reached the door of the examination room, where one of the nurses stepped in front of Mazen. “I’m sorry, sir. You can’t go inside.” He froze. He watched as Asia was rushed inside, the doors closing f

    Asia reached the company building moving so quickly that it was almost a blind rush, as though everything inside her was pushing her forward without allowing her to think. She didn’t even wait for the car to come to a complete stop. She threw the door open and got out, while Salma hurried after her, worry written all over her face. Asia entered the building looking nothing like herself—her hair disheveled, her eyes red, her breathing ragged from the intensity of her emotions. But the chaos inside her was far worse than anything her appearance could reveal. Every step through the hallway felt heavier than the one before it, and every glance from the employees around her only made the fire burning in her chest grow hotter. "Mrs. Asia..." The secretary looked up the moment she saw her, but before she could finish her sentence, Asia cut her off in a sharp, strained voice: "I want to see Mazen. Now." The secretary hesitated, trying to remain composed. "Mr. Mazen is in an important

    "Where is Asia?" Salma rushed into the apartment the moment Asia’s mother opened the door for her. Her breathing was ragged with worry as her eyes swept frantically across the place, searching for her. Asia’s mother looked up at her, and a tightness immediately gripped Salma’s chest. The woman looked as though she had been crying for hours. Her eyelids were swollen, her eyes red, and her face was painfully pale, worrying Salma even more. She spoke in a trembling voice: "In her room..." Then she swallowed a painful lump in her throat and added: "She hasn’t stopped crying since this morning... Please, go in to her. I don’t know what to do with her." Salma didn’t wait another second. She hurried toward the room, and as soon as she drew closer, she heard continuous movement coming from inside. She pushed the door open. And froze for a moment. Asia was pacing back and forth across the room, leaving Salma utterly bewildered. From one end of the room to the other. Then back agai

    Until he suddenly said: "By the way... Reem has almost finished setting up half of the baby's room." Asia slowly turned toward him. She hadn't expected him to mention her. But he continued as though he were talking about something completely ordinary. "Or at least, that's what I gathered from her. Almost every day, she sends me pictures of new things and asks what I think." He looked ahead again, a faint smile playing on his lips. "I don't know why she even asks me. I can't tell the difference between a baby crib and a wardrobe." Asia didn't answer. She simply felt something tighten inside her chest. After a moment, he added: "She's become obsessed with doctors too." Asia furrowed her brows without looking at him. "Doctors?" "Yes. Two days ago, she was asking one of her friends about the best pediatrician, and yesterday she was looking up breastfeeding specialists." He let out a quiet laugh. "I think she's studying the subject as if she's preparing for some life-or-deat

    She found him waiting for her downstairs, exactly thirty minutes later, just as he had promised. She descended the stairs in slow, measured steps, her blue dress swaying softly around her slender figure. Fitted at the top, it revealed the gentle curve of her pregnancy beneath the delicate fabric. Every now and then, her hand instinctively settled over her belly, as though reassuring herself of the little one growing inside her. The soft click of her sky-blue heels echoed lightly against the polished floor, making him turn toward her at once. The moment his eyes fell on her, he quickly stepped out of the car. A broad smile lit up his features, while a few strands of his lightly graying hair fell across his forehead, giving him a distinctive kind of charm. For the first time, she realized Salma hadn't been exaggerating when she'd talked about how handsome he was. The years were evident in his hair, but they had taken nothing away from him. If anything, they had given him an appealin

    . Asia's mother's face softened into a warm smile, her eyes trembling with something that looked suspiciously like tears. Even Salma, who was usually incapable of stopping her jokes, felt a childish excitement as she moved closer to them. "Really?! He kicked? Right now?" Asia laughed and nodded. Salma leaned forward slightly, as though she were trying to hear the baby through Asia's stomach. "Listen, little one... I'm your favorite aunt, so don't let anyone fool you." Laughter rose through the room once again. But Mazen... He remained standing where he was. He didn't laugh. He didn't speak. His eyes were fixed on Asia's hand resting over her stomach. He felt something strange tighten inside his chest. Something he had never experienced before. A few months ago, the entire situation had seemed like nothing more than a problem he needed to deal with. Then it became a responsibility. Then it became a baby whose heartbeat he heard through a cold screen. But now... That
