**Mia's POV**

The elevator doors opened to reveal a corridor that looked nothing like the sterile hospital hallways below. Rich mahogany paneling lined the walls, and original artwork hung in carefully curated groupings. My heels sank into plush carpeting as I made my way to Nate's office, my portfolio clutched like a shield against my chest.

I paused before the heavy double doors, taking a steadying breath. Through the frosted glass, I could see movement - a tall figure pacing, gesturing as he spoke on the phone.

Before I could knock, the door swung open. Nate stood there, phone still pressed to his ear, but his face lit up when he saw me. He gestured me in, mouthing "Just a moment" as he wrapped up his call.

"No, tell them Thursday won't work," he said, his voice carrying that easy authority I was beginning to recognize. "The equipment needs to be calibrated by someone who actually knows what they're doing, not just the lowest bidder." He paused, listening. "Exactly. Have Dr. Chen h

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 502 Almost Home

    Mia's POVAlexander's sneaker squeaked against the linoleum. "Daddy?"Kyle's hand lifted off the blanket. Slow. The IV tube trailing behind it like a leash. His fingers found Alexander's hair.Alexander climbed. His knee caught the bed rail. His elbow jabbed into Kyle's hip. The heart monitor spiked.Alexander's face pressed into Kyle's shoulder. The hospital gown bunched under his cheek, the fabric dotted with small blue diamonds, the kind of pattern. Alexander's fingers found the edge of the gown and twisted. Held."You woke up." The words were muffled. Wet. "You woke up you woke up you woke up—"Kyle's hand moved in Alexander's hair. Once. Twice. His eyes were closed again. At the foot of the bed, Ethan stood."Ethan." Kyle's voice was rough. Sandpaper on wood."Come here, Ethan."Kyle's hand extended. Palm up. The IV line stretched. The needle shifted under the tape. The seconds stretched. I could hear Alexander's breathing. I could hear the fluorescent light buzzing overhead. I co

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 501 Kyle, can you hear me?

    Mia's POVWe took the elevator back up. Madison pressed the button. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.The doors opened.The hallway was quiet. It was always quiet on this floor. The ICU had a particular quality of silence—not empty, but muffled. Held. Like the building itself was holding its breath.I pushed the door open.Alexander was still standing by the bed. Still talking. His voice had gone hoarse now, scratchy at the edges, but he hadn't stopped."—and then the dragon said, 'I'm not scary, I'm just misunderstood,' and the princess said, 'Well, you should work on your communication skills,' and the dragon said—"He stopped when he saw us."Madison, you're back. I'm telling Daddy about the dragon and the princess. Do you want to help? You can be the princess voice. I'm doing the dragon voice."Madison walked to the sofa. Sat down. Pulled Eleanor against her chest."Maybe later," she said."Okay." Alexander turned back to Kyle. "Madison says maybe later. She's shy. But she'll do the princess voice e

    Mia's POV"Daddy, wake up."Alexander's voice was small. Not the usual Alexander voice.He was standing on his tiptoes, his chin resting on the edge of the hospital bed, his fingers curled around the metal railing. The bed was too high for him. He'd dragged a chair over earlier, but he preferred standing. Said it made him feel closer."Mama says if you leave us like this again, she'll never forgive you."The ventilator hissed. A soft, rhythmic sound. In. Out. In. Out.I didn't correct him. I hadn't said those exact words. But I hadn't not said them either.The monitors beeped. Steady. Green lines moving across black screens in patterns. Heart rate: 62. Oxygen: 97. Blood pressure: 118/76. Numbers that meant alive. Numbers that didn't mean awake.Kyle's face was slack. That was the word the nurse had used. Slack."I learned a new word today," Alexander continued. He was tracing patterns on the blanket with his finger. Circles. Squares. A lopsided star. "Ethan taught me. It's called 'com

    Mia's POVThe family lounge was too bright. That was the thing about hospitals—they never let you forget where you were. The fluorescent lights hummed overhead, casting everything in that flat, shadowless glare that made everyone look slightly ill. Even Sophie, with her perfect makeup and her Hermès scarf, looked washed out. Gray around the edges.Madison was asleep against my shoulder.Her breath came slow and even, warm against my neck. She'd been asleep for almost an hour now, her small body heavy with the particular weight of exhausted children."Coffee?"Thomas's voice. Low. Careful. He was holding a paper cup, steam rising from the surface.I shook my head.He sat down anyway. Not next to me—there wasn't room, with Madison sprawled across half the couch—but close. Close enough that I could smell the coffee, dark and bitter, cutting through the nothing-smell of the hospital air."You should eat something," he said."I'm fine."He didn't respond. Just sat there, holding his coffe

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 498 Before

    Mia's POVI didn't sleep.I tried. For the first hour, I lay in bed and stared at the ceiling and told myself that sleep would come.It didn't.So I got up. Made tea. Let it go cold on the counter. Made another cup. Let that one go cold too. I cleaned the kitchen even though it was already clean. I folded laundry that didn't need folding. I sat on the couch with Gas's head in my lap, her pregnant belly rising and falling with each breath, and I watched the numbers on my phone change.3:47. 3:48. 3:49.It came anyway.The light crept through the curtains, gray at first, then that pale gold that means the day has started whether you're ready or not. I watched it happen. Watched the room transform from dark to light, shadow to color. My eyes were dry and scratchy from crying, the skin around them tight and swollen. I caught my reflection in the window glass and looked away.Gas lifted her head when I stood up, her dark eyes following me across the room. She'd been restless all night too,

    Mia's POVHe took a breath. "Mia.""Don't." I held up my hand. "It's a new immunotherapy procedure. CAR-T cell infusion combined with targeted lymphodepletion."I stared at him."Hugo's team has been monitoring my markers," he continued. His voice was steady. Too steady. "My baseline has improved enough that I'm finally eligible. There's a clinical trial at Johns Hopkins—one of the leading researchers in autoimmune disorders. They accepted me three days ago.""Three days," I said. "You've known for three days.""Yes.""Were you going to tell me at all?" My voice cracked. "Or were you just going to disappear into a hospital tomorrow and hope I didn't notice?""I was going to tell you tonight.""Tonight. The night before." I laughed. It sounded wrong. "Twelve hours. Wow. How generous.""The procedure has a narrow window. The timing—""I don't give a shit about the timing!"The words exploded out of me. Louder than I meant. I didn't care."I don't give a shit about your window or your c
