Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire's Pregnant Wife: Kabanata 371 - Kabanata 380

He jabbed at the elevator's button and paced, the three words echoing in his senses again and again. Fire! Hailey! Trapped! This was a lie. It couldn't be. This was a dream. How could there be a fire? Where did it come from? And what kind of a big joke was the Butler playing on him?Hailey wouldn't be trapped! She couldn't be! She must be alright. She had to be alright. He cursed out loudly and punched the damned doors. He'd be damned if anything happened to her. If even a hair on her body was hurt. If even a hair—He'd be so damned!The elevator reached the parking lot and the doors slid open. Kendrick sprinted out. The bodyguards were on standby, they had the car ready. The expression on their faces showed that they were already aware. And he didn't wait for the driver to open the door. He waited for no one to approach him. He grabbed the car keys from the driver's hands and zoomed out of the company.On the road, those three words kept echoing. His eyes fixed ahead, his h

The voice was frantic and it mentioned something like "Hospital?" Kendrick echoed the woman's words.The reply from the other end was affirmative. And Kendrick didn't wait to hang up. He grabbed a car key from one of the bodyguards and drove away. And he put down the phone after getting all the information he needed. Hailey was at a hospital. The foreboding feeling became stronger, suffocating him. The woman didn't give him any more details apart from the location of the hospital. She didn't tell him how she was or what condition she was in at the moment. She seemed to be in a hurry. There were so many noises in the background. Kendrick sped along the highway. She had to be fine. Hailey must be fine. She had to be alright with the baby. This new hope of knowing she was alive wasn't that promising. From the woman's tone, Kendrick was plunged into more depths of horror. And when he arrived at the local hospital and hurried down the hallway jammed with people, his eyes darted to ea

She fought through the darkness once more. With all her might and all her heart, she had to know where that voice was coming from, who it belonged to, and why it sounded familiar. And she fought. She kept on fighting, winning and losing. She didn't stop until a surge of energy burst through her, until a blinding light invaded the darkness, until those heavy weights lifted gradually. And the lights dimmed and her eyes fluttered. This time, she could hear new voices. Foreign voices. Voices that were all clear and coherent. They weren't only calling out to her, they were also conversing in the background. "Hailey, can you hear me?" This voice belonged to a female. "Please don't faint again, Hailey. You are strong, I know you can fight it."But Hailey wasn't strong. The pain was still there. The boiling tears scalded her cheeks and her grips tightened around that soft thing. Where was the male's voice? The darkness took her again. Where was that familiar voice?It hurt. She wanted

"Oh my goodness, you're awake." She gave Hailey a quick hug and frantically wiped her tears. "It's alright, Baby, please stop crying." She hushed her and hug her again. "You need to keep strong. Some things aren't meant to be."Hailey's lips trembled. They hurt. How could this be? Why did things have to come to this? She didn't lose her baby. She would never lose her baby. "Hailey." Kara took her hands, grabbing her attention. "Don't cry, okay? Please take heart. Our little one sacrificed its life for you. You have to be strong. You have to keep on living."Hailey shook her head and sobbed harder. No. She couldn't keep on living. She could not live without her baby. And her baby didn't sacrifice its life for her to live. Kendrick did that. Kendrick sacrificed their baby's life. Hailey's sob filled the ward and she wrapped both arms around her stomach. If the doctor's explanation was true, then there was only one answer to why she was still living. Kendrick prioritized her life

As much as she didn't know why she was out of her mind at that time; why it felt as if an unknown force had taken over her body, she knew that it wasn't right. All those things she did weren't right. She wasn't supposed to treat Kendrick like that. Maybe she should have followed the Butler's advice and let his anger come down. She should have listened to Kara's words and not made a great deal out of things. "Crying all the time will only worsen things, Hailey."Silent tears trickled down Hailey's face and Kara used her thumbs to wipe them. "You have to be strong. You can't let the grief take over you."Strong? That word sounded foreign to Hailey. Her grandfather had told her these same words. Her grandfather had spent hours here, offering her every word of advice. He said she had to be strong. She had to look after her health. But how could she be strong when she'd just lost her baby? Her poor baby. Hailey wasn't going to be strong. She was never going to forgive herself. Kara
