All Chapters of HE LEFT ME FOR MY STEPSISTER, I MOVED ON TO THE NEXT: Chapter 361 - Chapter 370

Chapter 361I felt another movement inside me.Tiny.Soft.Like my baby was responding.Like somehow...This little life inside me knew I was scared.Nathan grabbed my hand immediately.But his own hand was shaking too.Because across the hallway………….Lucian stared through that glass...Like his entire world was dying.And this time……………..No one knew if Luca would survive.Carmen screamed."LUCA!"Everything became chaotic.Doctors rushed around the incubator.Monitors flashed.Nurses moved quickly between machines.No one explained anything.No one looked at us.And somehow...That was the worst part.Lucian stood frozen against the glass.Completely still.Completely pale.I had never seen a person's face lose color so fast.Not even when Noah died.Not even during everything we had endured.Lucian looked like a man watching his heart stop beating."Sir, please step back."A nurse tried moving him.He didn't react.Didn't blink.Didn't breathe."Sir………………….""What happened?"His vo

Chapter 363His smile disappeared immediately."Nurse?"She kept walking.Too fast.Lucian stood."Nurse."This time, his voice was sharper.She stopped.Slowly turned around.Her face shifted almost instantly.Professional smile……….Professional calm……..Professional lie…………."Yes, sir?"Lucian stared at her."What happened?""Nothing happened."She said that way too quickly.Lucian's jaw tightened."What happened?"Silence.The nurse glanced toward Luca's chart.Then, back toward Lucian."We're just monitoring some fluctuations."Carmen frowned immediately."Fluctuations?""It's normal in premature babies."Normal.I was beginning to hate that word, too.Because hospitals used it when they didn't want people panicking.Normal………Monitor…………..Observe…………..Hopeful…………..All those words suddenly felt dangerous.Lucian stared at her for a few seconds.Then finally nodded.But I knew him.He wasn't convinced.Not even a little....Later that night………………Nathan finally forced me home.

Chapter 365I sat nearby watching quietly while rubbing my stomach absentmindedly.Six months.I am six months gone now.My stomach had rounded beautifully.The baby moved often lately.Especially when Nathan spoke.Which annoyed me greatly.Very greatly.Because apparently my child had already picked favorites.Traitor.Complete traitor.Nathan walked into the NICU room carrying drinks.His face immediately lit up seeing me.Like I was sunlight or something.Ridiculous man.He handed Carmen her drink.Then Lucian.Then me.Then……..He froze.Slowly looked down.Very slowly.At my stomach.Then narrowed his eyes suspiciously."...Elena."I blinked."...yes?"He looked offended.Deeply offended."Our child kicked twenty minutes ago."I stared."...and?""And I wasn't here."I blinked again.Lucian looked confused.Carmen looked confused.I looked confused.Nathan looked personally attacked."I missed it."Silence."Oh my God."I started laughing."Nathan………….""I MISSED IT."Lucian bur

Chapter 367Carmen wiped tears from her eyes."Lucian……………. babies cry!""But why?!""I don't know!""You don't know?!""I just gave birth weeks ago!"Chaos.Absolute chaos.And somehow...Luca stopped crying.Everyone slowly looked toward the incubator.Tiny Luca stared up sleepily.Then……….His tiny hand wrapped around Lucian's finger.Immediately.Lucian froze.Silence filled the room.Because something changed on his face.Everything softened.Everything.His eyes.His expression.His breathing.Everything.And quietly………He whispered:"...oh."Carmen's eyes immediately filled.Because that single word carried everything.Fear.Love.Relief.Wonder.Everything.I looked down at my stomach unconsciously.Six months.Soon seven.Soon our baby would be here too.Soon Nathan would become a father.Soon our lives would change forever.Nathan suddenly wrapped an arm around me from behind.His chin rested on my shoulder."You okay?"I nodded softly.Then smiled."I was just thinking.""H

Chapter 369He laughed weakly.Then whispered:"...we're taking our son home."And suddenly……….Everyone started crying.Everyone.Even Nathan.Though he'd deny it later.Definitely…..Because after months of fear...Months of prayers...Months of waiting...Luca had finally won.And for the first time...It truly felt like light had returned......................................................Luca came home three days later.And somehow...The entire house looked different.Not because anything had changed.But because someone new existed inside it.Someone tiny.Someone important.Someone who had already turned every one of us into complete idiots.Absolute idiots.Balloons filled the living room.Soft blue decorations hung everywhere.Liam and Ava had apparently gone overboard.Way overboard.A banner stretched across the wall:**WELCOME HOME, LITTLE FIGHTER**Carmen burst into tears the second she saw it.Again.At this point Carmen cried at least twelve times a day.Possibly m
