Semua Bab Falling For My Husband's Doctor: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Daniel sensed it.Not with words. Not even with logic.With instinct.The same instinct that once told him when Eva was falling in love with him.Now it whispered a different truth.She’s hiding something.But what could it be, that she couldn't even tell him.His suspicions started subtle.A flinch when the phone rang.A too-fast swipe of her screen.A forced smile that didn’t reach her eyes.At first, he thought it was stress. The hospital bills, his recovery, the pressure of adjusting to their life again after he had spent months in a coma.But then… the signs began stacking.And they didn’t lie.Not the way she did.He needed to know the truth.Eva tried. God knows she tried to act normal.But guilt had a way of slipping through the cracks—softening her voice, shaking her hands, putting a frantic shine in her eyes whenever Daniel was too close.And Daniel, once gentle and trusting, had grown observant. Hyper-aware.He was becoming suspicious.And that only meant she had to be extr

Adrian didn’t rush it. He didn’t claim her with hunger or urgency.That was what unsettled Eva the most.Instead, he lifted a hand slowly, almost reverently, and brushed his thumb along her cheek, wiping away the tear she hadn’t realized had fallen.“You’re shaking,” he murmured.“I’m terrified,” she whispered back.His gaze softened—not entirely, but enough to quiet the tremor in her chest.“Come here,” he said gently.Eva didn’t remember deciding to move.She only knew that suddenly she was standing closer, close enough to feel his warmth, to feel the steady rhythm of his breath. Close enough for everything she’d been fighting to collapse all at once.Adrian leaned in and kissed her.Softly at first.Tentative.As if asking permission.Her body answered before her mind could catch up.The kiss deepened—not frantic, not desperate, but full. Possessive in a way that felt less like control and more like certainty. His hands slid to her waist, warm and grounding, anchoring her to the mo

The place Daniel chose wasn’t on any map worth noticing.It was an old private lounge tucked behind a shuttered cigar shop on the outskirts of the city, very discreet, the kind of place men came to when they wanted answers without witnesses. No windows. No music. Just low amber lighting and thick leather chairs that swallowed sound and secrets alike.Daniel arrived early.He hated waiting these days. Ever since he woke up in that hospital bed, time felt sharper, every second too loud, too deliberate, like it was daring him to waste it.He took the seat farthest from the door, his back straight despite the lingering ache in his chest. The doctors had warned him not to strain himself, not yet. But they hadn’t lived inside his head. They hadn’t felt the gnawing unease that had taken root the moment he opened his eyes and saw Eva smiling at him too carefully.Too perfectly.He checked his watch.Christopher Hale was late.Daniel exhaled slowly, pressing his fingers together. He reminded h

The silence the next morning was unbearable.It pressed in from every corner of the house, thick and suffocating, like the walls themselves were holding their breath. Eva lay awake long before the sun rose, staring at the ceiling, her mind replaying the night before in merciless detail.Daniel’s voice.His restraint.The way he’d walked away instead of breaking something—or her.She hadn’t slept.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw his face when he said I know. Saw the quiet devastation she had carved into the man who had trusted her most.When dawn finally crept through the curtains, it brought no relief.Eva pushed herself out of bed, her body heavy, eyes burning and swollen from hours of crying. She barely recognized herself in the bathroom mirror. Her lashes clumped together with dried tears. Her skin looked dull, lifeless.Guilty.She splashed water on her face, gripping the edge of the sink when her knees threatened to give way.Today changes everything, she thought.Either

Her heart dropped straight into her stomach.For a moment, she considered not answering. Letting it ring out. Delaying the inevitable just a little longer.But she knew better.Running had already cost her too much.She swiped to answer.“Eva,” Adrian’s voice came through immediately, low and intense. “I’ve been trying to reach you.”Her throat tightened. “I know.”“Why haven’t you called me back?” he demanded. “After everything we talked about, after last night. I wake up and I have not heard from you.”She closed her eyes. “I needed time.”“Time for what?” Adrian asked sharply.“For reality,” she said quietly.There was a pause. “What does that mean?”“It means Daniel knows,” Eva said.Silence exploded on the line.“He knows?” Adrian repeated. “How?”“He hired someone,” Eva replied. “A private investigator. He knows about us. About the baby. About everything.”Adrian swore under his breath. “And?”“And I told him the truth,” Eva said. “All of it.”Her heart pounded as she waited for
