All Chapters of Reborn Without You: Chapter 1011 - Chapter 1020

Amelia looked at Samantha. "I don't think that's necessary. If the two of you have dinner plans, you should go together.""Is this because of me?" Samantha asked. "Is that why you're leaving? Now you won't even have dinner with me?"She pressed her lips together. "You have such a bright future here. If you're leaving now, there has to be a reason. If I did anything at work that upset you, you should tell me. I really do hate losing you as a colleague. We've worked well together."Amelia listened, and a cold laugh rose quietly in her chest.She had heard plenty about Samantha's background. Her father was a senior figure in the aerospace sector, which meant Samantha's future at the Academy of Aerospace had always been secure.And yet Samantha kept acting guarded around her, always finding subtle ways to stake a claim on Christopher.That strange insecurity almost made Amelia want to laugh."Ms. Bloom, you really don't need to be so nervous."Amelia stopped walking. A faint smil

Christopher immediately set down his fork and reached over to rub Samantha's back. "What's wrong? Are you feeling sick?""The ribs smell way too strong. I think I'm going to be sick."Samantha's voice took on a wounded edge as she glanced around the table, her displeasure barely concealed. "Who ordered that? Doesn't everyone know I'm pregnant? I can't handle the smell of meat right now."She had grown up spoiled, used to everyone around her making adjustments for her comfort. Now, with Amelia and Jasper sitting right there, she didn't even bother hiding the entitled streak in her temper.Christopher frowned and looked up at the server. "Take that away.""Wait."Jasper spoke before anyone else could. His tone stayed calm, but there was a firmness in it no one could miss. "Amelia likes that dish. Ms. Bloom, if the smell bothers you, you're welcome to sit farther away. There's no need to make the whole table adjust to one person's preferences."The hurt look on Samantha's face

When the car pulled into Amelia’s apartment complex, Jasper parked first, then got out and walked around to the passenger side to open her door.The moment he touched her cool fingers, his worry deepened.She had said her stomach felt off back at the restaurant. On the drive home, she had leaned against the seat with her eyes closed the whole way. Her face looked even paler than when they had left."Still feeling sick?" Jasper held her arm, concern filling his voice. "Don’t tough it out if you feel bad. We can still go to the hospital."Amelia shook her head and leaned slightly against his arm, her steps unsteady. Her voice carried a tired edge."I’m fine. I’ve just been packing and handling the project handoff lately. I’m probably worn out. I’ll feel better after some rest."Jasper half supported her as they walked into the building. In the elevator, the light caught the pale color of her lips, and the unease in him refused to settle.He knew how much Amelia used to love that r

Amelia nodded. She was about to get out when she spotted two familiar figures not far away.Christopher was carefully supporting Samantha as they walked down the hospital corridor together. Samantha's lower belly had begun to show, and pregnancy had softened her expression. Side by side, the two of them looked almost painfully intimate.Samantha noticed Amelia first. She immediately tugged Christopher to a stop, her voice carrying a deliberate note of concern. "Ms. Sinclair? What brings you to the hospital? Are you not feeling well?"Her gaze flicked between Amelia and Jasper, sharp with curiosity she didn't bother hiding well.Amelia's fingers tightened slightly. Her voice stayed calm. "It's nothing serious. Just a routine checkup."Christopher's eyes settled on her face, dark and unreadable, like a black sea with something heavy moving beneath the surface. He said nothing. He only watched her in silence, as if trying to find an answer there.Jasper glanced at the time on

After the blood draw, Amelia waited for the results in the hospital lobby.The waiting area was packed. She leaned back in her chair, her eyes fixed on the lab order in her hand as her fingertips worried the edge of the paper again and again.Jasper came back from outside with a cup of warm milk. "Drink a little. You need some strength."Amelia took it without arguing and sipped a few mouthfuls, letting the warmth slide down her throat.The blood test results wouldn't be ready for another ten minutes or so, but every second dragged.She was afraid the result would come back positive and throw every plan she had into chaos.At the same time, a strange, uneasy dread pressed at her chest, the fear of stepping into a change she couldn't see yet."Don't tense up so much." Jasper noticed how rigid she was and gently covered the back of her hand with his. His warmth seeped through her skin. "Whatever the result is, we'll handle it."Amelia nodded and was about to speak when a familiar
