Semua Bab Reborn Without You: Bab 1051 - Bab 1060

The fluorescent lights in the ER were harsh and glaring. Jasper helped Amelia onto a bench, her face so pale that it almost blended into the wall behind her. Damp strands of hair clung to her forehead, soaked with cold sweat.In the car, she had doubled over without warning, clutching her abdomen, her body shaking. Jasper wasted no time. He ran red lights the entire way to the hospital."Doctor, she's pregnant. She was planning a termination, but she suddenly had severe abdominal pain. Please take a look."Jasper caught the on-duty physician and spoke quickly.The doctor frowned and guided Amelia onto an exam bed. After a brief check and a look at her results, he returned with a serious expression. "Early pregnancy with abdominal pain, and you've had strong pregnancy reactions before. Your body is under a lot of stress. A procedure right now would carry a higher risk than normal."He paused, looking at her. "Are you sure you don't want to keep the baby? If you do, we can admit

"So what do we do now? Do we adjust our strategy and deal with Lincoln first?" Nigel asked."No." Christopher shook his head. "Fighter 07 is still our core advantage. If Lincoln wants to go head to head, it won't be that simple. Set up a senior leadership meeting this afternoon. We'll go over a response plan. And move faster with our government partners. Don't give him any opening.""Understood." Nigel nodded and turned to leave.Christopher headed toward the hospital entrance, his pace steady. As he passed the end of the hallway where Amelia had disappeared earlier, he slowed.Without really thinking about it, he glanced down the corridor.It was empty. Only the faint smell of disinfectant lingered in the air. Something in his chest tightened, leaving a hollow, unsettled feeling that kept getting stronger."Mr. Zephyr, the car's ready." Nigel's voice came from the entrance.Christopher pulled his gaze back, took a slow breath, and forced the feeling down before walking ou

Jasper continued, "Right now, you're the one who knows this system architecture best. I need to know if you're willing to take it on. If it's too much physically, I can assign someone else."Amelia's fingers rested on the words resident engineer in the document. She stayed quiet for a few seconds.Being based at FutureDrive would mean regular contact with Christopher. That was exactly what she had been trying to avoid.But Nova Nine hadn't come by this opportunity easily. This module was critical for future expansion, and she was the most suitable person for it."Okay." She looked up at Jasper, her tone steady. "But I'll need a week. I'll go after the procedure once I've had some time to recover.""No problem." Jasper nodded. "For the next few days, go to FutureDrive, get familiar with their setup, and do an initial handoff with their team. I'll handle the early follow-up work here."-The afternoon video meeting went smoothly. Amelia raised several key points about the system l

Amelia continued, "Now that your grandmother's gone and we're no longer tied to each other, there's no reason to keep holding onto resentment."Christopher held her gaze. It looked steady, but there was something unsettled beneath it. "Amelia."She raised a brow and looked at him.He seemed about to say something, then stopped. There wasn't much left to say, anyway.She already understood. He had explained things about Nicole. She was aware of that.The misunderstanding was gone, and they still couldn't make it work. That wasn't on her."I'm sorry," Christopher said quietly.He turned and walked out.Amelia watched him go and let out a slow breath. Her hand at her side had already curled into a tight fist.Some people could stand right in front of you and still feel farther away than anything else.They were never going to meet in the middle. They were like two lines running side by side, never crossing.-That afternoon, after finishing her work, Amelia gathered the docu

Half an hour later, the test results came back.The doctor walked over to Christopher with the report, his expression serious."You're the patient's family, right? She's pregnant, but all the signs point to a complete miscarriage. There's nothing we can do."Christopher went still. "What did you say? She's pregnant?"Everything fell into place at once.Her pale face. The nausea in the office. The way she had panicked and hidden those documents that morning.She had been pregnant, and he hadn't known."Yes. From what we can tell, she was already having strong early symptoms. Combined with physical strain or stress, it led to the miscarriage."The doctor glanced at him. "You're her husband, aren't you? Your wife was pregnant, and you didn't even realize how much strain she was under. Go see her. After something like this, she's going to need support."That word, "husband," landed hard.Christopher didn't explain. He just nodded and headed straight for the ward.Inside the ro
