Semua Bab Reborn Without You: Bab 1061 - Bab 1070

When Jasper spotted Christopher leaning against the wall, he slowed for half a beat. His expression went cold. Without a word, he walked straight into the hospital room.Christopher stayed where he was, watching the door close behind him, a heavy feeling sinking into his chest.Jasper had gotten here quickly. Too quickly.Could the baby have been his?They were dating. It wasn't impossible.Christopher drew a breath, the weight in his chest pressing harder. Now that Jasper was here, Amelia had someone by her side. There was no reason for him to stay.He turned toward the elevator, his steps slow and unsteady, as if he weren't fully grounded.Inside the room, Jasper crossed to the bed. The moment he saw Amelia's pale face and swollen eyes, his expression darkened.He reached out, brushing his hand against her forehead, frowning at how cold she felt."What happened? Weren't they supposed to do the procedure the day after tomorrow? How did you miscarry all of a sudden?"Amelia l

Amelia's eyes stung. She held the tears back."If Evie asks about me, just tell her I'm working on something important. When I'm done, I'll take her out for strawberry cake."In the end, Claire didn't press. "Alright. Just take care of yourself and don't push too hard. Don't worry about Evie. I'll take good care of her. Just come home when you're finished.""Okay. Thanks, Mom."After the call ended, Amelia tightened her grip on the phone. The tears she had been holding finally slipped free.She couldn't bring herself to tell her mother about the miscarriage.Claire wasn't in great health, and Amelia couldn't risk it. More than that, she didn't think she could face the pain and guilt she would see in her mother's eyes."You're up. How are you feeling?"Jasper's voice came from the doorway. He walked in carrying an insulated container.Amelia wiped her face quickly and shook her head. "I'm okay. Just tired."Jasper set the container on the bedside table and opened it. The smell

Early the next morning, when Winona pushed open the hospital room door with breakfast in hand, Amelia was already sitting up in bed, reviewing documents from Nova Nine Technologies.She wasn't fully recovered, but her mind had already returned to work.The Fighter 07 integration was at a critical stage. Too much depended on it for her to step away."Seriously? You're working already?"Winona set the breakfast down and pulled the documents out of Amelia's hands. "The doctor said your only job right now is to rest. Leave the rest to us."Amelia gave a small, helpless smile. "I know, but the project's at a key point. Jasper can't carry everything on his own. Besides, it's the weekend. He should be off, but he's still at the office handling all of this. I feel bad."Winona unpacked the food and handed her a bowl of chicken soup. "Don't worry. Jasper already told me he's got it covered. And I'm free today. I'll stop by Nova Nine later and help out. So quit stressing and focus on get

Winona took a slow breath, a dull weight settling in her chest.She turned and headed back to the elevator, pressing the button for Amelia's floor.-In the hospital room, Amelia sat with her laptop open, working.Christopher had said he would handle the Fighter 07 system integration.Still, every morning like clockwork, Nigel's project files showed up in her inbox.It wasn't that Christopher wasn't capable. The problem was the code and system architecture were full of Nova Nine's internal details. If she didn't review them herself, she couldn't put it out of her mind."Going through files again?"Winona walked in with a bowl of reheated chicken soup and tapped the edge of the laptop. "The doctor said you need to cut back on screen time. Your eyes can't handle this much strain. Didn't Christopher say he'd handle everything? Can't you give yourself a break?"Amelia rubbed her temples, then closed the laptop and took a sip of soup. "He's doing fine. I just need to double-che

Christopher continued, "Anything she broke, charge it at full price. Take care of it. Don't let it disturb the other patients."After the call ended, Christopher leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.Nigel followed his instructions and went to Samantha's room.He took in the mess across the floor, and then Samantha sitting on the bed, crying. He drew a quiet breath and stepped forward. "Ms. Bloom, you'll be responsible for the full cost of the items you damaged. As for the engagement, Mr. Zephyr said he has no objection if you'd like to end it.""I'm paying for this? And he's willing to call off the engagement?" Samantha looked up, her eyes red and swollen. "That's how he treats me?"Disbelief flashed across her face."I lost the baby, and he doesn't care? He's just going to end the engagement like that?"Nigel didn't move, his tone steady. "Mr. Zephyr has been under a lot of pressure with the project lately. I hope you can understand. As for the damages, that's compan
