The Doctor’s Voluptuous Patient 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 131 - 챕터 140

Chapter 139The world came back in fragments.White ceiling. Harsh light. The steady beep of a heart monitor. Lila’s first clear thought was the baby. Her hand flew to her stomach before her eyes were even fully open.“She’s awake.” Ethan’s voice, rough with fear. He was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, still in his work clothes, one hand wrapped tightly around hers. Damien stood on the other side, face pale, eyes red-rimmed.A doctor she did not recognize stepped into view. “Ms. Lila, you had a significant episode of preterm contractions. The baby’s heart rate dropped for a short time but has stabilized. You are both stable now, but you are being admitted overnight for observation. Absolute rest. No stress. No exceptions.”Lila’s throat felt raw. “The baby is okay?”“For now,” the doctor said carefully. “But the level of stress your body is under is dangerous this early. Another episode like this could change things quickly.”Ethan leaned down and pressed his forehead to hers.

Chapter 141The ninety minutes felt like they were already half gone.Lila sat on the edge of the hospital bed, the monitors still clipped to her finger, while Ethan paced the small room like a caged animal. Damien leaned against the wall, a gauze pad pressed to the cut above his eye, blood already seeping through.“We cannot take the deal,” Ethan said for the third time. “If you leave with Damien tonight, Richard and Amara win. They get everything they want. The baby grows up without me. You grow up without me. I will not accept that.”Lila’s voice was quiet but firm. “And if we refuse, she sends the photo. The board forces a DNA test. Then she arranges complications. The doctor already said another stress episode could be dangerous. What happens when she decides to create one on purpose?”Damien lowered the gauze. “There is a third option.”Both of them looked at him.“I go back to her,” he said. “Alone. I tell her I convinced you both to take the deal. I sign whatever papers she wa

Chapter 143The city lights blurred past the windshield as Ethan drove without a clear destination, only the need to put distance between them and the hospital. Lila sat curled in the passenger seat, one hand resting protectively over her stomach, the other gripping Ethan’s free hand like an anchor. Neither of them spoke for a long time. The only sounds were the low hum of the engine and the soft rhythm of their breathing.Eventually Ethan pulled into the parking lot of a quiet roadside motel on the edge of the city, the kind of place that asked no questions and took cash. He booked a room on the ground floor, helped Lila inside, and locked the door behind them. The room was simple—faded curtains, a double bed, a small bathroom—but it felt safer than anywhere they had been in weeks.Lila sat on the edge of the bed while Ethan checked the windows and bathroom. When he finished he knelt in front of her, resting his hands gently on her knees.“How do you feel?” he asked, voice soft.“Sca

Chapter 137 The motel room felt smaller the moment Ethan stood up and reached for his jacket. Lila watched him from the bed, the half-eaten takeout containers still open on the nightstand. She already knew that look on his face. The same hard focus he got when he had decided something and would not be moved. “You’re going back,” she said quietly. Ethan paused, then turned to face her fully. “The board is in emergency session right now. Amara is still in the building trying to salvage control. If I walk in there with everything we have, while the votes are happening, I can force the suspension to stick and push for more. Heyes’s license, the audit, formal protection for the staff who spoke up. I need to be there in person.” Lila pushed the covers aside and stood. “Then I’m coming with you.” “No.” The word was gentle but absolute. He crossed the room and took both of her hands. “You are still recovering from the last scare. The hospital is the most dangerous place for you right no

Chapter 139The afternoon sun hung low and heavy over the city as Ethan sat in his car two blocks from the warehouse, phone pressed to his ear. Damien’s voice came through the secure line, low and urgent.“I have the twin records,” Damien said. “Original hospital files from the night we were born. Mother’s name is listed on both. One twin marked deceased by administrative error. Richard’s signature is all over the amendments. Amara’s too. I’m sending everything to the lawyer and the journalists right now.”Ethan closed his eyes for a second. “Do it. Then get somewhere safe. At sunset I go back in for Lila. I need you ready as backup, not inside their reach.”“I’ll be close,” Damien promised. “We finish this together.”The call ended. Ethan stared at the warehouse in the distance, every minute stretching longer than the last. Lila was in there. Their child was in there. The thought made his hands tighten around the steering wheel until the leather creaked.His phone rang again. An unkn
