All Chapters of PREGNANT AFTER MY EX-HUSBAND CALLED ME BARREN.: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

The moment I saw my children running toward me, the exhaustion of the day disappeared.“Mommy!”Daniel’s voice echoed through the entrance of their school.I turned just in time to see him race towards me.“Slow down!”He ignored me.He threw himself into my arms.I laughed as I caught him.“There’s my boy.”“I missed you!”“I missed you too.”Elena appeared behind him, carrying her little backpack.She didn’t run.She simply walked toward me with a smile before wrapping her arms around my waist.I bent down and kissed the top of her head.“Hello, princess.”“Did you miss us?”“Every second.”Daniel pulled away.“Mommy, guess what?”“What?”“I saw the wierd man again!”I frowned.“What man?”“The wierd bookstore guy.”Elena immediately joined the conversation.“The kind man at the bookstore.”My smile faded slightly.“Oh…that’s nice?”Daniel looked at his sister.Elena nodded eagerly.“He was sitting inside a car.”My heart skipped.I forced myself to remain calm.“What did he look li

The moment the elevator doors closed and Kieran disappeared from my sight, I released the breath I had been holding.My back remained against the apartment door.My heart was still pounding.I closed my eyes.He was gone.Thank God. I stood there, trying to calm myself.Then i remembered I saw Daniel near the window, I called to him.Daniel stood in the living room, rubbing one of his eyes.His hair was messy from sleep, and his pajamas were slightly wrinkled.“Mommy?”I immediately softened.“What are you doing awake, baby?”He looked toward the door.“The man.”My heart skipped.“What man?”“The man you were talking to.”I swallowed.Of course he had seen him.But at least he hadn’t recognized him.Daniel tilted his head.“Who was he?”I forced myself to smile.“He’s an old colleague and also my patient.Daniel frowned.“From where?”“From the hospital”He stared at me suspiciously.“You work with him?”“Not anymore.”“Oh.”He looked toward the door again.At least he didn’t know

The apartment was unusually quiet.Daniel and Elena had already gone to bed, leaving only the soft hum of the television in the living room and the faint sound of traffic drifting through the windows.I sat on the couch with a cup of untouched tea between my hands.I hadn’t taken a single sip.My mind was somewhere else. Kieran Blackwell was sitting in the middle of my life again.I heard footsteps approaching.Jessica appeared from the hallway, wearing an oversized shirt and carrying a glass of water.She stopped when she saw me.“You’re still awake?”I forced a small smile.“I couldn’t sleep.”Jessica looked at me for a moment before sitting beside me.“You’ve barely slept since the conference.”“I don’t even know why.”“You should find out why.”I looked away.Jessica sighed.“Aurora…”“Yes jess.”“I know what you’re going to say.”She placed her glass on the table.“Then you already know I’m right.”I remained silent.Jessica leaned back against the couch.“You can’t keep running

Mom always says hospitals are not playgrounds and I know that.But today, our hospital visit wasn’t exactly planned.Mom had an afternoon shift, and Aunt Jessica was supposed to stay with us like she usually did whenever Mom had to work.But… Aunt Jessica had a work conference.She is a nurse too, just not at Mom’s hospital.She had been running around the apartment since morning, checking her suitcase, fixing her hair, and complaining that she was going to be late.Mom had finally sighed and said, “It’s okay. I’ll take them with me.”That was how Elena and I ended up at Mom’s hospital.Mom told us to stay close,Very close.“Daniel, Elena, you cannot wander off,” she warned us as we walked through the huge hospital entrance.I nodded.Elena nodded too.But Elena is better at listening than I am.Sometimes.Mom took us to a small staff room and gave us snacks, coloring books, and my little toy car.“You’ll stay here until I’m finished with this patient.”“How long?” I asked.“Not long.”

I stood in the doorway of Kieran’s office, staring at the scene in front of me.Puzzle pieces were scattered across the carpet.Daniel was sitting proudly beside the completed puzzle.And Kieran… was actually smiling.I had never imagined seeing Kieran Blackwell sitting on the floor with his son, helping him complete a children’s puzzle.The thought immediately made me tense.I looked at Daniel.Then at Kieran.Then back at Daniel.I couldn’t let myself forget what was at stake.“Daniel,” I said gently. “We should go.”“But Mom…”“No buts.”He sighed dramatically.“Okay.”He started gathering the puzzle pieces.Kieran stood and helped him.“You can have them,” he said.Daniel looked at him.“Really?.”Kieran smiled.“They’ll be safer with you.”Daniel’s eyes brightened.“I can come back tomorrow right?” I quickly answered.“Daniel.”He looked at me innocently.“Sorry mom”Kieran glanced at me but didn’t say anything.Then a small voice came from behind me.“Mom?”I turned.Elena stoo
