All Chapters of Lust for My Father-in-Law: The Plus-Size Secretary: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

I lay on the hospital bed, hands still wrapped around my stomach. The sharp pain from earlier had now turned into a deeper, throbbing cramp. The monitor beside me beeped softly. Derek sat in the chair next to me, head bowed, while Nathaniel stood near the window with an unreadable expression.The gynecologist came in again after the re-examination. Her expression was more serious than before. She closed the door, then approached the bed."Mrs. Whitmore. I need to share the latest examination results. The spotting we saw earlier has increased. The contractions also haven't stopped despite the medication. On the latest ultrasound, the fetal heartbeat is no longer visible."The world seemed to stop."What?" My voice cracked.The doctor nodded gently. "I'm very sorry. The fetus is no longer viable. This is what we call an incomplete miscarriage. We need to perform an immediate procedure to clean the uterus to prevent complications. We'll prepare for a curettage procedure within the next h

I let my body sink into the somewhat hard pillow. This hospital wasn't the fanciest, but this VIP room was comfortable enough.Outside, the sound of nurses' footsteps could be heard occasionally, the clinking of medicine trolleys, and faint murmurs from the corridor. I closed my eyes, trying to calm my heart that was still pounding after Nathaniel's departure.That man. Nathaniel Whitmore. The father of my own husband—or ex-husband—I didn't even know what to call him now. Our relationship was a mess that had no name in any dictionary.I turned my head, staring at my phone screen that remained dark. Nathaniel said he would wait for me to heal. But was this healing only physical? The wound in my womb might recover in a few weeks, but the wound in my heart? I wasn't sure.The door opened again. I thought it was Ethan, or maybe my father returning from handling the administrative matters. But the one who entered was a young nurse with a friendly face, carrying a tray of food."Mrs. Sera,

The next day, Derek came exactly as promised. I had prepared myself. My face was dull without makeup, my eyes slightly swollen because I had deliberately cried a little before he entered.I wore a loose hospital gown, making my body look smaller and more fragile. I wanted him to see me as a victim—a victim who needed her protector.Derek opened the door hesitantly. His gaze met mine, and for a moment, I saw a flash of guilt in his eyes. He stepped in carefully, like someone walking on eggshells."Sera..." his voice was hoarse.I looked down, letting my hair cover part of my face. "Derek."He sat in the chair beside the bed, keeping a safe distance. His hands clasped together tightly. "I'm sorry. I know those words aren't enough. I know I hurt you, but I...""I'm giving you another chance.""What?"I lifted my face, letting tears stream down my cheeks. These tears were real—or at least half real."I've been thinking all night. I'm angry. I'm so angry at you. But when I lay here alone,

At the OfficeI stepped into the Whitmore Corporation building with confidence. The black blazer dress I wore fit my body perfectly—six months of diet and gym had truly changed everything. I was still full-figured, but my body was now firm and shapely. My waist was slim, my breasts were full, and my face glowed.The employees in the lobby stopped talking when they saw me. Some of them stared with wide eyes, in disbelief. I could hear whispers among them."Is that Sera? Really?""She's completely changed!""I almost didn't recognize her."I smiled faintly, walking past them gracefully. Yes, let them look. Let them know I was no longer the fat, neglected woman they used to mock behind my back.I stepped into the executive elevator and pressed the top floor button.The doors opened. I walked down the corridor toward the room that used to be my workplace—my father-in-law's secretary's office.The same room, but the chair behind that desk was no longer empty.A young man sat there. He was

At the HospitalI laughed at Nathaniel's words, but the vibration in my body was undeniable."You really are crazy," I said while playing with his shirt collar. "But I also miss making love with you, Daddy."Nathaniel took a long breath, his eyes darkening. "Don't tease me, darling. I could forget all this work and take you to a hotel right now.""I know you could." I kissed his cheek softly. "But not now. There's still time. We have to be patient."He sighed in frustration, but nodded. "Fine. But you owe me.""I know, and I'll pay it back." I smiled mischievously, then rose from his lap. "Now, I have to go home. Derek must be waiting for me."Nathaniel shook his head in annoyance. "I hate those words.""I do too. But this is for our plan."I left his room, leaving Nathaniel with a satisfied smile on his face. Outside, Derek was already waiting in his car. When I got in, he kissed my cheek warmly."How was your day, darling?""Tiring but enjoyable. I like working with Nathaniel."Dere
