All Chapters of SURROGATE TO MY BEST FRIEND'S HUSBAND: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Abigail stood frozen in the obstetrics clinic corridor, her mind consumed by a storm of conflicting thoughts.With her legs feeling weak beneath her, she slowly made her way to a long metal bench and sat down beside a married couple who appeared to be waiting for their turn to be called.“What if our current treatment fails again?” the wife asked her husband, her voice heavy with despair.The man wrapped an arm lovingly around his wife’s shoulders and gently kissed the top of her head.“I won’t force you to go through another treatment, sweetheart. Don’t put yourself through this anymore. Having you by my side is already more than enough for me,” he reassured her.Abigail lowered her gaze to the informational brochure the doctor had given her.Her heart ached.While other people were fighting desperately for the chance to have a child, she was struggling to find a way to get rid of the one gro

 “Didn’t you tell her about it?” Thomas turned to his wife, Veronica Spencer, his brows drawn together in irritation.“I thought you were the one who told her,” Veronica shot back accusingly.“Do you think I have time to deal with trivial matters like that?” Thomas snapped, clearly annoyed. He then turned his cold gaze toward Abigail. “Enough. I’m tired. We’ll talk about this tomorrow.”With that, he headed upstairs, leaving Abigail standing there, utterly stunned and unable to utter a single word.The next morning, Abigail sat at the dining table, determined to get an answer to the question she had asked the night before. Yet her parents seemed completely absorbed in their own world, acting as though they had already forgotten what she had asked.“Dad,” Abigail called, looking at her father, who was busy scrolling through his phone.“Ye

 “Mom…” Abigail frowned.She felt a tiny hand touching her arm, gently shaking her awake.“Mommy…” The little girl’s familiar voice was laced with panic.Abigail opened her eyes. The moment she did, her gaze collided with a pair of familiar greenish eyes she knew all too well.“Amora…”Abigail hurriedly sat up and pulled the little girl into a tight embrace—so tight that Amora squirmed slightly, struggling to breathe.God… after all these years, why did that nightmare have to come back? Abigail thought as she wiped away the tears that had slipped down her cheeks before she could stop them. It felt as though all those painful events had happened only yesterday, even though seven long years had passed since those dark days.“Mommy, are you sick?” Amora asked anxiously.Her tiny hand reached up t

 “H-how did you know?” Veronica stared at Abigail in disbelief.“You told me yourself when you were drunk after having a huge fight with Daddy,” Abigail replied, tears beginning to well in her eyes.Veronica frowned, desperately trying to recall the moment Abigail was talking about. Over the years, she had gotten into countless arguments with Thomas, making it impossible to remember them all.“When you caught Daddy cheating on you, and he threatened to divorce you,” Abigail whispered, reminding her.Veronica’s face grew even paler.Back then, Veronica had discovered Thomas spending the night with another woman at a hotel, even though Thomas claimed the woman was one of his clients. A vicious argument had erupted between them.In the heat of the moment, Thomas had taunted Veronica for never giving him a son. He had also brought up how, years ago, Veronica had begged to b

“Pregnant? Is there a particular reason you suspect she might be? Did the patient complain of a missed period, nausea, or excessive vomiting before she lost consciousness?” Dr. Gibson asked.Mark fell silent for a moment before shaking his head. “I-I’m not sure. But we’re currently undergoing IVF,” he admitted honestly.Dr. Gibson gestured for a nurse to cover Abigail’s legs with a blanket before lifting the lower part of her dress to examine her abdomen. He gently pressed his fingers against her lower abdomen, just above the pubic bone.“I don’t feel any enlargement of the uterus,” Dr. Gibson murmured as he assessed her. “Her abdomen is flat and symmetrical. But to be absolutely certain, let’s run some emergency tests.”“Nurse, draw a venous blood sample for a serum beta-hCG test.”“Yes, Doctor,” the nurse replied promptly.While they waited for the blood sample to be drawn, Dr. Gibson retrieved a portable ultrasound machine—Point-of-Care Ultrasound, or POCUS—from the corner of the r
