All Chapters of My Don Husband Chose His Nephew I Took Our Son: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

My son was twenty-seven days old when I started packing for the two of us.The maid saw the open suitcase. “Are you and the Don taking your son on a trip?”I shook my head. “Just me and my son.”She glanced awkwardly over my shoulder.Gabriel stood behind me in Joseph's nursery with my dinner tray. I hadn't heard him come in. There was a slight frown on his face.He set the tray on the side table, then leaned over the crib to check that Joseph was still asleep.“Where are you going? I'll come with you. My men can handle things here for a few days.”I slipped Joseph's birth certificate into a folder.“You don't need to. I start work in Zurich in five days. Joseph's coming with me.”He paused, then smiled and tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear.“Still upset about what happened?”“I'm talking about a job.”“I know. Your old colleagues have been in touch.” He glanced at the suitcase and took my hand. “Once you've recovered, I'll arrange something if you want to go back to work. Wh

The formula arrived soon after. Gabriel followed the instructions, checking the water temperature and measuring everything exactly.But after two feeds, Joseph started spitting up. Then he cried until his little face was red.Gabriel paced with him in his arms and spent the afternoon looking things up.“It takes time to adjust to formula. I asked the doctor. He said to give it three days. Don't worry.”At one in the morning, Joseph’s forehead felt hot. I checked his temperature. 102.7°F.I picked him up and rushed to the next room. Gabriel was sitting beside Aaron’s bed, helping him drink some water.“Gabriel, Joseph’s fever is almost 103. We need to get him to the hospital. Now.”He stood at once and reached for Joseph, telling the guards outside to get the car ready.Then Aaron suddenly knocked over the glass beside his bed.His mouth opened as if he were trying to speak. His body went rigid, and he fell back against the pillow. His arms and legs began to jerk.Celeste screamed and r

Gabriel's POVI stared at the butler, trying to keep the panic out of my voice.“What do you mean, she went to Zurich?”“Donna took an afternoon flight. Joseph and his maid went with her.”This afternoon, I'd been having the tailor adjust Aaron's cuffs. I'd planned to spend time with Nora and our son after the dinner.How could she be gone?“Did she say when she'd be back?”The butler shook his head and held out the divorce papers.I took them and turned to the last page.Nora had signed.Last night, seeing her signature had only made me angry. She knew I'd never agree. Why get a lawyer? Why take it this far?Now those familiar letters made my hands go cold.She wasn't trying to make me give in. She wasn't waiting for me to sweet-talk her.She meant to end our marriage.I called her. The call wouldn't go through. I tried another number. Nothing.Still gripping my phone, I stumbled into our bedroom.The crib was empty. The bottles and the little blue blanket were gone. So were Nora's sl

Gabriel's POVBefore I brought Aaron to Zurich, I canceled the announcement naming him my temporary heir.My underboss Leo asked what to do with the papers we'd already drawn up.“File them away. Nothing goes out.”Celeste didn't argue. She only asked whether Nora had told me to do it. I shook my head. She said nothing more and held Aaron's hand the whole way.Nora and her team were waiting at the hospital.She crouched in front of Aaron and asked if he ever saw double, or had trouble swallowing water.He was frightened. She had a nurse show him the equipment first, then took her time explaining what would happen.I stood beside them with nothing to add.I started waiting for her after work.The first dinner I sent came back untouched. I tried bread from a bakery, the kind she'd always liked. She asked reception to tell me there was food in the staff room.Eventually, I stopped sending other people. I waited by the exit with the bag myself.She came out discussing a scan with a colleag

Nora's POVI visited Aaron the night before his surgery.He had a sketchbook on his lap. When he saw me, he asked softly, “Will I be able to get out of bed by myself afterward?”“That depends on how you recover. Just let us do the tests we need. We'll take care of the rest.”He turned to the last page. He'd drawn the stars on a ceiling.“I gave Joseph his room back.”I looked at the drawing, then tucked the blanket around him.“When you're better, you can choose a light you like for your own room.”Before I went into surgery the next morning, I watched a video of Joseph. Then I put my phone in my locker.The operation took longer than we'd expected. Only after we'd finished the last critical step did I notice how stiff my shoulders were.Aaron went to intensive care. We'd got him through the most dangerous part, but there was still more treatment ahead. His recovery would take time.Celeste covered her face and cried. Gabriel wrote down the doctors' answers. When I came out, he handed
