Chapter 8 - Emily Wakes Up Safely in Her Hospital Suite
Back at the hospital, the morning sun poured warmly through the window of Emily’s private recovery suite.
She opened her eyes slowly, looking around the quiet room before her gaze finally locked onto mine.
“Ryan? Are we still at the hospital? Is our baby okay?” she asked in a soft, anxious whisper.
I stood up from the bedside chair, kissing her forehead tenderly as I took her hand.
“The baby’s heartbeat is strong and steady, and the doctors say you’re both out of immediate danger,” I reassured her.
Emily let out a long, shuddering sigh of relief, resting her hand gently against her swollen stomach.
“I was so scared they were going to take everything away from our son,” she admitted, tears welling up.
“They aren't taking a single dime, Emily; in fact, my lawyers are dismantling their entire financial empire today,” I promised.
She looked up at me with surprise, reading the absolute resolve written clearly across my face.
“Your family will never be able to step foot near us or our child ever again,” I added firmly.
