Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 88

VICTORIA’S POV

I sat beside Grandma, turning my attention away from Dominic. It’s a little hazy, and the situation suddenly turned too unexpected.

Aless hastened to call the maid to get the doctor as I held Grandma as much as possible with my pregnant belly.

The maid rushed upstairs to call their private doctor.

In all the mess, once again, I turned to face Dominic, and he was still standing there, watching us without even moving an inch.

What is wrong with him? Why can’t he just come up and help his grandmother? What is he thinking!?

Once more, I looked at Grandma, whose face was now furrowed with a frown and had turned pale as if she had lost blood. This really does not seem anything good to me.

When I heard, “Grandma must have been so excited to see me back.”

I felt compelled to gaze up at him due to the tone of his voice. Despite the circumstances, he remained cool and collected. His demeanor wasn’t simply a matter of being calm under pressure, as he appeared completely unconcerned!

I didn’t have much time to think about him, though, as Aless took Grandma away from me and leaned her on the sofa.

Before the doctor appeared, Aless started massaging her hands, and I followed his moves. He started throwing drops of water on her face and moistened her lips to prevent them from becoming too dry.

Two minutes later, the doctor arrived and promptly examined her. He is constantly attentive to her needs following her surgery. He even lives in the mansion and always keeps her in check.

Alessandro stepped aside to allow the doctor to examine Grandma. After assessing her pulse and eyes, the doctor redirected his attention to Alessandro.

“Madam Devonte was just too excited for some reason, I guess. She is a heart patient who suffered a major surgery. Also, she is growing older. So, sudden excitements or shocks are not good for her health.”

“For now, she is not in danger. She needs some fluids and a good rest. But, in the near future, please take care of her surroundings. She should not get any shock no matter what.”

All of us were relieved hearing the doctor. We were all so scared at the sudden situation.

Alessandro nodded and talked with the doctor while I sat beside Grandma, holding her pale and old hands.

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of Dominic from the corner of my eye.

A jolt of surprise shot through me as I noticed the subtle smirk that tugged at his lips.

It was unusual to see him behave in such a manner after arriving here, considering my previous knowledge of Dominic and Alessandro’s profound affection towards their grandmother.

But Dominic’s sudden behavioural change toward Grandma is a bit strange, and that feeling chilled down to my bones.

Without realizing it, my hand moved to caress my belly. Despite everything occurring appearing ordinary and appropriate, it somehow feels incorrect. It is as though the circumstances are not in harmony with one another.

It feels like everything is covered with a strange shadow. Well, my sensitive pregnancy mind intends to think a lot for the last couple of months. Lately, everything seems strange to me.

I never imagined how much my pregnancy would impact my perception of everything around me. I see Dominic in a new light, even if he’s not doing anything out of the ordinary.

However, that doesn’t stop me from being suspicious of Dominic. From the night of the banquet till today, the more I see him, the more I feel that something is very much off with him.

“You okay, baby?” Alessandro’s voice brought me out of my thoughts as I smiled at him and nodded, suppressing my inner doubts.

I can’t keep burdening him with one tension after another. Moreover, this one seems baseless, so I dropped it.

He caressed my back with an assuring smile and then turned to Grandma. He held her up, and we all walked upstairs to her room.

Before following Aless, I subconsciously looked at Dominic, whose face was blank now. He seems tensed too. Well, I guess I thought too much and followed my man.

Alessandro and I sit by and anxiously wait for Grandma to wake up. Dominic and two maids are also with us. And the doctor too.

While we waited, I found myself leaning slightly against Aless, enjoying the comfort of his presence. I absentmindedly caressed his thigh, hoping to ease any tension he might be feeling.

Aless inquired about the time it would take her to regain consciousness after the doctor got up and re-examined her while repeatedly issuing the same warning.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Devonte. There’s nothing seriously wrong with madam. She should wake up soon. As I said, she just needs good rest and healthy foods.”

Aless breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. Gazing at Grandma once, he stood up and thanked the doctor before leading him out.

Then he came beside me again and kissed the side of my head. “You must be tired too. You need to go get some sleep, sweetheart.”
