After Rejection Divorced Luna Becomes A Famous Doctor (Hailey and Dominic) novel Chapter 71

CHAPTER SEVENTY–ONE–1

HAILEY

I didn’t expect my day to go the way it did.

+25 Points?

After the talk with Dominic, he decided to stay back, and make sure I was fine. When he left, I checked the time, and noticed that Valerie would be back soon with the test results.

I then went downstairs, and waited patiently. I tried to act like the anticipation wasn’t eating me up, and making me feel like I was going crazy.

I tried to think of anything else that wasn’t the test results. Like Liam, or Dominic.

But that was a big fail.

I couldn’t help but remember the conversation I had with him, and how he sounded. He was really scared, and even though he said all those things, I was still afraid.

Even if he said he loves me, I can’t forget the last five years. I can’t forget how it was after he chose her. How broke and alone I felt doing life without my soulmate, how empty my life

was.

The thought of having another child, and not knowing what would happen the next day, or the day after, was terrifying.

Could I really believe that Yasmine might have perhaps bewitched him? She was horrible, but was she that horrible? Was she that desperate to get Dominic back that she would use

magic, and force him to marry her?

It seemed too far–fetched.

It sounded ridiculous, and not plausible. But, the thought was there, and even if the test turns out negative, I had to get to the bottom of this. If truly Dominic was saying the truth, then there was a high chance that everything that happened six years ago was as a result of some witchcraft, and not his own decision.

It could also be that the dreams he had were a sign. A sign that would tell him to stay away from Yasmine.

A sign that would warn him not to trust her, and stay far away.

But, what if…

I shook my head.

No. I couldn’t start thinking about that. It was already hard trying to deal with the past, and the present.

I didn’t need the possibility of the future, or what might or might not have happened, to stress me out.

But, there was something wrong.

There was something in his eyes, and his voice. It was almost as if he knew. Like deep inside, he knew what was happening, and how she was messing with him.

Like there was a part of him that wanted to fight, and break free, but he has been forced to shut it off. He had to pretend that everything was okay, when deep down, it wasn’t. It was as if his head knew, but the spell was preventing his heart from realizing.

Was it possible?

Was he truly bewitched?

And do I really want to get myself involved in this? Do I want to go through all the hurt and pain, just to prove that Yasmine was a witch and that she’s the reason we got a divorce? Do I want to risk my mental state and health, just for the sake of helping Dominic?

Would it be worth it?

This situation has cost me so much, my marriage, my love, and my family. It wasn’t about getting myself involved in this. I was already involved in it for years. I was the victim here. The one who had to suffer, and watch the man I loved walk away and leave me.

Now, Dominic was telling me that everything was a mistake. That the entire relationship, the divorce, and the marriage to her was a lie. He was telling me that everything was a sham. That none of it was real. But yet, he couldn’t leave. It was as if he was trapped.

So, was I supposed to just let it go, and not fight for the truth? Was I supposed to just walk away, and pretend that nothing happened?

How was I supposed to forget what happened, and how badly I’ve been hurt?

I couldn’t.

Getting to the bottom of this would finally bring closure, and would allow us both to move on. And we would find out if truly Yasmine was behind all this, or Dominic truly ended up with her, because he wanted to.

“Hailey?”

I snapped my eyes towards her, and realized that she has been standing by the door with Liam.

“Are you okay? You were just staring into space.”

“Sorry, yeah. I’m fine. Hey my boy! How was school today?”

“Good mommy. Are you okay now?”

“Yes, baby. I’m okay. I’ll just go change and we’ll do your homework.”

“Okay.” He said and ran into his room.

“Did you bring the test results?” I quietly asked her, and she nodded.

“Yeah. Let’s go upstairs.”

I nodded, and we both walked up the stairs.

I closed the door and locked it, “What did it say?”

“I didn’t run the test myself, because you would have seen right through me the moment I came in. So I asked one of the other nurses to run the test, so I’m also as clueless as you.”

I nodded, and took a deep breath.

“Hailey, even if the test is positive, it’s not the end of the world. It’s not a good time, but it’s not the end. We can do this. If you need any help, I’ll help. I’m always going to stick with you no matter the decision you make. You don’t have to do this alone. Whatever you choose, I’ll support you.”

“Thank you, Valerie. You have no idea how happy I am to have someone like you in my life. Someone who always has my back, and doesn’t judge. Someone who’s always willing to help. Someone who’s loyal and trustworthy. Thank you, for everything.”

She hugged me, and patted my back.

“Hailey, there’s nothing to thank me for. You’re my sister, and best friend. I would do anything for you. No matter what, I’m not leaving. So, if the test is negative, then it is what it is. And if the test is positive, we’ll deal with it. And if you choose to keep the baby, I’ll be right by your side every step of the way.”

I nodded and wiped the tear that escaped.

“Okay. Enough. Let’s just do this.”

She handed me the paper, and I opened it. I took in a deep breath and exhaled, before reading the results.

I blinked a few times, and read the words again. Slowly, a smile started appearing, and a small laugh escaped.

“Hailey? What is it?”

“Negative. It’s negative.”

She sighed in relief, and hugged me.

“Thank God. Oh my God, I wasn’t the one who has the pregnancy test, and yet I was so

nervous.”

“I would love to give Liam a sibling, but this would have been the absolute worst time to do that. And not with my ex husband who’s married to another woman. I would have kept my child regardless, but do you know the public shame, and judgement I would have had to endure?”

“Hailey, you’ve never cared about that. Not one bit. And I know that no matter the circumstances, or how complicated your situation is, you’ll always be a good mother. Always. But I’m also glad the result came out positive, because the last thing you need is more drama in your life. And, there’s something else I also want to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“Well, I had the nurse run an overall test. And the blood test shows that you have a low supply of iron. This is why you have been experiencing fatigue, and fever. So, the doctor wants to check you for anaemia, and if that’s the case, then she’ll prescribe medication. But, if the result is negative, she would need you to come back for a bone marrow test. And, if that comes out positive, she would then prescribe iron pills, and will need to see you often for blood tests. But, let’s not think about the negative. Let’s hope the results are all good, and that the anaemia is due to malnutrition. Now, let’s go downstairs, and make dinner. I’ll cook, while you do Liam’s homework. Sounds good?”

“Yes, ma’am. Sounds perfect.”

“Hailey, if you’re tired, I can-”

“Val, I’m fine. I’m okay now, and I can do the work. And besides, my fever broke. And the headache is gone. And all thanks to you, Dominic came here and took good care of me.” I

said the last part with sarcasm, glaring at her in accusation.

“Don’t fucking blame me now, girl, I know you enjoyed every single moment of that. It was like the old times, where you had your knight in shining armour.”

“Oh my God, can you stop?”

She laughed, and went down the stairs.

I changed into a pair of grey sweats and a white tee, and headed to Liam’s room.

The test was negative, and I couldn’t begin to describe how relieved I was. I didn’t want a baby, not right now.

It would have been a terrible time, and not the ideal situation. This was just a scare, and now things were starting to get back on track.

Everything was going to be okay as long as I didn’t have a baby to worry about.
