His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 479

Chapter 479

Everett, the hospital.

Mia Carter stepped down from the examination table. “Dr. Preston, still no signs of labor?”

Cole Preston pulled off his surgical mask. “Not yet. Don’t worry, your physical health is excellent. We can afford to wait a little longer. After all, your due date isn’t for another three days.”

With three days left, Mia wasn’t necessarily impatient. It was just that the sensation of waiting was becoming agonizing.

“Mia, Ethan is getting married tomorrow.”

Cole stood with his hands tucked into his lab coat pockets, watching her closely.

The news of Ethan Hale’s wedding was everywhere. Mia certainly knew. Cole brought it up now, but he didn’t follow it with anything else.

Mia couldn’t quite read his intent. Her eyelids flickered slightly, and she replied naturally, “I heard. Are you not going back for the wedding, Cole?”

Cole shook his head. “He didn’t want me to go. He was worried about you…”

Before he could finish the sentence, the office door was thrown open.

Serena Woods marched in, holding a stack of prenatal reports. She shoved them toward Cole. “Admit me now. You’re personally performing my C-section.”

Her movements were aggressive. She tossed the thick file at Cole, letting go before he could even reach for it.

Cole caught it instinctively, then quickly set it down.

‘Mrs. Gallagher Jr., I still have some matters to attend to. Please, have a seat and wait a moment.”

He then looked at Mia. “Wait for me, Mia. I’m going to grab your blood work results.”

Cole turned and left the room.

The files on the desk slid off, papers scattering across the floor. As luck would have it, one sheet slid across the tiles and stopped right under Mia’s foot.

‘You know who I am, and you still dare to make me wait?” Serena snapped at Cole’s retreating back.

But Cole didn’t look back as he walked away.

Serena turned around and saw Mia standing on the corner of one of her reports. She stepped forward and gave Mia a violent shove.

‘Are you blind? You’re stepping on my reports!”

Caught off guard, Mia instinctively clutched her belly.

After steadying herself, she turned a cold gaze toward Serena.

Serena’s belly was as huge as a beach ball, looking like it could pop at any second. Even if Mia weren’t pregnant,

she couldn’t bring herself to retaliate against someone in that state.

Mia turned to leave, but Serena blocked her path.

Mia, Ethan is marrying another woman tomorrow. Do you really think this baby has any meaning?”

In the end, he still doesn’t want you!” Serena sneered.

Mia pushed her hand away. “It’s normal that he doesn’t want me. On the other hand, you’re about to give birth, Mrs. Gallagher Jr.-why isn’t your husband here with you?”

The verbal jab hit its mark. Serena’s expression shifted instantly.

No matter how little I’m valued, I’ve already entered the Gallagher family. Unlike you, who will never set foot in he Hale family as long as you live!”

Mia had only made a passing comment; she hadn’t expected to strike such a nerve. It seemed her relationship with ‘atrick Gallagher was far from perfect.

If you have time to harass me, you should spend it thinking about how to build a relationship with your husband. Goodbye.”

Mia didn’t want to waste any more breath on her.

But Serena had come specifically for her. She grabbed Mia, refusing to let go.

What has the world come to? A mistress thinks she can lecture people now? If you don’t get on your knees and pologize to me today, don’t even think about leaving!”

jeeing that the woman wouldn’t stop, Mia quickened her pace and walked out into the hallway.

The moment she stepped out, someone shoved her hard from behind. Mia went flying forward, slamming ace-first into the wall.

Mia slowly looked down. Her dress was gradually being stained wet. Then, waves of sharp pain began radiating ‘rom her lower abdomen.

The suddenness of it felt like a nightmare.

Terror and panic intertwined in her heart. For the first time in her life, she was completely at a loss.

Serena looked nervous for a split second, but a streak of ruthlessness quickly replaced it. She had already made her nove. She had to finish this!

She glared at Mia’s frail form and reached out again, putting all her strength into it-
