My CEO HUSBAND sign the divorce novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191: she knew about the pregnancy!

The doctor continued seriously, "We checked her medical records. She’s experienced several previous injuries and accidents during the pregnancy already. The fetus is unstable."

Guilt hit me instantly.

While she had been suffering through all of this alone...

I knew absolutely nothing.

"If she loses this baby," the doctor added carefully, "it may become very difficult for her to conceive again in the future. From now on, she needs complete rest and proper care."

I closed my eyes briefly before nodding firmly.

"I understand."

This time...

I would protect both of them properly.

Alicia remained unconscious when she was transferred into the ward.

Bandages covered both sides of her swollen face.

The sight of her lying there so quietly made my chest ache painfully.

I sat beside the bed silently for a long time before finally reaching for her hand.

Then, almost unconsciously, I placed my other hand gently against her stomach.

It still felt unreal.

For four whole months, this tiny life had been growing quietly inside her...

And I had known nothing about it.

What kind of husband was I?

What kind of father was I ?

A bitter smile touched my lips faintly.

I suddenly remembered Washington.

Back then, whenever Alicia carefully looked after Bella, I would sometimes catch myself imagining what our own child might look like someday.

Would it be a boy or a girl?

Would the child resemble me more... or Alicia?

At the time, I had forced myself to stop thinking about it.

Our relationship was already unstable enough.

It felt foolish to dream about a future like that.

But now, thinking back on it...

Alicia had already been pregnant then.

And I hadn’t even realized it.

The sound of my phone ringing pulled me back to reality.

I glanced once at Alicia before standing up quietly and walking out of the ward to answer the call.

"Hello."

"Mr. Blackwood," the police officer said from the other end, "we’ve caught the suspects involved in Mrs. Sinclair’s kidnapping."

My expression darkened instantly.

"And?"

"We interrogated them. According to their statements, Lucas Summer was the one who hired them."

Lucas Summer.

The moment I heard his name, my jaw tightened violently.

The officer continued, "At the moment, we still need Mrs. Sinclair to provide an official statement regarding the incident."

"Alicia is not in any condition to give statements right now," I replied coldly.

There was a brief silence on the other end before the officer responded, "Understood, sir. We’ll proceed with the evidence currently available and apply for an arrest warrant for Lucas Summer first."

"If there’s anything else," I said flatly, "contact my lawyer directly."

"Understood."

I ended the call slowly.

For several seconds, I stood there silently outside the ward, my grip tightening around the phone.

I knew Lucas wouldn’t let go of things easily, especially after what happened with Jason.

But even I hadn’t expected him to go this far.

Kidnapping Alicia.

Hurting her.

Almost causing her to lose the baby.

The thought alone made a dangerous rage rise inside me.

Last time, I had chosen to let Lucas off for the sake of old ties and past favors.

But this time...

He had crossed the line completely.

And no matter what it cost—

I would make him pay.

I lowered my gaze before dialing Maria’s number.

The call connected quickly.

"Hello, Maria."

"Sir?" Maria sounded surprised. "It’s already so late. Why haven’t you and Mrs. Alicia returned home yet?"

I glanced through the glass window toward the hospital ward before speaking quietly.

"Alicia was involved in an incident tonight. She’ll need to stay in the hospital for a few days."

Maria immediately sounded alarmed.

"What happened? Is Mrs. Alicia alright?"

"She’s resting for now," I replied. "Tomorrow, bring some of her clothes from home. And make something nourishing for her too."

Maria fell silent briefly before asking softly, "Is the baby okay?"
