My CEO HUSBAND sign the divorce novel Chapter 192

Chapter 192: "For the sake of the baby......."

"There’s no mirror here," Alexander said softly. "But I can show you with my phone."

"...Okay."

He unlocked his phone and held up the dark screen in front of me.

The reflection staring back looked unfamiliar.

My hair was messy. My face and eyelids were still swollen. White bandages covered both sides of my cheeks, making me look pale and exhausted.

I quietly looked away.

"Put it down."

Alexander lowered the phone immediately.

"Don’t overthink it," he comforted softly. "It’ll heal."

I lowered my eyes slowly.

If Alexander hadn’t arrived in time yesterday...

The thought alone made my chest tighten.

Almost instinctively, my hand moved toward my lower abdomen.

Alexander noticed immediately.

"The doctor said you’re at risk of miscarriage right now," he said quietly. "You need complete rest for the next few days."

My fingertips froze against the blanket.

"So... you know now."

Alexander’s gaze softened slightly.

"For the sake of the baby, stop worrying about everything else for now. I’ll stay here with you."

I looked at him silently for several seconds before lowering my gaze toward my stomach again.

So he had found out after all.

After this...

There was no way he would agree to the divorce easily anymore.

A faint smile touched my lips.

"You’re very sure the child is yours?" I asked softly.

Alexander barely hesitated.

"If it’s not mine, then whose would it be?"

There wasn’t even the slightest trace of suspicion in his voice.

Because deep down, he knew I would never betray him.

I looked away quietly.

"You sound very confident."

Alexander immediately narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You’re deliberately saying this because you still want the divorce."

His fingers tightened around mine.

"But that’s not happening."

I sighed softly.

Seeing my reaction, Alexander’s expression eased slightly.

"Alicia," he said quietly, "you knew about the pregnancy for a long time, didn’t you?"

I remained silent.

"I had the doctor check the medicine bottles in your room. Those weren’t stomach medications at all. They were prenatal vitamins."

His voice grew lower.

"If this accident hadn’t happened... were you really planning to hide the child from me until after the divorce?"

For a long moment, neither of us spoke.

Then I finally said quietly,

"I originally planned to tell you."

Alexander’s gaze froze slightly.

"The day you returned from your business trip..."

My voice gradually softened.

"I waited for you for a long time that night."

Back then, I had been genuinely happy.

I wanted to tell him we were having a baby.

But instead...

He returned with Lilian and didn’t come home on time.

The next day, he handed me divorce papers.

The ward fell silent instantly.

Alexander’s expression stiffened completely.

I could feel his grip around my hand tightening little by little.

After a long silence, he finally lowered his head slightly.

"...I’m sorry."

I looked down quietly.

"Later, I tested you once."

I paused briefly before continuing softly,

"I asked what you would do if we had a child."

Alexander’s breathing visibly faltered.

"But after everything that happened yesterday..." I whispered, "I’m glad I kept it secret."

I slowly placed a hand over my stomach.

"If Lucas had known about the baby earlier..."

My fingers tightened slightly.

"...he never would’ve let this child survive."

The color drained from Alexander’s face instantly.

For the first time since waking up, I saw genuine fear in his eyes.

Regret.

Pain.

Self-blame.

All of it surfaced clearly across his expression.
