My Husband's Affair My Anniversary Gift (Lily and David) novel Chapter 209

“I...” She froze, her fingers clutching the bedsheet. “I was bleeding… what happened to me?” she whispered, looking at David with fear in her eyes.

David’s throat tightened. He took a deep breath, trying to stay calm for her sake, even though the memory of last night still haunted him. He reached out and gently took her hand.

“Lily…” David’s voice came out low. “You were bleeding because....”

Before he could finish, the door suddenly opened. The doctor walked in with a nurse behind him.

“Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Hardison,” The doctor greeted politely.

Lily blinked, her brows knitting together. Mrs. Hardison? The words felt strange in her ears. No one had ever called her that before. Her eyes instantly shot toward David, narrowing suspiciously. What did he say this time?

David, pretending not to notice her glare, simply gave a faint smile, the kind that made her even more annoyed.

The doctor moved closer, checking her file. “Mrs. Hardison, how are you feeling now?”

“I’m… feeling better,” Lily replied softly, her voice still weak but clear.

“That’s good to hear,” the doctor said, nodding. “But from now on, you have to take better care of yourself. You can’t be careless like yesterday. No Drink, rest more, and avoid stress. Your situation is a little more complicated than most women, so you must be extra careful. I’ve already explained everything to Mr. Hardison. If things go smoothly, you can go home tomorrow.”

Lily frowned, her confusion deepening. Complicated? More careful? What’s going on?

She glanced at David, who stood silently beside her bed, his face unreadable. The words “I’ve already explained everything to Mr. Hardison” bothered her. She hadn’t given him any right to speak for her.

“Doctor,” she said, looking back at him, “can you please tell me what’s wrong with me? I… I remember bleeding last night.”

The doctor hesitated for a second, surprised. “Mr. Hardison didn’t tell you?”

Lily shook her head. “No.”

The doctor gave a quick look toward David before answering. “You’re pregnant, Mrs. Hardison.”

Lily’s eyes widened. For a second, she thought she’d heard him wrong.

“What?” she breathed out, almost whispering. Her gaze shifted slowly to David, searching his face for some kind of denial anything that said the doctor was joking.

But David didn’t say a word. His heart pounded so loud he could barely hear himself think. He could see the disbelief and anger flickering in her eyes, and it twisted something deep inside him.

“Lily…” he said softly, leaning closer to her. He reached out and took her cold hand in his.
