My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 511

"Evie, what happened? Tell me."

Lucian's gentle voice seemed to echo right beside her ear. A lump formed in Evie's throat, and a tear rolled down her cheek.

She popped her head out from under the covers, her red-rimmed eyes fixing on him.

He still cared enough to talk to her.

Evie instinctively cupped her hands.

Lucian and Eleanor had tried everything to coax her. Lucian would even froth her medicine into bubbles, tricking her into drinking it by saying it was magic.

She would force it down, but the bitter aftertaste always left her gagging.

Just as she opened her mouth to cry...
