My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 603

Hearing his desperate coughs, Skylar immediately rushed to his side and rubbed his back. "Dad, are you okay?"

Managing to catch his breath, Stephen clamped a trembling hand over hers. "Tell me the truth. What have you done?"

Skylar bit her lip, staring back at him in agonizing silence.

His chest heaved with brutal exertion, and for a terrifying second, it looked as though he might pass out entirely.

"Dad!"

She whipped around, glaring fiercely at her visitors. "Are you happy now? He's in agony! Do you really want to put him in an early grave?"

"If anything happens to him, it'll be your fault!"

Her words echoed forcefully through the sterile room.

Tiffany opened her mouth to argue, but Seraphina shook her head.

"Tiff, leave it."

She turned back to the sickly man. "Stephen, we won't disturb you any further. Please get some rest."

Before they could leave, Stephen rasped, "Wait."

Skylar stared at him in panic. "Dad!"

"Why did she come here? What is she looking for? What did you do?" he demanded stubbornly. "If you don't tell me right now, I'm refusing all my treatments."

"I..." Skylar was completely paralyzed, tears instantly welling up in her red-rimmed eyes.

"Stephen, you've misunderstood. We truly just came to visit," Seraphina assured him softly. "We bear absolutely no ill will."

"Focus on your recovery. We'll be going now."

She gently placed the gift basket on the small side table. "These are just some health supplements. They might help."

Giving Tiffany a firm tug, she practically dragged her friend out of the room.

Out of the corner of her eye, Skylar caught sight of Seraphina's heavily bandaged hand. A pang of raw guilt struck her chest.

That was the same hand that had saved Martha!

Back in the burning building, she and her grandmother had been rushing desperately toward the lower floors.

But they had bumped right into Seraphina and her friend.

Even while fleeing for her own life, Seraphina had stopped to warn them about the lethal smoke below, urging them to climb up to the roof instead.
