Ran Away Pregnant Came Back Alpha Heiress (Amelia and Damien) novel Chapter 97

**Night Whispers Forgotten Names – Colin Shah**
**Chapter 97**

I took a step back from the bed, my heart feeling as though it was being left behind in that room. The air was thick with unspoken words and lingering emotions, making it hard to breathe. With a heavy heart, I turned away and exited, leaving behind the remnants of a moment that felt far too precious to abandon.

**Amelia’s POV**

Throughout the remainder of my appointment, I maintained a semblance of friendliness with Dr. Wyatt and Healer Eve, but inside, I was a bundle of frayed nerves, my heart weighed down like a stone. The connection I had felt with Damien, that flicker of joy we had shared, now seemed like a cruel joke. The moment he mentioned Claire, it was as if someone had snuffed out the flame, extinguishing any warmth that had dared to bloom between us.

Now, all I could do was wait for this appointment to conclude, longing to return to Jake’s estate. I envisioned myself crawling under the covers, escaping into the cocoon of my blankets, hoping to fast-forward through the remainder of this dismal day.

I was exhausted—exhausted from putting on a brave face, from trying to be the bigger person, from mustering the strength to confront a world that felt increasingly hostile. Tomorrow would demand the same of me, but for now, I just wanted to retreat into solitude.

As Dr. Wyatt gathered her things, I mustered the courage to voice my thoughts. “If I linger here until you leave, would you be able to take Damien with you? I’m not ready to face him just yet.”

Dr. Wyatt offered a tight-lipped smile, yet there was a hint of understanding in her eyes. “He is genuinely excited about the baby,” she replied.

“The babies,” I corrected her, a pang of bitterness creeping in. “Let’s not forget about Claire.” I knew I would never forget her.

“Amelia, it’s the child he is focused on, not Claire herself,” Dr. Wyatt said gently, attempting to soothe my turmoil.

I turned away, my gaze fixed on the wall, as if it might provide some solace from the reality I was trying to escape.

“I’m sorry, Dr. Wyatt. Please don’t take offense. I truly appreciate everything you do for me, but right now, I just need to be alone.”

“Of course,” she said, her voice tinged with a hint of sadness that made my heart ache.

“It has been a long day,” Eve chimed in, her tone sympathetic.

“Dr. Wyatt, you take Alpha Damien with you. I’ll go and fetch Cara from the lobby. I’m sure Jake is here by now,” I suggested, my mind racing with thoughts of him.

Jake was here, likely managing Sienna and whatever chaos she was brewing. The thought sank my heart even lower.
