Chapter 333 Alone in a Foreign Land

Fiona left the room without making a sound, the faint curve at her s impossible to suppress, because whether her words had truly planted a seed or not, the one staying by Alexander’s side now was still her.

Elena arrived at the airport in the early hours of the morning, exhausted to the bone yet still unable to herself relax, because this was her first time ever traveling abroad, and everything around her felt strang and unfamiliar. The crowds were filled with fair–haired, blue–eyed strangers speaking in accents she had strain to follow, but thankfully the basic communication went smoothly enough, and after a bit of effort she managed to get into a taxi and give the driver the address.

She was so tired that even sitting upright felt difficult, yet in a place where she knew no one and understood nothing with certainty, she did not dare close her eyes. Instead, she forced herself to stay awake and kept glancing at the navigation on her phone, watching the route with the kind of vigilance t only came from being alone in a foreign country.

At first, everything seemed fine.

But after ten minutes or so, she realized something was wrong.

The route on the screen had already begun to drift away from the original one.

A jolt of anxiety shot through her, and she immediately leaned forward and tapped the drivers seat, tryi to get his attention. The driver pulled over, then turned around and launched into a long explanation in rapid, heavily accented stream of words, and it took her a while to piece together what he actually meant

He wanted more money.

Thirty percent more than the original fare.

If she refused, he would leave her right there by the roadside.

For a second, Elena was so angry she almost laughed.

But anger was meaningless compared to safety, and in the end, she had no choice but to agr

The shift in the nurse’s expression was immediate.

The friendliness vanished so quickly it was almost jarring

“He’s not here‘

Elena blinked in surprise, then glanced down at the address and clinic name again to make sure th made a mistake. It was exactly what Declan had sent her.

Thinking perhaps she hadn’t explained clearly enough, she tried again.

‘My name is Elena. I’m here to see Alexander. Alexander Kingsley.”

‘I already said he’s not here. There’s no one by that name, the nurse cut in coldly. “Can’t you unders If you’re not here for an appointment, then stop disturbing our work. If you don’t leave. Il call the ;

She even reached for the phone as though she meant it.

There was nothing Elena could do except leave.

By then she was so tired that every step felt heavy, and after walking out of the clinic, she sank onto th stone planter by the entrance and stared blankly at the building in front of her, its tasteful exterior no feeling strangely distant and hostile.

Had Declan gotten it wrong?

She pulled out her phone to call him, but before she could even dial, the wreen flashed a low battery warning, flickered twice, and died in her hand.

Firea

Only after soaking in the water for a while did the numb coldness finally begin to leave her hands and fo and even then, the fatigue in her body still felt crushing. Thinking of the baby, she forced herself to ord room service, then ate a tle when the food arrived, though she was too dazed and drained to taste mu of it, and not long after that, she crawled into bed and fell asleep almost immediately.

Sometime in the middle of the night, her stomach lurched violently.

She barely made it to the bathroom before she started vomiting again, and after several miserable roun of retching, she pressed a hand to her forehead and realized with dismay that she was burning up.

Elena stood there in the harsh bathroom light, feeling so wretched she almost wanted to cry.

Her luck really could not have been worse.

With no other choice, she contacted room service again and asked them to help her get to a hospital, an before long she was being rushed there in another blur of lights, voices, and hurried movement.

Because she was pregnant, most medications were off–limits, so all the doctors could do for the time bei was bring her fever down physically and give her a few drugs that were considered safe for the baby.

The doctor assigned to her was a young woman who, to Elena’s surprise, spoke fluent Westorian.

‘Did you come here alone?” she asked. “Where is your husband?”

‘I came alone.”

Elena lay in the hospital bed with an IV running into her arm, and although she still felt weak, the fluids had already brought back a little of her strength.

‘He doesn’t know I came. I haven’t contacted him yet.”

And now, the truth was, she did not even know where he was.

She had thought about calling him, but she was afraid he would worry, so she decided she would wait get she felt a little better before trying to find him again.

It’s too dangerous for you to be by yourself,” the doctor said, clearly disapproving. You’re pregnant. You have to think about the baby too.”

I’m already feeling better,” Elena replied softly.

The doctor looked at her for a moment, as if she wanted to say more, but eventually she only sighed un

resignation

“Alright. Then get some west. If you need anything, call for us

“Thank you.”

At last, after everything she had been through since getting off the plane, Elena was finally able to close her eyes and sleep properly.

Morning came.
