Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1020

Isaac noticed that she was still dazed from her slumber and stopped pressurizing her with questions. He gently helped her sit up and leaned her head against the headboard. Then, he swiftly poured her a cup of water.

“It’s a little hot. Please be careful.”

Sabrina was at a loss for words, seeing his care and concern.

She furrowed her brows.

Nevertheless, she still obediently complied and took a sip of the warm water.

“Where are we? The sky’s already dark?” After she finished drinking, her eyes scanned the room before landing on the window.

Isaac hurriedly nodded.

“Yeah, it’s already nighttime. Ms. Hayes, when you returned to the hotel, you fainted from the immense discomfort. Following your collapse, I brought you to the hospital there and then.”

“Hospital?”

With the cup still in her hands, Sabrina jolted in shock.

“Is it that serious?”

“Y-Yes.”

“Huh? What’s the problem? Has it got to do with my stomachache? Is it appendicitis?”

The first illness that came to mind was acute appendicitis. It was the only illness in her knowledge that would warrant a trip to the hospital.

To her surprise, Isaac shook his head.

“No, it’s not. It’s because… you’re pregnant.”

“W-What did you just say?”

The moment the words left his mouth, Sabrina thought it was her ears that were playing tricks on her. She warily narrowed her eyes at him.

However, Isaac daringly met her glare and replied, “Yes, Ms. Hayes. You didn’t hear wrong. The doctor said that the reason you were in such great pain was that there were signs of a miscarriage.”

Sabrina was rendered speechless.

“So, for the next few days, you can’t get out of bed and move around. They said it’s the only way for you to keep your child.”

His last sentence began to trail off as he lowered his gaze to avoid eye contact.

He instantly tried to distract himself by looking elsewhere.

Sabrina remained silent.

Her mind went completely blank for a good ten seconds.

I’m carrying a child? How the hell is that possible? Could it be… that night in Coldbridge?

The scenes from that steamy night immediately played in her head like it just happened. Her heart began racing faster and faster.

“Ms. Hayes?”

Isaac had been patiently waiting for her response but to no avail.

Hence, he turned around to face her, only to see her looking distraught.
