Wife by Day Boss by Night (Natalie and Brian ) novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152 

As Natalie weathered the barrage of insults, Brian had never uttered a word in her defense. She feared that he too had always harbored the belief that she was cunning and had taken. the rumors of her drugging him as gospel truth. 

There could be no second accident. 

The car fell into a deathly silence the moment she mentioned “contraceptive.” 

Brian’s hand, resting protectively on her lower back, tightened ever so slightly. 

“After all this time, I wish I’d never carried your child,” Natalie said after a while, her voice laced with self–deprecating laughter. 

Reid cautiously glanced at them through the rearview mirror, his grip on the steering wheel betraying his nerves. 

Brian’s eyes, mirroring a stormy sea, remained fixed on Natalie’s profile, refusing to calm. However, even as they arrived at the hospital, Brian remained silent. 

As soon as the car stopped, Natalie tried to get out on her own, but a few shifts caused her vision to blacken with pain. 

Brian leaned over and lifted her out of the car. For a fleeting moment, Natalie was close enough to brush against his face, but she awkwardly turned away, unwilling to be so near 

him. 

A nurse wheeled a gurney out from the emergency room, but Brian, without a word, didn’t set Natalie down. Instead, he carried her swiftly toward the emergency room. 

Several attending physicians, alerted in advance, waited anxiously at the entrance. On seeing Brian approach, they wasted no time in wheeling Natalie into the emergency room. 

“Get a blood test, now!” Natalie heard Brian command in a deep voice from outside the 

room. 

Lying on the bed, she stared blankly at the stark white ceiling. She remembered going to the hospital alone the first time she found out she was pregnant, intending to hide the blood test results. Yet, the very next day, she learned of the Howard family’s plan to send her abroad. 

They labeled the child in her womb a mistake and accused her of scheming in silence, planning to use the child as leverage against the Howard family to shield Audrey. 

The Howard family said they would be shamed by her and the child, that she had to leave Streamville to prevent any tarnish to their reputation. 

Back then, her thoughts were foolishly fixated on Brian. She guarded her unborn child zealously, fearing any mishap would anger him. 

She couldn’t quite understand how her affection for him was strong enough to brave loneliness in a foreign land, enduring scorn and prejudice to protect his offspring.

She had even naively hoped that after the child’s birth, Brian would, for the sake of the child, listen to her explanation and forgive her, right? 

If she could go back four years, she would tell her naive self, “End it, Natalie. He won’t care for you, nor the child. Don’t be so hopelessly deluded.”
