Trapped with My Billionaire Ex-Husband

Chapter 38 BLAIRE As the world spun, my grip on consciousness wavered. Alexander’s voice became distant echoes, and the cab’s rhythmic hum melded into an indistinct melody. The pain in my arms, once sharp and searing, transformed into a dull throb, fading into the background of my disoriented senses. When I regained some semblance of awareness, I found myself in a hospital bed, the sterile white surroundings a stark contrast to the vibrant chaos of the gala. Alexander sat nearby, a mix of concern and relief etched on his face. “Easy there,” he said gently. “You passed out for a bit. The doctors said it might be a combination of stress and the pain from your injuries.” I tried to piece together the fragments of my consciousness. It seems like the medication is starting to wear off. The pain started to crawl into my b*dy once again as I remembered what happened last night. “Sebastian…” I uttered his name without thinking. Alexander leaned in, his gaze filled with a mix of understanding and resolve. “We’ll handle this, Blaire. For now, let’s concentrate on getting you well. The doctors will be here soon for another checkup.” “I appreciate your assistance, Alexander. I didn’t intend to spoil your evening,” I apologized. “Spoiled? You’ve turned my dull night into something thrilling. It’s not every day you get to experience such drama,” he quipped, attempting to lighten up the mood. I mustered a smile, grateful for the help and support I got from a stranger. We were in the midst of our conversation when the doctor entered my room. “Good evening, Miss Banks. How are you feeling?” the doctor inquired. “I’m a bit dizzy, doc, but better than I was a while ago,” I replied. The doctor proceeded to examine my injuries and assess the severity of the cuts. As he tended to my wounds, Alexander stood by, his presence a reassuring anchor in the midst of the medical procedures. “You’ll need some stitches, but nothing too serious. We’ll make sure you’re comfortable,” the doctor assured me. While tending to my injuries, he paused and looked at me with a subtle change in

expression. “Miss Banks, there’s something else I need to discuss with you. During the examination, we ran a routine test, and it seems you’re pregnant.” 1/5 Chapter 38 My eyes widened in surprise, and for a moment, the room seemed to fall silent. The revelation hung in the air, mingling with the echoes of the earlier chaos. The news of my pregnancy added another layer of complexity to the already tangled web of emotions and relationships. “Pregnant?” I repeated, my voice barely a whisper. The doctor nodded. “Oh, so I figure you’re not aware of it. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to ruin the surprise,” he said as he looked at Alexander, who was watching us intently, He probably assumes that Alexander is my husband.

The doctor’s attempt at humor fell flat in the gravity of the situation. I exchanged a brief glance with Alexander, whose expression shifted from curiosity to understanding. “I wasn’t aware,” I finally admitted, my mind racing to comprehend the implications of this unexpected news. “Well, despite your current situation right now, it’s still good news, isn’t it?” he commented, I mustered a smile, not letting him notice my discomfort. As he left the room, Alexander spoke up with a thoughtful expression, Pregnancy adds another layer to everything, doesn’t it?” I blew a loud sigh. “It does,” I answered. “I know it isn’t my place to ask, but I will ask anyway. Do you plan to tell him?” he asked. I looked at Alexander, contemplating his question. The weight of the revelation, combined with the complexity of my relationship with Sebastian, made the decision far from straightforward. “I honestly don’t know,” I admitted, a sense of vulnerability lingering in my voice. “It’s not just about me anymore, and figuring out what to do in my situation needs a lot of consideration.” Alexander nodded, understanding the intricacies of the situation. “Take your time, Blaire. Whatever you decide, make sure it’s what’s best for you and the little one on the way.” NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“Thank you, Alex.” “You’re welcome. Do you feel better? Would you like to stay here in the hospital for the night or do you want me to bring you home? I already paid for it. So might as well used it,” he joked. I chuckled, appreciating the lighthearted moment amid the gravity of my 2/5 09:11 Mon, 22 Jan Chapter 38 circumstances. It wasn’t a bad idea given my current situation. I needed some time to think of what I need to do next. I think a night for myself away from Sebastian is a pretty good idea. “I think I’ll take your suggestion and stay for night.” “That’s great! Would you like me to stay here with you?” he asked. “I think you’ve already done more than enough, Alexander. I don’t want to be more nuance. I’m sure you have more than important place to be than here at the hospital.” “Nah! I think I’d stay. I have someone at home that I’m trying to stay away from,” he said as he sat comfortably on the couch. It’s the only time that I get to get a good look at the sp ac ious hospital room that Alexander got for me. I feel like I’m in a hotel rather than a hospital.

watching the TV. My attention was focused on the TV when we heard a loud sound coming from my bag. Judging by the sound coming from my bag, I assume it was my phone. “Would you like me to get it for you?” he asked. I’m still a little bit dizzy, and my arms still hurt, so I appreciate him doing that for me. I’m sorry.” I quickly apologize, as he tends to do everything for me. “No sweat,” he said, smiling as he walked towards my purse. I reached inside my bag and got my phone.

I don’t think he still has anything to say that I haven’t heard tonight,” I said as I hung up the phone.

You understand him better than I do.” “I’ll be dam ned if you know him better than I do,” I replied, shaking my head and enjoying the comfort brought by my new-found friend, Alexander.

How are you feeling today?” He asked, placing the coffee on the bedside table. “Better, I guess. The doctors say I should be ready to leave soon,” I replied, offering at faint smile.

“That’s good to hear. And, um, about last night-the pregnancy revelation and everything. How are you holding up?” Alexander inquired with genuine concern. I sighed, grappling with the complexities of my situation. “It’s a lot to take in, but I appreciate your support, Alexander. It helps more than you know.” He nodded understandingly. “Take your time, Blaire. Decisions like these aren’t easy!” As the day unfolded, a nurse checked in, followed by a visit from the doctor, whose. words blended medical guidance with the challenges of my personal life. “Miss Banks, your recovery is progressing well, but we need to discuss your post- hospital plans,” the doctor explained. “Post-hospital plans?” I repeated, uncertainty tingling my voice. “Yes, considering the circumstances and your health, it’s essential to have yourself checked by an OB- GYN as soon as you can,” the doctor clarified. 4/5 Chaper 31 Alexander, sitting nearby, chimed in, “If you need any assistance or a place to stay, you know you can count on me.
