The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal novel Chapter 39

Chapter 24: Claire’s POV

I wake up in a hospital bed. I look over and see Jordan is sitting in the chair beside me holding my hand. I give his hand a squeeze.

“Thank you.” It comes out as just a rasp.

“Claire, you’re awake! Are you okay?” He gets up frantically, holding my hand in his and looks at me with concern.

“My baby.” I say as I remember seeing blood. My whole body aches but none of that mattered at this moment.

“I’ll go get the doctor. I wasn’t allowed to be in the room until just a few minutes ago.” I watch as Jordan runs out and call for a nurse, letting her know I was awake. Jordan comes back in and grabs my hand again.

“I found your husband’s phone number and left a voicemail. I’m sure he’ll be here soon and the nurse is going to get your doctor.” I slowly bring my hand to caress his cheek.

“Thank you.” I say between tears.

“It’s okay, Claire. Don’t cry. You know I’d do anything for you.” He says as he wipes my tears.

“How did you find me?”

“Well you were in the warehouse district and that’s where we store excess materials, test structural pieces and make our large 3D models. Why were you there?” He asks quietly.

“Someone paid a guy kidnap me and – and kill my baby.” I begin sobbing uncontrollably, holding my hands over my face. I feel arms around my shoulders.

“I’m so sorry, Claire. We’ll find out whoever did this. I promise.” Jordan held me as I sobbed. Moments later, the doctor comes in and I try to compose myself.

I answer quietly “hello?”

“Claire, where the hell are you? I have a voicemail from Jordan saying you got hurt?!” He sounds panicked.

“I’m at the hospital.” I say in a deadpan voice. He

wasn’t to be bothered when I needed him most.

When our baby was still alive.

“I’m coming now! Don’t move a muscle. I’ll be there soon. I love you.” He hangs up and I lay back down on my side – sobbing.
