The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 1008

Back home from the hospital, Danielle fell into bed, but her sleep was fitful, filled with fragmented dreams.

Sometimes, it was Niki hugging her leg, asking, “Mommy, why couldn’t the baby stay?”

Other times, she saw the blinding lights of an operating table, or Alexander watching her from a distance, his expression complicated, never once stepping closer.

When she woke in the morning, her pillow was damp, her forehead slick with cold sweat. A heavy, suffocating weight seemed to be pressing on her chest.

After quickly washing up, Danielle left with her medical file. Today, she had to go to the hospital for the final physical examination.

If all her levels were normal, the termination procedure would be scheduled at a hospital in Northridge City, saving her a trip out of town.

The hospital corridor reeked of antiseptic. Danielle was looking down at her newly printed test results, heading briskly toward the doctor’s office.

As she rounded a corner, she walked straight into a solid chest, and the papers in her hand scattered across the floor with a rustle.

“Sorry,” Danielle apologized instinctively, squatting down to pick up the forms. But the moment her fingers touched the paper, she froze.

The top sheet clearly read: ‘Pre-operative Examination for First-Trimester Termination.’

She looked up and met a pair of deep, dark eyes.

Alexander stood before her, dressed in a black suit with a loosened tie. A hint of exhaustion lined his brow; he must have just come from a patient’s room, likely to visit the hospitalized Lorie Gaylord.

His gaze fell to the scattered papers on the floor, and his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly as he bent down to help her pick them up.
