Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! Chapter 56 I don’t fucking care…

VICTORIA’S POV

The familiar beeping sound of the machine and the smell of pure medicine hit my sensitive nose. My pregnancy made me too sensitive to the facts. Without a second thought, my hand find its way to my belly. Is it fine?

I am not feeling any discomfort or pain. I guess it’s fine. Well, most of the credit goes to him—the man who saved me.

I rushed to open my eyes only to close them immediately after.

“It’s okay,” I heard an unfamiliar female tone. “Try to open your eyes slowly.”

Taking her advice, I fluttered my lashes and finally opened my eyes.

At that moment, I had one thought – the appearance of that familiar figure who had come to rescue me once again. However, as soon as I opened my eyes, I felt a sudden switch-off, as if I had lost something deep inside.

And then only I realized I was excited to know it was him. But unfortunately for me, it was Jayden standing beside the doctor, watching me with concern in his eyes.

So, it was him? I thought I was wrong. But…

“Victoria…” The sound of the tone that reached my ear instantly caught my attention, causing me to turn my head to the left quickly. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of that familiar figure.

Alessandro. He is here. It was him who saved me!

I blinked with fear that he would disappear, but he didn’t. He was still standing on the spot and watching me.

Never before have I been so disgusted with my own reaction. Why do I have to act this way while he’s around? Why do I have to expect him with me when I need him even after knowing he is not mine?

Why do I have to be so weak? I can’t even blame this on my pregnancy because I have always been weak over this man.

I looked into those blue eyes; they were half concerned and half shocked over some matter.

“Oh, my God! How did this happen?” Daniel rushed inside my room with his hands filled with shopping bags, letting them all go before coming to me.

“I am fine,” I said in a dry tone as I tried to sit up with the assistance of Maria and the doctor.

The doctor was an English woman, so she spoke in English. “Thank God that you are saved before you hit the ground. Be careful next time, especially because of your baby, okay?”

I nodded and caressed my belly. “How is the baby?”

“Although everything seems normal, I suggest you go for a check-up tomorrow. It would be advisable to bring your baby’s father with you.”

Her words once again made my heart skip with an unknown nervousness. My baby’s father? Even though he is here, I don’t know how to react at this point. The situation is too awkward for me.

“Don’t worry, doctor, she won’t be alone,” Jayden spoke up confidently, and although I wasn’t sure what the doctor inferred from his words, she smiled and nodded.

“Then I will take my leave.” With that, she stood up, and Daniel went to see her off.

“Are you feeling okay now?” Jayden asked. Occasionally, his gaze shifted from me to Alessandro, and I could sense his unease. I couldn’t blame him, considering the sudden turn of events.

“I am fine. Can I get some water, please?”

Maria handed me a glass of water, and after drinking it, she took the glass away.

“Victoria…” I heard his voice again. And when I looked at him, there was something strange in those ocean-blue eyes. His gaze was accusing, and I knew what his thoughts were.

I turned to the other people in the room. “Can I get some privacy? There’s something I need to discuss with him.”

Even though I never planned to let him know but at this point, he deserved to know that this baby was also his. However, that did not imply that I would let him exploit the situation. He has his life and priorities set, and he proved it after letting Camilla out.

No one in the room wanted to leave me alone with Alessandro, but they didn’t dare to go against my decision and walked out before closing the door behind them.

Jayden was the last to exit the room, glancing at Alessandro before saying, “I’m just a call away if you need anything,” and closing the door behind him.

“Why are you here?” That is the first question that has occurred to me since I learned about his presence.

Seated at the edge of the bed and facing me, Alessandro maintained his gaze on me while he spoke, “That’s not important anymore. I only have one question, Victoria.”

“And what is that?” I asked while trying to control my tone, but It came out way too harsh, even to my ears.

However, that didn’t seem to affect him as his eyes trailed down to my belly. As his accusatory eyes said it all, I could already anticipate the inevitable question. Still, I stayed quiet and waited for him to speak.

“Is this baby mine?” he asked. He sounded tired, but there was an urgency in his tone, indicating impatience. Despite this, he managed to maintain his composure.

“What if it is? And what if it’s not, Alessandro? What can you even do?” I shook my head. “Nothing, Alessandro. So, this is not important anymore.”

The words left me with so much irritation and complaint. I knew I had no right to complain about such a thing when he never belonged to me. Still, a part of me is adamant about not accepting the harsh truth even after years of torture.

His eyes came to mine once again. “You are right. That doesn’t matter anymore, nor do I fucking care at this point.” He paused for a second.

“I don’t fucking care if this baby is mine or not. Having you, Victoria is the only thing that matters to me. I want you back again in my life as my wife, just like it was in the past.”
