The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone)

Ayla was a little surprised when the middle-aged woman from the other bed in the ward came to her.

"What you're eating is not nutritious enough for you and your baby.Have some chicken soup."

The middle- aged woman put a bowl of chicken soup in front of her.  Ayla lowered her gaze, looked at the steaming chicken soup, and said, "No, thanks.It's okay.I'm just fine."

"Just drink it.You have to eat well for the sake of your baby.But you can't do that if you only rely on the food here.Small hospitals like this don't actually serve good meals.Anyway, I've cooked a lot, and my daughter-in- law can't drink it all.So just drink this, okay?"

the woman said with a smile.  With a faint smile on her face, Ayla picked up the bowl and said, "Thank you."

"Are you alone? Why is there no one here to take care of you?" the woman then asked curiously.

"Yes, I'm just alone," 

Ayla replied with a nod.She was alone now.But in the future, she had a child to accompany her.

"Poor girl! But don't worry.Starting tomorrow, I'll make more soup for you.The first trimester of pregnancy is the most crucial stage.You have to pay more attention to your body and health."

The middle-aged woman might also have her own daughter, so she felt sorry and distressed when she saw that Ayla was alone.

Jaime had searched all the hotels and hospitals in the city, but he really couldn't find Ayla.  Brian was not worried at all.

He believed that she couldn't hide from him for the rest of her life.  Ayla had already run out of cash, but she still couldn't get out of bed.

In the end, she had left with no choice, so she turned her phone on and called Toby.  

"Lala? Where are you?" Toby was so worried.

He knew that something happened to Ayla because Jaime came to him two days ago.

"Toby, I'm in the hospital."

She told Toby the name and the address of the hospital.

Toby immediately bought some tonics and supplements and went to the hospital as fast as he could, "Why didn't you call me sooner? Have you been alone here all the while?"

He looked at Ayla in disbelief.

The hospital was so small, and the ward was crowded.

"I...I'm sorry..."

As much as possible, she didn't want to bother him.

But she was forced to do so because of her current situation.

"Silly girl.Why are you apologizing to me? What do you want to eat? I'll go out and buy it for you."

Toby felt so sorry to see the sadness on Ayla's face.She looked so pale and pitiful too.

"I don't want to eat anything now.I just want to sleep.I feel so tired and sleepy."

She felt more at ease now, knowing that Toby was by her side.  "Okay, take a rest now.I'll just stay here with you,"

Toby said while pulling the quilt for her.

He couldn't just leave her here like this.
