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

Ayla had been lying in bed for hours, but she wasn't getting better.Her face was so pale now that it made her look lifeless.

Beads of sweat streamed down her forehead as the pain got worse.Maria touched Ayla's forehead, and her eyes widened in shock.

"Mrs.Clark, we have to go to the hospital."

Ayla struggled to prop herself up and get out of the bed.

But as soon as her feet touched the floor, she fell down and lost her consciousness.

Maria screamed in fear.

Brian was in the study talking with someone on the phone.

When he heard the noise, he rushed to Ayla's room.

"What's going on here?"

There was a clear hint of displeasure in his cold voice.

"Mr.Clark, Mrs.Clark fainted."

Maria was panic- stricken.She looked at him, not knowing what to do.

"Tell Lyle to take her to the hospital."

He then turned around and left.

When Ayla regained her consciousness, she was already lying on the hospital bed.

"You're finally awake.How are you? Are you feeling better now?" asked the doctor standing beside her bed.

"Doctor, what happened to me?"

She could still feel pain in her lower abdomen.

"You are pregnant.The first trimester is the most crucial stage of pregnancy, so it is not advisable for women to have sex.Fortunately, you and the baby are safe now.Next time you come to the hospital for your prenatal care checkup, ask your husband to come with you," the doctor replied.

Ayla was so shocked that she stared at the doctor incredulously.Was this some kind of a joke? How could she get pregnant? She was taking contraceptives regularly.

"I'm pregnant? Doctor, are you really sure about that? There must be a mistake."

She still didn't want to believe it, so she had to reconfirm it to the doctor.

The doctor shook his head.

"No, we can't be wrong.You are indeed six weeks pregnant.Here's the result of your pregnancy test."

The doctor handed her a piece of paper.

Ayla stared at it for a long time, her eyes wide and mouth agape.

The doctor wasn't kidding.

She was really pregnant.

Her bleeding last night might be because the baby in her belly was hurt.

The doctor's words and the document in her hand were proof that she was really pregnant.

Then she remembered Brian.

He was a man who never took others into account when he had sex with her.He could surely hurt the baby.

Her head was in a mess.
