All Chapters of Falling For My Husband's Doctor: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

The knock on the door was soft.Almost polite.But the moment Lydia heard it, every ounce of color drained from her face.Her stomach dropped.No.No.No.She had been expecting him.She had sent the message.She knew this was the plan.Yet now that the moment had arrived, panic gripped her completely.Across the room, Eva frowned."Lydia?"Lydia couldn't answer.The knock came again.Three gentle taps.Her hands began to shake.Eva immediately noticed."What is it?"Still no answer."Lydia?"Slowly, Lydia rose from the couch.Her legs felt weak.Like they might give out beneath her.Every step toward the door felt heavier than the last.Her breathing became shallow.Fast.God.What had she done?When she finally reached the door, her hand hovered over the handle.For one brief second, she considered not opening it.Pretending nobody was home.Pretending she wasn't there.But it was too late for that.Far too late.With trembling fingers, she unlocked the door.And opened it.The mome

The police station was a whirlwind of activity.Phones rang constantly.Officers moved back and forth through the corridors.Questions were being asked from every direction.Reports were being written.Statements were being taken.And at the center of it all sat Adrian Cole.Handcuffed.Silent.Dangerously calm.Officer David stood across from him inside the interrogation room, studying him carefully.Adrian leaned back in his chair.Almost relaxed.As if he wasn't facing charges that could destroy the rest of his life.As if he hadn't just been arrested after weeks of evading police.His confidence irritated everyone.Especially because he wasn't saying much."I want my lawyer."That had become his favorite sentence.Every question.Every accusation.Every piece of evidence.The response remained the same."I want my lawyer."Meanwhile, several rooms away...Eva sat wrapped in a blanket.A female officer had given it to her shortly after arriving.The station felt safer than Adrian's

Lydia sat motionless on the edge of her couch, her hands resting protectively over her stomach.Pregnant.The word still felt unreal.Everything about her life felt unreal.Just weeks ago, she had been worried about her sister's wellbeing.Now she doubt if Eva even regarded her as a sister.A tear slid down her cheek.She quickly wiped it away.The guilt never seemed to leave anymore.It followed her everywhere.Into her sleep.Into her thoughts.Into every quiet moment.Her phone suddenly rang.The screen lit up.Daniel.Lydia's chest tightened instantly.She stared at his name for several seconds before answering."Hello?"His voice came through immediately.Low.Tired.Broken."Lydia."Something about the way he said her name made her stomach twist."What happened?" she asked.She already knew.Deep down, she knew.There was only one reason he would be calling her now.A long silence followed.Then—"Eva left."Lydia closed her eyes.The words hurt more than she expected."Oh."Dan

The courtroom felt suffocating.Every seat was occupied.Every eye was fixed on the unfolding drama.And at the center of it all sat Eva and Adrian.Two people whose versions of the truth couldn't have been more different.Eva's hands remained tightly clasped in her lap as her lawyer rose from her seat.Mrs. Reynolds adjusted her glasses before approaching the witness stand where Adrian sat.Confident.Relaxed.Almost comfortable.It infuriated Eva.The man should have been terrified.Instead, he looked like he was attending a business meeting."Dr. Cole," Mrs. Reynolds began.Adrian offered a polite smile."Good morning."The lawyer ignored the greeting."Did you or did you not transport Eva Mitchell to a remote property without informing her husband or family?"Adrian folded his hands calmly."No."A murmur spread through the courtroom.Mrs. Reynolds remained unfazed."No?""No."His voice never wavered."Eva came with me willingly."Eva felt anger immediately flare inside her.Will

The courtroom was silent.Every eye remained fixed on Adrian's lawyer.The question hanging in the air felt enormous.Why did Adrian run?Why flee the hospital if he was innocent?Why disappear for days?Why avoid the police?Even Adrian himself seemed interested in hearing how his lawyer would answer.The defense attorney adjusted his jacket calmly before stepping forward."Your Honor," he began smoothly, "the answer is actually quite simple."Eva immediately hated the confidence in his voice.The man sounded like he had rehearsed this explanation a hundred times."My client did, in fact, lie to the police initially."A ripple spread through the courtroom.Daniel frowned.Officer David exchanged a glance with Officer Kareem from the gallery.Even Mrs. Reynolds seemed surprised by the admission.The lawyer continued."But the reason matters."He walked slowly before the jury."At that time, Dr. Cole and Mrs. Mitchell were involved in an affair."The words made Eva's stomach twist agai
