บททั้งหมดของ Rebirth for you: Redeeming the husband I betrayed : บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Sophie I looked him over quickly, worry tightening painfully inside my chest. Something was wrong. It was nothing physically, at least not from what I could immediately see, but something about him felt off. Before I could even ask another question, Cassio suddenly stepped forward and pulled me back into his arms. It was more like he was trying to silence me. But now, I could smell something metallic mixed with his natural scent. My brows slowly furrowed, and then realization hits. My eyes widened immediately. I pulled back from him quickly, my hands pressing against his chest as I looked at him properly again. There was blood on him. Not just on his knuckles. It was on his shirt too. Dark stains against the black fabric. I couldn't see it before because of the dark material. Cassio watched my expression carefully before giving me a crooked little smile that looked more exhausted than amused. “Are you injured?” I asked immediately. He shook his head.“It is

SophieI barely had time to gasp before Cassio kissed me.One second he was looking at me with that dangerous heat in his eyes, and the next his mouth was on mine, stealing every coherent thought from my head instantly.I let out a startled laugh against his lips before he swallowed the sound completely.Goodness!There was something unfair about the way this man kissed.It was like he put too much intensity into it. Too much possession.One of his hands slid into my hair while the other tightened around my waist, pulling me fully against him until I was practically on top of him. “Cassio....”“Mm?”The bastard sounded entirely too pleased with himself.I narrowed my eyes slightly.“You pounced on me.”A low chuckle escaped him before he kissed the corner of my mouth lazily.“You like when I pounce on you.”Heat flooded my cheeks immediately. The annoying thing was that he wasn't wrong.Before I could think of a comeback, he kissed me again. The kiss was slower this time but deeper.

SophieBy the time we arrived at work that morning, I had already convinced myself that the dizziness wasn't a big deal.I was tired, stressed and over worked. That is all. Maybe Slightly sleep deprived too because my husband looked too good shirtless and apparently believed sleep was optional whenever we were in bed together.Completely understandable reasons. Anyone who had seen the man naked would understand my plight. So I pushed the strange feeling away and focused on work instead.Which was exactly what I had been doing for the past hour before Emmy suddenly narrowed her eyes at me from across her desk.“You look weird.”I looked up from my laptop immediately.“Wow. You're so sweet.”“No seriously.” She frowned harder. “You look pale.”I blinked slightly.Again with the pale comments. First Cassio, now her. Was I actually looking that bad? I didn't really notice it myself but if the two people closest to me are seeing it then it must be true. Emmy tilted her head suspicious

SophieI hated hospitals.The moment Cassio's car pulled into the parking lot the next morning, my stomach already felt tight with anxiety.The building itself wasn't even ugly. It was one of those ridiculously expensive private hospitals with shiny glass walls, polished floors, and workers that looked too calm to work in health care. Hospitals still reminded me too much of my mother.The smell. The machines. The terrifying helplessness.I stared out the window quietly while my fingers twisted together nervously in my lap.Cassio seemed to have noticed because his hand slid over mine slowly, stopping my restless movements before they could get worse.“Hey.” I looked at him.His expression softened slightly. “It's going to be okay.”I tried to smile weakly, but I don't think it was very convincing.Because the truth was that I wasn't even fully sure why I was panicking this much.Nothing was wrong. I wasn't sick. The baby wasn't sick.We were literally just here for a checkup.Still,

SophieI don't know how long I slept before my phone ringing dragged me awake again.A groan escaped me immediately. Whoever invented phone calls deserved jail time.Especially against pregnant women.Still half asleep, I reached blindly toward the bedside table until my fingers finally found my phone.My eyes squinted at the screen.Emmy.I answered while sounding half dead.“Hello?”“Sophie?”I hummed tiredly.“Oh my God,” Emmy laughed lightly. “You sound terrible.”“Thank you.”“That wasn't a compliment.”I shifted deeper into the pillows while rubbing tiredly at my eyes.“What happened? The boss came earlier saying you weren't feeling well and that you'd be staying home for the rest of the week.”Of course Cassio already handled it. The overprotective menace would of course get things done immediately.“I think I caught a flu,” I lied easily. “I'll be fine.”There was a pause. Then Emmy sighed dramatically.“Lucky. If I got sick, they'd still drag me to work half-conscious.”I snort
