Chapter 249
Viviana was forced to take a few steps back due to how loud Xavier was.
She had come to the hotel after overhearing Anastasia’s call with Xavier earlier, her plan clear: seduce him and tear apart Anastasia’s family, just as Anastasia had done to hers. But now, caught before even stepping foot into the room, fear gripped her. Her mind raced as she realized she had no idea what would happen next.
“I-I didn’t do anything, I promise. I only c-came here because…I she stuttered, unable to find the right words to use to complete her sentence.
“You’re starting to piss me off,” Anastasia yelled, rage evident in her expression as she glared hard at Viviana who was internally wishing time would just rewind and Anastasia wasn’t present at the moment.
The hotel was a huge one, and people were walking on the floor they were on, stealing glances at the scene but didn’t dare to stop to watch since Xavier Wallace was involved.
“Get out of here now!” Anastasia demanded, already feeling out of breath which was new.
Viviana sucked in her rage and regret, most especially her rage since Anastasia had to pop out of nowhere and ruin her plans.
“Don’t touch me!” Viviana tried to yank her wrist from the bodyguards, but it was to no avail.
Swiftly, they pooled her away.
Anastasia heaved a huge amount of air as she watched Viviana leave her presence with the bodyguards, her heart thumping hard in her chest.
All of a sudden, the urge to throw up surfaced again.
Quickly, she rushed inside the bedroom and headed for the bathroom then threw her guts out into the basin, surprising Xavier.
Gently, he pulled her hair away so it wouldn’t soak in her vomit.
“You’ve been looking sick for the past few days now. We need to go to the hospital,” he said, his voice sounding gentle and demanding at the same time.
Anastasia shook her head.
“It’s just stress. My workload just increased since I resumed acting. I’ll be fine.” She tried to force a smile, but it came out weak and unconvincing.
“We’re going to the hospital. Now p>
Anastasia tried to blink her eyes open but they suddenly turned heavy.
“Xavier She breathed, collapsing on his chest and he caught her swiftly.
“Ana!! Ana!!” Xavier called out to her, but she didn’t open her eyes.
Curing under his breath, he quickly gathered her in his arms and rushed out of the room, barking out orders to the bodyguards who’d already arrived after getting rid of Viviana.
At the hospital,
Anastasia fluttered her eyes open, only to be met with the blinding glare of bright lights shining directly on her face. Squinting in discomfort, she quickly closed her eyes again, letting them adjust to the harsh brightness before slowly opening them once more, her vision gradually becoming clearer.
After adjusting, she searched for the one person that came to her mind, only to find him on the couch opposite her, an unreadable expression plastered on his face.
“Xavier… What’s wrong? What am I doing at the hospital?” She asked as he stood up and settled on the seat next to the hospital bed.
Xavier reached for her locks that came over her face and gently moved them away, his fingers gently caressing her cheeks without answering her question.
“You scared me earlier,” he said, releasing a sigh of relief which only confused her further.
Before she could part her lips to repeat her question, the door pushed open with Tracie and a female doctor coming inside.
“Mr. Wallace. It’s a good thing you’re awake now,” the doctor said as Tracie came to her other side, holding her left palm gently as if she were some delicate piece of art that needed to be held with care.
Anastasia turned to Tracie, an eyebrow cocked in question as she stared at the latter’s pleasant face—her lips stretching further into her cheeks as her eyes turned into a crescent moon.
Anastasia stared at Xavier, and his face seemed to glow.
“What’s wrong doc?” Anastasia asked this time with worry evident in her tone since she had no idea why her husband and sister were smiling as if she was some kind of treasure.
“I ran a test on you when your husband here explained the symptoms you’ve been getting for the past few days. And well, congrats Mrs. Wallace, you’re pregnant p>
Anastasia choked on her saliva when she heard the doctor which led her to coughing roughly.
Xavier quickly brought some water to her side and helped her drink it, patting her back gently.
“You should be careful,” he scolded.
Anastasia drank the water to her fill before she faced the doctor again.
“One more time please p>
“You’re pregnant p>
“Can you pinch me so I can be sure I’m not dreaming?” She asked, facing Tracie this time around.
“Come on. This is good news and you want to joke around. You’re pregnant sis, you’re carrying me baby niece or nephew p>
Anastasia turned to Xavier, a smile stretching on her face, her blue eyes meeting his dark ones and for a second there, she felt as if the time had stopped.
Xavier placed his hands on her belly. “We’ll have a little Anastasia soon p>
A string of tears fell from her eyes, running through her cheeks before they dropped onto the bed, extreme happiness filling her chest she didn’t know it was possible to experience.
After finding her true family, getting everything that had once belonged to her, and getting rid of her enemies, Anastasia thought that was the highest level of happiness for her.
But now Now, there was a living human inside of her, growing until one day she could finally see the face.
She placed a hand on her belly, her hand covering Xavier’s.
“I’m pregnant p>
She wrapped her hands around his and buried her face in his shoulder as tears of happiness flowed from her eyes uncontrollably.
The doctor sensed the couple would need some alone time. So, she decided to come back later.
Tracie followed behind her, giving them the privacy they needed.
