My Great Escape Led Me to You novel Chapter 84

Isabella Austin’s only real fear was that Emily Blair might mean more to Andrew Lane than she herself ever could.

Lost in these anxious thoughts, a sudden wave of nausea twisted her stomach, rising sharply until it caught in her throat. She barely managed to stifle a gag, pressing one hand over her mouth and the other to her abdomen, doubling over as she dry-heaved.

The car was too quiet; every sound she made echoed in the silence.

Emily Blair and Andrew’s assistant both reacted instantly, their expressions shifting.

Emily’s eyes darted to the rearview mirror, searching for the source of the noise.

She saw Isabella, hand clamped over her mouth, panic etched across her flushed, tear-bright eyes as she turned helplessly to Andrew.

“Andrew…”

Andrew’s brow twitched, his gaze sharpening. Gone was the careless posture; he straightened in his seat, clasping his hands together, dark eyes fixed on Isabella.

His voice was low, steady. “Are you pregnant?”

A flush crept across Isabella’s cheeks, embarrassment and worry flickering in her gaze. She nodded shyly, biting her lip. “I’m not sure yet. I need to get checked at the hospital.”

Andrew’s eyes grew darker. “How long since your last period?”

She looked away, voice barely above a whisper. “Two months.”

Oblivious to the others, Andrew pressed, “So, was it that night?”

Isabella clenched her hands, head bowed, and nodded again.

Carefully, she watched Andrew’s expression, then reached out, tentative. “Andrew, I’m scared.”

He watched her for a moment before finally extending his left hand, taking hers in his warm, steady grip.

“Don’t be afraid.”

There was a calm certainty in his deep voice, the kind of strength that made promises feel real.
