The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 90

Zach froze, staring at the figure weaving through the crowd. There was something familiar about them, stirring a memory he couldn’t quite place. Before he could move closer, Tara grabbed his wrist, holding him back.

“Zach, my stomach really hurts all of a sudden. Do you think it’s because I got scared earlier?”

Zach looked down at Tara, noticing how she was hunched over, her face tight with worry.

He glanced once more at the receding figure in the crowd, frustration pulling at his brow, then turned and gently supported Tara. “Let’s get you to the hospital.”

The emergency room was all harsh white lights and the sharp smell of antiseptic.

Sebastian got the hospital’s call just as he was ending a meeting. Ignoring the annoyed looks from the board, he rushed out. He arrived breathless, just in time to see Leslie waiting outside the ER doors.

“What are you doing here?” he asked, scanning her face and then the doors behind her.

Leslie gave a small smile. “Maybe I should be asking you that?”

“There was a car accident…”

“You’re okay, right? You’re not hurt?”

She watched him quickly look her over, anxious. “Are you hurt anywhere?”

Leslie caught the worry in his eyes and brushed her hair behind her ear. “No, not me. I just happened to be there. Someone fainted and I couldn’t just leave, so I followed them to the hospital.”

“Then why are you at the hospital? Are you feeling sick?”

“No, I just...”

Before she could finish, a nurse came out, helping Reese walk through the doors.

“Family for Reese?”

Sebastian stepped forward. “I’m here.”

Reese looked pale, a piece of gauze stuck to her forehead.

Leslie’s eyes widened in surprise. She glanced at Sebastian, then at Reese, her gaze lingering on Reese’s stomach. It was flat—no sign of pregnancy at all.
