Mr. Remington Got Me Pregnant novel Chapter 25

Landon’s POV

Hospitals feel like hell when you’re stuck in the waiting room, powerless.

The lights above me buzzed in that low, constant way that made my head ache. The chair was stiff, like it was designed to keep anyone from getting too comfortable.

My leg kept bouncing, out of sync with the ticking clock on the wall. I hadn’t moved in over an hour.

“Please keep them safe,” I muttered under my breath, my hands clenched together.

Every few minutes, I’d glance down the hallway, waiting for someone in scrubs to show up with news. Anything to break the silence.

When a nurse finally appeared, clipboard in hand, I stood before she even looked in my direction.

“She’s stable,” the nurse said gently. “For now.”

“And the baby?” I asked. My throat tightened around the words.

She hesitated. Not long, but long enough. “The heartbeat is weak… but it’s there.” I exhaled sharply, not sure if it was relief or fear clawing its way through me.

“She was panicking,” the nurse added, softer this time. “She thought you were gone for good. She kept asking for you.”

Those words landed like a punch to the gut. I looked away and nodded, my chest burning with guilt. I walked out of the waiting area without saying anything else.

Down the stairwell, across the hospital parking lot, until I found a shadowed corner where no one could see me fall apart.

The second the door shut behind me, I hit the wall with my fist. Then again. The third time split my knuckles wide open, blood streaking down my hand like a brand of shame.

“I should’ve protected her,” I muttered, holding my wrist as it throbbed. “I let them near her. I let them twist the truth. And I wasn’t there.”

My phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out, ignoring the pain. It was Drew, my assistant. I answered immediately.

“Where are they?” I asked.

“Remingtons landed three days ago,” he said. “Chartered flight. Lady Remington, Marian, and a few others. They’re staying in the private estate. No press coverage, but I had someone track it.”

“Did Marian fly in from there?”

“No, she came in separately. Landed yesterday morning. Same airline we used last month. I pulled the airport footage, and she went straight to a driver. The car was rented under a company your mother’s been using for years.”
