Mr. Remington Got Me Pregnant novel Chapter 28

Emery’s POV

I thought I was about to lose the one thing I could truly call mine. My baby. The only reason I keep going. The only light in a world that’s been mostly dark.

Thankfully, the baby was safe. In a few days, we would finally be ready to go home. Landon hadn’t left my side since I got here, but somehow, even with him nearby, we were back at square one.

He still brought me groceries, tried to help whenever he could, but I didn’t even look at him. I ignored every word, every attempt to get close.

I didn’t want to stress my baby again. I wasn’t going to lose the baby again, not because of him. Staged or not, Marian’s plan had worked, she had hurt me.

And because of that, I was scared to be near Landon.

But he was patient. He never left, not once, even as my labor grew closer. I stayed in the hospital, waiting for the baby to come.

He brought every meal to my bedside, even the bland ones I refused to eat. Every twenty minutes, he adjusted my pillows like it was the most important thing in the world. When I tried to sit up, he was always there, rushing to help.

Sometimes I pushed his hands away.

“Landon, I’ve got this,” I said one morning, struggling to sit up on my own.

He stepped back with his hands raised. “Just trying to help.”

“Well, don’t,” I snapped, surprising both of us.

He didn’t take it personally. He just nodded and went to pour water into my cup, setting it carefully on the table beside me. But I could feel the weight of him staying, of him not giving up. He never once made me feel like a burden.

Even when I acted like one.

One night, I had to pee but didn’t want to bother the nurse. I swung my legs slowly over the bed, trying to hide the pain spreading across my back.

“I’ll help,” Landon said softly from the chair beside me. He’d been watching the whole time.

“I said I’ve got it.”

“Emery, you’re barely-”

“I said leave!” I shouted. My voice echoed against the hospital walls.

His face froze. He didn’t argue. He just stood up.
