Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 329: She had grown up without parents, without family. The idea of having a child had never felt real to her-had never even crossed her mind.

But now… if she really was expecting, would it be a boy or a girl?

A soft smile tugged at her lips.

She had always longed for a warm, complete family. Could that dream really be unfolding so soon? Time crawled by. Just as Collin was about to call Dominic for the third time, the door swung open, and the man strode in, his voice edged with urgency. "What happened? Is someone hurt?"

Dominic's mind jumped to the worst-had something happened to Linsey?

But that didn't seem likely. If she were in serious danger, Collin wouldn't still be sitting there. He would have already abandoned the wheelchair and carried her to the hospital himself.

Dominic ran through every worst-case scenario as he stepped into the living room. His gaze landed on Linsey, seated on the sofa with Collin right beside her, their hands tightly intertwined.

They looked tense. But at first glance, nothing seemed obviously wrong.

His frown deepened.

"Why did you call me here?" He shot Collin a questioning look before turning to Linsey. "You look fine-healthy, even. You're not sick, are you?"

Collin didn't take his eyes off her. "She felt sick at dinner. Josh suspects it might be morning sickness, so I need you to confirm if she's pregnant."

"Pregnant?" Dominic blinked in surprise. "Did you even get a pregnancy test?"

Collin's expression darkened. "A pregnancy test?"

That reaction told Dominic everything he needed to know. He exhaled sharply, rubbing his temples. "You two really know how to make things difficult. Dragging me all the way here without even checking first-unbelievable."

Linsey opened her mouth, then shut it. What was she even supposed to say to that?

Linsey had never dealt with something like this before. The thought hadn't even crossed her mind.

A little flustered, she forced a small smile. "I'll have someone pick one up right away."

"No need. I'm pretty sure I have one here." Dominic was already digging through his medical kit. A moment later, he pulled out a pregnancy test. "Good thing it's not expired. Here, take it."

Linsey hesitated as she took it, nerves creeping up her spine. Her eyes flickered to Collin, uncertainty clouding her expression. "I'll… I'll go now," she murmured.

"Go ahead," Collin said softly, reaching out to gently squeeze Linsey's hand, trying to offer comfort.

Linsey nodded, clutching the pregnancy test as she made her way to the bathroom. As Collin's gaze followed her, Dominic pressed his lips together, sensing the tension. He tried to reassure him. "Alright, we won't know anything until she takes the test. Just relax."

Collin, however, couldn't tear his eyes away. After a moment, he took a deep breath, his voice low and filled with concern. "I'm just worried about Linsey's health."

Time seemed to stretch on. One minute passed, then another. Unable to stand the waiting, Collin wheeled himself to the bathroom door and knocked softly, his brow furrowed. Why was it taking so long? Had something gone wrong?
