Betrayed Fiance Becomes Billionaire Boss, Ex Wants Him Back

Chapter 5

Mr. Logan called again to tell her he'd arrived at the hospital. Maelie had barely stepped to the door to go receive him as he reached. A sharp cramp, low in her stomach began. It started low but before she knew it felt like she was being torn apart.

She pressed her hand against her abdomen. “What's this?” She hadn't felt this kind of pain before. 

She rushed and sat on the edge of the couch, waiting for the pain to go. It didn’t. She called Nevan who was attending to some official proceedings with Cara. He picked. Her cries sent him panicking and rushing back to her office. 

The pain was now spreading to her right side.

“What’s wrong? What’s it?” Nevan panicked as he banged into her office. Seeing her struggling in pain and tears, he pulled out his phone and called one of the hospital’s best gynaecologists. 

Caiden came to the minds of both of them. 

Maelie blinked away with conflicted emotions. Nevan guessed through. They didn't want anything to do with a fake, broke man. His presence would irritate Maelie after he almost raised her high blood thinking something happened to her dad. 

“Yes, he’s gone. So no need to talk about him.” Maelie groaned. 

“Call Dr. Rhys Owens instead while we wait for Dr. Mark to arrive.” She begged. 

“Bring her to the ward,” Dr. Owens said when Nevan called. Nevan didn’t waste any time. He bent and scooped her over, rushing her to his office. 

The tests started right away when Nevan arrived with her. Blood work. Ultrasound. Another ultrasound. Then the wait.

Dr. Owens came back into the room with two other doctors behind him. Their faces were stern. Composed. The kind of expression that doctors rehearsed so patients didn’t panic before the words arrived.

“Ms. Logan,” Dr. Owens said slowly. “The results are…..unusual.”

Maelie looked at him, saying in agony. “Tell me.”

“You have two concurrent pregnancies.”

The room suddenly went dead silent.

Maelie blinked. “I don’t understand.”

Dr. Owens sat beside her. “One embryo is inside the uterus. That one appears to be developing normally. But there is a second embryo. And it has implanted in your right fallopian tube.”

“A second one? What caused all of these? From the doctor who treated my fertility issue?” 

“Yes.” Nevan snapped. “That asshole Caiden must have messed with your body.” 

“Don’t say that about our best doctor. Our ex-best.” Dr. Owens scolded Nevan. “He did the unbelievable by getting her fertile. All doctors rejected her, saying she couldn’t get pregnant.” 

Maelie went mute. 

“Ma’am.” The doctor asked. “You’ve been fighting infertility for years, did you go through your doctor’s personal guidance before getting pregnant?” 

Maelie’s heart stopped. Nevan dropped to the couch, speechless. 

As her body responded to Caiden’s treatment, she had ignored the remaining medication and tips believing they were no longer of use. 

She shook her head, sadly. “No.” 

“Your negligence caused this. This is called a heterotopic pregnancy. It is extremely rare. One in thirty thousand cases.” 

Nevan stood helpless, frustration made him call Mr. Logan. “Sir, I believe you're around. Your daughter has been diagnosed with heterotopic pregnancy.” 

“Urghh?” Mr. Logan first paused, not knowing what to say. 

Nevan explained with guilt. He had encouraged Maelie not to take Caiden’s medication any further. 

“The intrauterine pregnancy is viable. But the ectopic one…ma’am, the tube is under significant stress. If it ruptures, internal hemorrhage can follow within minutes. It is life-threatening.” The doctor said amidst Nevan's  call on speaker mode with Mr.Logan who ran into high panic. 

Maelie’s world blurred. 

“But sadly……” Dr. Rhys took a pause longer than normal before exhaling briefly. “We’re sorry, we can’t handle such a case. That’s why Dr. Caiden existed to take care of special cases but sadly you kicked him out.”

“He had submitted his resignation a few hours ago and left the hospital vicinity.” Maelie grunted amidst the pain. 

“It wasn’t me who directly asked him to leave. I just suggested……” 

“Why?” Her dad's voice rushed into Maelie's ear, loud and hoarse. 

Maelie went mute wondering why he reacted so fast. She couldn’t tell the real reason without revealing the scandal to the doctors before, once they knew, the news would spread. So she kept quiet. 

Maelie never knew something would happen and she will need Caide's services again. 

Dr. Rhys broke into her thoughts. 

“Finding Dr. Caiden will take a relatively long time and the longer we wait, the higher the risk. We should assemble a surgical team. But ma’am, we need to contact your next of kin. Your dad or Mr. Nevan? This surgery carries significant risk, including to the viable pregnancy, so the need to sign.”

Maelie’s hands were trembling now. Her face had turned white with lack of blood. Something that just started and became serious all of a sudden was indeed fatal. She didn’t want to die.

“Have your men reached Dr. Caiden?” She asked Nevan. “He has to be brought here.” She said as order, even in the midst of her pains. 

Maelie and Nevan couldn’t imagine they would stoop so low for someone they wanted to deal with. However this was a life and death situation, and even if  the fake impersonator was the one to save her, they would allow him. 

The surgical team had been fully assembled. Mr. Logan arrived at the ward. He walked with his men, all in black suits.

“Maelie.” His voice broke on the single word.

He rushed to her in three quick steps from the door and took her face in both his hands, looking with tearful eyes the way a father with an only child could. 

Dr. Owens stepped forward and explained the situation in full. “We have a surgical team here. We will try our best although we aren’t the very best to handle this task,” he said. “Not even Dr. Mark.” 

Logan’s jaw was tight. His eyes kept moving back to Maelie.

When Dr. Owens finished, he asked one question.

“Where's the best doctor for this surgery? Someone who will successfully operate on my daughter and she comes out of the theatre alive.”

There was a long silence among the doctors.

Maelie answered. “Dr. Caiden,” she said quietly.

“The one you told me was handling your treatment?” Logan asked. 

“Yes. He is the best gynecologist in this hospital.” Condition made her spill the truth without effort. 

“Everyone knows that.” Nevan said dismissively. 

“Where is he at the moment?” Logan asked desperately. 

“Why didn’t you call him? Someone who handled her infertility to this stage should definitely be able to handle this.” 

Dr. Owens hesitated. “Dr. Howard no longer works here.”

“I made him resign.” Maelie murmured. 

“What? Why?” Logan asked, confused yet angry. “So you were serious?” His eyes darkened with anger. “Why would you do that?” 

“He's just a doctor, after all. If not for this  case, who would bother about him?” Nevan grumbled, self-justifying. 

“And who told you he's just a doctor? For such a doctor?” 

Nevan nodded vigorously. “I'd already sent out my men to pick him though.” 

He was forced to try out Caiden’s number again. “Sorry, the number you’re trying to call is currently switched off.” It said. He'd been blocked. Panic rose against his chest. 

“It’s not going, who knows if he threw the Sim away? That means my men may not be able to call him.” He complained to Logan but Logan’s deep, bloodshot eyes sent him a quick idea on what to do next. 

Nevan then called his chief security officer. Cybersecurity unit. 

“Here is his email, use in the tracking. His line isn't going. Bring him here by all means.” Nevan gave the order. 

“Let him treat Maelie, we can deal with him later!” He grumbled beneath his chest. 

“We give him the mockery he deserves for raising our blood pressure high,” Nevan grumbled inside of me. 

He wouldn't let Caiden go especially after Dr. Mark called to confirm he was using a fake card.
