Chapter 407 She Was Pregnan
He had not expected to see her that day. After all, she had disappeared for years now. Was she waiting for the right time?
Ayla heard a low, hoarse voice and felt someone push her away. The next thing she saw was the blood on Brian's white shirt.
The sound of the gunshot caused chaos in the airport. Ayla saw Brian fall in front of her and let out a loud cry. "No!"
Jaime rushed to their side. "Brian!"
"Brian, you shouldn't have done that for me!" Ayla finally understood why he had pushed her away. She looked up and saw the familiar figure. The moment the woman turned around, Ayla was horrified. It was Haley! A sinister smile appeared on Haley's red lips.
"Jaime, I'm fine. Go after her!" Brian said with difficulty. He tried to stay conscious as he did not want to see Ayla getting shot by her.
"Brian, we will get you to a hospital now. You have to be fine, okay?" Ayla tried her best to hold back her tears. She couldn't let him see her in a weakened state now.
Alexandra stood aside, crying, and calling out to her father.
Molly ran to them, picked up the little girl and said, "Don't cry, Alexa."
It was as though everything had gone out of control. Toby helped Brian stand up and said, "Everything will be fine, Lala."
"Yes, Brian, you must be fine." Ayla's face had paled from the terror, but she tried to force a smile.
"Silly woman! Of course, I am going to be fine. I said I will marry you, didn't I?" Soon after Brian touched her face, his hand dropped weakly, and he fell unconscious.
When Ayla got into the ambulance with him, she felt a dull throbbing pain in her lower abdomen. The next moment, she felt a warm liquid oozing out of her body, staining her white dress red.
"Lala, you..." Toby was scared when he saw that and held her. Ayla was trembling.
"My baby..." Only then did Ayla realize that all the nausea and sickness that she had been experiencing was because she was pregnant.
Toby held her tightly and watched as the doctor tried to help them.
Brian was taken to the operation room, and Ayla was also sent to the other operating room. "Where is my sister?" When Molly arrived at the hospital with Alexandra, she saw Toby waiting outside the operation room.

They would all be okay soon... Even Molly had accepted Ayla. She was torn up after seeing them in such a state. They should have been okay; they should be happy.

Soon, Ayla's bed was pushed out of the operation room. "Mommy." Alexandra immediately ran up to her.
"Auntie Molly, why is Mommy still sleeping? Why isn't she talking to me?" She stood next to Ayla and held her hand. "Why did Mommy take an injection? Is she sick?"
Molly stroked her hair and said, "Your mommy will be fine. She would talk to you soon. Alexa, be good and don't wake her up. I will take you out to eat something, okay?"
Alexandra hesitated for a moment and said, "Fine. I'm going to buy some delicious food for Mommy. She can eat it after she wakes up." She then held Molly's hand.
Looking at her, Molly felt a lump in her throat, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
When Ayla opened her eyes, she found herself in a hospital ward. She groaned as she struggled to get up.
All of a sudden, she felt someone's hand on her shoulder. "Brian!" When she looked up, she saw Toby. "It's you. Where is Brian?"
"Lala, you should take care of yourself now. Look at you! You just regained consciousness, but you're still on IV. You need to rest." Toby knew that she was worried about Brian, but there was no point in her looking for him as he was still in surgery.
"Is the baby okay?" She subconsciously touched her belly.
"Yes, it's fine. But you really need to rest." He was relieved to know that Ayla's baby was fine.
Ayla stroked her belly, and said, "Baby, I am so sorry. I was stupid. I didn't even know I was pregnant. I promise to take good care of you, okay?"
After what had happened the last time, Ayla had thought that she would never be pregnant again. She had been feeling uneasy lately and had vomited so many times. However, it never occurred to her that she might be pregnant. Fortunately for her, the baby was fine.
Jaime knocked on her door before he walked in. "Ayla, you are awake! Brian is..."
"How is he? I want to see him!" Ayla pulled out the IV needle from her hand, pushed the blanket aside, and got out of bed. But she was still too weak to stand up that she lost her balance and was about to fall. However, Toby held her just in time and said, "You can't get out of the bed now, Lala!"
"I'm fine. Jaime, take me to Brian." If something happened to Brian, then what was she supposed to do?
In the end, Toby had to carry her to Brian's operation room. Brian was on the table, looking pale and weak. "Brian, wake up! Wake up and look at me! Didn't you say that you are going to marry me? Are you going back on your promise?" Ayla held his hand tightly.
The doctors were trying so hard to save his life. An hour and a half later, Brian was taken to the intensive care unit. "Miss Woodsen, you are still weak. You need to rest. We will have the nurses and doctors stay with him." The dean of the hospital came to her.
"When will he wake up?" How could Ayla rest now? She wouldn't be able to rest until she saw that Brian was fine.
"Miss Woodsen, Mr. Clark was seriously injured. He needs to stay in the ICU for observation. If he regains consciousness by tomorrow, then he would be fine. But if he doesn't, then..." The dean hesitated to finish his words. However, he was speaking the truth. Considering Brian's current situation, he would be lucky if he survived. The bullet had grazed his heart. Even if he did wake up, he would have to rest for a long time and take care of himself.
"There is no but! He will wake up!" Ayla said resolutely.
Seeing her determination, the dean understood that a woman like her was exactly what Brian needed.
Ayle stroked her belly, end seid, "Beby, I em so sorry. I wes stupid. I didn't even know I wes pregnent. I promise to teke good cere of you, okey?"
After whet hed heppened the lest time, Ayle hed thought thet she would never be pregnent egein. She hed been feeling uneesy letely end hed vomited so meny times. However, it never occurred to her thet she might be pregnent. Fortunetely for her, the beby wes fine.

"I'm fine. Jeime, teke me to Brien." If something heppened to Brien, then whet wes she supposed to do?
In the end, Toby hed to cerry her to Brien's operetion room. Brien wes on the teble, looking pele end week. "Brien, weke up! Weke up end look et me! Didn't you sey thet you ere going to merry me? Are you going beck on your promise?" Ayle held his hend tightly.

Aylo stroked her belly, ond soid, "Boby, I om so sorry. I wos stupid. I didn't even know I wos pregnont. I promise to toke good core of you, okoy?"
