Chapter 6 - handsome stranger

" Maria pov "

I sat at the edge of the hospital bed, as I let the words of the doctor sink into my head

" am very sorry mam but you lost the baby".

My dad was sentenced to life in prison, my mum is mentally challenged, and on top of it all I just lost my baby.

" I was still drowning in my own thoughts when suddenly the hospital room opened".

And there he was Ethan, standing by the door with no emotion in his eyes.

Making it harder for me to figure out why he was there, did he find out about the baby.

Ethan pov

I guess your wondering why am here?.

You see I too am wondering what am doing here, when clearly you were supposed to meet me at the hotel five hours ago.

Strolling towards her I raised my hands in an attempt to check her temperature, but instead she shifted back.

I may be a lot of things, and I may do a lot of things but I certainly do not hit women.

I don't even know why am here, last night I got a call form an investigator I asked to tail her around that she was rushed to the hospital.

And I thought maybe she had an heart attack over me winning the case yesterday.

"Get out ", I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up her face to see her glaring hard at me, it was as if I could see the hatred in her eyes for me.

Well any way not that I cared.

I can't believe he had the guts to show himself here, although I would say my heart kind off skiped a beat seeing him so close to me.

But still I had to control myself.

Few minutes after ye left, Zain walked in,

Zain was a child hood friend of mine and he had always been there for me,

" ironically he wasn't there at the time I needed him most by my side in court.
