Chapter 48 Ectopic Pregnancy
We needed to find a way to expose Kaden’s true nature to Natale. The longer we delayed, the worse it would be.
“Let’s just tell her directly. It will be devastating at first, but it’s better than being deceived indefinitely,” Jean said boldly, as she always did. Even if it meant losing their friendship, she was determined to do it
After thinking it over, it seemed like the best approach. Olivia and exchanged glances, silently serving.
We spent a long time discussing Natalie’s situation. It wasn’t until midnight that Jean and olivia left. Since I slept a lot in the afremoon, I was wide awake and decided to watch a movie.
As I watched, I remembered the phone call from Ashley to Rowan earlier that day. On a whim, I opened instagram and looked at Benjamin’s Instagram story.
Although Ashley and I were friends, I didn’t have her Instagram ID–only Benjamin’s. Thept up with their situation through his updates. Benjamin loved posting about Achley, flaunting her to the world.
Benjamin’s profile picture had changed. It was initially a picture of him and Ashley. But now, it was a photo of a basketball star with the caption, “I wasn’t good enough” besides that, he hadn’t posted anything new in days.
I couldn’t help but sigh. Their pure campus love had fallen apart under the pressure of the harsh realities of the world.
1 sent Benjamin a message. “Benjamin, are you still awake?”
After a long time, he replied, “Yes”
1 asked, “How’s it going with you and Ashley? Why did you change your profile picture?”
Benjamin replied quickly this time. “Ms. Sadler, we broken”

This was no different from my previous life. Even with my interference, I couldn’t slow down their breakup. It seemed that no outsider could stop two people from falling in or out of love.
Ashley probably called Rowan today for comfort. Or perhaps it was about her neighborhood’s demolition project. I couldn’t think of any other reason
I started to comfort Benjamin and arranged to meet him for a meal in the coming days. He agreed and then said he was going to sleep.
ished him, “Good night.” And Benjamin replied, “Good night, Ms. Sadler,”
Starting that night, Rowan didn’t come home for a week I didn’t askerthink too much about it. I was focused on solving Natalie’s issue with Jean and Olivia
We feared that Natalie might be swayed by Kaden alter knowing the truth. After all, he had always treated herwell, and their relationship was strong. If Raden admitted his mistake and asked for forgiveness, Natalie might accept it..
sa, Jean found an excuse to bring Natalie to her place where olivia and I were waiting
“What are you guys up to?” Natalie looked puzzled as she saw us surrounding her with serious faces.
“Nat, you know that there are plenty of fish in the sea, right?” Jean started.
Natalie was battled, “Of course, but what are you trying to say?”
I said, “Nat. We’re your best friends and are like sisters. Do you trust us? No matter what happens, we’ll always support you
Olive nodded. “Yes, we would never hurt you.”
Natalie’s expression changed as she realized something bad was about to happen. But she forced a smile and said, “What are you talking about? of course, I know
In’t hann me. You’re my closest friends.”
Jean and exchanged glances. I took out my phone, opened the video, and showed it to Natalie. She watched intently as her face tumed pale.
“Nat..“I felt apang of guilt, The truth was ugly, shartering her dreams of a happy marriage.
Natalie stood up suddenly and looked at us with her mouth open. Before she could speak, she tainted, Jean quickly caught Natalie and exclaimed, “Narl”
Half an hour later, I drove while Jean and Olivia held Natalie in the back seat. We hurried to the hospital without delay. After a long wait, the doctor told us that Natalie had a slight rupture from an ectopic pregnancy. The baby couldn’t be saved or it would endanger her life.
Jean contacted Natalie’s parents to rush to the hospital. They then signed for the surgery as Jean explained the whole situation.
“That Bastard“” Nicholas Reed shouted as his hands trembled with anger.
“Nat must not marry him!” Emily johnson exclaimed. Her eyes were red with anger and sorrow as she cled.
I held her hand and comforted her. “Emily, Nat and Kaden haven’t registered their marriage yet. There’s still time. This ectopic pregnancy is a blessing in disguise,
swing her from a worse fate.
“Don’t worry. We’ll handle this and make sure you’re satisfied. But please don’t confront Kadenfor now.” Letting him off so easily would be too land.
Nicholas agreed to our request. When Natalie was wheeled out of surgery, we crowded around to see how she was doing
Her face was pale with her eyes closed. She was still unresponsive. The doctor said the anesthesia hadn’t worn off yet, but she would wake up soon.
Lasked jean and Olivia to accompany Emily home to make some chicken soup. Then, I reassited Nicholas he could go to work without worry. Meanwhile, I stayed by Natalie’s side, waiting focher to wake up
“Nal, are you awake?” A while Later, Natale woke up. I quicly poured her a cup of warm water and said, “Here; drink some water.”
Natalie looked at me. She looked tired. I thought she might blame me for exposing Kaden’s affair to Jean and the others, making her embarrassed. But she weakly took my hand and said, “try, thank you. Otherwise, I would’ve continued being deceived”
I was taken aback and felt like crying at that moment. I put down the cup and held her hand, contorting her, “Nat, just get through this phase, and everything will

Natalie touched her stomach with the other hand as a tear rolled down her cheek. “Yes. Maybe the baby knew that I might endure this situation if it came into this world. So, it chose to leave me
