I Loved You in the Dark Until Someone Loved Me in the Light novel Chapter 2

Gillian collected her emotions, quickly freshened up, and arrived at the hospital in no time.

The moment she stepped through the doors of the obstetrics department, her barely pieced-together composure shattered all over again.

She saw York carrying Hailey in his arms, rushing toward the examination room. The man's face was etched with panic and concern as he comforted her along the way. "Don't be afraid, Hailey. I'm right here."

His voice was incredibly gentle—an emotion she had never witnessed, a kind word she had never once heard from York's lips.

The scene was blindingly painful, like a knife twisting in her heart. Knowing he loved Hailey was one thing, but seeing it with her own eyes was entirely different.

Her arms hung by her sides, fists clenched so tightly her nails dug into her palms, yet she didn't feel a sliver of physical pain.

Gillian wanted to take a step forward, but her limbs felt as heavy as lead.

"Dr. Jordan, you're here! Why are you just standing there?" A colleague spotted Gillian and hurried over, quickly briefing her on the situation. "The pregnant patient took a fall and reported some bleeding, so the pregnancy is unstable. The main issue is she has congenital heart disease and is allergic to several medications, which limits our options. It's a very complicated case."

As she explained, the colleague pulled Gillian toward the examination room. "Her husband looks incredibly anxious and his expression is terrifying. He specifically demanded the best doctor in our hospital. I was terrified he'd threaten to bury us all if we couldn't save the baby."

Gillian's complexion was poor. Hearing those words, a dense swarm of bitter and ironic emotions crept into her heart. Husband? Whose husband was he, exactly?

Perhaps the unloved one was the true mistress.

She pushed open the door to the examination room and saw York's gaze fixated on Hailey's face, his eyes swirling with an indescribable tenderness and heartache.

"I understand the general situation." Wearing her white coat, Gillian ignored York and walked straight toward Hailey.

When York saw Gillian enter, his expression remained perfectly calm. He didn't even bat an eyelid, showing not a hint of embarrassment at being caught red-handed.

Gillian thought to herself that let alone Hailey, even she was starting to doubt if she was actually his wife.
