Alpha’s Regret Pregnant Rejected Luna

Chapter 67

As they sat down for a meal later that day, Hazel gently broached the topic that had been lingering in

her thoughts. “Baby, you won’t mind staying alone or visiting Loulou at her ward while I go to work, and

Liam goes to school, right?” she inquired, her concern for Daisy’s well–being evident in her eyes.

Daisy, with her innocent pout, contemplated the proposal ‘Okay” she agreed, her eyes lighting up with

hope at the prospect of her anticipated visit from Mr. Princess. Hazel acknowledged her daughter’s

response with a relieved sigh, recognizing that this arrangement would be beneficial for both of them. It

was a decision made out of necessity. she had been absent from work for several days already. She

couldn’t continue to take her colleagues for granted, she had a responsibility to them as well.

“Good,” Hazel affirmed, relieved Daisy didn’t mind the arrangement. Though the separation tugged at

her instincts, she understood that maintaining a sense of normalcy, even within. the confines of the

hospital, was crucial for Daisy’s well–being. Hazel couldn’t suppress a twinge of worry, but she

reassured herself that this was a step towards resuming their routines and bringing a touch of normality

to their lives amid the hospital’s sterile environment.

After gently settling Daisy in her ward. Ethan made his way to the hospital parking lot, where Axel

patiently awaited his return. There was a subtle satisfaction in Ethan’s demeanor, a silent

acknowledgment of the positive turn of events. Axel, perceptive as ever, couldn’t help but sense that

their visits to the hospital were poised to become more regular.

As they embarked on the drive back to the office, the car became a cocoon of contemplative silence.

The hum of the engine was accompanied by the soft rustle of paperwork scattered across the back

seat. Ethan’s mind, undoubtedly, was navigating through the possibilities and challenges of the newly

proposed school clinic, a venture that had seamlessly integrated itself into his responsibilities.

Ethan stepped out of the car as they arrived at the company’s building. The sleek glass facade of the

building reflected the bustling city around them. Axel, however, had another destination in mind, the

mall. His damaged phone from the previous night’s encounter necessitated a swift replacement.

“Get the copies of the Chevron deed. It’s with Bella; you can retrieve it on your trip to the mall, Ethan

instructed, his tone carrying the weight of impending tasks. Bella’s office, strategically located near the

mall, made it convenient for Axel to accomplish this errand. Axel nodded in acknowledgment. With a

calm and purposeful demeanor, he drove off towards the mall.

Axel exited the electronics store, having successfully acquired a new phone, the document was very

important and it was to be delivered to him by Bella himself. He has

communicated with her and she mentioned meeting a friend there and told him to wait for

her.

Strolling towards the mall entrance, Axel found himself at the center of a bustling crowd. In the midst of This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

the human flow, a woman emerged from the opposite direction, her hurried pace suggesting urgency.

In an unexpected collision, she bumped headfirst into Axel. The encounter halted both of them

momentarily. Axel, with his usual composed demeanor, extended a hand to steady her. “Are you

alright?” he inquired, concern flickering in his eyes. The woman, slightly flustered, mumbled an

apology.

As Jasmine groaned and looked up, Axel’s features contorted from annoyance to shock. then settled

into a puzzled expression. “You again?!” he muttered, his displeasure evident. “Hi, Jasmine replied

awkwardly also in shock. Of all people at the mall she just happened to bump into him.

The mall, owned by Ethan, was strategically located in the heart of the city, surrounded by towering

corporate buildings. Among these structures was the company where Jasmine worked.

The two familiar strangers stood there in a momentary pause. Jasmine’s l*ps parted several times,

attempting to convey words, but each time she hesitated, unable to vocalize her thoughts. Finally, she

closed her l*ps, her gaze fixed on Axel’s face. She noticed the small cuts, covered with bandages, and

a twinge of guilt flickered in her eyes. Apologizing felt necessary, yet she was overwhelmed by where

to begin..

With the conversation at a standstill, Axel decided to move off, heading toward the mall entrance to

retrieve the deed Ethan had instructed him to collect. Jasmine, still lingering, observed him,

contemplating the significance of their unexpected meeting.

“You’re at the mall,” she stated, breaking the silence and trying to initiate a conversation. Axel, without

turning back, replied coldly. “I came to change my phone. After someone ruined it. The tone in his voice

made Jasmine flinch; the weight of responsibility for the damaged phone weighed heavily on her.

“It was an accident. I really didn’t mean… Jasmine began her apology, but before she could finish, a

cool voice interrupted. A woman sauntered over to where Axel stood.

Jasmine felt a sudden freeze coursing through her as she recognized the woman approaching Axel. It

couldn’t be, she thought, attempting to reconcile the present with a figure from her past. It had been

years, but she could swear she knew the person walking toward Axel.

Her eyes widened in a mix of familiarity and doubt. Could it truly be her?

The woman walked past Jasmine, seemingly oblivious to her presence, and headed straight for

Axel.Doubt crept in, and Jasmine began to question herself. Maybe it was just a striking resemblance.

Jasmine staggered away, her mind grappling with the possibility of a mistaken identity. There was no

flicker of recognition from Bella’s side, no acknowledgment. The encounter left Jasmine shaken.

Bella, engrossed in her own thoughts and tasks, remained oblivious to Jasmine’s presence. As she

exited the store after passing the documents to Axel, she idly watched Jasmine’s departing figure. A

flicker of recognition tugged at the edges of her consciousness. Where had she seen that girl before?

Bella furrowed her brows, attempting to place the familiarity of Jasmine’s features, especially from the

back.

Where have I seen that girl before?” Bella wondered, trying to place the face. The nagging feeling of

familiarity lingered as she attempted to recall the context in which she might have encountered

Jasmine. However, the bustling mall environment and her own busy schedule made it challenging to

pinpoint the connection.

Axel, having successfully collected the deed, turned around to find the girl who had bumped into him

earlier. Scanning the area, he couldn’t locate her, leaving only a bunch of keys on the floor as a trace of

her presence. Connecting the dots, Axel surmised that these keys must have sl*pped from her

possession during their unexpected collision.

Releasing a heavy sigh, Axel couldn’t shake off the irritation caused by her apparent lack of

awareness. Not only did she exhibit an eccentric demeanor, but she was also clumsy

Determined to return the keys and perhaps gain some clarity about the bizarre situation. Axel strode

purposefully towards the exit of the mall doors.

As he stepped into the open air. his eyes scanned the surroundings, and there, he spotted her–her

back turned, walking away at a slow pace. Axel, with a sense of exasperation. quickened his steps to

catch up with her and return the misplaced keys

Axel called out to her multiple times, but she remained unresponsive, lost in her own thoughts.

Reacting on instinct, he gently seized her wrist, breaking through the trance that seemed to have

enveloped her. Her eyes, wide with shock and daze, met his concerned

gaze.

“Are you alright?” he inquired, his brows furrowed with genuine concern. Her sudden departure after

encountering Bella had been peculiar, and Axel couldn’t help but wonder about the source of her

apparent distress. The encounter with Bella had clearly unsettled her way she with the way she had

reacted, freezing in place as if confronted by an unexpected ghost from the past.

Jasmine’s gaze flickered with a mix of fear and disbelief as she uttered. That woman,” Axel. perceptive

to her unease, recognized she was referring to Bella.

“What about her? Do you know her?” Axel questioned, observing the evident distress in Jasmine’s

demeanor. There was something unsettling about the recognition that had dawned upon her.

“I… don’t know,” Jasmine replied, her voice laced with confusion. The woman seemed both familiar and

elusive, leaving her in a state of bewilderment.

Suddenly, she clutched Axel’s arm, her fingers digging into his wrist. “She’s evil Dangerous. Do you

have any business with her?” she urgently inquired, her eyes reflecting a mixture of fear and urgency.
