"Emily!" Matteo Vinci's voice cracked with panic as he caught her just before she collapsed. His arms tightened around her, pulling her close as his heart raced with fear. His worried gaze swept over her pale face, and without a second thought, he scooped her into his arms and stormed out of the hotel. The whispers and stares of the crowd meant nothing to him; his only concern was getting his wife the care she desperately needed. Behind him, his family followed, guilt flickering across their faces. Carter took care of the hotel bill while Matteo's mother and sister-in-law trailed behind Andrew, who was unwilling to leave his son alone in such a state. Though they didn't like Emily, they couldn't stand seeing Matteo so distraught. Emily stirred awake, her eyelids fluttering as the rhythmic beeping of machines and the sharp scent of disinfectant greeted her senses. Confusion clouded her thoughts as she scanned the stark white hospital room, piecing together where she was. Slowly, realization dawned- she was in a hospital. Her eyes searched the room, stopping when they landed on Matteo seated by her bedside. His face was pale with worry, but his eyes shone with relief as he leaned forward, taking her hand in his. "Mon amour," he murmured, his voice trembling with emotion. "Thank God you're awake." "What happened to me?" Emily asked, her voice weak and laced with confusion. "You fainted, ma douce," Matteo replied gently, his thumb brushing over her cheek. "How are you feeling now?" he asked, signaling the nurse to fetch the doctor. Emily's eyes wandered across the room, noticing Matteo's family standing nearby. Their presence made her feel uncomfortable, a faint blush creeping onto her cheeks. "I'm feeling fine. We can go home now," she insisted. "Wait until the doctor examines you properly. They've already taken your blood for tests, and the results will be out soon," Matteo reassured Emily, his voice calm yet laced with concern. The door opened, and the doctor entered with a nurse following closely behind. Matteo rose from his seat beside the bed, stepping aside to allow the doctor to examine his wife. "How are you feeling, Mrs. Vinci?" the doctor asked gently, checking Emily's pulse before using his stethoscope to listen to her heartbeat. He leaned closer, lightly pulling down the skin below her eyes to examine her more closely. "I'm feeling fine now," Emily replied softly, though her tone carried a hint of lingering unease. The doctor nodded thoughtfully. "That's good to hear. Have you experienced any nausea or dizziness in the mornings lately?" "Not really," Emily answered, her brows furrowing. "Why? Is something wrong, doctor?" she asked, worry and suspicion creeping into her voice as he continued his examination. "Nothing is wrong, Mrs. Vinci," the doctor said, a warm smile spreading across his face as he glanced at Matteo. "It's wonderful news. Congratulations're pregnant." Matt Hath Motton and ImiluwannAnielll shifted into an endiant smile filled with love and amazement as he turned to look at Emily. But Emily's reaction was far from joyful- her face remained clouded with doubt. "That's not possible, doctor," she murmured, her voice tinged with disbelief and a trace of sadness. "After my miscarriage, I was told I couldn't conceive again." "Miracles do happen, Mrs. Vinci, and medical science acknowledges them," the doctor said reassuringly. "Your previous scans did show uterine damage, but it appears to have healed significantly-likely due to your healthy lifestyle and care. This is a remarkable development." Emily's shoulders visibly relaxed as a flicker of relief replaced her earlier tension. "I would, however, recommend taking precautions moving forward," the doctor added. "I'm referring your case to a highly skilled OB-GYN for specialized care. Wishing you all the best, Mr. and Mrs. Vinci." With a final encouraging smile, the doctor left the room, leaving the couple to process the news. Matteo rushed to Emily's side as he noticed tears welling up in her eyes. He cupped her face in his large palms, his hands gently brushing away the stray droplets. "Mon amour, what's wrong?" he asked, his voice tender yet full of concern. "I can't believe the universe would be so kind to me," Emily murmured, her hand instinctively moving to her stomach. Her voice wavered as she added, "To bless me with something I thought I could never have." Matteo's heart swelled with emotion as he kissed her forehead. "You're an angel, ma belle. Of course, God had to bless you with your miracle," he said, his voice steady and warm. He leaned in, kissing her forehead softly. "But no more tears-only smiles and positive thoughts from now on." Matteo's gaze then shifted to his family, who were watching the scene with guilt-ridden expressions. His gaze sharpened as he addressed them. "And no more negativity. If anyone can't see my wife happy, then they have no place in our life." Matteo's mother stepped forward, her face earnest and filled with remorse. "I'm sorry, Matteo, and I'm sorry, Emily. Please forgive me," she said, her voice breaking slightly. "I shouldn't have said the things I did. But now, knowing you're carrying our family's heir, I promise to do everything I can to support you. Emily, I'll give you the world at your feet," she added with a genuine smile. Matteo's father nodded, stepping closer. "Matteo, Emily, we've made mistakes, but this child... this is a new beginning for all of us. Please give us a chance to prove we can care for you and your family. Emily, we'll never make you cry again," he pleaded earnestly. Matteo's brother and sister-in-law joined them, their faces softened by sincerity. "Matteo, no matter what, we are family," his brother said. "We've had our differences, but this baby is the light we've all been waiting for. Let us share in this joy and support you both." Mera, his sister-in-law, added, "Emily, we only want the best for you and your child. This baby isn't just your hope- it's ours too." Matteo and Emily exchanged glances, both struggling to process how quickly people could change. It felt sudden and insincere, but this was a moment of joy for them, and they didn't want to ruin it. Matteo sighed deeply and looked at his family with a firm expression. "This is your last chance," he said, his voice steady yet edged with warning. "And trust me, if I find Emily crying because of any of you again, I'll cut all ties. No excuses." "It will never happen," his mother assured him, stepping forward with a genuine softness as she gently caressed Emily's head. "From now on, I'll take care of you as if you were my daughter, sweetie. You don't have to worry about a thing- just focus on being happy and keeping our grandbaby healthy." Emily managed a small smile, though her thoughts were conflicted. She couldn't ignore the feeling that their change of heart was driven more by selfish motives than genuine affection. They were thrilled about the Vinci heir she was carrying, but at least they had finally come around to accepting her. Matteo noticed the smile on her face and let out a quiet sigh of relief. Her happiness was all that mattered to him. Without caring that his family stood watching, he leaned in and kissed her deeply. "I love you, mon amour," Matteo whispered, peering deep into her sparkling blue eyes with all the love and sincerity in his heart. "You are the best thing that's ever happened to me." Emily smiled, looking at him as her eyes filled with love and pride. In that moment, Matteo felt as though he had conquered the entire world-because he had her.
