Chapter 2837: Chapter 2836

Chapter 2836

The two locked in an embrace. Their eyes were brimming with unshed tears.

“Thank you, Imogen. Do you have any idea how thrilled I am?” Francis whispered an

emotional voice.

Imogen'’s eyes mirrored the sentiment. “We finally have a child of our own, Francis. Our little miracle

that we've waited for so long.”

Regina watched them coldly from her bed. Even Madeline, caught up in the moment, hugged her

mother tightly. “Mom, Dad, pretty soon we'll welcome our little brother. The Tanner family will be

more complete.”

Suddenly, Francis pulled back, as if struck by a new thought. Wiping away a rogue tear from such an

expected surprise, he said with a smile, “Or maybe a little sister. Boy or girl, I'll treasure them just the

same.”

Imogen nodded, her eyes wet with joy. “Our precious little one.”

But the trio had forgotten Regina, lying there sick.

Francis got carried away in his excitement without his eldest daughter in his mind.

Imogen and Madeline, of course, deliberately excluded her. When the family huddled

together, Madeline threw a glance at Regina that seemed to say, “Look! This is what a real family

looks like.”

Unbeknownst to them, Regina had grown past the stage of crying for her father's attention years

ago.

A sudden gasp from Regina broke the moment. “Ah-" She grimaced in pain, Francis to turn his

attention to his eldest.

“What's wrong? Dizzy again? I told you not to get up so fast. Lie back down; yo weak. Once the

house is ready, I'll come to get you.”

Despite her pallor, Regina managed a weak smile. “Dad, I haven't congratulated y new life you're

about to welcome.”

Francis felt a twinge of guilt. “No matter how many children I have, you'll always be precious

firstborn.”

Regina nodded. “Dad, I'd like to rest a bit more. Why don't you accompany Imogen for checkup? At

her age, having a baby isn't child's play.”

The words struck a chord with Francis. “You're right. We can't take any risk with Imoge age. When

we get home, I'll have the family doctor stay with us to look after her. But you're ill now, so please

don't worry about anyone else. Rest, and we won't disturb you further.”

Chapter 2836

With a final pat on Regina's head, Francis left with Imogen and Madeline, leaving Regina alone in

the quiet of her room, a respite from her stepmother and stepsister's presence. She knew her father

had always wanted a son. It was surprising that Imogen, after all these years, was pregnant at last.

Regina's gaze fell to her phone as she sent a message to Nolan. She needed to understand what

had happened that day.

Nolan's call came swiftly, as if he had been waiting for her messag

Regina didn’t know what to say after the incident happened, and Nolan too spoke nothing. Silence

stretched between them on the line.

Finally, Nolan's deep voice broke the stillness. Why so quiet?”

His voice sent a shiver through Regina as if she'd been gently electrified.

“You saved me.” she whispered.
