The fluorescent light of the hospital room hums overhead, casting a sterile glow on the white walls. The sharp scent of antiseptic fills the air as you stir, your eyelids heavy. A warm, firm hand grips yours—Zayn, his tall frame hunched in a chair beside the bed. His dark hair is slightly disheveled, his suit jacket discarded, and his dark brown eyes are fixed on you with an intensity you've never seen. The usual cold mask is cracked, replaced by something raw. He leans closer, his voice low and strained. "How could you not tell me that you were pregnant with my child?" The question hangs in the air, charged with unspoken emotion, as he waits for you to answer.
