You should be ashamed!”A look of realization flashed in Hannah's eyes
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 145. The Evidence
Desmond Nash!That evil man was here!As Liam's father stomped in their direction with three cops behind him, Haley rose to her feet.Always running to defend his wife, she wasn't surprised that Desmond would come for her.What surprised Haley was the fact that he came so early.How fast!It hadn't even been twenty minutes yet since it happened.Had Desmond been lurking around the hospital premises?Or did he race down here the moment he heard the news?“She's that crazy girl who broke my wife's leg!” Desmond stopped in front of her with the police, pointing a trembling finger forward. “Arrest her!”“Yes, Mr. Nash!”The cops nodded to Desmond's order.Advancing forward, they tried to seize Haley before she could react.Andrew quickly got in between them. “What's the meaning of this?

Urgh!What now?Shutting her eyes, Haley clenched her fists, frustrated.Liam was back again.This stupid man would never take the hint, would he?Why the hell did he come back?Haley turned around, facing him.

Better say the truth!”What other truth was there apart from the fact that she stupidly went and married Liam?It was a bitter truth that Haley never wanted to speak of.A truth that would implicate her forever.“If not, just go away.”Her mother's condition increased Haley's anxiety.It dampened her mood, leaving her feeling helpless.Leave without seeing her brother's baby?Haley had been looking forward to this moment.How could she be able to leave?But then, how could she be abl
