Love in the dark Chapter 575 How Odd
Before her uncle turned up, Zoey was extremely apprehensive. If Laurence suddenly went off the rails and showed himself again, they probably wouldn't see the end of this.Though she hid it well, Zoey couldn't help the guilt that washed over her when she saw her uncle's face. He wouldn't have taken a bullet from Laurence if it weren't for her. A gunshot wound like that may not mean much in his youth, but who knew what impact it would bring with age?Fortunately, during these anxious hours, Laurence didn't try looming. Jason parked his car outside. Rose was on his heels, keeping her distance two steps behind him. She thought about breaking the awkward silence several times, but she’d stopped for fear of being ignored. What if he ignored her attempts? That would only make things even more awkward! Rose ruffled her hair in annoyance. She couldn't fathom why feelings were starting to bud long after the passing of spring.The courtyard gate was unlocked, and Zoey perched herself on the
Love in the dark Chapter 576 Widow
Sarah shut the door behind her immediately upon entering the consultation room. She had an appointment scheduled, but it wasn't for a check-up.She placed her handbag on the table and greeted politely, "Doctor."Per routine, the doctor began asking about her medical history. With a smile, Sarah replied, "I'm not here for a check-up."The doctor removed his glasses and raised an eyebrow at her. "You're not? Then what are you doing here? I have many patients waiting. Would you mind seeing yourself out?"Before her visit, Sarah had ordered a background check on this doctor. His spouse had cancer and required long-term treatment and medication, and although he was the head of the OBGYN department, he wasn’t earning an impressive amount. He could barely afford the expenses of his child's education abroad on top of his partner’s healthcare costs. He needed money."Do you remember the patient who just left your office?"Of course, he did. Zoey had attended all her prenatal check-ups, an
Love in the dark Chapter 577 Suspicious
The muscles in Zoey's back tensed up, and a chill ran down her spine. She felt her tongue go numb as the color drained from her face.Laurence's ominous gaze softened, and his hold around her loosened ever so slightly. Nevertheless, his expression remained grim. He wasn't in the mood for jokes.Zoey felt a mix of terror and rage. She was so angry she didn't know what to say, but she was equally terrified that if she acted on impulse, innocent, undeserving Jared would wind up on the receiving end of Laurence’s terrible wrath.After mulling over her words for a long time, she uttered a feeble statement through gritted teeth, "I think you've lost your mind."Laurence listened to her reproach quietly. He raised a hand to her face, and she instinctively dodged his touch, but he seemed determined not to let her off. Effortlessly, he clamped her chin between his fingers and stared at her silently.Forced to face him, Zoey felt tears pooling in her eyes, mostly from anger.He stared at h
Love in the dark Chapter 578 Pale
As he ended the call, the doctor looked at the angelic beauty before him. He couldn't help the tingling sensation on his scalp and the cold sweat breaking out on his back. His years in the industry hadn’t prepared him for an encounter like this. However, the temptation was far too great; he couldn't avoid being swayed. This task wasn't a walk in the park. It wasn't like this was the only hospital in Southgrove."You... Do you really want to do this? It won't work. If I tell her there’s a problem, she’ll likely go to another hospital for a second opinion. Are you thinking of bribing doctors in every hospital?" he reasoned. The whole affair was making him feel rather uneasy.Sarah wasn’t amused in the slightest. Coldness spilled from her eyes as she said, "You needn’t worry about this. I have plans in place, and besides, she trusts you. Why would she suspect you? Even if she goes to another hospital, I have my ways."Only two hospitals in Southgrove were renowned for their obstetric
Love in the dark Chapter 579 Hatred
Zoey's body turned cold like a bucket of ice had been dumped on her head. Her lips quivered, but no sound emerged from her throat.Her knuckles turned white as she clenched her fists, and her voice trembled so much it was barely audible. She babbled worriedly, "What do you mean? Didn't we do this screening yesterday? Didn't you say everything looked fine?"You didn’t have to be a medical professional to know what encountering an abnormality in the deformity screen meant. Truth be told, Zoey couldn't accept this as reality.In a daze, she dragged her feet out of the consultation room and followed the nurse into the examination room.She forced herself to calm down as she underwent the examination. Lying on the hospital bed, she didn't know what else was going through her mind apart from complete chaos. The doctor's words rang in her ears, his words bringing news like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.She knew she had to prepare herself for the worst-case scenario—if the fetus had devel
Love in the dark Chapter 580 It's Not Yours Either
Zoey's eyes gleamed with tears.Shawn could feel her wrist shaking as he held it gingerly. Examining her pale face, he immediately guessed what had happened. He asked worriedly, "Is there a problem with the results?"Zoey's eyelashes moved, seemingly offended by his question. Pulling herself together, she crumpled the medical assessment form, determined not to tell Shawn about it. "Everything is fine. Just let me go." She calmed her voice so she wouldn't appear weak before him. Shawn studied her face and saw she didn't look fine at all. Shifting his gaze to the crumpled paper in her hand, he knew she didn't want him to know what it was. "She’s always been good at keeping secrets," he thought. Shawn reluctantly let go of her wrist. "Are you going home now?"Zoey grunted a yes. She wanted to go back to sleep, hoping she would wake up to find this morning had been nothing but a bad dream. "If only I could wake up from this," she thought. She felt her head would explode from
Love in the dark Chapter 581 Can't Keep It
Knowing he wouldn’t get anything from Shawn, Laurence refrained from saying anything further."Instead of wasting my breath here with him, I might as well go to the hospital," he thought.Shawn watched Laurence coldly, speculating silently, "Laurence never seems to doubt that Zoey's child is mine. Well, he never believed her from the start. I wonder if he’ll feel the same after the child is born.”Laurence went to the hospital, no stranger to Dr. Sheppard. Upon learning he was there to ask about matters regarding his ex-wife, he immediately sent for the doctor in charge. The doctor hadn’t realized Zoey was related to someone rich and powerful like Laurence, but it was too late now, and all he could do was continue his lie. "If they discover the truth, I’ll say I made a diagnostic mistake," he told himself inwardly. The doctor met Laurence's icy gaze and subconsciously averted his eyes. "Mr. Scott, Ms. Jenner was here for a prenatal screening."Dr. Sheppard turned to the man and
Love in the dark Chapter 582 What Do You Plan to Do?
Zoey's medical assessment report was heavily crumpled. She couldn't understand it but didn’t dare to look at it again. She felt like crying whenever she saw the thin piece of paper. The doctor’s words that morning had left her in a daze all day. Mustering up her courage, she took out the report and looked at it twice. Feeling foggy, her head felt heavier than usual. She shut her eyes, took two deep breaths, then replaced the paper. She leaned on her couch and took a nap. It was a sound one. Zoey dreamed about a cute little girl with ponytails wobbling and stumbling over, reaching up for a hug. However, she stood where she was and didn't dare move. The little girl lunged over and threw her chubby arms around her legs. Stunned, Zoey slowly knelt down and lifted her trembling hand to caress the child's hair despite herself. It felt soft and real, bringing her to the verge of happy tears. However, as her tears fell, she woke up. She felt a slight pain at the back of her head and sat
