Chapter 147: Time Will Tell**

The next morning, Charles went to a toy store, where Oliver helped him choose several gifts for Haniel. With the assistance of other security guards, the toys were delivered to the children's ward at the hospital. Charles hoped to spark Haniel's curiosity, but the boy remained indifferent to the gifts, while the other children eagerly played and enjoyed themselves around him.

Morgan, carefully holding the necklace in the palm of his hand, watched the happy children selecting their toys. A sense of unease washed over him.

"He's been asking for a lot of his sister's attention," the doctor commented with concern. "He even thinks she abandoned him now that he's awake and has seen his condition."

When she opened her eyes, she found herself in Rudan’s arms, his brows furrowed in confusion."Are you trying to kill yourself? What should I tell Davis? How will he feel if you and this child meet a tragic end? You should be thinking about this life and not just your own, like a selfish woman," Rudan said sternly, while Hanna turned pale as a sheet."What do you mean?" she stammered, still dazed, as Rudan gently set her on the ground."In the two weeks you've been here, I noticed about three days ago that you've been nauseous and eating very little, avoiding food. Do you think you're good at hiding a pregnancy?" he remarked, observing Hanna closely."And what makes you think I’m with child?" she asked, her eyes wide with fear."I'm not a fool," he replied confidently.

She lowered her head, brown hair falling into her eyes, trying to suppress the urge to vomit.“I’m just feeling a little sick,” she murmured, her voice weak and hoarse. “Maybe it was the food… we tried so many new dishes, flavors I’ve never tasted before… maybe my body hasn’t adapted.”Davis watched her, his eyes narrowed in suspicion.“I don’t believe it,” he said skeptically. “The dishes I picked were from the best restaurant in town, so I doubt that’s the issue.”Hanna raised her head, tears welling up in her brown eyes.“It’s true!” she stammered, her voice trembling. “I feel sick, I’m not making this up.”Davis sighed, crossing his arms and leaning against the bathroom door.“I thought I was gaining your trust, but it seems your mind is still stuck in the past,

She ran towards her mother and tried to pull the injection from her hand. 'Why are you trying to take his life?' Maya asserted, gripping her mother. Liara, though surprised, had no intention of backing down. 'Maya... what are you doing? This is the perfect chance to get rid of this burden.' She said angrily. 'What will you say if they find out about this strange child? Shouldn't we get rid of it? If you wanted to get rid of him in the past by handing him over and pretending he didn't exist, it means you never loved that dying child!'

Rudan knew Davis like the back of his hand; they had been together for ten years. 'I need to take this call,' Rudan said, stepping out of the room quickly. He headed toward the lab, where his sudden entrance startled the doctors working there. 'Sir, you can’t be here,' one of the doctors warned him. 'Where are the test results for Hanna?' Rudan asked anxiously. The doctor who had attended to Hanna when she was brought to the hospital approached him. 'What are you doing here? The results are being prepared for delivery.' 'I want those results now,' Rudan said firmly. His authoritative gaze and intimidating aura left the doctors apprehensive. The doctor holding th

'Mr. Davis Farrugia?' the doctor asked in a calm, professional tone, holding out a badge. 'Yes, that's me,' Davis replied, his voice hoarse with nerves. 'Are you Dr. Gordon?'

Davis asked abruptly, his eyes fixed on the floor. 'It depends...' Rudan sighed, his shoulders slumped in despair. 'If you’re referring to her body or her mind.' 'Both!' Davis exclaimed, his voice heavy with anguish. 'Her mind will never be the same again,' Rudan said with regret. 'She will hate you forever. As for her body... I don’t know.' He paused, searching for the right words. 'Wait until her next menstrual cycle. Her body will take time to recover too. Just let Hanna rest.' 'She’s my wife,' Davis retorted, his voice cold and cutting. 'How can I leave her in peace? Besides, we’re going to try for our own child, if that’s what she wants. But she’s not going to carry another man’s child while married to me.' Rudan smiled ironically. 'Among all the things you’ve done, this is one o

But Rudan removed it with a brusque gesture, staring at her with a smile that never reached his cold eyes.“You’re still with him, aren’t you?” His gaze fixed on her belly, sending a chill down Hanna’s spine.“How do you know?” Her voice was a trembling whisper.“A pregnant woman who didn’t bleed after an abortion?” Rudan examined her with the sharpness of a detective. “What really happened there? What was all that blood?”“Don’t tell Davis, please... I don’t want my baby to die...” Hanna’s words were muffled by a sudden, tight embrace from Rudan. She shrank

However, there was still one place she dreaded visiting—the hospital room where her father lay. Despite her reluctance, Hanna knew she had to see him, understand his condition, and decide what to do. "Do you really want to see him?" Gabriel asked hesitantly as they stopped in front of the door to the room. Hanna remained silent, her head bowed, displaying apprehension and sorrow. Her emotions were conflicted: she didn’t want her father to die, yet she harbored deep resentment for his actions. "I just don’t want him to die," she admitted, her voice thick with emotion. "It wouldn’t be fair to strip so many people of their freedom for years and then just die like that." "He’s an old man now," Gabriel offered, trying to console her. "Still filled with malice..." Hanna smiled, but it was a disconcerted and melancholic smile. "Can you imagine he wante
