However, Charlotte was past the point of caring now. She determinedly turned her face away from Zachary’s gaze, turned around, and left.“Where are you going?”Zachary’s voice rang out from the back, deep, hoarse, and fragmented…Charlotte lifted her face and forced the corners of her lips into an arrogant smirk, concealing her deep disappointment. “Aren’t you saying that the baby in my belly is another man’s child? I’m going to see him and make him take responsibility for our baby.”“Charlotte Simmons!” Zachary howled tragically like a wounded animal.He rushed to stop her in a second. His large hand grabbed Charlotte’s throat.“Ugh…” Charlotte couldn’t breathe, and her fair skin instantly turned red.She was suffocating! She was suffocating horribly!Nevertheless, she didn’t feel any pain. Instead, she stared calmly into his icy yet perfect, charming face. His frosted pupils bore down on her, filled with hatred and disgust. The sight of his gaze caused her heart to wither, an
Charlotte’s mind was consumed by concern for Zachary as she eyed the firmly shut door. “Luke, I will explain this misunderstanding to you later. Let me in. I need to see him.”“No!” This was the first time Lucas, who was always smiling and cheery around Charlotte, treated her so coldly.“The Second Master doesn’t want to see you. He’s specifically asked me to guard the door to keep you out!”The tips of Charlotte’s fingers trembled. “But Zachary vomited blood. Is he badly hurt? Is his life in danger?”“Don’t worry. The Second Master is perfectly healthy. He may have suffered some internal injuries due to being infuriated by a certain someone and vomited blood, but that’s not enough to kill him. He’ll be fine in a few days…” Lucas sneered, looking at Charlotte’s face in disdain. “However, now that you’ve mentioned it, Miss Simmons, are you really concerned for the Second Master’s survival? Or are you just pretending like you always have so that the Second Master will think that ev
At the emergency room...“Mr. Connor, although your physical condition has been great, after encountering such a health condition, you must always remember to never get so agitated no matter what happens in the future. Otherwise, your life will be in danger.” The doctor was worried and confused as he looked at Zachary, who was lying on the hospital bed.Which citizen of Rothesay did not know that Mr. Connor was a cold and indifferent man? Extracting any emotion out of him had always been a rather difficult task, let alone provoking him!‘Who has such an ability to frustrate Mr. Connor to an extent which could make him suffer from hematosis!?’Zachary’s face was expressionless, and his eyes were as gloomy as the center of a whirlpool.“Besides that, Mr. Connor, you have to rest more, and remember to take the medicine that I’ve prescribed for you, and—”“That’s enough!” Zachary interrupted the doctor coldly. “Get out!”The doctor was shocked and left speechless due to his domineer
”Scat!”Lorraine seemed to have fallen into the ice cave, and all she could feel was the coldness that surrounded her.However, she knew Zachary very well. Even if she was unwilling to do so, she could only stand up obediently, turn around, and leave.The moment she exited the ward, her body seemed to have been emptied, her legs softened in an instant, and she slumped in the cold corridor.‘Zachary! This man who once loved me as if I was his life had never treated me so rudely in the past nine years.‘However, he has seen the true colors of that b*tch today. What I’ve done was just telling him the truth that Charlotte doesn’t love him, and he actually asked me to scat!‘Could it be that Zachary is so deeply in love with Charlotte that he’s unable to extricate himself from her? Is he so obsessed with her that he will stay with her even after knowing that she has been disloyal to him and is pregnant with another man’s child?‘No! That’s impossible! It’s been less than half a year
Charlotte did not even explain for herself.No one would believe in her now. Her unsupported explanation would only make people feel that she was hypocritical and ridiculous.She planned to go to another hospital and run a paternity test by herself. She would then show the genuine results to everyone who doubted her, making them see the truth!Charlotte took a taxi back to the Divine Sanctuary District.Fortunately, Zachary had not passed down an order to prevent her from entering the mansion.Since Zachary forbade her from entering his bedroom, Charlotte had never gone in without his permission. However, it did not matter anymore now. She went straight in, found a few strands of hair on his pillow, and left in a hurry.One of the servants looked confused. “Ma’am, didn’t Mr. Connor accompany you to the hospital for a pregnancy checkup? Why did you come back alone? That’s also not the main issue here. Why would you enter Mr. Connor’s bedroom, not even stopping to rest for a while,
The doctor left after saying so.She had seen a lot of women who acted like this.‘You obviously led an unscrupulous life and had had an affair with several men at the same time. Now that you’re pregnant, you can’t even pinpoint which man impregnated you. After that, you came to me for a paternity test and found out that the child did not belong to the man that you like most. Then you’ll start to question things, make a scene here at the hospital, telling everyone that the results are unacceptable...‘How can Cora be best friends with such a woman?’Coraline was also shocked by the results and could not recover from the trance for a long time. It took her at least ten seconds before she could grab Charlotte’s freezing hand and comfort her.“Carlie, maybe, there’s something wrong with the equipment. I’ll ask my mother for another doctor and let’s run another test?”“There’s no need...” Charlotte stared blankly at an unknown location. Her eyes looked like they were in a daze. “Cora
Charlotte got through to Garrison.Seeing the caller ID “Cutie Pie” being displayed on the screen, Garrison trembled and could not hold his cell phone securely.He then answered the phone in a panic, “Carlie? Is this really you? Carlie!”“Yes, I’m calling you in need of something. Do you have Lorraine’s phone number? I have run into some issues, and I need to talk to her.” Instead of beating around the bush with Garrison, Charlotte went straight to the objective of the call.Garrison spoke incoherently. “Lory is my sister, so of course I have her phone number. I’ll send it to you right away.”“Well, thank you.”“You’re welcome. Carlie, your voice sounds sad. What’s wrong with you? Have you encountered something that upset you... Hello? Carlie, Carlie!” Garrison, who sensed that something was wrong, took a glance at the screen of his cell phone and found out that Charlotte had hung up the phone long ago.He stared sorrowfully at the Rainbow Bridges opposite of him.More than two
Charlotte immediately understood as soon as she heard the man’s words. This man was working with Lorraine!At the same time, Charlotte sensed that there was a high possibility that this man was the father of the child in her belly!“I’ve revealed everything about us to Mr. Connor. I know that he might punish me for this, but what kind of a man would I be if I didn’t stand up and take on this burden for your sake and our unborn child?”The man gazed at Charlotte affectionately. “Carlie, there’s no use keeping this from Zachary at this point. Tell him that we’re truly in love, that you forced yourself to be his wife out of gratitude for everything he’s done for your family. Mr. Connor will forgive us on account of our true love and our unborn baby.”He grabbed Charlotte’s hand as he spoke.Charlotte pushed him away. “Don’t touch me!”The man couldn’t help but take a step back. His eyes filled with warmth and helplessness as he stared at Charlotte. “Why are you doing this, Carlie—
