Chapter 621 A Letter

Laurence gently pinched her chin, carefully wiping away the tears in the corner of her eyes. However, his calmness made Zoey uneasy."Stop crying." Since Zoey needed his help, her attitude wasn't as cold as when she wanted to dissociate from him. After carefully observing her expression, Laurence asked, "Can I trust you?" "I'm being honest about this," Zoey's voice trembled.He replied, "But you've been lying to me all this time.”Finally, he let go of her chin, saying, "Aren't you afraid I’ll fight for his custody now that you’ve told me this? Or are you planning on burning the bridge once I’ve helped you?”Zoey moved her lips but couldn't utter a word. The truth was hard to swallow, and she knew he wouldn't want to hear it. Laurence watched her hesitation and chuckled. "If this hadn’t happened, you would never have told me the child is mine." Zoey didn't retort as she knew it was the truth. She never would’ve spoken to him if she didn't need his help. Suddenly, Zoey rec

Chapter 622 When Will We Get the Results?

Zoey received a picture from an unknown number showing Teddy asleep, and a location she had never been to or heard about. Without a moment of hesitation, she rushed there. Once she exited the elevator, she repeatedly called the number. A few days ago, the call was unanswered, but now the call couldn't be connected. The other party must've unregistered the number soon after sending the text. On the way there, Zoey thought about going to the police station. However, she worried the trafficker might harm Teddy once he found out the police were on the way, just like she had seen on the news, making her scared to act rashly. Barely any time passed before she reached the location. Upon arriving, she noticed there was nothing else in the area besides a store. She entered and sat inside until the owner closed the store at 10 pm.She wasn't given any further information, as if the other party had tried to test her and played with her emotions by sending the text. As Zoey still had a feve

Chapter 623 Bloody

Laurence was in no hurry to learn the results of the paternity test. He nodded at the nurse, then searched for Zoey in the hallway of the medical room. She was stood by the window in the hallway, her phone in hand, lost in thought. She appeared to be waiting for some news. She only became aware of Laurence's presence when he emerged behind her."Are you done?" "Yeah." "When will the results be ready?" "Two to three days." The test result didn't matter much to Zoey anymore. The wait was too long. She could wait, but her baby's time was running out. She wouldn't count on the human trafficker to be merciful. Kids were vulnerable and delicate. They could get sick if not handled with care. Zoey was dumbstruck as countless thoughts went through her mind. The squeezing pain in her arm snapped her out of her thoughts. Zoey studied the face of the man whose attractive features hid his cruelty and indifference. Even though all this was to help her, and a life was at stake, Laurence re

Chapter 624 The Beginning and End

"Shit!" Jason snapped and cursed, no longer the gentleman he always was in Zoey’s presence. Zoey clutched her uncle's hand tight and lifted her gaze to him. "Uncle Jason, any updates from the police?" Jason couldn't bring himself to meet her eyes. "Not yet. There isn't any surveillance in the area. The culprit switched vehicles during the kidnapping, so tracking them down is going to be hard.”Zoey didn't tell her uncle about the text messages. The last thing she wanted was to act recklessly, especially after the gruesome photo she received as a warning. As they were holding her son hostage, she had no choice but to go alone. Zoey lowered her gaze. "Okay. I'll be patient." Jason furrowed his brows in a scowl. It worried him that Zoey was acting so calm. Letting her feelings out was better than holding everything in. Jason had sent his men to search around, but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. "You're still burning up. Take care of yourself and get some rest at

Chapter 625 Forewarning

Zoey wasn't kept waiting for long, and it was someone she expected.Sarah approached Zoey, sauntering in her heels and stopping a few feet away from her. She was tall and slender, with wavy hair that fell to her shoulders. Her caked face was glamorous but aggressive, and she curled her lips into a faint smile. The heavy makeup concealed the scar on her face completely. Zoey wasn't surprised to see Sarah; that was the amazing thing about women's intuition. The scheme was a product of careful planning. She had underestimated Sarah's resentment for her. Still, who was Sarah to hate her? Zoey wasn't the daughter of a homewrecker who had stolen her father's love. In fact, Zoey had never gone out of her way to hurt Sarah. Sarah had even gotten a manicure today. She looked at Zoey gleefully and pointed out, "You don't seem surprised." Zoey didn't have time to waste. She demanded, "Where's my boy?" The clicking of Sarah's heels sounded like nails on a chalkboard, and the deafening s

Chapter 626 Stabbed

The phone call was untimely, its ring jarring. Sarah clicked her tongue. "Why aren't you picking up? I bet it's Laurence." She got that right. Zoey drew a deep breath and sat in her thoughts for a while before accepting the call as Sarah watched. Laurence spoke into the phone, "Are you home? Has your fever subsided? I bought you painkillers. I'm on my way to your place." Zoey pursed her lips. "I'm good. I have painkillers at home. Don't go to my house. It'll be bad if my mom sees you. She doesn't like you." She came off as harsh and insensitive. Laurence paused and clenched his grip on the phone. That was what he got for being nice. She was back to keeping him at arm's length when she couldn't get what she wanted from him. She burned bridges at record speed. Even when she pretended to be a little kind to him, it hadn’t lasted longer than a few days.Laurence's tone resumed its previous biting undertones. "Don't forget. The results of the paternity test are out tomorrow." Z

Chapter 627 Fall

The wind howled through the mountains, and blood dripped from the edge of the blade. Zoey's hands shook as she ran as fast as her legs could carry her. The wind tore into her throat, piercing her windpipe. She swallowed blood which carried the bitter taste of rust. Her haste caused her to stumble and fall, scraping her knees and hands on the coarse rocks. There was no time to lose. Zoey picked herself back up and continued running. Despite the beautiful sunset in the background, the strong gusts shuffled her hair, adding to her disheveled state. She had nearly exhausted all her strength when she spotted Sarah's car. The old junk was vintage; God knew where she’d borrowed it from.Zoey drew close, her breaths in short gasps when she heard the wailing of an infant. Tears streamed down her face, a silent release of the tension and fear from sleepless nights.She pulled the car door open with force and carried the baby left in the front passenger seat in her arms. It was probably due

Chapter 628 The Results Are Out

Laurence saw a missed call on his phone after a meeting. The contact displayed on his mobile screen took him by surprise. He quickly returned the call, but no one answered. Since the woman had not called his number in a long time, Laurence had reasons to suspect that she had either dialed the wrong number or butt-dialed him. It was no time to dwell on the matter, though. Laurence made multiple attempts to call her back, but the calls went unanswered, and her phone was eventually switched off. He clenched his phone tightly as his stomach churned. … Sarah watched as the burning car teetered on the edge of the cliff for a moment before plummeting down, consumed by flames. She lit a cigarette. Hiding her expression behind the wisps of smoke, she asked, "Is she inside the car?" The hired gun paused, then nodded, believing that no one could survive such circumstances. He replied, "Yes. Don't worry. She's dead for sure." He was paid to do a job, so he wouldn't cross the line and pok

Chapter 629 The Deceased

Laurence had almost forgotten about the paternity test. He was the one who had insisted on getting it done, but the truth was, he couldn’t care less about the results now. It turned out people could be childish when they were in love. He constantly sought Zoey's validation, afraid of being invisible to her. He clenched his phone. "Alright, I'll be there." Since the highway was backed up for miles at around nine o'clock, Laurence took longer to arrive at the hospital. He wasn't in a hurry to get out of the car. Instead, he paced back and forth before heading to the clinical laboratory. The hospital was a hive of activity, so much so that there weren’t any nurses along the corridor. The hospital director immediately welcomed Laurence as he entered the building, knowing he was not someone to cross. After learning that Mr. Scott was there to collect the paternity test report, the hospital director ushered Laurence to his office. A nurse was sent to the nurses' station to retrieve t

Chapter 630 She's Dead

Laurence tensed up, his fingers pale from straining. He sat rooted to the spot in the deafening silence. Since there was no response from Laurence, the police officer thought he had hung up. He checked, "Mr. Scott, are you still there?" The man's expression was hidden in the shadows. Clenching his phone, Laurence squeezed the air out of his lungs to talk. The catch in his throat made him struggle to speak. He forced, "I'm listening." Laurence's voice was already hoarse, but now it sounded like nails on a chalkboard as he answered the police officer's question lifelessly. Laurence blinked and found his face wet with tears. He asked, "Are you sure? Did you get the wrong person?" Could this be a case of mistaken identity? The police understood emotions could be running high in the family. He replied, "We believe Ms. Jenner's car rolled off the cliff, and the leaking gas tank caused an explosion. My colleague found her phone and jacket at the scene, which led us to her possible ident
