Lahat ng Kabanata ng Love in the dark: Kabanata 501 - Kabanata 510

Zoey felt like she'd been struck by lightning. Her refusal to believe the results prompted her to do the test again. However, the results remained consistent every time. Every test displayed two red lines. Zoey had an indistinct feeling for days. Ever since Rose had asked her about her menstruation, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was off. But she was in denial and refused to accept the possibility.Zoey sat on her bed and stared into space for a long time. No matter how she thought about it, nothing seemed to make sense. How was it possible? There were only two possible explanations. It was either purely accidental, or something must’ve been wrong with the medicine Laurence got her from the hospital. But Zoey didn’t think that Laurence would do something like that.It was true that he had said that he wanted a child. However, he did not hide his intentions from her and had told her upfront that he wanted a child. If he really did pull something so u

Laurence recalled bits and pieces of what had happened. He pulled a long face, confused by his erratic behavior. Like a trapped beast, he could not seem to break free from the invisible chains. This was not the first time Laurence had pulled such an act. The chauffeur bore witness to his behavior in the last two weeks. Mr. Scott would not engage in such disgrace when he was in a lucid state of mind. Nevertheless, under the influence of alcohol in social engagements, Laurence became obsessed with returning to the former villa or driving to Miss Jenner's new residence. The chauffeur was reluctant to speak, and pin-drop silence filled the vehicle. It was as if someone was strangling Laurence, sucking the air out of him. He ordered, "Head home. Don't listen to me whenever I have too much to drink." "Of course." Laurence believed he capped his alcohol during the dinner party. How did the alcohol get to his head? They had broken up. He could not embarrass himself in her presence.

Fed up, Zoey kicked Laurence. Laurence maintained a straight face as if he knew no pain despite her loafer coming into contact with his shin in full force.Laurence would rather that she was angry than give him the cold shoulder. "Do you want to kick me a couple more times?" Zoey could not understand what had gotten into Laurence. "What is wrong with you?" she asked, exasperated.Sensing that she was about to make her escape, Laurence tightened his grip on her wrist and trapped her in place. Zoey scowled in pain. "Let go of me." Paying no heed to her words, Laurence uttered offhandedly, "We can do this all day if that's what you want." The stalemate was going nowhere, so Zoey begrudgingly pulled out her phone to remove Laurence's number from her blocked contacts. Laurence seemed pleased now. Still, something was nagging at him. "Don't block my number again," he warned. "I wouldn't have in the first place if you hadn’t pestered me repeatedly." "I had to call you since

A photo was attached to the news article. Katie had met Laurence several times at the workplace, so she recognized him. She was also in the know about Zoey's relationship with Laurence. Zoey found it amusing. "You won’t see him. He doesn't concern himself with these things." Katie gave it some thought and believed it to be the case too. Laurence's signature was not needed on a small contract, so he was unlikely to be there for the signing. While the pair chatted, the familiar clicking of heels echoed along the corridor outside the office. Diana was back, yet again. There had been a steep increase in her visits lately, and she went to the trouble of visiting their workplace. Her villa was near completion. If she was bored, she could monitor the work there instead. "Ms. Cole, what can we do for you today?" "Nothing." Diana was stubborn and acted high and mighty all the same. Katie thought to herself, 'Why are you frequenting our place then? Don’t you have anything better t

Zoey grew more distressed as she mulled it over. She contemplated for so long but couldn’t think of a perfect solution.After a simple breakfast, Zoey returned to the hospital to pick up her medication. Henry offered to drive her there. There was a queue at the pharmacy, and after a few minutes, it was her turn. The doctor checked the prescription and handed her two boxes in a plastic bag. Zoey expressed her gratitude and turned around, only to come face to face with a man she hadn't seen in a long time.Laurence's insomnia hadn't improved. Melatonin had no effect on him, and he still couldn't sleep through the night. Even when he did fall asleep, he was often startled awake by nightmares. Recently, he couldn't even get five hours of sleep a day. The quality of his sleep was also poor. He would occasionally wake up during the night. The bedroom was pitch black as he no longer need to leave the light on for Zoey. The black curtains almost completely shut out the moonlight from outsi
