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

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

Chapter 583 Want to Keep It

She was puzzled. "About what?"Laurence hesitated, then said, "The child."Zoey knew what he was talking about right away. "So he knows," she thought. She turned to look out the window. She pretended she hadn’t heard what he said and didn't want to talk about it. Seeing her fall silent, Laurence didn’t want to upset her and remained quiet as he drove to the hospital and accompanied her up the stairs. At the doctor’s office, Zoey could only make an appointment for a check-up scheduled for the next day. Taking in the smell of the disinfectant, she stared listlessly, but all she could see around her were white walls. As she turned to leave, the nurse stopped her and told her she could do her check-up if she could wait half an hour. Zoey waited patiently along the hallway. As Laurence sat next to her in silence, she found it hard to dismiss his presence. She watched people walking along the hallway. A husband carefully supported his wife who was about to give birth, as he hoped f

Chapter 584 Can't Sleep, Can't Eat

Laurence's words were harsh and ruthless, but Zoey knew they potentially held truth.Zoey felt an undissolvable lump in her throat as she locked her red eyes with his. She demanded, "Who are you to question me? Why do you care about what I do?" Laurence knew it wasn't the best time to provoke her, but she did seem visibly disturbed and incapable of rational thinking. He tried to restrain himself to no avail. Nevertheless, he kept his tone soft and gentle, "I'm not questioning you. You know very well the consequences of giving birth to a malformed child, don't you? You’re really going to let maternal love cloud your judgment?”Zoey felt a chill run down her spine. The words might not seem like an interrogation to Laurence, but they sounded nothing but harsh to her. As they say, words spoken in anger cut deeper than a winter chill. She was already on edge, much like a taut bowstring stretched to its limit. She was unable to withstand any further pressure.She gripped her hands tight

Chapter 585 Shameless

Not only had Laurence booked their flight back to Northwell the next day, but he’d also made Zoey an appointment at the hospital. He had never let himself receive treatment of a lower standard than he deserved, so he held a first-class ticket in hand. Zoey did not have the energy to argue with him, much less to be polite. Upon boarding the plane, she requested a blanket from the flight attendant with the intention to rest.Even without Laurence disturbing her, she wasn’t able to. The occasional turbulence made her eyelashes tremble from worry. Now pregnant, she cherished her life more, and she’d become more prone to overthinking; thoughts of the worst-case scenario of the plane crashing and taking all the lives on it instantly clouded her mind. Only after passing through the turbulent zones did her heart calm down.Laurence asked the flight attendant for a glass of warm water before turning to Zoey. "Afraid?" he asked.Her drooping eyelids cast a shadow of her lashes across her ch

Chapter 586 Either One

No matter how hard Zoey tried to drive Laurence away, she couldn't ever be rid of him. She vented all her resentments onto him, and as a result, every encounter with him was displeasing. She attributed her current predicament entirely to his irresponsibility. Her temper wasn't the best, and showing him her true colors meant being a difficult and impatient woman. This was especially the case with Laurence; she was constantly nitpicking him."Can you move further? You stink,” Zoey grimaced. Saying that wasn’t pleasant for her, but her frown made it seem like she wasn't lying to escape from him.Laurence raised an eyebrow. "Really?" He couldn’t smell anything on himself. He was a germaphobe, after all.Zoey's brows furrowed deeper as she took two steps back. "Yes, I can smell the smoke on you." Perhaps it was all in her head. But she could undeniably smell the faint scent of tobacco on him.Laurence couldn't help but let out a snicker at her comment. He didn't move closer, and she had

Chapter 587 Suspicions

Sarah was stunned at her mother’s words. Chills ran down her spine, and her hair stood up on end. Having thought about it, it did seem cruel to make Zoey end her child's life.She looked at her gaunt mother, who was now in a state of desperation. If it hadn’t been for Zoey, her father wouldn’t have gone to jail. Laurence wouldn't have stood idly by and watched her family's company plunge into trouble, let alone allow others to encroach on the Jenners' construction company.All this had always been because of Zoey's existence.Sarah remembered how indifferent Laurence had been and the assertive way he had told her he no longer loved her. She recounted the times others had thrown her horrified looks, and it only fueled her hatred even more. Her jealousy and hunger for vengeance were more intense than the average person's."Is this really going to work, Mom?""Why wouldn't it?" Jasmine replied confidently. Had it not been for the few months between her own due date and Janet's, she w

Chapter 588 Thank You

Zoey went for her hospital appointment. It appeared there was a slip-up at the Southgrove hospital as the test conducted by the private hospital in Northwell came up negative. There were no fetal deformities or other abnormalities. Zoey was caught in a whirlwind of emotions, and it was exhausting. Wanting to be sure, she asked again, "Are you absolutely certain my scan showed no abnormalities? Maybe you read the scan wrong?" The level of care at private hospitals was generally higher. The nurse gave Zoey a strange look and insisted, "We wouldn't miss such an important detail from the scan." It was as if Zoey had asked an absurd question. Zoey nodded her head in a daze. The nurse had a point. Since both hospitals had given her the wrong diagnosis, there was surely foul play at hand. She was right to feel uneasy when she had run into Sarah at the hospital in Southgrove the other day. Sarah had no reason to visit an OB/GYN if she was not pregnant. Snapping out of her thoughts, Zo

Chapter 589 A Thank-You Gift

Sarah still saw Zoey as the same gullible high-schooler and defenseless rival she could manipulate. However, times had changed, and Zoey was no longer the person she once was. Tolerance was not Zoey's only option. In the past, she did not want Laurence to perceive her as a self-serving opportunist, as the last thing she wanted was for him to dress her down in disdain. She was no longer concerned about that. His skeptical eyes could do no damage to her even if he did not believe her. "Alright. Let's see if he saves you." Zoey then terminated the call. She did not put all her hopes on the police. Zoey hired a private investigator to follow the money. While the doctor's bank account showed no abnormal activities, his wife had received a considerable sum in hers recently. The source of the money could not be traced, but it was used to treat his wife's cancer. Zoey handed the bank statements of the doctor's wife to the police, but the papers lacked the weight of solid evidence. Besi

Chapter 590 Manipulative

Zoey's slaps did not just leave a mark on Sarah's face, but they left the others on the scene stunned. The blows came without warning and with full force. While Laurence's unknown ex-wife was associated with scandals, no one had seen her violent side. Zoey didn't give a shit about assaulting Sarah in public. Both Sarah's cheeks were swollen. Sarah shook with rage at being humiliated in public. The physical pain was only secondary to her sense of pride, which had been shattered. Overwhelmed with self-righteousness, someone came forth and spat at Zoey, "You might be pregnant, but that is no reason for you to act violently." The art gallery was filled with Sarah's sycophants, many of whom were only interested in her for what they could get, hence why someone spoke up for Sarah. Zoey gleefully looked at the person who spoke. "Those were her thank-you gift to me." She then turned to Sarah. "Weren't they?" With a hand over her face, Sarah lowered her head, hiding her swollen cheeks b
