Skipped at the altar, Taken by his uncle Novel

Chapter 197 Chapter 197 Whitney pulled an all-nighter at the hospital with Klein. They booked a spare ward next door Klein wanted her to be comfortable, so he kept watch James for half the night, and Carter took over for the other half. When the doctor came by for morning rounds, James was looking much better. Whitney kept waking up all night, drifting in and out of weird dreams.

In one of them, a kid was chasing her nonstop When she finally woke up, her legs were somehow sore, like she'd just finished a marathon or something Klein kissed his restless wife and chuckled, "Sorry you had to go through all this, honey? Whitney smiled. "It's really fine. Your dad is important to me too." In a ward upstairs, Emily, who had passed out earlier, was finally coming around. No one knew how Emily managed to get so insanely lucky. When the doctor told her she was really pregnant, she just started crying, totally overwhelmed. "Can I borrow your phone?

I need to call my husband!" she blurted out. She couldn't wait to share the good news with Carter. Emily thought, 'If Carter finds out I'm pregnant, he'll definitely forgive me for all the stupid things I did While Emily was still caught up in her innocent daydreams, instead of Carter showing up, it was the police who came to question her. The officer stared at her with a cold look. "You're awake?

Can you answer some questions?" "Did you abandon an eight-month-old baby boy on the 25th?" the officer asked Emily blurted out, "I didn't do it!" "Someone saw you abandon the baby, and you even staged a fake kidnapping. What do you have to say about that the officer pressed. Emily was desperate. "Who? Who's framing me? Officer, you have to believe me. I swear I'm being set up!" When Tony walked into the ward holding the baby, it was like a punch to the gut for Emily. I saw you abandon the baby with my own eyes. What do you have to say for yourself now?

Tony snapped "You evil woman, Tony said, pissed, 'you're insane!" I'm taking the baby home and raising him myself. You'll never get to touch him for the rest of your life, Tony declared The nanny stepped up and confirmed, "No wonder she never liked kids. Turns out she had a secret love child behind her husband's back! Officer, you have to make her pay for this. She's so heartless, and she even abandoned her own child Even the so-called kidnapper who'd taken her money and run abroad showed up to point the finger at her. With all the witnesses and ironclad evidence, there was no room for doubt.

16:34 Thu, Dân 1 Chapter 197 Emily had no cards left to play. Emily slumped back on the hospital bed, her whole body cold and numb. The thought of spending the rest of her life locked up made her shiver. She couldn't bear to imagine how bleak that would be. Then it suddenly dawned on her that she was pregnant! "Officer, I'm pregnant! You can't arrest me!" she cried out. The officer couldn't help but think, 'Unbelievable. How does someone like her always end up with such good luck? "Contact your lawyer yourself," the officer said, his tone flat and uninterested.

There were still cops stationed at the hospital, and Emily begged them for a phone. Hers was long gone. Carter answered, his voice cold and deep, "Hello." "Carter, it's me, Emily! Please don't hang up, just hear me out, I'm begging you!" Emily pleaded. "I'm pregnant with your baby and I'm at the hospital. I swear it's true this time! It's really your child. You can't just leave me like this! I'm pregnant, and I won't have to go to jail. Carter, please, you have to help me!" Emily cried. Carter felt his stomach churn again as he stood by his grandfather's bedside.

George asked, "What's wrong?" "Who was that on the phone?" Carter let out a heavy sigh. "It was Emily. She's in a ward upstairs. She claims she's pregnant." George was stunned. 210 Whitney raised her eyebrows, thinking, 'Seriously, Emily is like one of those cockroaches. No matter what happened, she just kept crawling back. Abandoning a baby could easily get her five years behind bars. But if she was pregnant, she might just get probation or have her sentence put on hold. Whitney curled up in Klein's arms, holding him close.

Klein sneered, "Don't tell me you guys actually want her baby now?" James heard everything. He ripped off his oxygen mask, and pointed straight at Carter. "I'm not accepting that kid! If you want to take responsibility, that's on you, but don't go calling any random child a Harris!" Carter's expression was grim. "I'm going upstairs to see for myself." James waved them off. "George, you guys go home. Klein can stay here. Whit, you should get some rest too. You barely slept at all last night." These days, the only time James felt any peace was when Klein was around.

Not having kids was fine, but sneaking around and having a secret love child, then expecting the Harris family to take responsibility? That was crossing the line. This whole thing was a huge shock for James. He'd always cared a lot about appearances and couldn't stand outsiders gossiping about the Harris family's drama. Who knew what kind of wild stories would be spreading once this was all over? TIRA 1 O lm တ III O く 16:34 Thu, Jan 1 ở Fl Chapter 197 Klein shot George a look, and George sighed. "Alright, Dad, just get some rest.

Klein, if anything comes up, let me know right away." "Whitney, you've had a rough night too. Want to head home with me?" George asked. Whitney shook her head softly and said, "No need, George, I'll stay at the hospital a bit longer." After George left, Klein tried to comfort his father. "Dad, don't get mad. Being mad won't fix anything. It's already done. Carter might keep getting cheated on and end up with a few more surprises, but your son? That's never happening with me," Klein said. Klein shot Whitney a wink. "Right, honey?" "You wouldn't ever cheat on me, would you?" he teased.

James was speechless. Whitney was speechless too. James thought, 'Great, I really jinxed it. Now I kinda wish I could kick this son out of the hospital too! Carter pushed open the ward door. The moment Emily saw him, her eyes instantly lit up with hope. To her, it was like grabbing onto the last lifeline she had left. "Carter, you came!" Emily blurted out, her voice trembling. She almost lunged forward, frantically reaching for his hand, but he pulled back without a second thought. Right now, Carter couldn't stand being in the same room as Emily for even a second.

If they weren't still married on paper, and she wasn't carrying his baby, he wouldn't have bothered showing up at all. "What else do you want from me? I told you everything when you showed up at my place," Carter said, his voice icy. Emily was sobbing, tears streaming down her face. "Carter, I know I screwed up. But honestly, can you really say you had nothing to do with me cheating?" "Uncle Klein kicked me out of the country, and I was stranded abroad with nobody to help me. You barely even cared. I just did what any woman might do in that situation.

I never thought I'd actually get pregnant..." "When I found out I was pregnant, I was scared out of my mind. I didn't know how to deal with it. But you kept getting colder and colder, so I thought maybe having a baby would make you love me again." "After that, I kept wishing the baby would just... miscarry on its own, but it never happened. Carter, I swear, I only cheated that one time.

You know everything else about me, don't you?" Carter scoffed, "So after all this, you're actually trying to pin it on me?" "When my parents took you in and raised you, did it ever cross your mind how they'd feel when you cheated behind my back?" "You went abroad, blowing my family's money like it was nothing. Is this how you repay them?" "You begged me for this marriage. I was ready to call it off, but you wouldn't let it go, remember?

You begged for it, and now you think you've got any excuse for cheating?" Carter stood over her, looking down at her tear-streaked face with a cold, distant gaze. The more he used to love her, the 16:34 Thu, Jan 1 MIZA Chapter 197 more he couldn't stand her now. "Just get an abortion. I'm not going to acknowledge this kid, and neither will the Harris family," Carter said, his voice cold as ice. "Tomorrow, my lawyer will send over the divorce papers. That's it. We're over," he finished, sounding utterly final. 田 AD Comment Send gift No Ads 16:34 Thu, Jan 1 ở F admin
