Karen wasn't one for wild theories, but if a guy had been admitted to the hospital, there was no way Jeffrey would've kept it a secret from her.

Typically, Jeffrey was the kind who'd give her a play-by-play of his day, down to his bathroom breaks. But today, he'd darted off to the hospital without a peep. Heck, just earlier, she couldn't reach him at all. S~Earch the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

That could only mean one thing: he was there with a woman.

A woman? Her brows knit together in sudden concern. "It's not your ex, is it?" "No! It's not her." Jeffrey blurted out so fast it was as if he didn't even pause to think. Worried he might spill more beans, he quickly added, "I'll be back at the office soon. I'll explain everything when I get htonight, promise. Gotta run, sweetheart." "But, you-" Before Karen could finish, the call ended, leaving her staring at her phone, a mixture of annoyance and confusion stirring within.

Just then, Serena called out, breaking her reverie. "Karen, what are you zoning out for? Con, we need your help with your brother." "On my way." Jeffrey caught a glimpse of the little girl.

She was just over a year old, slender and pale, sleeping peacefully in her hospital bed.

He didn't dare look too long-just one glance and he stepped out of the room.

Paige was there, her eyes red and puffy from crying, her breaths coming in short, jagged pulls.

"How much does her treatment cost?" Jeffrey asked, his voice low, not even wanting to look at Paige.

"It's not much. But I'm afraid that she might not make it." He paused, then pulled out a card and handed it to her. "There should be over five million on this. Use it for her treatment; I'll cover the cost." Paige was stunned, a flicker of surprise in her eyes as she looked up at him.

"You're acknowledging her as yours?" "I'm not," Jeffrey said coldly, pushing the card into her hand. "I need to leave. Karen suspects I'm at the hospital. I have to get back." He turned to go, but Paige caught his arm. "Jeffrey, have you no heart? Your daughter is fighting for her life, and you're just going to leave?" "I said I'd pay for the treatment; what more do you want?" "At least stay with her through this tough time," Paige retorted, uncharacteristically firm. "You showing up today proves you care about your child, even if just a little. So why do you rush back when that woman calls? Is she more important than your own daughter?" "We haven't done a DNA test yet. I can't be sure she's mine." "Jeffrey! You bastard. How can you say such things?" Paige yelled, hysteria edging into her voice. "If you never cared about me, why did you get involved within the first place? Why did you deceive me, and makefall for you? You think you're innocent? Am I not innocent too?" Jeffrey had no idea that one night with her would lead to all this mess.

If he had known, he would've never gotten entangled with her, not in the slightest.

"Just one day, okay?" Paige's voice softened as she pleaded with him. "The doctor says we'll know by today whether she can go through with the surgery. I can't handle this alone. Just stay within the hospital for one day." Jeffrey would've preferred her yelling, making a scene.

But this kind of humble begging was hard for him to outright refuse. contents

"I told her I'd be home." "Just say you're out playing pool or grabbing a drink with the guys. Isn't that what you used to tell me? You never 上! hesitated to blowoff." "If you want a DNA test, let's do it. We're in the hospital right now. Let's get it over with." X
