Jeffrey hadn't set foot in the hospital, so he had no idea if the child was dead or alive. He also didn't know if Paige had tried to call again because his phone lay in pieces.

The grand living room of his villa was a disaster zone - shattered vases and trinkets littered the floor, mingling with splatters of blood. It was a scene straight out of a horror flick.

When Huxley and Paloma arrived, they were greeted by this chaos.

Karen couldn't find Jeffrey the night before and hadn't called them but had shot them a text instead, thinking they'd call back if they saw it upon waking.

But when Paloma tried returning the call in the morning, Karen didn't pick up.

Sensing something was amiss, Paloma quickly grabbed her husband, and they rushed to check on their son. Search The Find Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

"Jeffrey, what in the world happened?" Paloma gasped, rushing over to clutch his wounded hand. "Did you and Karen have a fight? This... this is extreme, honey! Turner, call the doctor, now! Jeffrey's hand is still bleeding, and it looks serious!" Huxley, usually the lecturer, knew this wasn't the tfor sermons. He simply nodded and reached for his phone.

"Mom, just leave it," Jeffrey pulled his hand away, acting as if the wound wasn't his own.

The blood, barely clotted, began to seep out once more.

"How can I just leave it, Jeffrey? I'm your mother!" Paloma guessed it had to do with Karen, especially since Karen was nowhere to be seen. It must have been a fight, but this was beyond any normal quarrel. "Tellwhat happened. Why didn't you chlast night? Karen's message said she was worried sick about you." "I didn't know she'd be out all night looking for me..." "So, she got mad at you?" Jeffrey shook his head.

Paloma was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he said, "Karen broke up with me." Paloma was at a loss for words.

"Mom, she said I was disgusting." Paloma frowned slightly, "What on earth did you do? Sweetheart, people say mean things when they argue. I'l talk to Karen, and everything will be fine. She just lashed out, that's all." Jeffrey offered a pained smile and, using his battered hand, he pushed himself shakily to his feet.

"But I am disgusting, Mom. She's right." Truly disgusting! If the roles were reversed, Jeffrey thought he would be repulsed too.

That's why he couldn't muster the courage to chase after Karen, to beg her to take him back.

"Jeffrey, what exactly happened between you two? At least tell me, so I can help you figure it out. Karen is a good girl and she's reasonable. She wouldn't really break up with you, it's probably just..." "Paige had a daughter. My daughter." Paloma was speechless.

"What!" "Two years ago, I got wasted. I never expected it would be Paige. Afterward, she got pregnant and didn't tell me. She hid away and gave birth." Paloma's jaw dropped and stayed that way, frozen in shock. "The baby has a congenital heart defect, a serious one. Last night, I was at the hospital with her, didn't tell Karen." "You! You!" Paloma scrambled for words but couldn't form a single sentence.

Jeffrey looked at her with bloodshot eyes, "Mom, are you out of options too?" "Does Karen know about the child?" He shook his head, "I didn't get the chance to tell her. She wanted to break up before I could say anything." "Then maybe..." "Mom, I can't lie to her. She trustedso much, I can't deceive her." X
