Lily didn’t want to waste another second with him. She turned and quickly headed in the opposite direction.
But John blocked her again, gripping her wrist tightly.
“Answer me. Are you pregnant?”
The red in his eyes deepened like a tide of blood, surging with fury. It was like hell itself had swallowed all the light in the world.
He stepped closer, trying to snatch the report Lily was hiding behind her back.
Of course she didn’t want him to see it. She yanked her arm back with all her strength, pulling away from him.
“John, you’re no one to me now. My life is none of your business.
Get out of my way. Now.”
John knew this was the OB–GYN wing. Womening here didn’t have to be pregnant–it could’ve been for anything.
But he’d caught a glimpse of the word “pregnancy” on the paper in her hand.
<i>After </i><i>the </i>New <i>Year</i><i>, </i>I’d <i>told </i><i>Wayne </i><i>to </i><i>dig </i><i>into </i><i>what </i><i>was </i><i>going </i><i>on </i><i>between </i><i>Lily </i><i>and </i><i>James</i>.
A few days <i>ago</i><i>, </i><i>Wayne </i><i>had </i><i>reported </i><i>back</i><i>. </i><i>James </i><i>had </i><i>already </i><i>filed </i><i>for </i><i>divorce</i>. <i>The cooling</i>–<i>off </i><i>period </i><i>had </i><i>passed</i><i>. </i><i>He </i>just hadn’t <i>returned </i><i>to </i><i>the country </i><i>yet</i><i>, </i><i>so </i><i>the </i><i>final </i><i>papers </i><i>weren’t </i><i>signed</i><i>. </i>
But the divorce? It was <i>basically </i><i>a </i><i>done </i><i>deal</i>.
Knowing that James didn’t care about Lily had given John a sliver of hope–maybe even redemption. He’d convinced himself Lily only threw away what was under the silk tree out of anger.
James didn’t <i>want </i><i>her </i><i>anymore</i>. <i>What </i><i>else </i><i>could </i><i>she </i><i>do</i><i>? </i>
<i>Once </i><i>their </i><i>divorce </i><i>was </i><i>finalized</i><i>, </i><i>she’d </i><ie </i><i>back </i>to <i>me</i><i>. </i>
I’m <i>sure </i>she <i>would </i><i>never </i><i>let </i><i>James </i><i>touch </i><i>her</i><i>. </i>
<i>She </i>had <i>deep </i><i>psychological </i><i>trauma </i><i>about </i>intimacy. <i>Even </i><i>when </i><i>they </i><i>were </i><i>deeply </i>in <i>love</i><i>, </i><i>she </i><i>couldn’t </i><i>bring </i><i>herself </i><i>to </i><i>be with </i><i>him</i>. How <i>could </i>she possibly <i>sleep </i>with <i>James</i><i>? </i>
Still… that one blurred word-“pregnancy“-kept gnawing at him.
I had to know.
<i>I </i>need <i>to </i><i>confirm </i><i>it </i><i>isn’t </i><i>a </i><i>pregnancy </i>test. <i>That </i><i>she </i><i>isn’t </i>carrying <i>some </i><i>other </i><i>guy’s </i><i>baby</i><i>. </i>
Once again, he grabbed her wrist, harder this time. “Give it to me.”

Chapter 307 She’s Pregnant
Lily looked at him like he was insane.
She tried to pull away again, but this time he used his full strength.
She couldn’t match his power. Not even close. She couldn’t break free.
Panic flooded her. She almost shouted for help.

But this was a hallway full of pregnant women. If she screamed and made John lose control, he could hurt them too.
Instead, she yanked out her phone and quickly started dialing the police.
John…”
She hadn’t even finished dialing when a voice rang out–cheerful, breathless, almost triumphant.
“I’m pregnant, John! You’re going to be a dad!”
“Elsa… what did you just say?”
It was like getting struck by lightning. John’s pupils blew wide, his mindpletely nk. His grip on Lily’s wrist ckened as he stood frozen.
In a daze, he muttered again, “Who… who’s going to be a dad?”
What happened <i>on </i>New <i>Year’s </i><i>Eve</i>–<i>my </i><i>drunkenly </i><i>sleeping </i><i>with </i><i>Elsa</i><i>–</i><i>had </i><i>already </i><i>been </i><i>the </i><i>biggest </i><i>regret </i><i>of </i><i>my </i><i>life</i>.
<i>I </i>still hadn’te to <i>terms </i>with it.
Earlier today, Elsa had <i>mentioned </i><i>nausea </i><i>and </i><i>wanted </i><i>to </i><i>get </i><i>checked </i><i>out</i>.
I thought her body was too <i>far </i><i>gone</i><i>, </i><i>that </i><i>pregnancy </i><i>was </i><i>impossible</i>.
But fate clearly had <i>other </i><i>ns</i>.
Now, she was <i>carrying </i><i>my </i><i>child</i>.
The one <i>dream </i><i>I’d </i>had<i>–</i><i>having </i><i>children </i><i>with </i><i>Lily</i>–<i>was </i>slipping <i>away</i><i>. </i>
Elsa<i>? </i><i>Pregnant </i><i>with </i><i>my </i><i>baby</i><i>? </i>
He hoped it was a hallucination. He prayed it was his ears ying tricks on him.
But that final shred of hope was crushed a secondter.
Elsa repeated with a bright smile, “John, I’m three weeks pregnant. You’re going to be a father!”
Words like “shattered” or “destroyed” weren’t enough to describe what John felt at that moment.
He stumbled back, nearly copsing to the floor.
Lily, watching Elsa’s smug little act, was thoroughly annoyed.

Chapter 307 She’s Pregnant
But for once, she actually found Elsa kind of… cute.
Her sudden appearance had saved her. John’s grip had loosened, and she was free.
And honestly, she was relieved.
Elsa being <i>pregnant </i>with <i>John’s </i><i>child</i><i>? </i>
<i>Perfect</i>.
<i>Let </i><i>them </i><i>be </i><i>a </i><i>happy </i><i>little </i><i>family</i><i>. Maybe </i><i>now</i><i>, </i><i>he’d </i><i>finally </i><i>leave </i><i>her </i><i>alone</i>.
Without looking back, she turned and rushed toward the elevator.
She didn’t notice the figure watching her from around the corner.
Mathilda, wearing a surgical mask, stood frozen–one hand mped tightly over her mouth.
She hade to the hospital today… for an abortion.
She had just finished the procedure when she saw Lily entering the ultrasound room.
A terrible feeling immediately filled her gut.
She followed Lily in secret, trying to figure out what was going on.
As <i>expected</i>, <i>that </i><i>bitch </i><i>Lily </i><i>is </i><i>really </i><i>pregnant</i><i>! </i>
She had secretly hooked up with some rich heir and actually slept with him.
