Without any hesitation, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. With a hint of nervousness in his voice, he asked the person on the other end, "Why did she go there?"
"It seems like she went there for a prenatal checkup."
Upon hearing the answer, Jack felt the breath whoosh out of his body as if he had been sucker-punched. It wasn't until the other person said "Hello?" for a few times that he suddenly snapped out of his reverie, and his expression suddenly changed. "How many months is she pregnant?"
"I don't know."
"Go and find out right away."
After hanging up the phone, Jack changed his clothes, grabbed his car keys, and left.
Tracy was about to call her friends and ask around if they knew a suitable woman to set Jack up with when he suddenly swept past her and got into his car.
She raised her voice and asked, "Son, where are you going?"
The only answer she got was the roar of the engine.
Rachel received a call from the hospital saying that the non-invasive test results had come out. Unexpectedly, the results were released after seven days, whereas it usually took the hospital fifteen days to do so.
She was putting on her shoes on her way out to go to the hospital when the doorbell rang.
'Who could it be at this hour?'
Frowning, Rachel opened the door to the sight of Jack standing there gasping for breath. She froze in surprise, and then in the next moment, she made a mov
lustered. 'Why hasn't she came back? Where did she go?'
He was about leave to look for her when the elevator doors opened. With several bags in her hands, Rachel walked out of the elevator. The smile on her face suddenly dropped when she saw Jack.
She pretended not to see him and went straight to open the door.
Jack walked forward to stand in front of her and asked in a low voice, "Rachel, what can I do to make you forgive me and return to me?"
'Forgive? Return to you?'
There was no expression on Rachel's face, but her head was churning, and her heart was questioning herself, 'Will that day ever come?'
She felt that the odds of her ever forgiving him were very slim.
She looked up at Jack calmly, her eyes devoid of emotion. "That would never happen again."
Jack didn't say anything, but the eyes that met hers were turbulent with emotion. After a moment of silence, a slight frost had crept into his voice. "Rachel, I can easily have you investigated and find out whether the child is my own flesh and blood.
However..." He paused, a trace of pain flashing across his dark eyes and disappearing quickly. He continued, "I'll give you two options now."
Rachel asked suspiciously, "What two options?"
Jack held up two fingers. "The first option is to go home with me. If you still haven't forgiven me by the time the baby is born, then I will let you go. I won't disturb you and the baby anymore."
