Chapter 615 Laughable

Hailey stepped into her quiet estate, her features drained and eyes glassy with unease.

Forest was standing in front of the mirror in the foyer, straightening his collar, readying himself for a formal gathering. The instant his gaze met hers, his posture shifted, worry flashing across his face.

He crossed the space briskly.

“Hailey? What’s wrong? You look terrible.”

His attention darted to her midsection. “What did the doctor say? Is the child alright?”

Hailey didn’t speak. Instead, she moved toward the sofa, folded into one end of it, and sat stiffly

Forest began pacing, the tension rising in his shoulders.

“What happened? Say something!” he urged, his tone cracking. “Is the baby okay?”

Hailey slowly raised her head. Her eyes were rimmed with sorrow, and her mouth moved like she wanted to speak–but couldn’t.

“It’s over, Dad.”

Forest stared, confused. “What do you mean by that? Hailey, explain!”

Dread tightened in his chest. Had there been a miscarriage?

Hailey studied his face, then abruptly stood. Her voice came out jagged and alarmed, like a scream trapped for

too long.

“Sadie’s expecting! That snake–she’s carrying Noah’s baby! It has to be his!”

She gestured wildly, nearly knocking over a lamp. Her voice trembled.

“If he finds out, I’m done. He’ll pick her–and their child–over me.”

She dropped back into the sofa, her body folding inward. “Everything’s crumbling. It’s all slipping away.”

Forest went still, stunned as though he’d been struck.

Sadie was pregnant? With Noah’s child?

His mouth parted, words delayed by disbelief. “How… how could that happen?”

Then another realization hit. “Did Noah regain his memory?”

Hailey’s eyes dulled. “Not yet,” she murmured. “But it won’t be long.”

Forest leaned forward slightly, trying to ground her spiraling thoughts.

“Listen, don’t lose your head. So what if Sadie’s pregnant? You’re pregnant too. And you’re Noah’s spouse. Even

if his memories return, he-”

A guttural cry broke from Hailey’s throat, halting his words. “No! That’s a lie!”

Her face blanched further. Panic swelled in her eyes,

“The baby I’m carrying–it’s not Noah’s. It’s Sutton’s. That worthless fool’s.”

She wrapped her arms around herself. She’d never gotten the chance to end the pregnancy–Noah had

discovered it too soon.

Everything had spiraled out of control before she could undo it.

She’d buried that truth deep within, like a lit fuse–and now it was seconds from exploding,

Forest remained frozen, overwhelmed by the revelation. His expression mirrored Hailey’s from moments

earlier.

Sutton? That failure? The one the Wall family had disowned? And his daughter was pregnant with his child?

A shadow settled over Forest. His balance faltered,

It was shattered–everything. Really over. All their plans, all their aspirations had been founded on a deception.

If Noah’s memories returned or if he found out the truth about the baby, everything would just disintegrate.

Forest inhaled unevenly, fighting to remain composed.

He raised a hand, signaling Hailey to stop spiraling.

This wasn’t the time to fall apart.

“Breathe, Hailey,” he rasped. “We’re not cornered yet. There’s still a path ahead.”

Hailey laughed–a sound like shattered glass. Her glare was scathing.

“A path? What now–you’re going to ‘handle‘ Sadie for me?”

Forest dropped his eyes under her withering look.

Handle Sadie? God, he wished he could. But could he afford to?
