CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1251

Lydia's face turned pale as all the blood seemed to drain from her body. Her hands trembled slightly, and she could feel every muscle in her chest tightening painfully.

Quincy clenched his fists, barely containing his frustration.

"You're being too harsh. This isn’t Lydia’s fault, and you owe her an apology," Quincy demanded, his voice firm.

Mrs. Perez scoffed. "Fine, I’ll apologize," she said, though her tone was anything but sincere. "Miss Lydia, I hope you can understand. While we may not be some grand, wealthy family, both Quincy’s father and I have spent our lives in education. We come from a respectable background, and quite frankly, our family can’t accept someone like you."

She didn’t mince words, and the effect was immediate.

Lydia felt like she had been stripped bare and tossed out into the street, vulnerable and humiliated. A fire of shame burned in her chest, making it hard to breathe. Every part of her body screamed for her to leave this place, to escape the suffocating tension.

The chair scraped against the floor as Lydia rose to her feet, her movements mechanical. "I’ve overstayed my welcome. I’ll be leaving now."

Without looking back, Lydia turned and rushed for the door.

Quincy moved to follow her, but Mrs. Perez stopped him cold. "If you walk out that door, don’t expect to come back. Quincy, I’m telling you now, unless I’m dead, I will never approve of this marriage. A woman like that, who’s still involved with other men even after marrying you, how can you expect me to accept her?"

Quincy hesitated for just a second. When he finally raced downstairs, Lydia was already gone. He tried calling her, but every attempt rang unanswered, the silence deepening his growing panic.

Desperate, Quincy dialed Nash’s number. When Nash picked up, he could hear the panic in Quincy’s voice immediately. "Mr. York, please, I need your help. Lydia ran off after we visited my parents. I can’t find her, and it’s pouring rain out here. I’m really worried about her."
