In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 357

I nodded and took in a deep breath. “Dr. Crest, can we talk?”

The doctor frowned and checked his wristwatch. Raising his brow, he asked, “Are you sure you’re going to talk to me at this hour?”

It was 11 p.m. It wasn’t that late, so I insisted, “It won’t take long.”

Pursing his lips, he walked to the living room and sat down before placing his bag down. “Alright.”

I sat on the couch opposite him and poured him a glass of water. “Dr. Crest, have you… met Macy recently?”

He raised a brow and stared at me while frowning. “No. What’s the matter?”

My heart began aching as I felt a weight on my chest. “She’s gone.”

When I was saying the words, my hands felt wet, but I wore a serious expression as I looked at him.

His hands trembled slightly while holding the glass and pursed his lips. “What do you mean by that?”

“She’s dead!” I began tearing up as I forced those words out of my lips. Lowering my head to hide my pained expression, I blinked profusely to force back my tears.

Clang! He placed the glass on the table gently. Narrowing his eyes, his voice was low and deep. “How did she die?”

“She got into an accident. Two lives were lost.” I lied as I promised Macy to keep the truth a secret.

He pursed his lips as his eyes grew dark. “Two lives?”

I nodded while suppressing the pain in my heart. “She was pregnant.”

The doctor stared at me as his eyes went dull. “She was pregnant with my kid?”

“Yeah.” I clenched my teeth and fought the urge to cry.

The man said nothing, and silence ensued in the spacious living room. The atmosphere grew chilly, and I shivered subconsciously.

After a long while, he looked at me, devoid of any emotions, and got up from the couch. Staring at me with a cold gaze, he asked, “That’s all you wanted to tell?”

I was stunned by his reaction and nodded soon after. “Yes.”

“I got it.” He took his bag and exited the villa without bidding farewell.

I froze on the couch, seeing his nonchalant reaction. Is Macy nothing but a passerby in his life?

Mrs. Eriksen had a bag of groceries in her hand as she walked into the house. Seeing me alone in the living room, she asked, “What happened to Dr. Crest? He was fine when he’s here, but why did he look so lifeless when he was leaving? What’s wrong?”
