Chapter 797
When Jennifer turned her head, she saw Leon’s face.
It was cold enough to make her flinch.
“Y–You…”
For a moment, she was completely disoriented.
Wasn’t she in the operating room?
Why was she in Leon’s car?
Leon turned to look at her.
After driving through the night, his eyes were bloodshot.
But what was more frightening was the icy anger in them.
Jennifer said nothing.
“You really don’t listen to a word I say, do you?” Leon asked darkly. “What did I tell you in those messages?”
He had been desperate in every message.
Yet she had still gone through with it without hesitation.
If he had not arrived in time, their baby would be gone.
“How could you be so heartless?” Leon said through clenched teeth. “That was a life.”
Jennifer went quiet.
Heartless?
At those words, something tightened in her chest.
“My biggest mistake was not preventing this from happening in the first place.”
She felt sorry for the baby too.
But beyond that…
There was nothing else to say.
If she could not make this difficult decision now, then she would be the one being cruel to her future self.
There was too much she would have to face.
So it was better to make the painful choice now.

Leon lit a cigarette and took two hard drags.
Soon, the car came to a stop.
“Mr. Redson, we’re here,” Shane said from the front.
After driving through the night, Leon could not head straight back to Harbor City.
So Shane had booked them a hotel room in Hamilton to rest first.
The car door opened.
Leon got out first, then looked coldly at Jennifer still sitting inside.
“What? Do you need me to carry you?”
Jennifer stared at him.
“You…”
Before she could finish, Leon grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the car.
Then, before she could react, he lifted her into his arms.
Even in the car, Jennifer had felt the anger rolling off him.
Now, held against his chest, she could feel how tense he was.
His grip was firm enough to make her uneasy.
She opened her mouth to argue.
But the fury in him made her swallow the words.
Leon carried her straight to the room.
The moment he set her down on the bed, Jennifer immediately moved to the other side.
But Leon caught her ankle and pulled her back toward him.
“Let go of me, Leon. You bastard, you…”
He caught her chin before she could finish.
“Look at you,” he said, his voice low and harsh. “You ran all the way to Hamilton to hide this from me. What else are you capable of?”
She had been right beside him all this time.
Yet Leon had never known how much she was hiding.
Jennifer tried to shake his hand off.

But his hold only tightened.
“That hurts…”
The quiet sound slipped out before she could stop it.
He had always seemed gentle before.
Why was he acting like this now?
The moment she said she wanted to break up, he had turned cold and frightening.
Of course.
