Chapter 197

Whitney pulled an all-nighter at the hospital with Klein. They booked a spare ward next door.

Klein wanted her to be comfortable, so he kept watch James for half the night, and Carter took over for the other half When the doctor came by for morning rounds, James was looking much better.

Whitney kept waking up all night, drifting in and out of weird dreams. In one of them, a kid was chasing her nonstop.

Klein kissed his restless wife and chuckled, “Sorry you had to go through all this, honey.

When she finally woke up, her legs were somehow sore, like she’d just finished a marathon or something.

Whitney smiled. “It’s really fine. Your dad is important to me too.”

In a ward upstairs, Emily, who had passed out earlier, was finally coming around.

No one knew how Emily managed to get so insanely lucky. When the doctor told her she was really pregnant, she just started crying, totally overwhelmed.

“Can I borrow your phone? I need to call my husband!” she blurted out.

She couldn’t wait to share the good news with Carter.

Emily thought, ‘If Carter finds out I’m pregnant, he’ll definitely forgive me for all the stupid things I did.’

While Emily was still caught up in her innocent daydreams, instead of Carter showing up, it was the police who came to question her.

The officer stared at her with a cold look. “You awake? Can you answer some questions?”

“Did you abandon an eight-month-old baby boy on the 25th?” the officer asked.

Emily blurted out, “I didn’t do it!”

“Someone saw you abandon the baby, and you even staged a fake kidnapping. What do you have to say about that?” the officer pressed.

Emily was desperate. “Who? Who’s framing me? Officer, you have to believe me. I swear I’m being set up!”

When Tony walked into the ward holding the baby, it was like a punch to the gut for Emily.

“I saw you abandon the baby with my own eyes. What do you have to say for yourself now?” Tony snapped.

“You evil woman,” Tony said, pissed, “you’re insane!”

“I’m taking the baby home and raising him myself. You’ll never get to touch him for the rest of your life,” Tony declared.

The nanny stepped up and confirmed, “No wonder she never liked kids. Turns out she had a secret love child behind her husband’s back! Officer, you have to make her pay for this. She’s so heartless, and she even abandoned her own child!”

Even the so-called kidnapper who’d taken her money and run abroad showed up to point the finger at her.

Chapter 197

The witnesses and ironclad evidence, there was no room for doubt

Emily had no cards left to play.

Emily slumped back on the hospital bed, her whole body cold and numb. The thought of spending the rest of her life locked up made her shiver. She couldn’t bear to imagine how bleak that would be.

Then it suddenly dawned on her that she was pregnant!

“Officer, I’m pregnant! You can’t arrest me!” she cried out

The officer couldn’t help but think, ‘Unbelievable. How does someone like her always end up with such good luck?

“Contact your lawyer yourself,” the officer said, his tone flat and uninterested.

There were still cops stationed at the hospital, and Emily begged them for a phone. Hers was teng gone.

Carter answered, his voice cold and deep, “Hello.”

“Carter, it’s me, Emily! Please don’t hang up, just hear me out, I’m begging you!” Emily pleaded.

“I’m pregnant with your baby and I’m at the hospital. I swear it’s true this time! It’s really your child. You can’t just leave me like this! I’m pregnant, and I won’t have to go to jail. Carter, please, you have to help me!” Emily cried.

Carter felt his stomach churn again as he stood by his grandfather’s bedside.

George asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Who was that on the phone?”

Carter let out a heavy sigh. “It was Emily. She’s in a ward upstairs. She claims she’s pregnant.”

George was stunned.

Whitney raised her eyebrows, thinking, ‘Seriously, Emily is like one of those cockroaches. No matter what happened, she just kept crawling back.

Abandoning a baby could easily get her five years behind bars. But if she was pregnant, she might just get probation or have her sentence put on hold.

Whitney curled up in Klein’s arms, holding him close.

Klein sneered, “Don’t tell me you guys actually want her baby now?”

James heard everything. He ripped off his oxygen mask, and pointed straight at Carter. “I’m not accepting that kid! If you want to take responsibility, that’s on you, but don’t go calling any random child a Harris!”

Carter’s expression was grim. “I’m going upstairs to see for myself.”

James waved them off. “George, you guys go home. Klein can stay here. Whit, you should get some rest too. You barely slept at all last night.”

These days, the only time James felt any peace was when Klein was around.

Not having kids was fine, but sneaking around and having a secret love child, then expecting the Harris family to take responsibility? That was crossing the line.
