The Officer's Runaway Wife & Secret Son novel Chapter 210

The hand preparing to scan the payment code froze.

"What did you say?"

Associate replied, "Huh? I said it’s bad for the baby..."

"The sentence before that," Rhys demanded. "You said the first three months? Who told you that?"

"...Huh?" The associate was confused. "She said it herself. I saw her looking at newborn clothes and asked how far along she was. She personally said she was over two months."

Rhys's mind went blank for a second, the ringing in his ears intensifying.

Over two months?

He replayed recent events in his head.

Two months ago was exactly when the incident at the Harborview Hotel happened.

In the hospital, Clara said she lost the baby.

She hadn't let him touch her, insisting on being discharged, insisting on the divorce, blocking all his contact methods.

At the ultrasound room at Mercyvale Private Hospital, he had clearly seen that back profile, but Noah had stopped him, swearing on his life that the patient inside was his "fiancée."

On the day of the divorce, she had shielded her abdomen when getting into the car.

Countless details he had ignored pieced themselves together.

So... that figure really was Clara.

It wasn't a stomach ache; it was a protective instinct. She wasn't nauseated by him; it was morning sickness.

If the baby was gone, why would Clara visit a baby store and tell people she was two months pregnant?

She was lying to him.

To leave him, she had spun a massive web of lies, even going so far as to make him a "dead man" while carrying his child.

Clara, you are truly ruthless.

Rhys suddenly let out a laugh, his eyes reddening.

What was this?

Dump him but keep the baby?

The associate felt a chill run down her spine at his laugh and hugged the clothes tight, not daring to move. "S-Sir?"

He didn't respond. He turned and sprinted out of the store.

"Hey! Sir! Do you still want the clothes?"

Rhys didn't hear her.

He wrenched the car door open, his hands shaking. He took a moment to compose himself before tearing out of the parking garage and heading straight for Brighton City General Hospital.
