The One He Dismissed Became The One He Died For novel Chapter 132

"How could you be so cruel? The baby is still so small; the risk is too high!"

The hospital room door was wide open, and a crowd had gathered in the hallway, whispering furiously.

"Wow, Dr. Zimmerman is so heartless!"

"Such a hypocrite. He's a rich young master, after all; a leopard never changes its spots."

"That is just too cold..."

A crisp, clear voice suddenly cut through the crowd.

"That's enough."

Claire Jenner walked into the room.

All eyes instantly locked onto her.

Seeing her, Vivian cried even harder. "It's because of you that Miles won't take responsibility, isn't it?"

"If you insist on clinging to him, I can abort this child and let you two be together."

Vivian looked agonizingly pained as she sobbed. "But Miles, you can't just disown your own flesh and blood."

Looks of contempt and rejection immediately zeroed in on Claire.

Miles instinctively stepped forward, shielding her behind him.

Claire let out a soft laugh. "Vivian, drop the act."

She pulled her phone from her pocket, tapped the screen, and played a video.

It was surveillance footage from the hallway at the international summit.

In the frame, Vivian was supporting a disoriented Miles, clearly intending to take him to a hotel room. After she disappeared, Claire arrived and took Miles away.

"No, this video has to be fake."

"I slept with Miles that night! We did it multiple times!"

Claire stared at her coldly. "Are you sure that man was Miles Zimmerman?"

Beside her, Director Langford's face instantly darkened.

Claire let the video continue.

Director Langford's face turned ash-gray. "You... you disgraceful daughter! You're out of your mind!"

He thought they could latch onto the powerful Zimmerman family tree, but the child wasn't even theirs.

He had brought in so many industry experts. After today, his reputation would be the laughingstock of the entire city!

In front of everyone, Claire confidently slipped her arm through Miles's, arching a delicate brow.

That single gesture made everything crystal clear.

Claire Jenner and Dr. Zimmerman were the real couple!

Claire sweetened her voice playfully. "Dr. Zimmerman, now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, let's go."

Miles paused briefly, but he didn't pull away, letting Claire hold his arm intimately.

The two of them walked out of the ward.

Back in his office, as soon as the door clicked shut, Miles withdrew his arm.

"Are you done acting?"
