Chapter 179 No Baby
Nathan looked at her, brows slightly drawn. “What’s going on?”
Elena didn’t bother easing into it. She leaned back in her chair, studying his reaction like she already knew how this would land. “Camille isn’t pregnant.”
She watched the shock hit him, slow but unmistakable, and the corner of her lips lifted. “Yeah, I figured that’d catch you off guard. There’s no baby, Nathan. Not yours, not anyone’s. You and Victoria have been getting played this whole time.”
Nathan shook his head almost immediately, like rejecting it outright would make it false. “That’s not possible. She had a checkup yesterday. I saw the ultrasound myself.”
Camille not being pregnant didn’t make sense.
If that were true, Elena wouldn’t even consider getting back together with him. And if Charles found out, he would lose the last piece of leverage he had left.
Elena tilted her head slightly, her tone calm but precise. “Her doctor, tall, skinny, w right?”
She didn’t wait for him to answer before continuing. “And that ultrasound report, he han to you personally, didn’t he? No nurse, no system upload, just straight to you.”
Nathan’s expression tightened.
Elena let out a soft, almost amused breath. “Nathan, if she were actually pregnant, if she really wanted to lock you in with a baby, why would she run straight into a fire scene just to compete with me for a story? You really think that lines up?”
Only now did the inconsistencies start clicking into place.
Nathan’s face shifted, disbelief giving way to something darker.
He grabbed the water pitcher, poured himself a glass, and drank it in one go, but it did nothing to settle the surge of anger building in his chest.
This time, he didn’t even think about asking Elena to get back together. He grabbed his suit jacket and strode out of the restaurant, his expression stormy.
Camille was still at the hospital, but she looked nothing like a patient in distress.
Without Nathan hovering over her, she was perfectly at ease, leaning back against the pillows with her legs crossed, casually snacking on cherries like she was on a lazy afternoon break.

She bad juse thisbol one when her phone rang.
The moment sans saw the caller ID, her voice softened instantly, sweet and cloying. “Hey babe, when are you coming? I miss you…”
Nathan’s voice cans through, low and flat. “Come home. Now.”
Camille paused, the tbherry still between her fingers. “I’m still admitted though.”
There was something chabout his tone, colder than usual, like something was already decided.
Just come back.” Nathans sidd. “I’ll have the driver pick you up.”
…Okay.”
She didn’t push it.
Half an hour later, the driver arrived. Camille had already packed up her things.
After getting into the car, sheddanced forward slightly. “Hey, did something ha today?”
The driver shook his head. “Not that I know of. Sir just told me to pick you up.”
Alright, let’s go.”
She sat back, trying to calm herself bbut the unease wouldn’t leave.
Why does this feel so wrong…?
The car pulled into the Hawthorne estate notdong after. Camille stepped inside, and the moment she saw the living room, she frooze.
Dad? Mom? What are you doing here?”
Richard and Catherine were sitting on the coouch, their expressions stiff, like they had been
waiting.

Chapter 1 No Baby
A pregnancy test.
Did he find out? No, that’s impossible. I had everything covered. Even the ultrasound…
Nathan’s fingers tightened slightly, his voice turning cold. “You don’t want to take it?”

Panic surged through her chest. She bit her lip and discreetly pinched her thigh, forcing tears into her eyes.
