Chapter 384
Jane hurried out. When she saw her granddaughter, her eyes crinkled into a huge smile. “Sweetheart, Grandma missed you so much! Come here, give Grandma a hug.”
Brynlee threw herself into Jane’s arms, wrapping her little hands around her neck affectionately. Kaia watched them, her mood brightening. This was the epitome of happiness-an ordinary afternoon with a warm, loving family.
Just then, her phone buzzed.
Kaia glanced down. It was her lawyer, Quinn Finch.
“Mom, watch her for a second. I need to take this.”
Kaia stepped away to a quieter spot. “Mr. Finch.”
Quinn’s voice came through the speaker, heavier than usual. “Dr. Chavez, I have results.”
“What did you find?” Kaia’s grip on the phone tightened.
“Noelle Lawrence was rushed into the ER at Mercy General Hospital, the closest one to her apartment, around 8:30 this morning,” Quinn reported.
He paused before adding, “I had my assistant stake out the area for two days. We got these.”
A moment later, several photos pinged onto Kaia’s phone.
She turned the screen horizontally to look. In the first photo, taken outside the hospital entrance, Finnian was carrying Noelle in his arms, sprinting toward the ER. Noelle was leaning against his chest, her face pale, her eyes squeezed shut.
Kaia instantly understood why Finnian had been late. His precious sister-in-law had an emergency again.

In the second photo, Finnian was standing outside the emergency room. Every line of his body was coiled with tension-he looked exactly like a husband terrified for his wife.
The third photo showed Noelle being transferred to a VIP suite. Finnian was walking alongside the gurney, his eyes locked on the unconscious
woman.
“Thank you, Mr. Finch. These photos are crucial for the divorce filing,” Kaia said, her voice steady.
Quinn’s tone softened with a trace of sympathy. “My assistant confirmed it. Noelle Lawrence is pregnant.”
Kaia closed her eyes. Suspecting it was one thing; having it confirmed was another.
Hearing nothing but silence on the line, Quinn asked gently, “Dr. Chavez, are you alright?”
Kaia opened her eyes. The bright sunlight in the courtyard suddenly
stung.
“Please keep watching her, Mr. Finch. Keep digging.”
Quinn agreed, and Kaia hung up.
Just then, she spotted Finnian’s car approaching down the street.
Clutching her phone, Kaia marched toward it. Seeing her, Finnian had Dexter pull over.
Kaia knocked on the window. Finnian rolled it down and looked up at her.
Staring down at him, her voice was glacial. “My parents didn’t prepare food for you. Please leave, Mr. Sanders.”
Finnian’s handsome face froze.
Kaia didn’t waste another word. She turned on her heel and walked away.

Dexter looked utterly shocked. He glanced back at his boss’s taut Expression. “Mr. Sanders, should we…”
“Drive. Back to the office,” Finnian ordered as he rolled the window up. Dexter swiftly made a U-turn and drove off.
When Kaia returned to the dining room, Jane was already serving Brynlee a bowl of soup. Seeing Kaia walk in alone, Jane shot her a worried look.
Kaia simply walked over and said to Brynlee, “Dad had an emergency at work. He can’t make it. Let’s eat.”
“Oh,” Brynlee murmured, a little pout forming. “Is Dad really that busy? He’s skipping lunch?”
Kaia saw the disappointment on her daughter’s face. She wanted to say something, but ultimately kept her mouth shut.
After lunch, Warren took Brynlee out to play at the school playground. Kaia sat alone in the courtyard as a few more messages arrived from
Quinn.
“I tracked down her OB/GYN. It’s Dr. Linnea Jensen, a top expert in the field. Noelle is her patient.”
“Her admission was recorded as a Threatened Miscarriage. She’s been put on strict bed rest.”
“She’s on the sixth floor. Room 607, a VIP suite.”
