When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 328

Chapter 328 

Elliot took his leave after dinner.

He wanted to drop by the hospital to see Shea.

The other Foster family members also left soon after.

Once Rosalie retired to her room, Cole opened up the door to Zoe’s room.

Zoe had been staying at the old mansion since her pregnancy became public.

“You’re amazing, Doctor Sanford!” Cole exclaimed after he entered the room and shut the door behind him. “You actually managed to handle someone as difficult as my uncle! Should I start calling you Aunt Zoe soon?”

The smile Zoe wore was elegant and calm as she said, “Of course. Once we’re engaged, I would be his fiance. What’s the difference between a fiance and a wife?”

“Congratulations! It’s just…” Cole said as a look of concern appeared on his face. “Is there a way to make sure my uncle doesn’t suspect the baby you’re carrying? After all, we have to depend on the kid to get my uncle’s inheritance!”

Zoe’s face changed as she said, “There’s no way I’m letting this child live!”

A wave of gloom washed over Cole’s face.

“The moment this child is born, your uncle will definitely insist on a paternity test,” Zoe said coldly. “If the results show that the baby isn’t his, he’ll surely break up with me! You’d be done for, too!”

Cole’s lips trembled as he said, “That’s why I’m asking if there’s a way to change the results on the paternity test.”

“There isn’t! Unless he lets me carry out the test! He won’t let me do that! He’s always been wary of me and searching for other doctors that can help Shea… He’ll kick me to the curb once he manages to find someone else,” Zoe said as her emotions ran wild.

Cole patted her on the shoulder and said, “He hasn’t found anyone else, right? You really are amazing, Doctor Sanford! Both surgeries were successes. It’s no wonder my uncle would change his mind and agree to get engaged to you. I would marry you if it were me.”

Zoe was startled back to reality.

She shoved Cole’s hand away, then glared at him with a look of disgust and snapped, “Get out if there’s nothing else! Don’t come into my room ever again!”

“Okay… You said you didn’t want to keep the baby, so how do you plan on getting rid of it?” Cole asked as he gazed at Zoe’s protruding belly with complicated emotions.

“You’ll find out when it happens!”

Zoe was setting up her chess pieces.

The next day, the news of the upcoming engagement between Elliot Foster and Zoe Sanford spread through the entire Avonsville.
