Chapter 105
Cynthia was already fed up and did not want to explain another. She thought it must be Mercury retrograde this month. Otherwise, why was everything going wrong?
Moses noticed something was off and asked, “What’s going on?”
“Just trust me,” Cynthia replied briefly.
Although Moses had his doubts, he did not ask further. Whatever the reason was, he would find out later.
The surgery was over an hour later, and Jayleen was sent to a regular ward.
The doctor explained the situation to Cynthia and Moses, “The patient lost the baby, and there are several abrasions on her body, but other than that, she’s okay.”
“Baby?” Moses was surprised. Then, he turned to look at the composed Cynthia, and he felt a little nervous for the first time. Was it Joshua’s baby?
Cynthia ignored Moses, only thanking the doctor, “Thank you, doctor.”
After that, she went to Jayleen’s ward.
Moses followed her, and he could not help but ask, “Is it Joshua’s?”
“I’m not sure,” Cynthia replied truthfully.
Although Joshua said he had never slept with Jayleen, no one but themselves knew the truth.
Moses remained quiet, thinking, ‘Uh oh. If it’s Joshua’s baby, things are not going to look good.‘
Then, Moses said, “I’m going to make a phone call. You can go ahead first, and I’ll be there soon.”
He had to get Joshua to come over and ask him face–to–face.
Cynthia knew he was going to call Joshua and did not stop him. After everything that had happened, she did not feel like dealing with anything anymore.
Five minutes later, Cynthia arrived at Jayleen’s room, and Jayleen had already woken up when she got there.
The nurse had just hung up her IV drip.
“Where’s Joshua?” Jayleen asked straight away.
Cynthia remained silent.
Jayleen was quite audacious to ask her that immediately.
“Earlier, the person who hit me with the car was the pretty boy you found behind Joshua’s back, right? What if I tell him that your new man hit me to vent his anger toward you? What would happen then?” Jayleen spoke quietly, but her eyes were fixed on Cynthia.
Cynthia frowned in confusion.
Did Jayleen not know Moses?
“I don’t want to set you up, but I won’t rest easy until you’ve completely fallen out with Joshua. I have to be with him, and he can only be with me,” Jayleen said.
“The car has a dashcam,” Cynthia said with a straight face.
Jayleen smiled. “Do you think Joshua will believe your dashcam over my words?”
With her injuries and the baby in her womb, Jayleen knew that Joshua’s protective instincts would be triggered. However, she never expected to get pregnant from that encounter with that person before returning to Jiverton…
Jayleen could not keep this child, and even if Joshua thought it was the result of her being taken advantage of at the hotel and did not mind, she could not take the risk of him finding out later.
The best way to solve this problem was to use Cynthia to her advantage, killing two birds with one stone.
Cynthia showed no emotional response, not even the slightest bit of anger. Joshua would surely believe Jayleen’s words; he had already dismissed previous evidence against her as false and would likely think the dashcam footage was also fake.
“Don’t you fear that the car won’t stop and end up killing or injuring you?” Cynthia asked calmly.
