But deep down, she couldn’t let it go. Her gaze smoldered with resentment as she looked at Jamie. She and Ryan had been together for five years.She had brought up marriage more than once, craving the stability of a home together, but every time, he had brushed it off, saying he wasn’t ready to be tied down. She had believed him. It wasn’t until she saw Jamie that she understood that not ready was just an excuse. He simply hadn’t found the person he truly wanted to marry. If Jamie had been the one to suggest marriage, Ryan would have jumped at the chance, probably grinning like a fool.Let’s go. Do you really want the hospital to call security on you? Ryan tugged her arm again. This is a hospital, not your personal drama stage. Enough is enough. Her? Overreacting? Was she the cause of all this?If Ryan hadn’t taken the day off to come here, if he hadn’t been in touch with Jamie, none of this would have happened. She was the one hurt in all this, wasn’t she?Her stomach churned with frustration, but one look at Ryan’s exasperated face silenced her. What was the point of saying anything? He clearly didn’t see his own fault and would only see her as irrational.In his eyes, she was the one making a scene, with nothing to show for it except the reputation of being a troublemaker.Meanwhile, Winnie clutched Ben’s arm tightly, her voice tinged with worry. Jack, she was about to come at us! Now my stomach hurts. I’m scared. Do you think the baby’s okay?Winnie and Jamie didn’t come from an easy background. Though they had parents, they were better off alone.Their father was a gambler, their mother took but her rage on everything around her. From a young age, Winnie had promised herself she would do better for her own kids, to be a mother who would bring them up in a stable, lovingfamily. She had finally built her own little home, and Jack was a wonderful partner. If something happened to her baby…She’s pregnant? The woman’s face turned pale as she heard this.There were security cameras in thehallway, and if anything did happen to the baby, she would be responsible. And with a lawyer acetthe baby’s father, the financial hit Chuge. Panic seizing her, she turned and gripped Ryan’s arm, pulling him away as fast as she could. Watching them flee, Winnie was fuming. They come, they make a scene, and then just leave when they feel like it? How can they just get away with that?Let’s check on the baby first. It’s the priority, Ben said, guiding her to the floor below for an examination.Before they left, he glanced at Jamie, who quickly fell in step with them, concern written all over her face. She knew that if anything happened to Winnie, it would be her fault for getting her mixed up in this. After checking in, Winnie headed off to get examined while Jamie and Ben waited in the hallway.

At least have some basic decency, Ben sneered, his words meant to cut deep. Throwing yourself at someone else’s man and dragging your sister down with you. What am I supposed to say? It’s like a pattern with you. Anyone who’s good to you ends up paying for it. Back then, it was me, and now it’s Winnie. His voice was cold, laced with bitterness.His mistake, he thought, had been loving Jamie too much, putting her on a pedestal. When she had left without a word, it was that blind devotion that had made his loss feel unbearable.
