I gave Albert an annoyed look and replied sharply, âIâm really not in the mood for jokes right now.
â
Albertâs smile faded, and he turned serious.
âI understand youâre upset, but for the abortion, Alexandria herself must agree to it.
Even as the pack leader, you canât make that decision for her.
â
This news made me frown; I hadnât anticipated such complications.
Leaving the doctorâs office, I was left with a headache.
I sat alone in the hospital corridor, waiting for Alexandria to be brought out.
After a short time, the door to the examination room swung open.
The nurse wheeled Alexandria into the ward, and I followed them in.
Once everything was set, the medical staff left, leaving just the two of us alone in the room.
When Alexandria caught sight of me, a flicker of surprise crossed her face.
âCaleb, I knew you wouldnât abandon me and our baby.
Does your presence mean you donât despise us after all?â
With an expressionless face, I shattered her hopes bluntly and said in a stern voice, âYouâre mistaken.
Iâm not going to keep the child.
You should get an abortion because I wonât accept the child even if you go through with the birth.
â
Alexandria instinctively protected her belly, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed.
âNo, how can you be so heartless? This is our child.
I love you so much.
Is it wrong to want to keep our child?â
Her crying gave me a headache.
I find it unbearable to deal with women who were as fragile and tearful as Alexandria.
I couldnât even recall how I ended up in bed with her.
Was I out of my mind when I was drunk?
I sighed out of irritation, then fixed a cold gaze on Alexandria.
âYou should have considered that before you tricked me.
Donât think using the child will bring you any closer to me.
â
Right after I left the hospital, I noticed Carlos a short distance away, his face filled with concern.
Upon seeing me, Carlos quickly approached and said, âIâm sorry.
I share part of the blame for what happened.
It was my fault that night.
I should have stayed by your side.
If I had been there, I wouldnât have let Alexandria take advantage of you.
â
I gestured with my hand, showing my irritation and signaling him to drop the subject.
I understood that Carlos was different from Alexandria, and I did not want to drag him into this mess.
With a frown, I said to him, âYou donât need to apologize.
But now, I need you to do something discreetly.
â
âOf course, Caleb.
Iâll do whatever I can,â Carlos responded without hesitation.
I said without emotion, âFind a way to obtain a sample of Alexandriaâs blood.
I want to conduct a paternity test with the child.
â
Calebâs POV:
Shock flickered across Carlosâ face.
âAre you suspecting the child isnât yours? But Alexandriaâs always been so selective, never even having a boyfriendâ¦â
My reply came out as a sneer.
âSo, even you think Iâm some irresponsible jerk?â
