Chapter 59

He wore a beige casual suit that accentuated his tall and elegant figure, exuding warmth and refinement.

He smiled gently. “A friend is hospitalized, so I came to visit.”

“Oh, I see.”

“And what about you? Why are you here alone at the hospital?”

I raised the medical report in my hand. “I came to pick up my health examination report.”

Jack’s expression became serious. “Everything alright?

“Yes.”

I had just undergone a company health check, and this time, like the last, everything was within normal

range.

Except that there was a child in my womb now.

Jack nodded. “Have you eaten yet? How about we grab a bite together? Tom and Jane will also be joining

us.”

He had probably added the second sentence to avoid suspicion.

I rubbed my stomach, feeling a bit hungry, “Sure.”

I didn’t know what to eat if I went home alone.

Besides, with more people around, it wouldn’t be so easy to get lost in thoughts.

Jack handed the car over to his assistant to drive back, then rode with me to the restaurant they had

chosen.

It was a restaurant that served roast lamb.

The storefront was low–key, tucked away in a corner of an alley, yet the business was thriving.

Many cars were parked at the entrance of the alley, causing a heavy traffic jam.

We had to park outside and walk in. Jane and Tom had already arrived.

Seeing me, Jane was surprised and cocked her brows. “You’re here, I thought you were busy tonight.”

“Yeah, I happened to run into Jack.”

Jane’s eyes sharpened as she leaned close and asked in a low voice, “No success?”

“He didn’t give me a chance to tell him.”

“What happened?”

“Jessica is pregnant.”

“How did she get pregnant?”

Jane had been speaking quietly, but now she couldn’t control herself. She raised her voice and both Tom and Jack looked over.

Jane then shifted her anger to Tom. “See, you men are all the same.”

“My lady, what’s going on?” Tom was bewildered.

Jane held my hand and asked Tom, “Do you know about Jessica’s pregnancy?”

“Jessica? Pregnant?”

Tom looked even more shocked, and after recovering, he said, “I had no idea!”

“Didn’t you invite him today?” asked Jane.

“I did.”

“Then where is he?”

Tom’s eyes darted around, avoiding both me and Jane. Finally, under Jane’s piercing gaze, he reluctantly betrayed his best friend. “Jessica tried to commit suicide because of rumors at the company, so…”

“She’s already cut her wrists.” I cut off his words.

Jane’s lips twitched. “The kind that heals in three minutes if not taken to the hospital?”

I remembered Ryan covered in blood and looked down. “It should be deep, she lost quite a lot of blood.”

“Tsk.” Jane clicked her tongue. “She’s relentless. At this rate, it’s hard for Ryan to shake her off, especially now that she’s pregnant…”

“Shame on you, don’t spout nonsense.” Tom still had some loyalty left and tried to defend Ryan. “It can’t possibly be Ryan’s child.”

“What, did you help them put on the condom?”

Jane’s words were shocking, but luckily Jack had gone to the restroom, and both Tom and I were used to her way of speaking.

“No, they shouldn’t have slept together,” said Tom.

“Then all those nights when Ryan didn’t come home, were spent with you?”

Jane didn’t believe Tom.

There was a bitter feeling in my heart.

“You’re unbelievable!” Tom rarely stood firm in front of Jane. He then turned to look at me. “Charlotte don’t listen to her nonsense! Ryan’s innocence is beyond doubt!”
