Chapter 186

The phone was silent for a few seconds before Jordyn’s voice, trembling with tears, broke through. “I know, but I don’t know who else to turn to… I’m sorry Fll find a way myself and won’t bother you anymore

With that, Jordyn hung up.

Clark furrowed his brow, frustration surging within him. He appreciated Jordyn’s gentle and understanding nature, but he didn’t want to be entangled with her family. If he got involved now, they’d come to him with every problem in the future. He wasn’t running a charity.

However, considering that she was still carrying his child, he felt he should at least help handle the situation.

After a moment of hesitation, Clark finally put on his suit jacket and left.

Upstairs, after Nyla finished her shower, she heard the sound of a car engine starting outside. Pausing mid -motion, she walked to the window and saw Clark’s car driving away.

She drew her gaze back, dried her hair, and completed her skincare routine before going to bed.

When Clark arrived at the hospital, he found Jordyn sitting outside the operating room, trembling uncontrollably. Beside her sat a middle–aged woman, her face etched with worry, her hair streaked with gray–clearly someone worn down by a hard life.

Clark approached and asked coldly, “What’s going on?”

Jordyn looked up with red, tear–filled eyes and instinctively threw herself into his arms. “Clark… He had an accident while bringing me something… The doctors say it’s very serious. I’m so scared…” Clark frowned, patting her back. “Calm down. Let’s wait until the surgery is over.”

my dad….

uest then, an angry voice echoed. “What are you doing?!”

Clark and Jordyn turned to see Harrison storming toward them, his face red with fury.

Wren, who was behind him, tried to hold him back but failed.

Harrison reached Clark and slapped him hard across the face.

Clark didn’t flinch, though the slap left a clear mark.

Jordyn was taken aback. “Clark…”

Harrison’s face flushed with anger, his whole body trembling. “Clark, how did you promise me you would treat my daughter when you married her? And now, here you are with another woman, hugging and comforting her in the middle of the night. How can you face my daughter?”

He had been puzzled about why Nyla had been so dejected lately and had moved out on her own. It all made sense now. Clark was cheating!

The thought of Nyla suffering so much while still putting on a brave face and hiding her pain made Harrison’s heart ache.

“Dad, it’s not what you think. Let me explain,” Clark pleaded.

Harrison’s eyes were icy. “I’ll call Nyla over. You can explain everything to us in front of her!”

Harrison began to dial Nyla with trembling hands, but Clark snatched the phone away.

“Dad, I know you’re angry. She’s my secretary. Her father is having surgery right now. I was just comforting her,” Clark said, trying to sound convincing.

Clark needed to find a way to calm Harrison down, or else he’d be left without any support if Nyla decided to divorce him.

Harrison wasn’t buying it.

What kind of employer would visit the hospital in the middle of the night to comfort his secretary while her father was in surgery? And why would he be hugging her instead of simply talking to her?
