Chapter 882

With anticipation, Madelyn picked up the phone and greeted, “Hi, Mya.”

Mya’s choked sobs came through the line. “Madelyn…

Sensing the distress in her friend’s voice, Madelyn exchanged a glance with Zach, and stepped out of their flower room into a quieter area. She asked, “What’s happened? You sound upset.”

Stammering, Mya finally managed to speak. “I-I-I think I might be pregnant, Madelyn.”

“Pregnant?” Madelyn couldn’t believe her ears. “How could you be pregnant? What’s really going on, Mya?”

Mya was at her home in Harper residence. She held a soft, plush bunny close to her chest, her face buried in its fur, and said, “Madelyn, I got intimate with Fred. Now, I think there’s a baby in me.”

Madelyn felt like the breath had been knocked out of her. She said, “Mya, this isn’t something to joke about. You really did that with him?”

Mya’s voice was muffled. “He deceived me, Madelyn. He’s a bad man.”

Madelyn took a moment to absorb Mya’s confession, her thoughts immediately darkened. ‘What’s in the mind of that scoundrel to trick an innocent girl like Mya?’

“First thing you need to do is get to a hospital for a checkup, Mya,” Madelyn advised. “See if you’re really pregnant. Don’t panic just yet. It might be nothing.”

“But… I’ve missed my period for a while now,” Mya confessed.

“How long?” Madelyn asked.

“A good while, Madelyn. What should I do if I’m pregnant? I can’t let my parents find out. I’ve only told you about this.”

“I’ll accompany you to the hospital for a checkup. Let’s hang up for now.”

Zach approached Madelyn, gently tucking a beautiful peony flower behind her ear. He asked, “What did Mya say?”

For the first time since they had met, Madelyn turned away from Zach, anger clouding her face. She tossed the flower aside and said, “If you can’t keep your promises, don’t make them in the first place.

Liar!

Madelyn stomped away, crushing the flower beneath her foot.

Zach felt a bit surprised. ‘Is she really giving me attitude now? Well, that’s okay. It’s good she can still show her feelings, even if it’s directed at me. She’s got quite a temper.’

Zach grabbed his phone and called Kevin.

Kevin, who was busy at Jardin Corporation, handed his cup of water to his assistant, Blake, and stepped out to take the call. “Yes, Sir.”

“What’s happened with Mya?” Zach’s voice came through the phone, crisp and serious.

Kevin’s face turned solemn. He said, “Sir, I was about to report this to you. Mr. Turner has taken an interest in Ms. Harper. Not too long ago, he took her from a restaurant to a hotel when she was all drunk. Our men reached there, but it was too late.”

“And when did he start showing interest in her?” Zach’s voice hardened. “Find out every detail about them.

Kevin replied, “Yes, Sir.”
