Chapter 253 The Child is Martin's
The words "marry you" echoed in Patricia's ears, leaving her mind buzzing, a blank slate.
God knows how much it hurt to say those words. But what pained her even more was Martin.
But what pained her even more was Martin.
Suddenly, she found her previous persistence laughable.
Martin wasn't worth her affection.
What she didn't know was that Martin, upon hearing those three words, felt a pain so intense it was as if his heart had been gouged out.
A hollow feeling in his chest, he could no longer feel his heart beating.
Only Hunter, upon hearing her words, trembled with joy,. aAfraid she'd change her mind, andhe said eagerly, "Patricia, since you've agreed, you can't go back on it now. I won't give you the chance tolet you."
Patricia's heart was filled with bitterness, and tears ran down her face.
"I won't go back on my word. I'm feeling unwell and am currently in the maternity ward at Ivara City Hospital, VIP Room 1. Could you come and take care of me?"
"What? You're hospitalized? Rest well, I'll be right there!"
After grabbing his coat and car keys from the coffee table, heHunter dashed out.
After ending the call, Patricia, with tear-blurred eyes, turned to Martin, "Mr. Langley, are you satisfied. "Happy now? Is this what you wanted?"
Martin clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, drawing blood.
Patricia didn't want to see him anymore and coldly dismissed him.
"Mr. Langley, . "I appreciate you bringing me here, Martin, but my fiancé will be here soon.
Please leave to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings."
"Then you rest well!"
With all the strength he could muster, Martin uttered his farewell before leaving. , "Get well soon." Then, he turned to leave.
With each step, his strength drained away.
When he finally left the ward, his body could no longer bear it, and he collapsed onto a bench outside, numb and without sensation.
.. He sat there, staring blankly at the passerby in the corridor, the very image of desolation.
Just then, his shoulder was suddenly slapped hard, and a surprised voice filled with delight sounded above Martin.
"Alan, what a coincidence! What are you doing here?"
Martin looked up, following the voice. A cute, doll-faced girl came into view.
A cute doll-faced girl came into view.
It was Eva Green, the girl he almost hitran over that morning.
She wore a red and white checkered mid-length coat paired with black high heels, outlining her graceful figure. Her natural curly hair was tied in a high bun, adorned with a hair clip matching her clothes, making her look pure and pretty, yet lively and youthful.
She was smiling at him, her eyes curved like crescents, revealing teethrevealing pearly white as pearlsteeth.
Seeing he didn't reply, Eva Green pouted, feigning anger,. "Hey, I'm talking to you, why don't. Why aren't you answering? That's so rude."
Martin glanced at her indifferently, stood up, and headed towards the elevator.
Eva Green, having finally encountered him, wasn't about to let him go easily and quickly followed, muttering to herself, "Do you think meeting twice in one day is fate?"
From a young age, Martin was accustomed to such advances and didn't bother to reply.
"Hey, why aren't you talking? Do you also feel we're fated?"
Martin watched the elevator numbers change, still silent.
Eva Green persisted, "Come on, say something! If I hadn't heard you speak this morning, I'd think you were mute!"
Martin still ignoredcontinued to ignore her.
"Did I tell you my name this morning? I'm Eva Green."
Eva Green asked tentatively, "What's. Anyway, what's a man like you doing in the maternity ward? Is your girlfriend sick, or is it your mother?"
Seeing he didn't answer, she wasn't discouraged,. "Hey, you don't have a girlfriend, do you?"
After saying that, she boldly looked him over from head to toe. "Judging by your age, you must be almost thirty, right? , the more she looked, the more she felt it was possible.Thirty is the prime of a man's life; surely, you're not thinking of getting married, are you?"
"Judging by your age, you must be almost thirty, right? Thirty is the prime of a man's life; surely you're not thinking of getting married?"
Martin, annoyed by her incessant chatter, felt as if countless sparrowsbirds were chirping in his ear, non-stop.
"Is your wife hospitalized here? Which ward is she in? Are you going to buy her food?" Eva Green continued to pester him.
SeeminglyIt seemed she would not stopping until she got an answer.
Martin, frustrated, shot her a sidelong glance and stepped into the elevator without hesitation as soon as the doors opened.
Eva Green tried to follow.
, but Martin cut her off,. "I have things to do. Stop following me."
Eva Green, as if oblivious to his brush-off,Eva frowned and asked, "Where are you going?
It's lunchtime;. dDoesn't your boss give you time to eat? That's harsh..."
"It's none of your business!"
With that, he pressed the elevator button.
Watching the elevator doors slowly close, Eva Green pouted, not ready to give up,
. "Hey, we haven't discussed compensation yet!"
"Call the number on the card."
In the last moment before the elevator doors shut, Martin's chilly voice floated through the diminishing gap., "Call the number on the card."
Eva Green immediately took out her phone and dialed the number on the card.
The call connected quickly, and a detached voice said "hello" on the other end.
"Alan, it's me, Eva Green, hehe..." !" She giggled.
Alan frowned, "How do you. "Do I know my name? Who's Eva Greenyou?"
Eva Green was frustrated, "Hey, we just parted less than a minute ago, and you've already forgotten my name..."."
If she hadn't been able to callcalled out his name, Alan would have hung up by now.
"Sorry, I've been in the office since nine this morning and haven't gone out. Where did you see me?"
Eva Green was dumbfounded, "…??" .
What'sWhat was going on?
Why does something feel off?
...
Hunter rushed to the hospital as fast as he could.
Seeing Patricia's pale little face, he felt extremely distressed and guilty,. "I'm sorry, you're unwell, andyet I still asked you to cook for me."
Patricia shook her head indifferently,. "It's nothing,; I can be discharged tomorrow."
Hunter asked, "What's wrong? Why are you hospitalized? Is it serious?"
Patricia didn't answer his question, softly saying, "Hunter, about that phone call earlier, actually..."
She wanted to tell Hunterexplain that she had only used him temporarily to anger Martin and hoped he wouldn't be upset. to apologize for any hurt feelings.
Hunter, sensing her intention, took her hand first,. "I'm very happy."
Patricia looked at him directly, "Hmm?"
Hunter smiled gently, "Do you know? I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"
He hugged Patricia gently, not giving her a chance to change her mind, and continued,
. "I told you, I won't givelet you a chance to regret itgo back on your words."
His preemptive move made it impossiblehard for Patricia to voice her thoughts.
ButHowever, she knew that if things continued like this, they would surely spiral out of control.
She had to hardenhardened her heart, pushed him away, and gathered the courage to say, "I'm pregnant, and the child is Martin's—"."
