Chapter 186

As Jason posed his question, the doctor’s complexion shifted in the blink of an eye. Jason trusted Dr. Lee and brought Estrella to seek his help, only to find out that he had been deceived.

With a sheepish look at Jason, Dr. Lee said, “Look, Jason, your dad and I go way back, but I owed Estrella a favor. She got to me first, and I couldn’t put her off. Besides, this sort of thing can’t stay under wraps for long, so I agreed to help her out.”

He paused, then added with sincerity, “Estrella is indeed pregnant.”

He hadn’t wanted to say yes to Estrella. Dr. Lee had been torn about it, and he’d heard rumors of trouble between her and Jason. Thinking she wanted to protect the baby, he’d eventually caved. After all, what mother wouldn’t fight tooth and nail for her child, especially one she’d tried so hard to

Conceive?

Acknowledging that Estrella had beaten him to the punch, Jason shoved his hands into his pockets and turned away, too fuming mad to find the words. He’d been outsmarted by Estrella. She had everything prepared from the moment she knew she was pregnant, and had all her bases covered with the hospitals. No wonder she was so adamant about getting a divorce.

If he’d known about the pregnancy sooner, he wouldn’t have agreed to her business trip, or stood her up that day.

Jason’s eyes reddened, and without a word, he got into his car and drove away. Subsequently, he pulled out his phone and called Drew, “Drew, find out which hospital Estrella’s at.”

“Ms. Estrella’s in the hospital?” Drew sounded shocked on the other end, then quickly added, “Right away, Mr. Jason, I’m on it.”

After tossing his phone aside with a sigh, Jason gripped the steering wheel, his eyes still red. He couldn’t bear to think about Estrella losing the baby, but considering her fall, he consoled himself-they were young, there’d be more chances.

But the guilt of not being there for Estrella when she needed him most, especially when he was with Holly, gnawed at him.

And what suffocated him was the thought that for a whole week, Estrella hadn’t said a word to him, nor had he sought her out.
