Chloe frowned but answered the call anyway.

Lucas's slurred voice came through the line, "Chloe, did you call me? Sorry, I missed it."

He continued rambling, "It's been years since you last called me. I'm thrilled, Chloe..."

Chloe's voice was steady and calm, "Linda had a miscarriage. She's at Ryan General Hospital in the maternity ward." Lucas snapped out of his haze instantly, "What? Say that again!"

Chloe hung up without another word.

A smirk tugged at her lips.

As a father, he was definitely dropping the ball.

She'd mentioned the miscarriage on purpose.

He had it coming.

Leaving the hospital, Chloe found herself at a loss for where to go next.
