Chris’s face shifted in disbelief, his brows knitting together as the weight of Stephanie’s words hit him.

He stared at her, utterly stunned by her coldness.

His voice faltered slightly as he tried to explain. “She’s sick. Once she recovers, she’ll leave, and we’ll have a bigger wedding”

Chris’s face grew even darker, his voice hushed, almost desperate. “She’s not pregnant. She’s sick.”

Stephanie’s gaze was unwavering, cold as ice. “Sick? And you’re the one taking her to the hospital? Am I missing something?”

Her question hung in the air, sharp and unforgiving. Chris’s expression darkened further, and his fingers absently traced the edge of the desk.
