#Chapter 150 – Selene Learns the Truth

 

The moment the car door closes and Lila is secured in her carseat, I demand, alright, we’re in the car. Now tell me what’s going on.”

“Selene.” Donovan sighs, “I’m sorry if we got your hopes up but we haven’t heard from Bastien.”

“But-” I object, replaying our conversation in the hospital over in my head, “Aiden said the orders were coming directly from him.”

“We didn’t know you’d gone back to Dr. Kane.” Donovan explains gravely. “Bastien told us before he left that he doesn’t want you anywhere near the man.”

“Now tell her why.” Drake instructs grumpily. “Honestly, how do you expect her to know she’s supposed to stay away from people if you don’t tell her.”

“Bastien told her when he was here.” Aiden argues.

“Bastien wanted to switch doctors because Thomas helped me hide my first pregnancy from him.” I remind him, “That was his problem, not mine.”

“That isn’t the reason.” Donovan informs me grimly. “I’m sorry Selene, but there’s a chance that Thomas is actually the one behind all of our troubles here.”

“What?!” | exclaim, “What are you talking about?”

I listen in horror as they explain all the clues pointing to Dr Kane, glancing at Lila every five seconds to make sure she’s not listening to our conversation. Luckily my pup is too preoccupied watching the world fly by out the window to focus on boring grown up talk.

“You‘re saying that Thomas might not be Thomas at all?” I summarize when they’re finished, “You’re saying he might be Frederic? And every time I’ve thought he’s helping me…” I trail off, unable to finish such a horrible thought.
