Chapter 443 Kelly Confronts Patrick

Early in the morning, Patrick's driver arrived to pick up Kelly and Shawn.

"Mr. Shawn, Ms. Kelly, City Hall is now open. The driver knocked on the door.

Patrick was growing impatient.

"Kelly has a stomachache. I'm taking her to the hospital first," Shawn said with a frown, signaling the driver to step aside.

The driver glanced at the bodyguards accompanying him and blocked Shawn. "Mr. Shawn, no matter what, you should get the marriage certificate first."

"My stomach hurts..." Kelly leaned against the couch, her voice weak and strained.

Shawn angrily looked at the driver. "What do you mean? Tell Dad to call me himself! Right now, Kelly's health comes first. If something happens to her or the baby, will you take responsibility?"

The driver hesitated, eyeing Kelly clutching her stomach in pain. After a moment, he relented. "Fine. I'll take you to the hospital, but get checked quickly. You still need to go to City Hall afterward."

Shawn snorted and carried Kelly to the car.

Throughout the ride, the driver kept calling Patrick for instructions. However, Patrick had been taken in for questioning overnight and wasn't answering.

With no orders from Patrick, the driver had no choice but to take them to the hospital first.

After an examination, Kelly was admitted and had to stay for at least three days.

That meant that even if Patrick was released, he wouldn't be able to do anything for now.

"There's only a 48-hour window for questioning. When Patrick gets out, he'll be furious," Shawn muttered, slicing an apple for Kelly. "He's naturally suspicious. He probably already has doubts. Do you have a plan?"

Kelly remained silent, leaning back against the pillows.
