Chapter 65 Hypocrisy

Explaining one thing already strained Freya's patience; the thought of addressing

a second issue made her shoulders tense.

This month seemed cursed; misfortune followed her at every turn.

Liam tilted his head, his expression sharpening with concern. "What's going on?"

“Just trust me,” Freya responded, her voice deliberately steady.

Though confusion flickered across Liam's face, he respected her enough not to press further. The truth would reveal itself eventually.

The surgery concluded an hour later.

Medical staff transferred Ashley to a recovery room where the doctor delivered his assessment. “The patient experienced a miscarriage and has multiple surface abrasions, but no critical injuries beyond that."

"A miscarriage?" Liam echoed, his eyes widening.

He reflexively turned toward Freya, whose composure remained intact, and for the first time, unease crept through his veins. Could Kristian have fathered the child?

Freya merely expressed gratitude to the doctor before walking purposefully toward Ashley's room.

Liam hastened after her. As they traversed the sterile hallway, the question burst from his lips. "Is the child Kristian's?"

"I'm not certain," Freya admitted truthfully.

Despite Kristian's insistence that intimacy with Ashley never occurred, only the two of them knew the reality. Words failed Liam. If Kristian had indeed fathered the child, the situation would grow exponentially more complicated.

"I need to make a call," Liam declared, feeling compelled to summon Kristian for

direct questioning. "Continue without me; I'll join you momentarily."

Freya recognized his intention to contact Kristian and made no attempt to dissuade him.

The accumulated weight of recent events had depleted her emotional reserves beyond caring.
