Corinne smiled in a way that seemed polite and a little contemptuous altogether. “Is that so?”

Lucas nodded. “Yeah! What happened with our mother had nothing to do with you! Yes, they did for a brief moment suspect that you were a product of an affair because of the rumors going around, but after they calmed down, they realized how wrong they were.”

Corinne scoffed. “Oh, how nice of them to think that!”

Lucas sighed helplessly when he saw how stubborn Corinne was. His gaze went down to her protruding belly, and the worries of her leaving gripped him again. After thinking it over, he said, “Fine. I won’t talk about the past anymore. But you don’t want to see Jeremy, right? Well, I can guarantee he won’t bother you if you just stay here.”

Corinne was a little taken aback and, to be honest, very tempted by Lucas’ suggestion. She only came back to the city because Jeremy found out her hiding place in the countryside and also because the baby was about to be due.

Even though Jason said he would hire the best doctor to deliver the baby, she was still worried there might be complications during the delivery and that lives would be lost due to lack of hospital equipment.
