Chapter 102

Noella was pregnant?

Milford’s faint glimmer of interest immediately died out. He had a thing for pristine women; the moment they were tarnished, he wouldn’t give them a second glance.

Vincent, on the other hand, was in no position to be choosy. “Briony, hand me your phone. I need to call Noella and see what’s up!”

Whatever Noella demanded, he had to get her to agree to his terms. He wasn’t ready to face his own mortality.

Noella had blocked Vincent long ago; his calls wouldn’t even ring through.

Fumbling with Briony’s phone, Vincent hurriedly dialed Noella’s number.

“Hello? Noella, sweetheart, it’s Dad. Were you at Fortress Hospital today?”

Noella almost hung up when she heard Vincent’s voice, but at the mention of Fortress Hospital,

she frowned.

How did Vincent know she was at Fortress Hospital?

“Noella, darling, I’ve been sick, and it made me realize how much I miss you and your grandmother. That’s why I went back to visit her, but I took a tumble down the mountainside. and now here I am in Fortress Hospital. Would you come see your old man?”

Vincent, fearful of rejection, quickly added, “Don’t worry, if you’re willing to come back to the Lambert family, I’ll make sure to take good care of you and the baby in your belly!”

Briony’s fingernails dug into her palm.

Damn it! Noella’s life was a hot mess, and Vincent still wanted her back? How could Vincent not be disgusted by such a daughter?

On the other end of the line, Noella frowned as she listened to Vincent.

A baby? Since when was there a baby in her belly?

“Noella, I know you’re at the maternity ward to get an abortion surgery so the Schnabels wouldn’t find out about the baby. Don’t worry, I’ll keep your secret as long as you agree to reach out to the Schnabels and get Dr. Schnabel to come and treat me.”

So, it was all for Ulrich Schnabel.

“Noella, I know I’ve been wrong. You and your grandmother are the most important to me. Can you really stand to watch your father suffer? Your grandmother would be heartbroken too!”
