Chapter 152:

Jake’s eyes were bloodshot, appearing menacing. “Repeat that. How long has she been pregnant?”

The primary doctor, visibly shaken, kept his gaze fixed on the floor. “Less than a month.”

Jake felt as though his world was shattering, the sound deafening in his ears. All his hopes crumbled into nothingness. The urge to lash out, to confront Kallie and demand answers, surged within him.

Yet, suddenly, Jake was overcome with a profound sense of weakness.

The anticipated fury failed to surface. Out of the corner of his eye, the primary doctor stole a wary glance at Jake.

Jake appeared like a defeated animal that had lost its will to struggle.

Edgar, sensing the gravity of the situation, hurried over and addressed the primary doctor. “Thank you for informing Mr. Reeves. You may leave now. This matter doesn’t concern you anymore.”

The primary doctor nodded, casting one last look at Jake to gauge his reaction before departing.

Edgar exhaled deeply and turned toward Jake, attempting to offer some solace. “Mr. Reeves, perhaps this is just—”

“Get out.” Jake interrupted Edgar mid-sentence. “Everyone out. I don’t want anyone coming in unless I say so.”

Edgar simply nodded and ushered everyone out.
