Raine bit her lower lip and pressed her mouth shut, remaining silent.
She had never heard Jonas Hawthorne speak to her in such a tone...
In the silence, she suddenly saw him reach out a hand towards her.
Her throat tightened slightly, and instead of saying words of rejection, she avoided his hand and walked towards the examination room.
Jonas Hawthorne’s thin lips curved into a smile as he followed her.
"Raine, walk slower."
The gentle voice from behind seed to wring out the water...
Raine was sowhat unaccustod to it, so she quickened her pace!
Jonas Hawthorne today was definitely not acting normal!
First, she had an ultrasound, then listened to the heartbeat. The doctor, smiling, told her, "The baby is very healthy, and its arms and legs are long, definitely resembling the father. It’ll definitely be tall in the future!"
Originally, Raine was very happy to hear the news about the baby, but the mont she heard the doctor say the child resembled its father, her face instantly chilled.
"What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable sowhere?" The doctor noticed her reaction and hurriedly asked.
"No." Raine shook her head lightly and sat up, tidying her clothes.
At this point, a nurse had already brought Raine’s examination report and the recording of the heartbeat to Jonas Hawthorne.
She did not allow him to go in, so he could only look at the information about the baby in this way.
Holding the ultrasound image, Jonas Hawthorne listened to the faint heartbeat and for the first ti strongly felt the existence of the child in Raine’s belly!
Before, he did not dare to approach her, worried that Candace Ford would find out and do sothing extre.
But even so, Candace still refused to let go, and he nearly lost the child with Raine.
It seems avoiding isn’t the best choice. From now on, his woman, his child, will all be personally protected by him!
When Raine ca out of the examination room, she saw Jonas Hawthorne smiling like a child while listening to the recording...
He sat alone on a public seat, without bodyguards or secretaries, and seed to have fewer barriers.
He was still the Jonas Hawthorne she rembered, but sohow also not...
In the silence, Jonas seed to sense her presence and looked up at her.
"Are you done with the checkup?" he asked, the smile at the corners of his eyes still lingered.
Raine nodded and opened her mouth again, though her tone wasn’t as sharp as before, she sighed, "Jonas, you should leave."
Upon hearing these words, Jonas Hawthorne’s smile suddenly beca stiff.
He looked up at Raine in disbelief...
"What’s wrong?"
"Nothing. I have finished the checkup; you don’t have to do this anymore," Raine slowly said.
Jonas furrowed his brows slightly, carefully putting away the ultrasound report and recording, he approached her, deliberately avoiding her topic and instead spoke of sothing else, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I’ll take you."
Little did he know, the more he avoided her topic, the more annoyed Raine beca.
"Jonas, do you not understand what I’m saying? Just go, don’t bother anymore in the future!"
Unable to resist raising her voice a few pitches.
If she didn’t say this, would he always think she was just sulking?
Is such a big thing like divorce sothing he can declare just by saying it, and can co back whenever he wants?
What does he take her for?!
Jonas’ dark eyes paused slightly, his gaze falling on her delicate face, "Raine, can we not fight anymore, please?"
"..." Raine reached out to rub her forehead, realizing that she could never communicate with him on these matters, she switched topics, "Alright then, tell , what do you plan to do about Candace?"
After the poisoning incident, Lily Sinclair was taken for a statent, while the culprit Candace was sent directly to the hospital.
So many days after the miscarriage, not even a single policeman ca to question.
It was obvious enough that Jonas Hawthorne blocked it.
Raine indeed persuaded her parents not to get involved in this matter, but she never said she could completely act like nothing happened!
Seeing Jonas remain silent, Raine asked again, "Do you think I’m really that easy to bully? You say divorce, then divorce, you say move, then move, you want to take my blood, you take it, and now you don’t ntion anything, waiting for to forget all about it, is that it?!"
"Raine, once she recovers, I’ll give you an explanation." Jonas answered.
He wasn’t favoring Candace, and he definitely won’t tolerate what happened this ti.
But Candace’s body was still very weak, and if she was sent to jail now, it’s likely...
So things don’t necessarily need to be rushed at this mont.
Listening to his words, Raine suddenly gave a cold laugh, "Alright, I’ll wait for your explanation! But Jonas, rember this, I won’t let this go easily! If you’re reluctant to act, I’ll use my own thods."
Saving Candace at the ti, for one was because it’s a life.
Secondly, it was because she didn’t want to owe Jonas anything.
Their marriage was sothing she aggressively pursued.
The past, it’s better to just write it off as cleared!
Jonas knew she was unwilling to let go, and imdiately said, "I will deal with this matter. What you need to focus on now is taking care of yourself and the baby inside."
Raine squinted at him for a long ti, suddenly asked, "If it weren’t for this child, would you still be like this?"
She truly didn’t understand him anymore.
When Candace was pregnant, he revolved around Candace, now she was pregnant, he revolves around her.
To him, is the child everything?
Jonas’ originally calm and handso face rippled due to her question.
He looked at her, his gaze deep as night.
"Do you think it’s because of the child?"
He asked.
His voice was indifferent with a hint of self-deprecation.
This question had already been asked by John Franklin.
He thought he had made his answer very clear, and believed John had conveyed it to her.
"Isn’t it?" Raine laughed coldly, her fair face decisive, "You’ve never loved , haven’t you? Don’t pretend, I’m tired."
With that, Raine sighed and turned, heading towards the other end of the corridor.
Yet, just as she took a few steps, she suddenly heard the man behind her speak.
"How do you know I’ve never loved you?"
A short sentence, successfully halted Raine in her tracks.
Her red lips curled in a self-mocking smile, "Jonas, stop playing. Let’s each move on separately."
Love or not, can’t she feel it?
Yet Jonas insisted.
"Do you think I’d marry a woman I don’t love?"
He squinted at her back, his gaze piercing.
He said it with serious determination, but to Raine, it was a joke.
"That’s why we divorced."
Casually throwing out five words, Raine once again moved towards the front.
She once thought she loved him so deeply, without him, life would have no aning at all.
But sohow over ti, she had slowly gotten used to a world without him.
