Chapter 1011


    "What?! Corinne''s pregnant?" eximed Pam in shock when she heard what Rosie said. She


    quickly got up and walked over to them. "Jeremy, is this true?"


    Jeremy had not announced Corinne''s pregnancy to his family as he was worried Pam would


    insist on plying Corinne with all sorts of nutritious food. He knew Corinne would be too kind to turn


    down, and she would end up with dangerously excessive nutrients.


    At this point, however, there was no need to hide the news of the pregnancy from his family. Thus,


    he nodded at Pam.


    This seemed to make Pam even more worried as not only did she fear for Corinne''s life but also


    the unborn baby''s. All of a sudden, she was hit with nausea, chest tightness, and difficulty in


    breathing.


    Jeremy reached out to steady his grandmother. Then, with a frown, he said to Francine, "You! Help


    Grandma to the chair."


    Francine did as she asked without protest, which was rare. She led Pam to the waiting chair to


    rest.


    Not wanting to be interrogated by Jeremy, Rosie followed Francine and Pam over to the waiting


    chair too. After thinking about it, she said to the old woman, "Don''t worry, Grandma Pam. There''s


    a high chance the baby Corinne''s carrying isn''t Jeremy''s. She didn''t give me a straight answer when


    I asked her who the baby''s father is, so I think—"


    p!


    Rosie was smacked before she could finish her sentence, and her ears began to ring. After the


    ringing stopped, she turned to look at the person who pped her in wide-eyed disbelief.


    "Lu… Lucas… Why did you hit me?" she stammered with her hand on her cheek. She could not


    believe the man she worshiped would p her. She knew Lucas might be aloof most of the time,


    but he would never hit a woman.


    Lucas looked down at Rosie angrily. "You better watch what you''re saying. Don''t you think it''s rude


    to talk badly about other people when they can''t even defend themselves?"


    "But Lucas, I…" said Rosie weepily. That was as far as she got as she was at a loss of words.


    Pam did not understand nor did she care about theplicated web of rtionships between


    the youngsters. Instead, she put all of her attention into praying. "God, please keep Corinne and the


    baby safe. God, please…"


    At that moment, the surgery room''s light turned off. The doctor, whose forehead was slick with


    sweat, came out. He took off his surgical mask, shook his head, and sighed. "I''m sorry, but we did


    our best."


    The surgery had failed.


    Pam immediately passed out in shock.


    "Grandma! Grandma!" shouted Francine in a panic.


    Jeremy''s eyes widened in shock, but they quickly turned hollow. "What did you say? I dare you to


    say it one more time."


    The aura he was emitting was so threatening that it sent a chill up the doctor''s spine. s, it was


    not like the doctor could lie.
