“Pregnant? That’s impossible…” Dexter froze mid–sentence, then the memory of that night he’d lost all recollection suddenly surfaced.”
“I think I saw Blythe. Mom, I can’t go back…”
“Get your ass back here! Blythe? You still dare mention her? Do you want her raising another woman’s child? Clean up your mess before you even think about her again!“}]
Phoebe ended the call without another word.”
Standing nearby, the secretary, who had clearly heard every word, stepped forward and reminded him cautiously, “Sir, let’s return to the country first. If Miss Ambrose truly is pregnant with your heir, the divorce and property division could become complicated. It’s better to finalize the paperwork quickly before the Ambrose family causes trouble…”
The more Noah listened, the more disgusted he became.”
This man had flown across continents, staged a grand, dramatic reunion, and spent a fortune trying to pose as some devoted lover, yet it all crumbled with just one phone call.”
Trying to win Blythe back with one hand while his newlywed wife was already pregnant with the other.”
Noah scoffed coldly. “So you’ve already got a family. Seems like I misunderstood. I thought you were harassing my wife. Congratulations on the baby.“}
With that, he stepped onto the flight to South Africa just as the doors were closing.”
Dexter stood frozen, staring after him. That familiar figure, so much like Blythe, was long gone.”
Anger boiled over. He hurled his phone to the ground, shattering it into pieces.”
Still unwilling to give up, he left a few men behind to continue the search, then boarded the flight back to the US.
The tension in the cabin was suffocating.
His secretary sat stiffly beside him, careful not to breathe too loud. After wrestling with his nerves, he finally dabbed the sweat from his brow and leaned in.”
“Sir, we double–checked. Miss Griggs on that flight. That really might’ve been that man’s wife. Maybe you’re just missing her too much. Maybe you were seeing things.”
Dexter frowned deeply. After all those years with Blythe, there was no way he could have mistaken her.”
Unless someone had the power to erase every single record of her comings and goings.”
On this desperate search abroad, Dexter had spent money without limit.”
Yet, not a single trace of Blythe appeared anywhere.
Whoever was shielding her from him was clearly no ordinary adversary.“]
But who was it? When had Blythe met someone like that, and why had he been kept in the dark?!
The secretary, having served Dexter for years and knowing him well, needed no prompting. He swiftly dug into Noah’s background.} Yet, the Tanner family had guarded their heir with exceptional care, and almost nothing surfaced.
The Tanner family again.”
When had Blythe met him? The mere thought that they might be entangled in some way made Dexter clench his fists and slam them hard against the seat.”
“Schedule the doctor’s appointment. Arrange Heidi’s surgery for tomorrow.”
The secretary hesitated briefly before catching the full meaning behind his boss’s words.
“Understood. We’ll send Heidi to the same hospital you stayed at before. That place has a strict confidentiality agreement with the company.””
“Wait! That hospital? Didn’t the doctor say there were large amounts of undigested sedatives in my system last time?” Dexter’s eyes narrowed sharply.!!
“Have the doctor come to the Laurence residence. I want to see him first thing. And get the divorce lawyer here too!” Just once, and Heidi was pregnant?W
Something about all this reeked of foul play.
Back then, Dexter had been so fixated on finding Blythe that he barely gave the sedative report a second thought.”
But now, reflecting on it, given his tolerance for alcohol, there was no way he could have blacked out that easily.N
Once the plane touched down, Dexter rushed to his study, spent hours consulting with the doctor, and then held a private meeting with the divorce lawyer.!!
By the time he arrived at the hospital, Heidi was already kneeling outside the operating room, screaming and thrashing in hysteria.
