Chapter 1464
But Winnie was pregnant and needed regular checkups to minimize any risks.
Jamie continued, "And Winnie always praises how considerate you are, She even mentioned that you personally found her doctor for the prenatal exams. But now you're saying this... Aren't you worried she might overhear?" "If I don't mind her discovering our relationship, do you really think I'd care about that?" Ben replied, full of confidence. "Even if she finds out everything, she'll still stay with me."
Jamie knew him well enough to understand that he never made claims unless he was sure. If he was saying this so confidently, it meant he believed he had Winnie completely in his grip.
A wave of dizziness hit Jamie. "I did what you asked last night, and I'll go along with whatever you want tonight as well. I..."
"I'm a lawyer, not a collector of cast-offs. Especially ones with a clear price tag of over $10,000. What are you lined with, gold or diamonds?" Ben interrupted again, his words laced with cruelty.
But even as he spoke, he felt a sting of pain as well. They were locked in a cycle of mutual destruction. And yet, he believed he was only stating the facts.
Four years ago, when Jamie left, he had tracked her down and found photos of her with various men, some even accompanied by audio clips.
He had wanted to believe the videos were fakes, doctored somehow, but they were authentic, with no traces of editing. How could he deny what he saw with his own eyes?
If she had dared to do it, then she should be willing to own up to it.
Suddenly, Jamie's vision went black, and she collapsed backward.
Ben's arm shot out, catching her reflexively. He quickly let go, watching her fall to the floor. "Quit the act. Talking about this makes you pretend to faint? You're no actress. If you love drama so much, you should've gone into showbiz." But Jamie didn't respond.
Seeing her motionless, panic finally crept into Ben. His hands trembled as he reached for her nose, relieved to feel her breath.
He scooped her up and urgently called out to the hospital staff, "Someone help! She's fainted!"
A team of medical staff quickly rushed over, lifting Jamie onto a stretcher and taking her to the emergency room, with Ben following anxiously.
Fortunately, it was only a scare.
The doctor later came out holding her test results. "Your girlfriend is fine. She just had a bout of low blood sugar. It's nothing serious, but as her boyfriend, you should take. better care of her. Look at how thin she is. Get her to eat more. Young women these days, willing to risk their health for the sake of weight loss."
Ben didn't correct the "girlfriend" label.
He pressed further, "What about the baby? Is she alright in that regard?"
The doctor looked at him, confused. "What baby? We ran blood tests. She's not pregnant. Home pregnancy tests can be unreliable. The blood test here is definitive."

Ben was taken aback.
If Jamie wasn't pregnant, then who was she referring to when she mentioned a child during her conversation with that man? And what was that $10,000 for?
Ben couldn't hold back his questions
any longer. "I'd like to see her medical records. She just deposited $10,000 with your hospital. What kind of treatment is that payment meant for?" en FindNovel
