Alaric Faulkner curled his lips and said, "Mr. Keating, hitting a woman is not a sign of a good man."
Ronan Keating’s eyes turned cold, growing sharper.
So it’s okay for a woman to hit him, but he can’t fight back?
Although furious, Ronan Keating didn’t really retaliate.
"Ronan Keating, you’ve hurt Yvette Ray enough already." Eleanor Sterling’s eyes reddened as she warned Ronan Keating, "If I ever see you in front of her again, I’ll hit you every time."
She felt a pang of heartache thinking about the suffering Yvette had endured.
Ronan Keating saw Eleanor Sterling guarding Yvette Ray like an eagle protecting her chick, not allowing him to approach, and glanced at Yvette Ray lying on the bed.
Realizing he wouldn’t be able to get close to her today, he felt somewhat relieved knowing Yvette Ray wasn’t in serious harm.
After a moment of silence, Ronan Keating turned to leave.
Only then did Eleanor Sterling breathe a sigh of relief and walk over to check on Yvette Ray’s condition.
Alaric Faulkner signaled Ethan Finch, and the two left the ward together to give the sisters a moment to talk.
"Yvette, are you okay? Sorry I’m late," Eleanor Sterling said, feeling a bit guilty.
Yvette Ray rasped, "Eleanor, it’s not your fault. I should thank you for sending someone to save me."
Yet, sadly, the child couldn’t be saved.
Tears slid from the corners of her eyes.
A flash of brokenheartedness crossed Yvette Ray’s eyes. She sighed softly and said, "Eleanor, there’s no hope for Little Rana, the child is gone."
Eleanor Sterling shook her head, "No, Little Rana, besides having another child, there are other possibilities. We’ll think of a way."
Yvette Ray’s eyes dimmed as she nodded lightly, acknowledging, "Okay."
Because having another child was the quickest solution, she had begun with this in mind.
But things hadn’t gone as smoothly as imagined; she had already lost hope.
"Eleanor, I’ve given up. Actually, I’ve always had a knot in my heart these past few years. This time, it wasn’t just for Little Rana but also for my own selfish reasons.
But now I’ve decided to completely forget Ronan Keating and start a new life without him."
In front of Eleanor Sterling, Yvette Ray couldn’t lie.
She shared her innermost thoughts with Eleanor Sterling.
Seeing Yvette Ray’s pale face, Eleanor Sterling’s eyes stung with emotion. Yvette Ray was a strong and optimistic girl.
She had endured so much for Ronan Keating, and there was no longer any debt between them. Ronan Keating didn’t deserve such a good girl.
"Yvette, I will definitely help Little Rana find a suitable match. You should rest well and take care of your health to have a future."
In the hospital office.
Although Ronan Keating had left, he was still worried about Yvette Ray’s health, so he came to personally understand the situation.
The doctor adjusted his glasses and said, "Miss Ray’s pregnancy was still in the early stages. A miscarriage won’t cause too much harm to the body, but she still needs to rest properly. It’s best to observe a mini-confinement and avoid cold water..."
Ronan Keating’s mind was buzzing.
It was as if struck by lightning, taking him a long time to regain his senses.
He no longer listened to the doctor’s advice, as his mind was filled with... Yvette Ray was pregnant?
He never thought it would be .
He recalled the time Yvette Ray begged him to take her to the hospital, but he ignored her plea.
The bloodstains in the living room were etched deeply into his heart. Yvette Ray must have felt so helpless back then, yet he heartlessly walked away.
His heart suddenly felt heavy.
Ronan Keating pressed his lips together, unsure of what to do to alleviate his guilt.
The doctor spoke for a long time only to realize Ronan Keating seemed lost in thought, having obviously not absorbed his words.
Not wanting to be verbose, the doctor cleared his throat and said, "That’s basically it. Any other questions?" For more chapters visit novel•fire.net
Ronan Keating shook his head, "No."
He turned around and left, despondent.
