Chapter 338: Bad Driving Skills Angelica deliberately chose a large public hospital, knowing that the high foot traffic would ensure news of her pregnancy spread quickly.
When Joe arrived at the hospital room, he found Angelica lying weakly on the bed, her face streaked with tears.
"Dad..." she whispered, her voice trembling.
Before she could say more, she began to gasp for air. Grandma Morris stepped forward, her expression stern.
"Angelica, this child must be terminated," she declared.
Angelica sobbed uncontrollably. "Grandma, please, donât do this. I donât want to lose this baby..."
Grandma Morrisâs face remained hard. "No. Angelica, you must listen to me. Once youâre feeling better, Iâll arrange for a doctor to terminate the pregnancy."
Angelica was in a shared room with other expectant mothers and their families. Hearing this exchange, they couldnât help but frown.
"What kind of grandmother insists on aborting her granddaughterâs child? Whatâs the grudge?"
"I think I heard the old lady say her granddaughter is unmarried and pregnant..."
"Unmarried and pregnant? Whereâs the father?"
Angelica and Grandma Morris exchanged a glance, both seeing the satisfaction in each otherâs eyes.
Yes, this pregnancy was part of their plan.
Angelica wanted to become Mrs. Reid, and Grandma Morris simply wanted to disgust Selina.
The two had conspired to stage this entire act.
Clutching her abdomen, Angelica cried, "Grandma, this is Loganâs child. I canât live without him. Please..."
Grandma Morris scolded, "Heâs long since forgotten about you! Whatâs the use of carrying his child? The promises he made when you saved him are all forgotten. Youâre the only one still holding on!"
"Even if you have this child, he wonât acknowledge it!"
Angelica, tearfully, "I donât care..."
"Nonsense!" Grandma Morris shouted deliberately loud. "Four years ago, when you saved him, he promised to marry you. Did he? Not only did he not marry you, but he also irresponsibly got you pregnant!"
The onlookers were shocked.
"What a scumbag!"
"Promised marriage, then backed out and got the girl pregnant? So irresponsible!"
"Wait, did she say the manâs name is Logan? Could it be Logan Reid?"
Joe frowned and asked, "Angelica, whatâs going on?"
Grandma Morris quickly put on a worried expression and said loudly, "Alright, everyone, please donât listen. This is a family matter."
Angelica sobbed, "Dad, I suddenly fainted today. My brother brought me to the hospital. After the examination, the doctor said I was one month pregnant... And a month ago, I was with Logan..."
She seemed unable to continue, covering her face and crying.
Joe, his blood boiling, "A month ago?! I had already found you by then. Why didnât you tell me!"
Grandma Morris subtly added fuel to the fire, "Joe, itâs not Angelicaâs fault. Sheâs timid. Selina warned her twice, and she naively listened. Even after being taken advantage of by Logan and getting pregnant, she didnât dare to speak up."
Selina...?
Joe was taken aback, "Selina is involved too?"
Angelica bit her lip, finally crying out, "Dad, Selina always thought I would ruin their marriage. She warned me multiple times. I endured it all. But a month ago, Logan got drunk, and I... I was so afraid Selina would find out and cause trouble again, so I kept it to myself. Who knew Iâd end up pregnant... Dad, I donât want to live anymore..."
The doctor chimed in from the side, "Chairman Morris, Miss Morris is in poor health. If she terminates the pregnancy, thereâs a high chance she may never be able to conceive again. You should think this through carefully."
Grandma Morris deliberately added, "But whatâs the point of having a fatherless child? Just to bring shame to the Morris Family?"
The more Joe listened, the deeper his frown became.
Selina had âwarnedâ Angelica in private? If that were true, then he had to protect Angelica.
Heâd already let his daughter suffer too muchâhe couldnât just stand by anymore. "If itâs a Reid Family child, then the Reid Family needs to take responsibility."
"Angelica, focus on your recovery. Iâm going to the Reid Family."
Angelica watched Joe walk out the door, the corners of her lips lifting into a quiet smile.

Selina couldnât quite follow Lukeâs train of thought. "D-Drive?"
Luke thought for a second whether Selina understood the slang meaning of "drive," but figured, hey, they were adults. Putting "fun" and "driving"
togetherâshe had to get it. "Exactly!"
Selina fell into thought.
A few days ago, when Logan drove her back, he seemed seriously triggeredâhe slammed the brakes multiple times, nearly flinging her out of the car.
And since he normally had a driver, his actual driving skills might be...
Selina shook her head. "Not great."
Luke looked stunned. "Not great?"
Before Selina could respond, Luke suddenly stood up and started pacing back and forth, looking very serious. "I get it now!"
Selina: "...?"
So what if Logan wasnât a great driver? He had a 24/7 chauffeur.
Their mental wavelengths were completely out of sync, but somehow the conversation kept going.
"Selina, donât be upset. Iâm taking you somewhere!"
Selina was intrigued. "Where?"
"Weâre going to..." Luke swallowed the word "bar." "Weâre going to blow off some steam! Loganâs out driving like crap and still fooling around with Angelica, and now she claims sheâs pregnant and he wonât even speak up? Forget him. Letâs go!"
Luke dragged Selina into the car, and half an hour later, they pulled up to a bar.
Selina frowned. "A bar? This is your idea of fun?"
"No." Lukeâs face turned mysterious. "Selina, Iâm here to expand your worldview. Youâve only ever had my brother around. Youâve never seen the variety of men out there. Tonight, Iâm showing you everything!"
Logan wasnât answering his phone? Out "in meetings" late at night? Whether he saw Angelica or not, as far as Luke was concerned, that guy was a failure as a husband.
Selina followed Luke into the bar, still a bit confused, only to see Luke clap his hands. A man immediately rushed over, eager to please.
"Young Master Reid, what would you like to do tonight?"
Luke gave Selina a look full of pity, then declared righteously, "Bring out your top guysâline âem up for me!"
The managerâs eyes twitched. "Yes, Young Master Reid."
A few minutes later, Selina stared in shock at the row of men in front of herâtall, handsome, gentle, arrogant, cold, refinedâevery type imaginable.
There wasnât a single look they didnât have covered.
Selina was baffled. "Luke, what are you doing?"
"Come on, Selina, just point to the one you like and tell me!" Luke waved grandly and called over a few of the men. "You guysâpour her a drink!"
Several men sat down next to Selina.
"Miss Clark, have a drink."
"Miss Clark, how do you like your drink? Should I feed it to you?"
It finally dawned on Selina where Luke had brought her, and she was absolutely floored.
