Chapter 61
Yvette assumed he remembered this place and was going to use it to force her to admit that she hadnât lost her memory. But he didnât.
Xavier gripped the steering wheel tightly and asked lowly, âWhat happened to that baby, Yvette?â
When Tristan had given him her medical records, he remembered that they had stated that she was already two weeks pregnant. He had never asked because he had wanted Yvette to bring it up on her
own.
Her pupils narrowed into slits when she heard the word âbabyâ. âWhat baby? What are you talking
about?â
He stopped the car and looked at her, feeling unusually depressed. âI know you were pregnant at the time.â He gazed at her intently, as if he wanted to see right through her.
Yvette was afraid that he had already discovered Zachary. Even though she had prepared herself, she still trembled in fear in front of him, afraid he would take Zachary and Noah away from her.
Forcing herself to calm down, she responded, âAll I remember is the attending physician telling me I had a miscarriage.â
His heart sank to the bottom of his stomach. He shouldâve known that the baby was gone. If the baby were alive, Yvette wouldnât have returned on her own.
The men he had sent to tail her hadnât seen any signs of a child all this time. Moreover, she had been so weak at the time; how could she have possibly given birth to a child?
Xavier felt a lump form in his throat, and he couldnât bring himself to utter another word for a long while
Yvette felt particularly uneasy on the way back. As soon as she got home, she called Claude. Soon, her call was answered, and a manâs magnetic voice came through. âWhatâs wrong. Yvette?â Claude was well aware that Yvette wouldnât have called him unless something was wrong.
âXavier found me and asked me about the baby just now. He knows I was pregnant before,â she confessed.
Moments later, he comforted her, saying, âDonât worry, Iâve had Zacharyâs and Noahâs dates of birth changed.â
âTâThatâs good to know.â Yvette realized she had panicked for a moment.
âDonât worry, as long as Iâm here, no one can take Noah and Zachary away from you.â
Thousands of miles away, Claude was standing on the top floor of a coastal skyscraper. Behind him, In a large conference room, a group of executives were waiting for him to finish his phone call and resume the meeting.

Claude reluctantly hung up the phone and told his assistant, âKeep a close Xavierâs men find him.â
von Noah. Donât let
Recently, he had noticed that someone had been looking into Yvetteâs past. He hadnât expected Xavierâs influence to reach all the way here. He hadnât told Yvette for fear of worrying her.
That night, Yvette had a nightmare in which Xavier found both of her children. He not only didnât want them, but he also wanted them to perish.
Yvette woke up with a start, and her forehead was covered in a sheen of sweat. She still remembered Shannon urging her and Xavier to have a baby as soon as possible, right after they had gotten married. And Xavier had told her, âFirst of all, I wonât even touch you. But if I do, and by some miracle you did get pregnant, I wouldnât allow that baby to see the light of day!â
Yvette was wide awake. It seemed like she needed to act quickly.
The next day, Yvette wore clothes that accentuated her figure and put on light makeup. As she was about to leave the house, she slipped the equipment for sperm collection into her bag, just in case.
