âYouâre pregnant with my child. Thatâs a big dealâhow could I not show up and celebrate with you?â
Elizabeth scoffed and lay back down.
Andrew climbed onto the bed, resting his hand on her stomach. âAfter all this effort, I was starting to think itâd never happen. You almost wore me out, but we finally pulled it off. Haha, this is amazing.â
âWere you careful getting here?â Elizabeth asked. âAre you sure no one followed you?â
He grinned. âAt this hour? Please. The only things lurking in this hospital are ghosts.â
âYouâre making it sound creepy.â
âRelax.â Andrew smirked. âI always sneak in through the window. Who could possibly follow me? Itâs not like I walk straight through the hospital room door.â
âOh.â
Andrew picked up on her mood shift. âWhatâs wrong? Did someone upset you? Was it Caroline?â
âWho else? Her, and that old witch Harperâ¦â
The two of them squeezed together on the narrow hospital bed, tangled in each other.
At the Ellison residence, Caroline stepped out of the bathroom, freshly showered, and immediately met Davidâs gaze.
His expression was unreadable, but the way he was watching her sent an uneasy chill down her spine.
Avoiding his gaze, she walked over and sat at the vanity.
âWhy are you staring at me like that?â She asked casually. âWorried I might have had an accident in the bathroom again?â
âWhat do you think?â
âRelax. I used the shower today, not the bathtub. And since you already threw out all my stuff, thereâs no chance of another âmisunderstanding.ââ
She kept her tone light, but through the mirror, she carefully studied his face.
David sat on the bed, halfâreclined, his robe slightly open, exposing his toned chest. His arms were crossed, his entire posture tense.
He was waiting.
Caroline lowered her gaze.
She couldnât figure out what he was thinking, so she chose to stay silent.
The only sound in the room was the soft clinking of her skincare bottles.

If he wasnât going to speak, neither would she.
Letâs see who breaks first.
It didnât take long.
âThe man you spoke to outside the hospitalâwho was he?â
Carolineâs hand faltered slightly, nearly dropping the jar of cream. He was still on that?

âIâll ask you againâwho was he?â Davidâs voice was calm but carried a sharp edge. âCaroline, you know exactly what happens when you lie to me.â
She bit her lip, forcing herself to remain composed. In the most casual tone she could manage, she said, âI already told you. He was just some guy asking for directions. Why are you making such a big deal out of this? I barely know anyone in this city, and the ones I do, you already know too.â
âA random stranger?â His voice was laced with doubt. âThatâs your answer?â
âYes.â Caroline sighed. âDavid, is your jealousy really this out of control? A stranger asks me for directions and says a few words, and now youâre acting like itâs a betrayal and picking a fight? Youâre being ridiculous.â
David let out a cold chuckle.
âIâm not running off with a stranger, donât worry,â Caroline added. âBesides, he was old enough to be my father.â
Davidâs tone turned iceâcold. âCaroline, I keep giving you chances. Over and over. But you⦠never seem to appreciate them.â
