The sudden news came as a bombshell.
Xavier noticed Heatherâs and Christopherâs expressions.
âWhy? Didnât you guys know that?â Xavier asked after seeing their reactions.
It seemed that his speculation was accurate.
Christopher soon came to his senses and asked Xavier respectfully, âCan you remember the last time you saw her?â
He was eager to know whether Katherine found out she was pregnant before or after the divorce.
However, from the way he tried to trace her whereabouts after her disappearance right after the divorce and even failed to do so with the expertise of an expert like Noah, it seemed that her disappearance was deliberate.
In other words, she must have found out that she was pregnant before the divorce.
Then, she decided to hide it from him.
At the thought of this, Christopherâs dark eyes turned cold.
Although he already knew the answer, he still wanted to confirm his speculation with Xavier.
Xavier scratched his head as he tried to recall.
Finally, he was hit by a sudden realization. âYeah, yeah. I remembered something! When I saw her that day, I had a joint consultation with a famous doctor.â
Following this realization, he promptly requested his assistant to provide the renowned doctorâs consultation records.
Soon, the time was confirmed.
When Christopher heard this, his expression darkened.
âThis woman is really bold. How dare she give birth to our child behind my back? Does she think everything would be all right with this?â
Heather had always been a witness to Christopher and Katherineâs relationship.
She had been in an unhappy marriage, so she was especially concerned about Katherine.
Yet, through their regular communication, she was aware that Katherine and her son. were ostensibly married only in name.
However, she was told now that her ex-daughter-in-law was pregnant with a child.
She needed some time to digest this piece of information.
She looked at her son confusedly and asked, âChris, whatâs happening? Am I going to be a grandmother?â
Apart from being shocked, she was actually slightly delighted.
She quite liked Katherine and had been hoping that her son would be able to find her.
However, when Ivy came back, the notion faded.
Christopher wanted to answer his motherâs question, but he didnât know what to say.
He struggled to recall every detail of his relationship with the woman, but it was mostly vague and fragmented memories.
It seemed it had accidentally happened when he got drunk once and returned to Osimor Residence.
He didnât think much about the incident then as she was his wife even though he didnât like her.
Therefore, he didnât take the incident to heart.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Christopherâs mind, and he became irritated.
As it unfolded, she abruptly requested a divorce upon discovering her pregnancy, a stark contrast to her previous refusals to separate.
Out of fear of her pregnancy being discovered, she made the voluntary decision to leave.
Then, she asked an expert to remove all traces of her whereabouts.
If it werenât for Xavier, who happened to see her in the hospital that day, no one would have discovered anything.
At the thought of this, Christopher became inexplicably annoyed.
He picked up his phone and made a call to Felix and Noah respectively.
âWhatever you do, find Katherine as soon as possible.â
He didnât believe that a person could disappear so easily.
Of course, Katherine was just an ordinary woman in his eyes.
The Xander family, the only ones she could rely on, had also abandoned her.
However, at the thought of this, his heart softened.
She had no savings, and she didnât have any specialty.
Over the passing months, her belly would get bigger and bigger.
It was hard to imagine what she had to live on.
Christopherâs child would be born without a father.
He wondered what the bad woman would say to his kid.
Would it be like the part of a TV show where she told her child that the latterâs father died of an illness long ago?
Thinking of these scenes, he wanted to throw his fist at someone.
Upon receiving Christopherâs urgent and anxious directive, Felix and Noahâs initial reaction was to suspect Katherine of being a spy.
After all, the Levine Group remained in a state of unrest following her departure.
Moreover, Christopher hung up before they could ask the reason.
He hadnât fully processed Katherineâs pregnancy, thus he was hesitant to give others an opportunity to inquire about it.
Clean clothes were delivered, and Christopher proceeded to a nearby hotel owned by the Levine Group to freshen up.
After returning to the hospital, Maxwell had already woken up and taken an IV drip, which made him feel much more refreshed.
âDad, you should take good care of your body. Take your medicine when itâs time to take it. Donât be capricious. Youâre scaring the hell out of me. Itâs also our fault. We are usually busy with work and become negligent.â
Maxwell always knew that Heather was a filial He couldnât bear t person.
see her blame herself. âItâs not your fault. I am a confused old man.â
Heather never kept secrets from Maxwell.
She approached Maxwell and whispered to him.
Maxwellâs reaction was the same as hers, with his eyes wide open and a disbelieving expression.
âAre you telling the truth?â
He couldnât believe his ears.
Heather nodded firmly. âYes, we also heard from Xavier.â
âAnd he remembers what happened that day very clearly.â
After being confirmed, Maxwell laughed as if he had recovered completely.
He was so delighted that he wanted to leave the hospital and find Katherine back himself.
This would become the most important thing for the Levine family.
When Christopher arrived at the hospital, he saw this joyful scene in front of him.
He frowned slightly and thought, âThatâs right. Iâm in the hospital. Why is my grandfather so happy?â
Before he could figure it out, Maxwell started blaming him. âWhy are you still standing here? Hurry up go find your wife and son!â
and Christopher shot a meaningful look at his mother and held his forehead.
As soon as Christopher arrived, Heather noticed that Maxwell was getting more excited. She patted Williamâs back and said, âDad, the doctor told you not to get emotional. Christopher has arranged for people to search for Katherine. You must focus on recovering your strength to play with the baby.
Children can be mischievous these days, and it takes a collective effort from several people just to care for one.â
Heatherâs words worked, and Maxwell soon calmed down.
âYes, youâre right. I have to take good care of myself.â
Maxwell was in good condition and didnât need to be accompanied at night.
After a while, Maxwell was sleepy and went to bed early.
Heather had a driver to send her back to the Levine manor.
Christopher decided to return to Osimor Residence.
