Chapter 31 He Finally Learned About My Pregnancy

The orphanage often had volunteers coming in to do charity work, including some artists and

entrepreneurs,

Most of these people were there for publicity, image rehabilitation, or to build a certain persona.

I hadn't met Ms. Alisa before, so I assumed she had just joined recently.

Perhaps it was just my imagination, but there was something unusually intense in the way she looked at

Luke.

Even though she tried to hide it. I could sense something wasn't quite right.

Alisa spoke gently, I see. Mr. Bolton, you're quite protective of your wife. It's truly admirable. You two must have a wonder relationship, don't you?"

Luke shifted uncomfortably, not wanting to engage in the topic. He said, "I'm here to pick her up."

"Pick her up? But I haven't seen Mrs. Bolton here lately Are you sure you're in the right place, Mr. Bolton?"

Lake tried to suppress his growing unease and quickly responded, "I need to speak with Mr. Peay. See you later.

He hurried off toward the orphanage director, Patrick Peay's office. Patrick was already waiting, a wide smile on his face, "Well, what a surprise, Mr. Bolton, you've come in person." Luke didn't want to exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point. Mr. Peay, has my wife been here recently?

Patrick shook his head and said, "Ms. Sander hasn't been in for over ten days. Is something wrong?"

The news of my disappearance hadn't reached the public yet, but seeing Luke come here had made Patrick instinctively anxious. He immediately began asking more questions. "It's nothing." Luke said, his heart sinking.

He didn't want my disappearance known. "When was the last time she was here? Was there anything different about that visit?"

I had spotted the uneasy look on Luke's face. Unfortunately, all was lost.

Patrick thought for a moment and said, "Ms. Sander's last visit was two days before her wedding. She brought a lot of candies and gifts for everyone. The kids were very happy, but strangely, Ms. Sander didn't scem joyful at all.

"And that's not the only odd thing. Patrick continued, eratching his head. "We all know that you and Ms. Sander have always had a stable relationship. You're childhood sweethearts, and everyone envies you about this. But over the past year, her emotions have been all over the place-sometimes happy. sometimes sad. Especially three months ago, she seemed to have gotten terribly ill. She lost a lot of weight, had no smile on her face and sent mo of her time here

Patrick looked at him in confusion. He asked, "Mr. Bolton, you're kidding, right? You are the one that is closest to her. If you didn't know about this, how would I know? Well, from that moment onwards, Ms. er often just stared off at the kids, sometimes even crying. When I asked her, she wouldn't say anything. She looked like she was falling apart.

Luke's face darkened as he recalled something, and he seemed deep in thought.

Thank you. Please let me know if she comes back," he said quietly.

"Of course, Patrick replied, watching him hurry off.

He muttered under his breath, "Seems like the rumors are true; their relationship has really changed."

Patrick was a kind man, and he'd suspected that something had been wrong between us for some time. He had often tried gently to nudge me toward resolving things, but I was so consumed by my desire for revenge that I couldn't hear anyone.. Unfortunately, I never saw Patrick again,

I watched as Luke took out his phone and dialed my number with practiced ease.

It was no surprise that the call went straight to voicemail.

As Luke left, he crossed paths with Alisa. She greeted him politely. "Mr. Bolton, leaving so soon?"

"Yeah."

Luke didn't pause to chat and quickly got into his car.

I saw him press his fingers to his temple, likely a sign that his headache was starting again.

Now, I could no longer help him to massage his head from the side.

"Noah, do you think Chloe's changed?" Luke suddenly asked in the quiet car.

Noah Rice, his assistant, looked confused. Luke's mood had been unpredictable lately, and even he couldn't figure him out.

"Mrs. Bolton's been getting quieter over the years, and she smiles less now."

Luke closed his eyes and massaged his temples. "Go on

"At first, she would argue with you from time to time, But then, she wouldn't say much, let alone explain anything. Most of the time, she just stood by and silently watched you and Ms. Anna interact, not saying a

word."

Luke's face hardened and pressed, "What else?"

Noah continued carefully, "At first, you really didn't like Ms. Anna. But little by little, you started caring more about her. You kept leaving Mrs. Bolton for her. Everything about Mrs. Bolton's changes can be traced back to you and Ms. Anna." Luke, for the first time, didn't immediately refute the comment. "Am I really that terrible?"

Noah gathered some courage and continued, "As an outsider, it really feels like you're going too far with Ms. Anna. There were many times when people who didn't know the situation thought that Ms. Anna was your fiancée. And Mrs. Bolton just stood there, watching silently. Maybe she had been hurt too many times, unwilling to explain or argue. But even then, you could still see that she cared for you. I think the real change in her happened three months ago.

"It's like she became a different person, Noah continued. "She stayed at the orphanage every day. The few times I ran into her, she seemed completely lost. She had lost so much weight, even her wedding dress was two sizes too small. The stylist had to pin it at the back That wedding dress had been altered and became Anna's dress. I lost 20 pounds in just three months, and the dress was far too loose for me now.

Even Noah had noticed, but my fiancée, remained oblivious.

Three months ago. Luke muttered, his voice low. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Noah.

"Take me to the hospital."

The biggest change in me had started three months ago. Luke had always thought it was just an attention-seeking stunt, but how could anyone maintain such a charade for three months and no one realize something was wrong?

What secret was hidden in that hospital?

The hospital.

The sharp scent of disinfectant filled Luke's nostrils as he headed toward the VIP ward.

Before he even got close, he overheard a conversation from a nearby nurse. "Honestly, Mrs. Bolton's really pitiful. During her pregnancy, her husband was completely indifferent. He came every day, but only to take care of his younger sister, never sparing a glance at his own wife."

"I heard that woman isn't even his real sister. They're not even related by blood."

"Isn't that just rubbing salt in the wound? No wonder Mrs. Bolton lost the baby. If I were her, I would have been driven mad."

Baby!

The word hit Luke's ears like a lightning bolt. His pupils dilated in shock.

And I stood there, indifferent. Was he finally going to learn about my pregnancy?

"Poor Mrs. Bolton, I heard she crawled out of her room when she miscarried. There was blood trailing behind her. She must have been so helpless at the time.."

Before the words even finished, Luke's voice rang out, "What do you mean by baby? Who was pregnant?! What do you mean by miscarriage?"
