Chapter 58

Isaac finally turned around to look at Whitney as he coldly growled,“Bring him over.” At the same time, Whitney was dumbstruck as asense of panic slowly seized her.” Doctor? What doctor?”

Isaac then took a seat on the couch in the ward, folding his legselegantly as he spoke,” Weren't you saying that you suffered from amiscarriage? And after that, the doctor who operated on you fled for noreason? My man managed to reach him, and we're bringing him backas we speak.”

Whitney's legs caved, and she almost dropped to the floor in sheerterror.

In reality, she had been the first person who regained consciousnessafter the accident. She quickly spent a huge amount of money to payoff the doctor operating her, so that he would tell Isaac's secretary thatshe had suffered from a miscarriage and lost her baby.

The money she gave him naturally included the money he would needto run away... but Isaac was saying that he had now been capturedand brought back? Whitney began, “Listen to me, Isaac...” “You cantalk all you want later. Patience,” Isaac growled as he suddenly turnedtoward her.

Amenacing aura seemed to spill from his towering form like a storm,and Whitney's legs seemed to turn to jelly as she dropped to the floor.But even though she was trembling, she slowly crawled forward andgingerly grabbed the hem of his trousers, crying, “Please, don't listen tohis lies... Would I ever lie to you...?"

Isaac looked down on her, dragging her own body over the floormiserably. Was there anything about her that was likable? Was thereanything about her that was worth his affection? And yet, he had fallenfor her that night.

Now, it only seemed that the tenderness in the darkness would not lastin the light.

Meanwhile, Isaac's secretary returned, leading two men who werekeeping the doctor restrained.

There was bruising on the doctor's face.

It was obvious that he had been interrogated beforehand, and theinstant he saw Whitney, he cried, “That's her — that’s the woman! Shepaid me off and told me to lie to

you!”

Whitney promptly looked up and shot him an angry glare. “What areyou talking

about?! I don’t even know you!”

Naturally, she was not going to admit to anything, and it was true thatthe doctor was not an acquaintance of hers. In fact, he would not havelied in the first place if he was not enticed by the money offered, butnow that he had been captured by Isaac, he was suddenly perfectlyaware of whom he should never have offended.

“Yes, you don't know me, but it's the truth that you'd definitely bribedme and told me to tell a lie. I have evidence that I received your money,and it'll just take a quick check to replace out who I got the money from.”Pausing for a moment, the doctor then added, “Also, you were neverpregnant. That can be checked as well — we happen to be in a hospital,after all.”

“Don't try to slander me!” Whitney screamed, struggling even thoughher fate was sealed. “Please, Isaac, you can't listen to his lies...”

“Lies or not, we'll know once we've checked,” Isaac retorted, and heldout a hand.

His secretary promptly presented him with the bank records, whichshowed that Whitney had indeed bribed the doctor.

Isaac scanned through it with an impassive expression and flung therecords at Whitney's face when he was done. “You never know when togive up, do you?” he growled, and turned toward his secretary. “Takeher away and get her checked.” “No, I won't go!” Whitney cried as shewrapped herself around Isaac's foot. “Please, you have to believe me.He's just trying to set me up...” “Why would I do that? I have nothingagainst you,” the doctor countered. Isaac lost all his patience right then,and barked, “Take her away already!” The burly men standing behindhis secretary promptly dragged Whitney away from him, and despiteher reluctance, she was forced into the pregnancy tests.

The results were out after just half an hour, and Isaac's secretaryreturned to him to report, “Ms. Cox was never pregnant. In fact, she'scurrently on her period.”

Isaac glowered right then. So that was why he saw the blood tricklingout between her legs... and for some reason, the fact that she wasnever pregnant left him breathing a sigh of relier!

At the bottom of his heart, he was not eager to have a child with thatwoman, and things were just right now. “Bring her here,” he said fatly.“Yes, sir.” “The secretary lest again.

With the truth revealed with irrefutable evidence, Whitney could nolonger try to lie her way out of it.

All she could do right now was to cry a river as she did all she could toplead for mercy, while looking utterly miserable. “Please, Isaac, forgiveme this one time... Didn't I save your life? I only did all this because Ilove you!”

Somehow, Isaac was becoming calm instead of angry or irritated. “Youlove me?" Isaac repeated her words with much irony. “Is that how youlove someone, by deceiving them?” “No... That's not it. It's just that Imade a mistake because I was so in love with you, I didn't mean todeceive you!” One must admit that Whitney had a way with words...
