Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle'-Chapter 363: Exposed on the Spot

Angelica forced out a sob. "Dad, Young Master Foster is such a distinguished figure—how could I possibly deserve his help? Just take me to the hospital. I can manage..."

Joe hesitated. "Angelica..."

"Who said Young Master Foster refused?"

Selina flashed a sly smile. "He’s actually quite kind. Since a life’s on the line, why not ask him before assuming anything?"

Before Joe could say a word, Aiden nodded. "Angelica’s condition can’t wait. Bring me my medical kit."

...What?

Joe froze—Aiden agreed? Just like that?

Wasn’t Young Master Foster supposed to be cold and aloof, someone who never intervened unless absolutely necessary? And he didn’t even know Angelica—why would he help?

But now wasn’t the time for questions. "Thank you, Young Master Foster!"

Angelica was cursing Joe in her head—this idiot! No way. Absolutely not!

"Dad, even if Young Master Foster is here, this place isn’t equipped like a hospital. I’d really rather go..."

"Angelica," Selina cut in smoothly, "do you not trust his medical skills, or are you doubting the Reid family’s doctors? You can relax. The Reid estate has fully equipped medical rooms—better than many hospitals. You’ll be well taken care of."

Selina looked straight at her, smiling as Angelica’s expression twisted in panic. Her smile deepened.

"Or... is it that you’re afraid to be examined by Young Master Foster? Are you hiding something? Could it be that you were never pregnant at all?"

"I am not afraid!"

Angelica snapped. Her nerves were already stretched thin, and Selina’s words made her snap completely.

"Good," Selina said sweetly. "Young Master Foster, please."

Tears streamed down Angelica’s face. "I... I just want a doctor I know... I..."

Selina shrugged. "Keep dodging, and I’ll really start thinking this pregnancy is fake. I mean, who refuses medical care right after a miscarriage? Unless there was no pregnancy to begin with."

"Shut up, Selina!" Joe roared, then turned to Angelica, voice softening, "Don’t worry, sweetheart, I’m right here with you."

"No—no, Dad—it hurts so much—I want to go to the hospital—don’t—!"

Angelica was sobbing hysterically. When she saw Aiden approaching with his medical kit, closer and closer, she finally broke down completely.

"NO!!"

Her piercing scream stunned everyone into silence.

Aiden calmly reached her and placed his fingers on her wrist to check her pulse. Angelica trembled in panic under his touch.

Joe anxiously asked, "Young Master Foster, how is my daughter? She’s going to be okay, right?"

Aiden glanced at Selina, who winked at him with a teasing smile and strolled back to Logan.

Logan narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice. "Mrs. Reid, a word of warning—the Reid family’s doctors are all loyal to Angelica. Even if she’s not pregnant, they’ll swear she is."

Selina blinked playfully. "But Reid family doctors aren’t Aiden. If he says Angelica isn’t pregnant, who’s going to argue?"

Logan’s brow lifted slightly. "So you’re that confident Aiden will back you up."

Selina huffed, chin up. "Of course."

Logan gave her a long look. "And what exactly is your relationship with Aiden?"

Selina smirked proudly. "I’m not telling. Guess."

Logan’s tone remained mild as he watched her face. "Aiden is your friend... someone you met while you were living in the ’countryside’..."

Then he paused. "Oh. So Aiden’s your brother."

Selina flushed, instantly defensive. "Logan!"

How dare he read her micro-expressions like that!

Logan let out a soft chuckle. "Since Young Master Foster is helping, I have nothing to worry about."

On the other side, Joe asked anxiously, "Young Master Foster, Angelica’s always been in fragile health, and now she’s had a miscarriage. I’m worried she might suffer lasting damage. Please, I’m begging you—"

"Morris Chairman, are you certain Angelica had a miscarriage?" Aiden interrupted calmly.

Joe was puzzled. "Of course. If it wasn’t a miscarriage, why would she be bleeding so much? And she said herself she miscarried!"

Wasn’t that the obvious truth? Everyone saw it—how could it be false?

Aiden said slowly, "Is that so? Because..."

Angelica’s heart jumped in panic. "Dad, I—I just wanted to have Logan’s baby... I love him so much, I—"

"But Miss Morris was never pregnant to begin with. So how could she have miscarried?"

Aiden ignored her desperate attempt to redirect and finished his sentence without hesitation.

...

The room fell completely silent.

Angelica’s expression froze.

Joe’s face darkened. "Young Master Foster, please don’t make baseless claims! Angelica couldn’t have faked it. The Reid family doctors examined her. If she wasn’t pregnant, why would the Reid family even let her stay here?!"

"That’s a question for Mrs. Reid," Aiden said, slipping on white gloves. "Why did Angelica claim she was carrying the Reid family heir when she wasn’t? Why was it so important for Logan to marry her? Care to explain, Mrs. Reid?"

Amelia stiffened. "I... I did it all for Logan..."

Angelica cut in quickly, trying to redirect, "Dad, are you really going to believe an outsider over me? You know me best—don’t you?" fгeewebnovёl.com

Tears poured down her face. "I don’t know why Young Master Foster would say such things... But the pregnancy and miscarriage were real. He’s Selina’s friend, right? He’s doing this on purpose—"

Joe started to regain his composure.

Yes. Why was he trusting a stranger over his own daughter? Angelica would never lie to him... would she?

Joe’s voice went cold. "Young Master Foster, if you won’t provide proper medical care, then please stop interfering. Mrs. Reid, please get some other doctors—"

"Then perhaps you can tell me, Chairman Morris..." Aiden cut in sharply, his voice colder now.

"...what exactly did Miss Morris miscarry? This bag of blood?"

With that, Aiden swiftly pulled something from beneath Angelica’s clothing—a concealed blood bag.

A blood bag.

A 1,000 ml IV blood bag, punctured and nearly drained, with only a little blood still trickling from the hole.

Why would a pregnant woman need to wear a blood bag?

So the blood on the floor—was it even hers? Or was it all just from the bag?

Was Angelica... ever actually pregnant?

Joe stood frozen. "Angelica?!"

Angelica shook her head in tears. "No, no—it’s not... That bag... it was... I..."

Clap. Clap. Clap.

Selina slowly started clapping.
