Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 120: No Escape, No Way Out

William Jennings fell silent.

Such things cannot be kept secret.

When the child is born, it’s quite easy to conduct a test.

No matter how Raine plans, the child is ultimately Jonas Hawthorne’s.

William Jennings didn’t deny it any further, nor did he admit anything. Instead, he changed the topic, "I heard the woman outside having Jonas’s child is about to give birth? If you want the Hawthorne bloodline, you should look for that woman."

The topic shifted to Candace Ford, and Silas Linton was momentarily stunned, then quickly snapped back, disdainfully saying, "Our Hawthorne family has never accepted women of unknown origins! That child is just a bas*****, how can it compare to the one Raine is carrying?"

It wasn’t that Silas was heartless.

She knew children were innocent, regardless of Candace’s actions, the child shouldn’t carry a bad reputation before it’s born.

But that’s the way the world is now.

Some people and things just shouldn’t exist.

The fault wasn’t the child’s, it was Candace Ford’s.

It’s just unfortunate the child was born into the wrong family...

Silas’s words were also a message to William Jennings.

Candace Ford’s child could never surpass Raine Sinclair’s child.

William Jennings nodded upon hearing this, "It seems the Hawthorne family still has the most basic rules."

At this moment, Silas was even more certain that Raine Sinclair was carrying their Hawthorne descendant!

Otherwise, given William Jennings’s character, he wouldn’t bother saying another word to her!

Realizing this, Silas suddenly stood up, forgetting she wasn’t fully recovered. Her sudden movement caused her vision to black out for a moment, and her body swayed!

"Sister?" William Jennings, seeing she looked unwell, quickly inquired.

Silas waved her hand to indicate she was fine, but when she tried to speak, she found she couldn’t utter a single word!

Her mind seemed to heat up, and then she completely lost consciousness.

William Jennings only heard a "thud!" and saw Silas collapse right in front of him.

The atmosphere instantly became tense!

"Sister! Sister? What’s wrong with you?!"

William Jennings cried out, and the servants immediately rushed over, hurriedly carrying Silas to the sofa.

A chorus of worried voices surrounded them, and Sharon Jennings came over to pinch Silas’s philtrum. Only then did Silas slowly open her eyes. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Seeing the countless faces filled with concern, Silas asked dully, "Did I faint again?"

These days, she often felt inexplicably weak, especially when making vigorous movements, leading to frequent dizziness.

Fainting wasn’t unusual anymore; she never went to the hospital, assuming it was just aging and natural health decline.

In hindsight, the frequency of fainting was becoming too high.

"Sister, comparing your health to mine, you’re far behind!" William Jennings sighed nearby.

He was indeed startled just now.

If Jonas Hawthorne’s grandmother had any mishap here, it would be hard to explain!

Sharon Jennings also exhaled deeply, "You’re finally awake!"

Seeing the concern, Silas didn’t dwell on her condition, quickly seizing the opportunity, "Where’s Raine? I want to see her..."

Sharon Jennings, guessing why she wanted to see her daughter, immediately refused, "Raine is a bit tired, she’s resting. Madam, you should take care of your health and let the children’s issues resolve themselves."

"Ah, I’m already halfway to the grave, supposedly carefree, but my unworthy grandson gives me no peace! I just want to see Raine once before I die, or I’ll never rest in peace!"

Silas lamented while observing the expressions of the Jennings father and daughter.

Even she hadn’t expected to resort to such tactics in her old age.

She had no choice; without this, how would Raine agree to see her?

She had no choice but to try everything to bring Raine back to the Hawthorne family.

Sharon Jennings, realizing her scheme, had a stiff expression, avoiding the topic by calling the butler, "Have you called 120? Quickly take Madam to the hospital for a thorough check-up, health shouldn’t be taken lightly!"

"It’s already called!" The butler nodded, but before he turned, Silas loudly interjected, "No need, no need, just let me see Raine!"

The butler hesitated, then looked at Sharon Jennings.

Before she could speak, William Jennings sighed, "Oh well, go call Raine down."

"Dad?" Sharon Jennings was the first to object, about to say something, when she saw her father shake his head.

Reluctantly, Sharon Jennings fell silent, instead giving the butler a slight nod.

The butler then turned and went upstairs.

Raine Sinclair was surprised to hear Silas had fainted, "Is Grandma okay?"

"She just woke up and wants to see you before she dies..." The butler, unaware of Silas’s exact state, only relayed her words.

"What?!" This startled Raine Sinclair!

Talking about a last meeting before death, how severe could it be!

Without a second thought, Raine Sinclair rushed downstairs!

Silas had faked illness before to deceive her, but now she had fainted publicly, it couldn’t possibly be fake, right?

Even if it was pretend... Raine Sinclair couldn’t take this chance.

The butler hadn’t expected the young lady to run so fast and quickly followed, "Miss! You can’t run so fast! Slow down!"

——

Outside the courtyard.

Jonas Hawthorne was soaked.

The driver offered him an umbrella, but he refused.

Consider it a form of self-punishment.

Standing outside the Sinclair family, no matter how heavy the rain, he can only endure it, how could he deserve an umbrella?

It wasn’t long before a Sinclair servant rushed out, urgently saying, "Mr. Hawthorne, your grandmother has fainted, please come quickly!"

Jonas Hawthorne furrowed his brows and hurried towards the Sinclair family without a moment’s pause!

His heart was now gripped with anxiety!

His grandmother was already elderly and unwell, and she made the effort to come here for him.

If anything happened to her, how could he fulfill his duty as a grandson?

Quickly entering the Sinclair family gates, Jonas Hawthorne left the servant far behind.

Though he hadn’t been there many times, he remembered the way.

In quick strides, he reached the living room just in time to meet Raine Sinclair running down the stairs.

Both arrived almost simultaneously.

Seeing each other, they froze.

Perhaps neither expected such timing.

It’s as if fate, an unseen thread, bound them together.

Some people, some things, you just can’t avoid or escape.
