Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 170: Our Child Is Gone

"It’s none of your business." Raine Sinclair no longer looked at him, but instead closed her eyes, not wanting to continue the conversation.

Jonas Hawthorne naturally felt her rejection and wasn’t angry; instead, he softened his voice, "What do you plan to do about Lily Sinclair’s situation?"

Hearing this, Raine Sinclair opened her eyes again and looked at him, "Will she go to jail?"

"It’s up to you," Jonas Hawthorne replied.

He had learned the general outline of the events.

Making Lily Sinclair go to jail wasn’t difficult.

But releasing her safely was also quite simple.

The key was what result Raine Sinclair wanted.

His words were so clear, and Raine Sinclair naturally understood.

"She didn’t drug your ’white moonlight.’" Raine quickly clarified for Lily Sinclair, worried that he might vent his anger on her.

"I’ll get to the truth," Jonas Hawthorne replied.

Raine Sinclair frowned, finding it impossible to plead for Lily Sinclair, especially if Candace Ford’s child was really gone, then... nothing could be done.

After a long contemplation, Raine Sinclair spoke each word slowly, "I hope Mr. Hawthorne can act fairly, or else, the Sinclair Family is not to be underestimated."

Hearing this, Jonas Hawthorne’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Raine, do we have to be so distant?"

He parted his thin lips, his tone full of powerlessness and solitude.

Her deliberately evasive gaze, her intentionally cold manner of speaking, all these deeply pierced his heart.

"We’re already divorced. What more do you want?" Raine Sinclair responded coolly, "Do I need to remind you that it was you who proposed the divorce back then?"

"..." In an instant, Jonas Hawthorne’s face turned pale.

In the silence between them, a nurse suddenly rushed in from outside the door, "Mr. Hawthorne, Ms. Ford... Ms. Ford’s child is gone..."

With one sentence, it completely shattered all the stiffness lingering between the two.

Raine Sinclair was taken aback and hurriedly looked at Jonas Hawthorne.

But the next second, she saw him already turning and leaving the hospital room...

The heart that had been melancholy suddenly had a missing piece.

He... still cares about Candace Ford that much...

—

Jonas Hawthorne quickly arrived at the surgery room downstairs; the doctor had already come out, looking troubled, and spoke apologetically, "Mr. Hawthorne, we really tried our best... Ms. Ford’s body was already weak, combined with emotional fluctuations, the child... Moreover, I see that in this situation, the child probably lost its heartbeat several days ago. It just happened to develop today..."

Candace Ford’s pregnancy was forced from the beginning.

Her physical condition was not good initially, and later the doctors strongly urged her to rest in bed; she insisted on running around, overthinking, and not coming for check-ups on time.

Coupled with hearing that Raine Sinclair had not been trapped by her schemes, her emotions fluctuated greatly, and the child was lost just like that.

Jonas Hawthorne’s jawline suddenly tightened.

Even though he didn’t have an ounce of affection for Candace Ford anymore, but that child... ultimately was his blood.

And now, it’s gone...

Levi Lane was also by his side, "Mr. Hawthorne, you have my condolences."

After a brief feeling of sorrow, Jonas Hawthorne squinted at the doctor, "Did you just say that the child had already lost its heartbeat before? Not due to any drugs?"

"Well... for now, Ms. Ford doesn’t show symptoms of poisoning," the doctor replied.

When Candace Ford was brought over, the nurses provided references, suggesting she might have ingested something wrong, but after examinations, it was found she showed no signs of poisoning.

Upon hearing this, Jonas Hawthorne said, "Issue a proof that she’s not poisoned."

"Yes," the doctor nodded, not daring to ask more.

Not long after the surgery was done, Candace Ford woke up.

Learning that her child was gone, she cried bitterly, repeatedly blaming Raine Sinclair, insisting that Raine must repay her child...

Jonas Hawthorne listened outside the door for a long time before sighing and stepping inside.

Before he could see the layout of the hospital room, a thin, disheveled woman fell from the bed in a struggle, desperately throwing herself into his arms.

"Jonas! You’ve finally come! Waaa, our child is gone! Our child..."

With this cry, Jonas Hawthorne believed that she was truly grieving for the child.

No matter what Candace Ford had done, she ultimately did carry that child, and now that the child was gone, the pain in her heart probably didn’t need to be feigned.

At this moment alone, Jonas Hawthorne no longer acted cold towards her.

He slightly raised his hand, and after much thought, still gently patted her shoulder, even if the action was terribly awkward.

"Waaa! Our son..."

Candace Ford’s shrill cries almost echoed throughout the entire floor.

Even the nurses who had heard countless stories of human suffering in the hospital couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow in their hearts.

If given the choice, who would wish for their unborn child not to survive...

Also in the hospital, Silas Linton received the news.

"Sigh,"

She sighed softly, sinking back onto her hospital bed.

Even though she disliked Candace Ford, thinking of her as a malicious lineage, but... ultimately, that child was also an offspring of the Hawthorne Family.

Originally planning to stay by her side and educate the child well, perhaps even reversing their nature.

Unexpectedly, the child was also unfortunate.

"What a sin!"

Another long sigh followed as Silas Linton wiped tears from the corners of her eyes.

The Hawthorne Family, what has really happened to them...

Candace Ford cried for a long time.

Jonas Hawthorne had never left; he knew he felt no affection for this woman, but she had carried his child.

Intending to arrange her life after this, but instead heard her suddenly say, "Our child never got the chance to properly see this world... Jonas, it’s all Raine Sinclair’s fault, it’s her fault! Because of her, our child is gone! I must seek revenge on her!"

Upon hearing this, Jonas Hawthorne’s dark eyes fiercely sank!

"What does this have to do with Raine Sinclair? Candace, I know it was you who ordered Lily Sinclair to drug her, and in anger, you lost the child."

His voice was cold, devoid of any remaining apologetic feeling for this woman.

Candace Ford was startled, her gaze beginning to flicker.

Realizing her actions couldn’t be concealed, she couldn’t explain it away, and thus took another path, shifting all the blame away!

"It was... it was Lily Sinclair who drugged me! Yes! Her sister must have instructed her, that’s why my child is gone! Jonas, it was the Sinclair sisters who joined forces to hurt our son! He was about to be born! It was Raine Sinclair who hurt our child; I want to find her, I want her to pay for my child’s life!"

Candace Ford cried until her voice was almost gone!

Her face, already pale, now appeared even sallow, streaked with tears.

This child was her entire bargaining chip, her life!

How could it be gone?!

Why did fate have to be so cruel?

Having given her a child, why was it taken back?

She had lost control of her thoughts and actions...

Deeply trapped in the dark mire, all she wanted was to drag Raine Sinclair down with her!

"Enough," Jonas Hawthorne said coldly, cutting off her baseless accusations.
