Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 46: I Once Loved You So Much

At this moment, Candace Ford’s tears were indeed a true expression of emotion.

Before the IVF, she lay in bed for a month, receiving various injections. The first attempt failed, then the second and third, until finally on the fourth attempt, the fertilized egg successfully implanted.

After finally getting pregnant, various health indicators were still off, so she continued to stay on bed rest for another month to protect the pregnancy.

Every day was filled with injections; it was like living a life worse than death.

Fortunately, all her efforts were not in vain; she finally saved this child.

It was precisely because she was weak and unwilling to stay in the hospital that she pleaded with Jonas Hawthorne to take her home.

For Candace Ford, this child was her only bargaining chip and trump card.

Without this child, she would have nothing.

Perhaps she subconsciously knew that if she didn’t have the child, she might really be unable to compete with Raine Sinclair.

Jonas Hawthorne saw her crying so sorrowfully, slightly furrowed his brows, and handed over a tissue, "The doctor said, your body is not suitable for pregnancy, why do this..."

"Because I love you! Jonas, I really want to have a child for you; this is my lifelong dream!" Candace suddenly looked up, her tear-streaked face looking at Jonas Hawthorne, pitiful yet very determined.

With things as they are, there’s no turning back, and Jonas Hawthorne no longer tried to persuade her.

Instead, thinking of what had just happened, he said softly, "This time, thanks to Raine Sinclair."

"..." Candace was suddenly stunned.

Her stomach no longer hurt so much, and knowing that the child was safe, she didn’t feel much gratitude towards Raine Sinclair.

With Jonas Hawthorne present, Raine Sinclair was just putting on a show!

How could she do nothing in front of Jonas Hawthorne?

Though her heart thought this way, what Candace said was, "Yes, thanks to Raine, I must express my gratitude to her another day."

As for how to thank her, it all depended on her mood.

In any case, she would ensure not to disappoint Raine Sinclair.

Jonas Hawthorne nodded, then remembered something Leo Keane said outside the door, and inexplicably asked, "Candace, the other day you said you saw Raine Sinclair downstairs at Haworth, is that true?"

Candace was taken aback, not expecting Jonas Hawthorne to suddenly bring this up.

Her eyes flashed, her mind quickly spinning, "It’s true! I saw her take a file folder inside, and it was Finn Wyatt’s assistant who personally took her up."

As she said this, her tone was extremely earnest.

As if she indeed saw it with her own eyes.

Jonas Hawthorne’s expression grew slightly darker.

The information he had gathered was that Raine Sinclair sold Hawthorne Group’s secrets to Finn Wyatt.

Adding Candace’s testimony, it must indeed have been Raine Sinclair.

Candace saw Jonas Hawthorne fall into thought, worriedly asked, "Jonas, why are you suddenly asking about this? Is something wrong?"

"Nothing." Jonas Hawthorne replied.

"You aren’t suspecting Raine, are you? She would never do such things, you know she once liked you so much, she..." Candace continued to incite.

Jonas Hawthorne frowned, slightly irritated, "Enough."

Candace then pretended to cautiously close her mouth, shifting to another topic, "Jonas, since you’re here at the hospital too, why not also get checked? After all, you still have old injuries, I’m worried about you."

Mentioning the old injuries, the first person Jonas Hawthorne thought of was Raine Sinclair.

If it weren’t for her...

A large stone seemed to block his heart, unusually heavy.

"Rest well." Throwing out this sentence, Jonas Hawthorne turned and left the ward.

"Jonas..." Candace called his name reluctantly, but the moment he turned, a cold smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

Whether it was colluding with Finn Wyatt or Jonas’s old injuries, she was behind it all, framing Raine Sinclair.

Otherwise, how could they have gotten divorced as she wished?

Unfortunately, that stupid Raine Sinclair would never know the truth.

Jonas Hawthorne also grew to resent Raine Sinclair due to those two matters, and now with Leon Grant stirring things up, it was truly divine assistance!

Look, after all the twists and turns, Jonas Hawthorne still belonged to her!

——

Outside the door.

Leo Keane and Joel Shelby were nearly done talking when they saw Jonas Hawthorne come out.

Seeing his expression was off, Joel Shelby quickly nudged Leo Keane, quietly advising, "Don’t say anything unnecessary!"

"I know, Uncle! Do you think I’m a three-year-old kid? I definitely won’t say anything!" Leo Keane rolled his eyes, did he really look so unreliable?

Seeing this, Joel Shelby was somewhat relieved, then turned to Jonas Hawthorne as he approached, "Mr. Hawthorne, Ms. Ford she..."

But before he could finish, the little rascal next to him bounded up to Jonas Hawthorne, bluntly asking, "Candace did artificial insemination? You two didn’t, you know?"

Joel Shelby, "..."

This kid’s brain wasn’t filled with mush, was it?

Leo Keane didn’t care about his uncle’s expression, his mind was full of curiosity, not asking was making him uncomfortable!!

As for Jonas Hawthorne, the person involved...

He squinted, first looking at Joel Shelby.

Joel Shelby immediately recoiled, his forehead covered in fine sweat!

Clearly, this was let out by his mouth.

He now felt like strangling his nephew!

But Leo Keane was utterly unobservant, continuing to chase Jonas Hawthorne, "What’s going on? Why didn’t you tell me? You only told me about your injury afterward too! Do you still consider me a brother?!"

Seeing Jonas Hawthorne’s face grow darker, Joel Shelby cursed angrily, "Enough! That’s Mr. Hawthorne’s private matter, why should he tell you? Get out of here!"

Leo Keane was pushed aside, clearly unwilling, "Uncle, let me finish asking!"

By this time, Joel Shelby was already trying to placate Jonas Hawthorne with a smile, "Mr. Hawthorne, please don’t mind, I assure you this matter won’t spread! Rest assured!"

Jonas Hawthorne glanced at Leo Keane behind him, "That might be difficult."

Joel Shelby immediately understood what he meant, hurriedly patted his chest in assurance, "Don’t worry! As long as I’m here, Leo absolutely won’t dare to utter a word! You know he’s most afraid of his father, I’ll talk to his dad!"

Upon hearing this, Jonas Hawthorne nodded lightly, "How is Candace’s condition?"

"A bit troublesome." Joel Shelby deliberately made it sound more serious, "The hospital that performed the artificial insemination for Ms. Ford probably mentioned she has a very weak constitution, not suitable for childbirth at this time, and seeing the situation now isn’t great. Moreover..."

Jonas Hawthorne squinted, a hint of displeasure in his dark eyes, "Speak."

Joel Shelby’s heart tightened, then said, "Moreover, Ms. Ford has a rare blood type, should anything happen, it might be difficult to secure blood transfusions."

At this moment, Leo Keane squeezed in, "Rh-negative blood? I remember sister-in-law has the same blood type!"

Hearing this, Joel Shelby was stunned for a moment before recalling that by sister-in-law, Leo meant Raine Sinclair, right?
