Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 72: What Are You Hiding?

Taking a deep breath, Candace Ford finally made up her mind.

"This last matter concerns that old lady from the Hawthorne Family..."

She deliberately lowered her voice, forcing Rhys Rhodes to lean closer to hear clearly.

The clearer he heard, the more shocked he became!

Who would have thought that such a frail woman could have such a vicious heart!

The glass doors not far away completely isolated the dark schemes inside the restaurant from the bustling, sunlit streets...

Despite being only a few meters apart, it was as if they belonged to two different worlds.

One thought leads to paradise, another to hell.

——

An hour later.

Jonas Hawthorne’s car drove into a hospital owned by the Hawthorne Group.

As soon as she saw the big red words "Crestwood Medical University Hospital" on the square building, Raine Sinclair’s heart suddenly tightened!

"Why did you bring me here?"

She blurted out.

What reason would there be to come to a hospital, who’s sick?

Could it be grandma?

Jonas Hawthorne didn’t answer, he casually found a parking space in the underground garage and led Raine Sinclair to the elevator entrance.

"Hey! Jonas Hawthorne!" Raine Sinclair wanted to ask clearly, but this guy was like a mute, furiously secretive.

Her heart grew more anxious, could grandma really be hospitalized?

But she had just seen grandma recently, and she was in great health, walking even faster than her, not at all like someone who was sick...

It wasn’t until Jonas Hawthorne took her upstairs and a group of doctors and nurses surrounded her that she realized he had brought her for a check-up.

"Ms. Sinclair, this way please."

The young nurse politely motioned for her to follow.

Raine Sinclair didn’t move, frowning as she looked at Jonas Hawthorne, "What are you up to?"

"Go for a check-up." Jonas Hawthorne replied.

"Check-up for what? I’m not sick! The person who should be checked is you!" She retorted unceremoniously, instantly stepping back two steps, displaying obvious resistance!

She had worked so hard to hide her pregnancy from Jonas Hawthorne, a check-up would surely expose her!

And suddenly for no reason, Jonas Hawthorne brought her for a check-up; could he have discovered something?

Immense fear and anxiety quickly enveloped her, every cell in Raine Sinclair’s body was ringing alarm bells!

The surrounding medical staff were stunned hearing Raine Sinclair’s words!

They all knew Mr. Hawthorne had divorced, but they didn’t realize how formidable his ex-wife was, being so fierce towards Mr. Hawthorne?

She just cursed if she felt like it?

No one dared to look at Mr. Hawthorne’s expression, knowing that when the King of Hell got angry, it wasn’t something they could withstand!

If it were possible, they wished they had never heard Raine Sinclair’s words!

Unexpectedly, Mr. Hawthorne wasn’t angry, he merely asked, "Why? Are you afraid?"

"What do I have to be afraid of?!" Raine Sinclair almost immediately responded, unaware that this made her appear more guilty.

Jonas Hawthorne curled his lips into a cold smile, "Or, are you hiding something?"

A calm, unhurried sentence that strikes right at the heart.

Raine Sinclair involuntarily held her breath, watching Jonas Hawthorne, her eyes not daring to move!

How did this man know?

She hadn’t revealed anything...

Except for that day when she felt queasy while having a barbecue with Aaron Jacobs and the others... Was it because of that?

But Jonas Hawthorne didn’t react much at the time, nor did he question her afterwards; why today did he suddenly want her to undergo a check-up?

Puzzled, Jonas Hawthorne didn’t waste words with her, immediately turning to the group of medical staff behind him and giving a firm order, "Take her for a check-up."

"Yes, Mr. Hawthorne." The group nodded, then approached to surround Raine Sinclair, "Ms. Sinclair, please come with us."

"I’m not going!" Raine Sinclair shouted, her hands hanging at her sides quietly clenched into fists!

How could she have expected Jonas Hawthorne to play this hand!

Now she was deep in enemy territory, how could she escape?

She stared at the group in front of her, threatening through clenched teeth, "Just try to touch me!"

"Ms. Sinclair, please don’t make it difficult for us."

"Who’s making it difficult for whom?" Raine Sinclair had never seen someone force another to do a check-up like this!

Thinking quickly, simply talking to them was useless, she had to turn her gaze to the man coldly observing outside the crowd, her voice filled with teeth-gritted resentment, "Jonas Hawthorne, you better not make me hate you!"

Jonas Hawthorne saw her extreme reaction and instead fell into contemplation.

The main reason he brought her for a check-up was suspicion over her possible pregnancy.

That day during the meal, her reaction was almost identical to Candace Ford’s...

Later he consulted a reputable obstetrician who explained it as pregnancy nausea, but not every pregnant woman experiences it, and each person is different.

By symptoms alone, Raine Sinclair’s condition at that time seemed like pregnancy nausea, but it could also be gastrointestinal discomfort.

However...

After all, they were husband and wife, Jonas Hawthorne clearly remembered the time they spent together, calculating backwards, during that period he did have her frequently and without protection.

It wouldn’t be impossible if she were pregnant.

Inexplicably, Jonas Hawthorne suddenly felt deep down that Raine Sinclair was hiding something from him.

Or perhaps...this was not the last straw he subconsciously clung to—

If Raine Sinclair were truly pregnant with his child, could it mean there was still some possibility between them?

After pondering for a moment, he then replied, "It’s just a check-up, you don’t need to be so tense."

Saying this, he didn’t wait for Raine Sinclair to respond and directly ordered, "Take Ms. Sinclair for a check-up."

"Hey! You all..."

Raine Sinclair ultimately couldn’t escape their numbers tactic.

Led into the examination room with utmost desperation, she bit her lower lip tightly, desperately suppressing her inner panic!

No, she absolutely couldn’t panic now!

She must calm down, think of a way, how to escape danger?!

Once the check-up starts, her pregnancy can’t be hidden!

If Jonas Hawthorne finds out, he surely won’t let her have the child...

No, she must protect her child!

The nurse noticed her pale complexion and quickly reassured her, "Ms. Sinclair, you don’t need to worry, it’s all routine checks, won’t cause any discomfort."

Raine Sinclair couldn’t take these words seriously!

This was not just discomfort, it was a matter of life and death!

She clenched her fists and coldly said, "You’re restricting my personal freedom, I can sue you."

Originally intending to use a tough attitude to intimidate these nurses, making them retreat in fear.

Unexpectedly, the nurse was first stunned, then smiled brightly, "Ms. Sinclair, we advise you not to waste your efforts. Once Mr. Hawthorne decides to do something, no one can stop him."

She was hinting to Raine Sinclair that in Sedonia, Jonas Hawthorne was a force that covered the skies.
