Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 93: How Could She Fall in Love with Someone Else?
The persistent questioning sounded so harsh to Jonas Hawthorne’s ears.
His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he fell silent.
To outsiders, did he really appear so heartless toward Raine Sinclair?
Even Leo Keane couldn’t help but interject, "Mr. Grant, don’t you think you’re going a bit too far? Last time when Candace Ford was sent to the hospital, as far as I know, it was by choice. And this time... she’s the only one in the city who can save Candace and her baby. Today, Uncle Sinclair happens to be out of town too..."
They had already looked into Evan Sinclair, and he had gone fishing outside the city; he couldn’t rush back in time.
Moreover... Leo Keane had witnessed everything, and Jonas Hawthorne hadn’t forced Raine Sinclair.
"Hmph." But Leon Grant wasn’t interested in hearing these weak explanations; he only cared about Raine Sinclair. "If anything happens to her, Jonas Hawthorne, I won’t let you off!"
As he spoke these words, Leon Grant’s heart skipped a beat!
Even he hadn’t realized how much Raine Sinclair meant to him already.
In the midst of their argument, a nurse suddenly shouted from Raine Sinclair’s room, "It’s not good! The patient’s blood pressure is dropping rapidly, and her heart rate has fallen below forty! Get a doctor here, quick!"
A series of exclamations made everyone’s hearts hang in suspense!
"What’s going on?!"
Jonas Hawthorne quickly turned towards Raine Sinclair’s room, and Leon Grant also frowned, visible worry on both their faces!
Leo Keane also craned his neck to look inside, "Is sister-in-law okay?"
They couldn’t understand, how could just drawing some blood cause her heart rate to drop below forty?
At that moment, Leon Grant suddenly seemed to realize something. He turned back in rage, grabbing Jonas Hawthorne by the collar and shouting, "Do you know you almost cost her life?!"
Jonas Hawthorne had no time to respond when a group of doctors rushed over, all looking frantic.
Soon, a nurse came out, urgently asking, "Who’s the patient’s family? What is the patient’s condition, does she have any underlying health issues?"
Jonas Hawthorne was about to say no, but Leon Grant quickly stepped in, "I am! She has no underlying conditions, just that she’s pregnant!"
"What?" The nurse asked in shock, "How could she have so much blood drawn while pregnant?"
This might be the reason the patient’s vitals became unstable!
Leon Grant didn’t answer, instead turning back to stare fiercely at Jonas Hawthorne!
The latter was already in a daze...
Raine Sinclair... is pregnant?
The nurse, unaware of the complications between these people, asked, "How far along is the pregnancy?"
"One month," Leon Grant blurted out.
The short three words cut into Jonas Hawthorne’s heart like the sharpest knife.
Earlier, upon hearing that Raine Sinclair was pregnant, his first reaction was that the child was his own!
He had suspected before, even taken her to the hospital for an examination!
But Leon Grant’s mention of one month extinguished the last bit of thought Jonas Hawthorne had.
One month...
He and Raine Sinclair had been divorced for two months; if that were the case, then whose child was this?
Leon Grant’s?
When this thought crossed his mind, Jonas Hawthorne turned back to look at Leon Grant, his hands by his side quietly clenching into fists!
The nurse, having understood the basic situation, returned to the room, leaving the three of them outside the door.
The atmosphere among them seemed to plunge into an icy chill.
Leo Keane was equally shocked...
A month ago, didn’t Leon Grant just return to the country?
How could sister-in-law have been with him...
Looking back at Jonas Hawthorne, his face had completely darkened, exuding a strange aura of hostility!
Unconsciously stepping back, Leo Keane feared being hurt by that murderous aura!
Leon Grant, however, remained quite composed, locking eyes with Jonas Hawthorne and sneering coldly, "Didn’t you know that Raine is my girlfriend? We’re young, isn’t it normal to be expecting?"
Raine Sinclair had previously said she didn’t want Jonas Hawthorne to know about her pregnancy, but now it couldn’t be hidden, so he could only admit it openly.
He hoped Raine Sinclair wouldn’t blame him when she woke up.
While Leon Grant contemplated this, Jonas Hawthorne interrupted him, "Impossible."
His tone was firmly resolute, allowing no room for rebuttal!
"How is it impossible?" Leon Grant raised his brow, continuing, "You can rekindle an old flame, but she can’t love someone new?"
Hearing this, a sharp pain shot through Jonas Hawthorne’s heart!
How could she love someone else?
How could she?!
At that moment, there was another commotion from inside the ward, and Leo Keane quickly stopped the quarreling pair.
"Stop arguing! She’s still being resuscitated!"
After calling her sister-in-law, Leo Keane paused, wondering if he could still call her that in the future?
His words broke the tension between Jonas Hawthorne and Leon Grant.
They both looked inside, intently—
They saw a group of doctors and nurses around Raine Sinclair, the bed covered with various instruments and tubes...
Yet, as the focus of everyone’s attention, Raine Sinclair seemed completely unaware.
Her small face was almost translucently pale, her breathing so faint, only just supported by the ventilator.
The ECG monitor beside her emitted a constant series of beeping alarms, the room plunging into a tense atmosphere.
Seeing this, Jonas Hawthorne’s heart ached again, without warning.
He pressed his right hand against his chest, brows furrowed, as if in immense pain.
Leo Keane, standing closest, quickly noticed his abnormality and instinctively asked, "What’s the matter with you again?"
Two people were lying in the hospital, and now he was uncomfortable again?
Jonas Hawthorne, in too much pain to respond, simply glared at him, clearly indicating for him to shut up!
At this moment, Leon Grant also noticed Jonas Hawthorne’s strange behavior, suspicion surfacing in his eyes.
Was this his reaction upon seeing Raine Sinclair?
If so, what was the cause?
Heartache?
Could Jonas Hawthorne be in such pain at seeing Raine Sinclair in critical condition?
Lying on the hospital bed, Raine Sinclair, oblivious to the outside world, only felt a bone-deep coldness, as if plunged into an eternal icy abyss, every bone in her body freezing with pain...
Struggling to open her eyes, she found herself unable to do so, like a drowning person devoid of resistance.
Meanwhile, in the room on the right, Candace Ford awoke.
The nurse quickly ran to Jonas Hawthorne, excitedly announcing, "Mr. Hawthorne, Ms. Ford is awake!"
As she finished, Leon Grant scoffed from the side, "Congratulations, Mr. Hawthorne!"
