Why would you make yourself suffer this way? You’re an adult now. Can you grow a brain and leave
some dignity for yourself?”
“Don’t think that you can marry sessfully into the Scotts just because you’re pregnant. I’ll be honest
with you. The Scotts don’t like you at all! If you continue to be this way and keep getting involved with
Eugene Scott, you’ll just end up being miserable
Howard’s words sessfully made Mnie stop in her footsteps.
She turned back to look at Howard with a cold look on her face. There was a distant and frosty look in
her eves
Howard’s chest tightened at the sight of her staring back at him. He realized he had just revealed what
was really on his mind.
He pulled himself together and calmed down. He wanted tofort Mnie, but before he could say
another word, Mnie spoke up coldly, “Are you here to tell me all of this because of Peyton Turner
and Evelyn Shue?
“You said I should take a good look at myself and I would end up being miserable if I didn’t do so, right?
Let me ask you this.
“Does Peyton Turner know that you have a wife in Oskon City? Does she know how low you can go
just to get into her good graces? Are you about to abandon your wife and children once again?”
Mnie sounded calm. Howard’s words had reminded her of his rtionship with Peyton. She
understood the reason why Howard was here to see her.

This was probably an attempt from him to earn some brownie points with Peyton. He was making use
of Mnie to give Peyton and Evelyn a good impression of him.
Mnie had exposed Howard’s intentions, and he was enraged by it. “What nonsense are you talking
about?”

She nced coldly at him. “You know very well what I’m talking about. I’m just trying to remind you not
to rely on a woman’s money too much. Otherwise, you’ll forget what it’s like to have self- respect!”

Mnie turned away after that. She took a few steps forward before suddenly remembering something.
She looked back at Howard with her chin slightly lowered and said to him, “Also, tell Evelyn Shue to
stop being so dramatic. She can marry whoever she wants to. Tell her that I have nothing to do with
Eugene Scott or the Scotts.”
She left Howard behind and headed to the bank. While she was waiting in the bank, she kept feeling
the baby moving inside of her. She wondered if it was a result of her being working too much recently.
It was a strange feeling.
This strange feeling made her anxious, and this continued until nighttime. Reny blinked and
reminded her, “When are you going to collect your report? Didn’t you just have a screening test for
Down syndrome?”
Xander had just walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of warm chowder for Mnie. He looked at her
tenderly and said in a soft voice, “I’m free tomorrow. I can apany you to the hospital.”
Reny quietly left the room to give them some privacy.
Mnie looked up and met Xander’s bright eyes.
The test screening for Down syndrome was mandatory. Mnie had taken the test before she left for
Prime City. It was the right time to collect the report.
It was a lousy coincidence that a huge bus with LeapCo’s logo was parked outside the hospital. Their
employees must be here for apany medical check–up
Mnie turned away after giving it a nce. She headed straight for her doctor’s office.
She had been visiting this doctor since she found out she was pregnant.
When Mnie entered the office, the doctor gave her a report with a serious look on her face. She
checked the information several times before handing it to Mnie hesitantly.
“I hope you’re prepared for what I’m about to tell you, Miss Smith.”
The doctor paused before looking at Mnie to say, “Your results aren’t positive. There’s a high chance
that your baby might be malformed.”
Mnie looked at the data on the report. They were simple numbers, but she could not digest any of
them when put together.
The doctor reminded her, “In such situations, our hospital would suggest an inducedbor as soon as
possible. Let us know the earliest time you cane to the hospital for the surgery.
