Chapter 162


    The timing was just the day before ra’s birthday.


    So, ra had taken that medication, and on her birthday, whenn was off ying the hero for


    Heidi, ra miscarried their child. In other words, had he not insisted she take that medicine, their


    baby might have been spared. No wonder ra had used him of being the killer of their child.

    A floodgate of memories opened, andn’s eyes shimmered with the sheen of madness, the kind


    that spoke of despair and the sort of pain that gnaws at the soul.


    He remembered ra asking him what they would do if she was pregnant. His response was cold,


    a warning not to y the child card, assuring her his precautions were foolproof – no child would


    come of this.


    Now, the disappointment and pain in ra’s eyes at that moment haunted him. She was already


    bearing the agony of loss. He had offered nofort, instead spitting venom like a real piece of


    work.


    The bitter truth was now clear as day. He had shattered her heart. No wonder she had cut ties so


    thoroughly.


    Recalling their breakup, the harsh words he had unleashed,n couldn’t help but p himself


    across the face, hissing, “You monster!”


    Chase had never seenn like this. Grabbing his wrist, he said, “Enough,n. Even if you killed


    yourself, what good would it do? ra’s already been through hell. Better think of making amends. I


    reckon you know who’s behind tampering with the medicine. We’re talking about a life here, a


    Hayes legacy snuffed out. If Grandma Rose got wind of this, she’d tan your hide.”


    That’s when Dawson’s call came through. “Mr. Hayes, Attorney ra’s prescription didn’t include


    that ingredient, but the pharmacy always adds it automatically. A clerk there told me–it was his


    mentor’s doing.”


    “I’ve got him. Where should I bring him?”


    “The family estate.”n sped off into the night, arriving at the estate well past 2 a.m.


    Rose had long retired for the evening. Roused by the butler’s urgent knocking, she sensed trouble;


    no one dared disturb her at this hour without good reason.

    She quickly dressed, and opened the door to find the butler’s face clouded with worry. “What’s


    happened?” she asked.


    “Mrs. Rose, brace yourself. I’ve never seen Mr. Ian so enraged. Something’s terribly wrong.”


    Buttoning up her dressing gown, Rose deduced, “It must be about ra. Nothing else gets under


    his skin like this.”


    She rushed to the great hall, her eyes surveying the tense faces around her. n, what’s


    happened?” Rose inquired.


    The rage onn’s face didn’t soften, even at the sight of Rose. Taking her hand, he said gravely,


    “Grandma Rose, ra was pregnant.”


    The news visibly shook Rose. “Pregnant? That’s wonderful news. Why the anger? Could it be…”


    Her sharp intellect connected the dots. The baby was gone.


    She copsed onto the sofa, tears glistening in her eyes. “Who dared harm your kid? Tell me, and I


    shall seek justice for you and the child.”
