Chapter 28 Where Did You Get These Photos

Dr. Barker, Mrs. Moreno is awake.” A nurse attending to Clarissa noticed that she had woken up

After scanning her surroundings, Clarissa realized that she had been brought to the hospital

The doctor examining her was the Morenosfamily doctor, Nathan Barker

Dr. Barker, what happened to me?” 

She only bumped her waist, not her head, so how could she have fainted

Mrs. Moreno, you’re pregnant.” 

Clarissa was stunned, as if she was struck by lightning

She froze like a statue. “What did you say?” 

How could she possibly be pregnant

Chandler had always been careful to avoid it

Besides, it had been months since they were last intimate

Suddenly, Clarissa remembered something

Over a month ago, Chandler had gotten drunk and barged into her room in the middle of the night

She had been asleep and, in her grogginess, couldn’t recall if he had used protection

Thinking back now, if she were pregnant, it would most likely have been from that night

She can’t blame him. Who could expect a drunk person to remember to use protection

Clarissa felt as if her heart had plummeted to the depths of an icy lake

She had once longed for a child with Chandler, but now it felt utterly nauseating

Why did it have to happen now

Why did she have to conceive Chandler’s child only after she had lost all hope

Mrs. Moreno, what’s wrong?The nurse asked with concern, noticing her pale complexion. Do you feel unwell anywhere else?” 

Clarissa shook her head in a daze, her face ashen

She had no idea what to do in that moment

Before she could sort out her feelings, the Morenos arrived

Nathan was the Morenosfamily doctor. He would certainly inform the Morenos about Clarissa’s 

pregnancy

Chandler’s mother, Lydia Moreno, was a kind woman. As soon as she walked in, she took Clarissa’s hand and patted it, saying, You’ve been through a lot, my dear.” 

Chandler’s father, Samuel Moreno, was a stern man. He nodded at Clarissa before directing his serious gaze toward Chandler

Come with me!” 

Chandler stepped out with Samuel, leaving Clarissa to frown at his departing figure

Lydia assumed she was concerned about Chandler and softly said, Relax, your Dad won’t do anything to him. But he did go overboard this time and deserves to be taught a lesson!” 

Clarissa was silent for a moment

Now that the pregnancy was out in the open, getting a divorce from Chandler would be that much harder

The thought of it gave her a headache; worrying about Chandler was the last thing on her mind

Mom, actually, Chandler and I ” 

Clarissa, Lydia cut her off, her voice steady and calm, You probably aren’t aware yet.” 

Aware of what? Clarissa furrowed her brow in confusion 

The kidnapping incidentChandler covered it up for you.” 

Clarissa’s eyes widened in surprise

Chandler covered up for me

Chandler is naturally cold and slow when it comes to feelings, and he isn’t even that close to us.” 

Lydia looked at Clarissa with a gentle smile on her face. But with you, he’s different.” 

Clarissa froze

I know that, over the years, his coldness has worn your heart down.” 

As someone with similar experiences, Lydia understood well what it felt like to have a distant husband

From the day Clarissa married Chandler, she had treated her exceptionally well, wanting to make up for what Clarissa lacked from a mother’s perspective

But nowfor the child’s sake, maybe you should give him another chance? Can you wait a little longer for him?” 

Clarissa felt speechless at Lydia’s words

What was she supposed to wait for

Wait for him to come to his senses and treat her well

She once thought Chandler was indifferent to her because of his cold personality

Finished 

But she later realized that no matter how cold he seemed, he was still capable of warmth and affection for 

someone

It just wasn’t meant for her

What had Chandler done wrong

He simply didn’t love her

Clarissa lowered her gaze and didn’t respond to Lydia’s words

Lydia didn’t push her. She simply patted the back of her hand and said nothing further

Leo had remained silent the entire time, but his presence alone was enough to show his stance and how much the Moreno family cared for Clarissa

To be honest, it was impossible for Clarissa not to feel touched

Ever since she had been kicked out of the Stephensons, all the warmth she’d experienced had come from the Moreno family

The Morenos had treated her with such kindness

They had treated her so well that even if she could afford to disregard Chandler and proceed recklessly with the divorce, she still had to consider the Morenosfeelings

By the window in the hospital hallway, Samuel’s expression was cold as he asked, What’s going on between 

you and Clarissa?” 

We’re getting a divorce,” Chandler responded briefly

Upon hearing his reply, Samuel’s gaze turned intense in an instant. Because of Gillian?” 

Chandler raised an eyebrow and asked, What does this have to do with Gillian?” 

Do you honestly think I’m oblivious to your little affairs?Samuel snapped, pulling an envelope from his coat and tossing it to Chandler

Chandler caught the envelope and emptied the photos inside

Among them were images of Gilian hugging and kissing him at Splendid Garden, as well as the ones where Gilian rested against him and wrapped her arms around his waist at the Stephenson residence

Their intimacy was evident in every photo, leaving room for anyone to misinterpret their relationship

The more Chandler examined those photos, the grimmer his expression grew

Dad, where did you get these photos?”
