Chapter 503
Chloe frowned, eyebrows knitting together as she noticed several ultrasound photos scattered across the bed. They held the shadowy outline of a baby growing in a womb. The images weren't crystal clear, but you could still make out the rough shape of the child, even down to the eyes, nose, and mouth. There were quite a few pictures, showcasing the baby's tiny fingers in its mouth, curled up snugly, and even yawning.
Linda handed the photos back to Chloe, who took them without thinking, her eyes drifting over each black-and-white image. Linda watched Chloe's face intently. "Isn't he adorable? Do you like him?"
Chloe tossed the photos back onto the bed with a scoff. "Linda, cut it out. He's your kid, not mine. Why would I care?"
Linda met Chloe's gaze. "Would you care if he were yours?"
Chloe looked down at Linda, her expression hard. "Are you trying to make him my godchild or something?"
Linda's eyes flickered with emotion. "I was lucky to have you today. Who knows what might have happened to me and the baby if you hadn't been there. If you're open to it..."

“Chloe, how could you accuse me of something so serious? If I remember right, didn't he drown in the reservoir? Maybe he just slipped in by accident while walking at night."
"Walking at night? How do you know when he died?"
Chloe herself didn't have those details. Panic flickered across Linda's eyes. "I'm just guessing. It's not like someone would just fall into the water during the day for no reason."
There was something about Linda's
response that felt off to Chloe. But she was just testing the waters. Chloe looked at Linda hard. "Linda,

With that, Chloe turned and left. Linda sat on the bed, her fingers clutching the sheets so tightly they turned white. If Chloe ever found out what she had done, would she really turn her in? Some secrets needed to stay hidden. At least for now. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
As Chloe stepped out of the hospital, her phone buzzed. It was Lucas calling.
