CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1462

“Who are you? This hospital hallway has plenty of cameras. I’m warning you to watch yourself and don’t go bullying women in public!” Ryan rolled up his sleeves, ready to step in.

Ben wasn’t the least bit intimidated. He had been into fitness since college, initially because Jamie liked men with abs, and eventually, it just became a habit. He loved the intense, sweaty workouts, and facing off against someone like Ryan barely registered as a challenge.

“Don’t fight, please!” Jamie quickly stepped between them. She turned to Ryan. “I know him. Please, just go.”

“But he was about to hurt you right in front of me, no less. If he’s this rough now, imagine what he’d do if I left!” Ryan protested, refusing to back down.

Every word he said only added fuel to Ben’s already raging anger.

Ben’s jaw clenched so tightly his teeth ground together. He had canceled a meeting, sped through traffic, and run countless red lights, all in a rush to make sure Jamie was safe.

And what did he find? Jamie laughing and chatting with another man, a man who was now threatening him.

“Jamie,” Ben snarled, his voice low and full of warning.

Jamie had no choice but to keep urging Ryan. “I’m really fine. Please, go… I’m begging you.”

Keeping Ryan around would only push Ben further over the edge.

Her attempts to gently encourage Ryan to leave only seemed to fuel Ben’s suspicions.

After Ryan left, Ben shoved Jamie into a chair, his hand pressing against her lower abdomen.

“Are you insane? This is a hospital! There are people everywhere, and you two already made enough of a scene to draw plenty of attention. Do you really want to put on a live show here?” Jamie stammered, struggling to speak clearly in her shock.

In a hotel room, or even in the hallway at home, she could handle his advances. But here, in the hospital, was different. She hadn’t lost her sense of shame to that extent.

“Jamie, what kind of nonsense is going through your mind? Do you seriously think I’m as desperate as you, unable to go a moment without a man?” Ben sneered, though he didn’t actually make any inappropriate moves.
