CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1536

On the day of the engagement banquet, Ben’s phone appearing near Jamie should have been a warning sign, but she missed it.

Later, she had warmly welcomed Jamie into her home, showering her with care. She had even worried that Ben might dislike Jamie and tried to help them get along.

And what happened in the end?

While she had been tirelessly caring for them, the two of them ended up in bed together. Now, they were living under the same roof, while she and her child were left with nothing.

How could Winnie not harbor resentment?

Especially when she looked at Charlie, a chilling thought crept into her mind:

If her own child’s life was ruined because of Jamie, then shouldn’t she retaliate by ruining Jamie’s child?

An eye for an eye.

But she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

Every time Charlie called her "Aunt Winnie" with such innocence, it reminded her of the bond between them. How could she be so heartless?

“I’m in Ben’s villa. He won’t let me leave,” Jamie admitted honestly.

She took the blame upon herself. “I’m sorry. I truly am.”

"Sorry? Do you really think an apology makes everything okay? If it did, we wouldn’t need cops or lawyers, would we?" Winnie’s voice grew increasingly emotional. “You’ve both been desperately looking for Charlie, but has anyone ever cared about me? What did I do to deserve this? Why do I have to suffer like this?”

If she had knowingly come between Jamie and Ben, if she had been the "other woman," she might have accepted this fate without a word of protest.

But she hadn’t. She and Ben had fallen in love naturally, building a relationship step by step until they reached their engagement.

“Winnie, it’s not like that between him and me. He hates me, and his mother despises me too,” Jamie tried to explain.

Winnie cut her off sharply, “Stop trying to justify yourself. Every word you say just makes me hate you more. Yes, Charlie is with me, and you know his condition. Without proper treatment, he’s fading fast. He might not make it much longer.”

Winnie opened the door to Charlie’s room just a crack, glancing at the little boy sitting weakly on the bed.

She didn’t have the heart to harm a child, but she could lie. She could make Jamie suffer emotionally and gain a fleeting sense of balance for herself.

“Winnie! We’re sisters. Please, I’m begging you, don’t do this! I’m begging you!” Jamie’s voice was filled with desperation.

It was her child, after all.

She had fought so hard to keep Charlie alive and had poured everything into his treatment. And now, Winnie’s words were like knives cutting into her, telling her that her child was on the verge of death.
