The Runaway Groom

Chapter 39 Irene had hit Whitney so hard that her palm was numb, and her eyes were filled with fury. “You’re a doctor. You know that an amniocentesis to a mother in early pregnancy will cause a miscarriage. A slap is a lot less than what you deserve!”

She would not be this merciful if anything were to happen to her twins! On the other hand, Whitney had never ever suffered such indignation and humiliation her eyes went red as she snarled, “Irene Spencer!” However, she had barely raised her hand when someone caught her wrist, and she turned to find Zachary watching her.

“W-What are you doing here?” she stammered.

Zachary shoved her aside. “Did you think you could do anything you want if I’m not around?”

“She hit me first!” Whitney cried, pointing at Irene. “Can’t you see my face?”

It turns out that Zachary had seen Irene do it, but he had also heard their entire conversation. “You were trying to hurt her baby, weren’t you?”

Whitney could not say anything to that, and turned furiously to glare at Irene. “Don’t get so full of yourself!”

Once she left, Irene’s nerves finally eased, but Zachary was staring at her. “What happened to you? How did you get pregnant? Was it Isaac?” Irene shook her head. “No.” “Then who’s the father?” Zachary’s voice became louder, but he quickly noticed his own agitation and lowered his voice. “You don’t even have a boyfriend-how did you get pregnant?” Irene hung her head. “Don’t ask.” “How could I not? You’re pregnant without getting married, so are you raising your child alone? Just tell me who it is. Did they dump you? I’ll help you!” Zachary exclaimed.
