When the Contract Marriage Ended, He Stayed

Chapter 11: I Can Grant Your Wish

In the spirit of humanitarianism, Hazel Hawthorne felt utterly helpless. It was this, combined with pity for a fellow woman, that made her send Dylan Miller to the hospital, despite being disgusted by the other woman’s clumsy performance and her willingness to sacrifice a child for public sympathy.

When the ambulance arrived, a crowd of reporters blocked the intersection, terrified of missing any juicy news.

Dylan Miller, her face pale, stared at the expressionless Hazel Hawthorne, unable to guess what she was thinking. She shifted her gaze toward the media.

Hazel Hawthorne’s lips curved into a slight sneer. "Don’t look at them," she said faintly. "I’m taking you to the hospital now to save your and Aiden Xavier’s child."

Dylan Miller had intended to use a miscarriage to trap Hazel Hawthorne in a storm of public opinion. Now, she could only stare at Hazel, speechless.

Hazel Hawthorne retorted with extreme composure, "What, you don’t want to save the child?"

Back when Hazel Hawthorne had questioned whether the child was truly Aiden Xavier’s, Dylan Miller’s evasive gaze had already betrayed her guilty conscience.

Only after this clash did Dylan Miller realize that Hazel Hawthorne was nothing like she had imagined, nor like the rumors described her.

Hazel was clearly shrewd, and her methods were anything but ordinary.

She avoided Hazel Hawthorne’s gaze. "You’ll really save my and Aiden’s child?"

"If you don’t want to save it, I can grant your wish."

Dylan Miller was so infuriated by Hazel Hawthorne that she nearly had a heart attack.

As soon as they arrived at the hospital and a doctor appeared, Dylan Miller grabbed his hand, desperately begging him to save her child.

"Doctor, you have to save my baby! He’s my and Aiden Xavier’s only child. If you can’t save him, Aiden will never let you off!" Dylan Miller’s harsh words sounded like she was trying to intimidate someone.

Hazel Hawthorne saw right through the act but didn’t expose it. Remaining perfectly composed, she said, "Doctor, please do everything you can."

Hazel Hawthorne was Aiden Xavier’s wife and had long been exposed to the media’s cameras. Anyone who followed entertainment news had seen her before.
