Steven coldly asked, "Aren''t you tired of these games yet?"


    Chloe stared at Steven in bewilderment. "What do you mean?"


    "If Jessica really didn''t want this child, you''d have rushed to the hospital to stop her by now. Would you have time toe find me?" Steven said with a bitterugh.


    Chloe was suddenly at a loss for words. How could she have forgotten this detail?


    Steven continued, "If you wanted to contact me, couldn''t you have just called?"


    Chloe smiled wryly. "I wanted to, but I''m on your cklist. How was I supposed to reach you?"


    "It doesn''t matter," Steven said, no longer willing to be the fool manipted by the two of them. "If she really doesn''t want this child, then let her have her way. I don''t want to be involved in your affairs anymore, nor do I care to be."


    Chloe stared at Steven in disbelief. "How have you be so cruel? Don''t you care about your child anymore?"


    "Aren''t you responsible for what I''ve be? If you want to me anyone, you can only me yourselves," Steven replied.


    Chloe''s lips parted and closed, then opened again. In the end, she couldn''t utter a single word.


    Steven was about to turn back to his room when his phone suddenly rang. He answered, "Hello?" Gavin hesitated before asking, "Did you break up with Jessica?"


    Steven didn''t answer directly, instead asking, "What happened?"


    "I''m apanying my wife for a prenatal checkup. She noticed that Jessica had scheduled an abortion. I just wanted to know what''s going on. Do you really not want this child anymore?"

    Gavin remembered that although Steven had realized he loved Annalise, he still seemed to want the child. So, why would Jessica want to abort the baby?


    Despite not knowing the specific reason, Gavin decided to inform Steven anyway. Steven asked in


    disbelief, "Is Jessica really at the hospital?"


    Gavin replied without hesitation, "Yes. Why wouldn''t she be?"


    Steven panicked and replied, "Please help me to stop her. I''ll be there right away."


    "No problem, but you need to hurry."


    "All right."


    Steven turned to Chloe and demanded, "Why didn''t you tell me earlier that Jessica went to the hospital?" Chloe replied, dazed, "I told you when I first came, but you didn''t believe me."


    Now worried about the potential consequences, Steven rushed to the underground parking space.


    Chloe watched Steven''s anxious


    figure disappear. She heaved a sigh of relief and sent a message to Jessica. "Steven has left home. Be prepared on your end, and don''t slip

    Jessica nced at the screen, seeing events unfold as she had predicted. Her lips curved into a smile. "Don''t worry. I''m fully prepared."


    Jessica lowered her gaze and


    scoffed. She knew that since Steven


    had a vasectomy, he couldn''t have children other than Zachary, even if he wanted to in the future.
