The Heir's Secret Bride

However, Maeve did not see clearly who that person was.

Alex shook his head regretfully. "I wasn't there. I heard about what happened fro

someone else. A couple seemed to have

If he were there, he would probably risk everything to save the person he liked without a second thought.

"Did they come to the hospital, too?" Maeve asked again. "I want to thank them in person."

"I've asked the doctor about that, too. They seemed to be fine, and were discharged yesterday."

There was a hint of disappointment in Maeve's eyes. "I didn't even have time to thank them.... Oh yes! If we get that restaurant to check the surveillance cameras, will they be able to find out?"

"I knew you might ask this, so I had checked with that restaurant They said the surveillance footage had been damaged and could not be checked. Alex, too, felt somewhat regretful.

After saying that, he comforted Maeve, "They probably didn't expect to receive gratitude after saving people. Don't carry such a heavy burden in your heart."

Maeve nodded, but she felt like she had overlooked something. However, she could not figure out what it was.

At the same time, in the VIP ward on the top floor, the atmosphere was tense.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Byron leaned against the hospital bed. His face was ashen, and his lips were pale. He lowered his eyes, waiting for the doctor to change the dressing on his right leg.

"Mr. Jason Mcdaniel, Mr. Byron Mcdaniel, it's indeed very fortunate that the heavy object didn't hurt the nerves of the leg. If the position had been slightly off, Mr. Byron Mcdaniel's right leg might have been crippled on the spot," the doctor said carnestly. "However, Mr. Byron Mcdaniel's right leg has been suppressed too long. Therefore, his walking will be affected for a short period."

After hearing the doctor's words, Jason's face darkened. His unprecedented anger surged, "Since when did our Mcdaniel family have a romantic fool? You've already divorced that woman; her life and death have nothing to do with you. Yet, you shielded her from harm with your body? How can her worthless life compare to yours?"

Byron frowned and looked at Jason with a dark gaze. "Our deal is over, I don't want to hear a similar thing from you again"

"Deal?" Jason sneered. "If you didn't insist, do you think I would let her off so easily? Your grandpa hasn't woken up yet, and you're injured and hospitalized. Didn't she cause all this?"

Gilbert held extraordinary significance for the Mcdaniel family. Once something happened to him, it was only natural that the Mcdaniel family would harbor deep hatred for Maeve, the culprit behind it

If not for Byron's protection, Jason alone would have been enough to make her stay in prison until her next life.

Byron's expression suddenly turned cold. "Why? Do you still want to attack her?"

Don't worry. Since you two are already divorced, I won't pursue any legal action against her anymore, Jason said in a deep voice. "Byron, you may not understand my painstaking efforts now, but in the future... you'll eventually understand."

"Is that so?" Byron's tone was cold. "Then let me give you a piece of advice. Stop being one-sided wishful thinking." Jason was So angry that he left on the spot.

As soon as he left, Lynn ran in crying and threw herself into Byron's arms. "Byron, you scared me to death this time. You were covered in blood at that time. I thought you would... If anything happens to you, what should I do?* 08:08 Tue, Oct

She had always been gentle, timid, delicate, and sensitive. It was obvious how upset she was to cry like this.

Byron gently pushed her away. His deep voice was somewhat gentle. "Am I not alright now? Don't cry"

Lynn's shoulders twitched. "Byron, tell me the truth. What's your relationship with that woman? Why would you risk your safety to save her?"

Byron's gaze paused slightly, and his expression became a little subdued. "What did my mother tell you?" Byron asked.

Lynn nodded hesitantly. Alexis said that you... married her in the past.

"Yeah, Byron said.

Hearing him admit it, Lym bit her lips. "Is that why you saved her?"

Byron nodded hesitantly. "Sort of."

Lynn suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. "Byron, we're about to get engaged. From now on, you can only look at me and not other women. Otherwise, I'll feel sad." She revealed a worried expression.

Byron slowly hid the darkness in his eyes and said softly. "You may go out for a while. Let Archer in; I have something to tell

him."

"Okay." Lynn nodded obediently and went out to call Archer.

Soon, Archer walked in. "Mr. Mcdaniel, is there anything?"

"How's Maeve's condition now?" Byron asked.

Archer had prepared himself. "Ms. Reese has been tested for the presence of sleeping pills in her body and has just woken up this morning. She's overall fine, and can be discharged tomorrow At this point, Archer looked hesitant. Byron narrowed his eyes. "What else?"

The doctor also said that Ms. Reese has been pregnant for nearly two months."

Byron's narrow eyes suddenly sank when he heard the word "pregnant". It was like a hurricane rising from the depths of the sea, wanting to devour everything that approached.

Archer stood there and felt waves of cold wind drilling into his body. He could not help but shiver.

"She's pregnant?" Byron enunciated each word slowly, his voice so cold and terrifying.

"Y-yes."

"Does she now?"

Archer thought for a moment. "I think so. I also found out that on the day Ms. Reese came out of the detention center, went to a private clinic for abortion surgery. However, she didn't do it in the end..."

she

Archer slowly shut his mouth as he noticed Byron's handsome face turning increasingly gloomy, and his eyes were like a wild beast about to devour someone.

Byron sneered softly, "Maeve, you're truly great!"

'Before the divorce, you had kept the pregnancy a secret and tried to test my attitude. After the divorce, you couldn't wait to abort my child?

"From the beginning to the end, you had kept me in the dark and never told me the truth. You're capable now!' Byron

thought to himself.

Byron's face darkened as he asked coldly. "Where is she now?"

"In the ward downstairs," Archer said.

At night, Alex was worried about Maeve staying in the hospital alone. He wanted Bonnie to come over and accompany her, but Maeve refused. Her injuries were not serious, and she did not need someone to take care of her. After taking a shower that night, she took the pregnancy medicine Jaylen had given her and lay on the bed to prepare for sleep.

In a state between dreams and wakefulness, she suddenly felt a chill envelop her, followed by a cold hand gripping her neck. slowly tightening.

Maeve awoke from this drowning sensation of suffocation and opened her eyes to see Byron's cold, handsome face. She was taken aback. "B-Byron?"

She wanted to sit up, but he grasped her neck firmly. She felt his hand tighten the moment she moved. Soon she struggled to breathe.

Maeve's face turned red and she could not say a word.
