“No! I didn't mean that." ‘I know that Evelyn isn't that sort of person, but how else would she get pregnant? How did that happen? What did I do wrong to make that happen?‘

A series of questions started popping up in his mind.

Unable to come up with an answer that made sense, he fell into uncertainty.

“Perhaps it was because...that was my first time. I may have used the condoms in the wrong way?" But then he shook his head and muttered to himself, "But...it didn't seem like that. I couldn't have been so clueless..." Although Sheffield hadn't had sex with a woman before meeting Evelyn, he knew just enough about sex as any man would

If he didn't even know how to use a condom in the correct way, he wouldn't be having sex with a woman in the first place.

Sheffield's puzzled murmuring made Matthew feel impatient.

"So far from what I can understand, you're telling me that my sister got pregnant with someone else's baby?"

"No, no, no! Perhaps the quality of the condoms wasn't as good. After all, they were just freebies from the guesthouse. It could have broken during..." Sheffield remembered how badly he wanted Evelyn that night.

ALL he could think of was being with her.

Matthew's lips twitched.

"I'm not here to discuss about how strong you were in bed."

"I know..." Sheffield smiled bitterly. But then, as if just waking up, he suddenly thought of something. It was another important question

With a serious expression, he sat upright and asked nervously, "You said Evelyn was pregnant after getting back from her trip. So where's the kid?"

Matthew's voice became colder.

"Gone."

“You can't mean—" In an instant, Sheffield's mind went blank. He felt a hollow in his chest where his heart used to be. The young doctor held his breath and stared at him. Now it was his turn to observe the tiniest change of expression on Matthew's face. Was he lying? He had to know.

“Thanks to you, yes. She almost died from the ectopic pregnancy. But you didn't know, did you? How can you claim to care about her and not know something Like that? Is this how you show you love my sister?"

“Ectopic pregnancy? Almost died?’ With trembling heart, Sheffield shook his head and cast a burning glance at the younger man.

“This isn't real, right? Your dad's just trying to trick me. He wants to make me feel bad about Evelyn so I'll dump her. Did you think it would work?

C'mon, Matthew, just between you and me," he said.

Furrowing his eyebrows, Matthew retorted, "Do you think you're worth that much? Think, man. The Hilton family wouldn't make up a story Like that. It wouldn't make Evelyn Look very good, would it?"

Sheffield felt awkward. He knew the father and son of the Hilton family wouldn't do a thing like that. At least, he realized it when he gave it some thought. He asked, “How soon did Evelyn know about the pregnancy?

Was it when she got back? Or sooner than that?"

If it was true Sheffield decided to shut that Line of thinking down.

He felt like his heart had been pierced by a knife. How much pain did
