Out of Ashes Into His Heart novel Chapter 22

The pungent, sour stench quickly filled the car.

By the time I managed to suppress the overwhelming nausea, a tissue appeared in front of me.

I glanced up coldly, meeting Gavin's gaze.

Perhaps his drunkenness had subsided, or maybe he was disgusted by the mess I had made in his car, but he didn't press forward.

Taking the tissue, I wiped my mouth and threw it spitefully onto the seat.

Seeing the state of his car, I felt a surge of satisfaction—serves him right!

But he didn't seem to care. Instead, he stared at me intently. "Grace, are you pregnant?"

My heart skipped a beat. I hadn't expected the pregnancy to be exposed so abruptly.

Still, I worked hard to maintain my composure, casting him a cold glance. "What nonsense are you spouting? How could I be pregnant?"

I let out a mocking laugh. "Didn't you say I was infertile?"

Gavin's face darkened as he recalled our argument about this not long ago.

He didn't respond, leaving me uneasy as I wondered whether he believed me. Regardless, I kept my expression calm. "It's just a stomach issue. Your reeking alcohol breath made me nauseous."

He pressed his lips together, seemingly convinced. "No wonder you've lost so much weight lately. Have you seen a doctor?"

"That's none of your concern." I pushed him away and stepped out of the car.

He quickly exited from the other side and caught up to me in a few strides. "I'll take you to the hospital. I mentioned before that you should get a full check-up..."

I shook off his hand. "I don't need your help!"
