Chapter 102 You Harbor Feelings Yet Refuse…
Freya examined the bandaged wound with a critical eye. “Hmm, how much would this cost?”
“No… please don’t worry about payment,” one of the doctors hastily responded.
Though this hospital operated under the Yates Group’s private ownership, every physician had earned their medical credentials through years of rigorous training.
Having overheard fragments of the earlier discussion, they realized that if Freya pursued legal action against the Yates Group, their professional futures would crumble instantly.
Felipe’s gaze darkened when he noticed the bandage encircling Farrah’s neck, his hand freezing mid–motion in
his pocket. “What happened to
“k?”
“She threatened self–harm if anyone approached and accidentally cut herself,” the assistant explained matter–of -factly. “Subsequently, when the security personnel confiscated her knife, they inadvertently grazed her skin again.”
“What were you thinking?” Felipe’s heart constricted as he spoke. “Didn’t I explicitly tell you to exercise caution?”
The thought of what might have transpired had the blade penetrated deeper sent shivers down his spine. The assistant remained silent, understanding that enduring his employer’s wrath was his only option. “There’s no need for this charade anymore,” Farrah stated, her eyes reflecting an emotional wasteland as she regarded Felipe like a complete stranger. “Wouldn’t my death bring you relief?”
For the first time, a profound discomfort settled over Felipe, causing his voice to drop. “I only requested an abortion, not your suffering.”
Farrah’s gaze turned glacial. As if terminating a pregnancy wasn’t suffering?
“Whether you believe it or not, I suggested the abortion because I care deeply for you,” Felipe insisted, recognizing that speaking now was crucial before the opportunity vanished forever. “Carrying this child to term could potentially endanger your life.”
If not for that grave concern, he would never have pressured her. Even if the child wasn’t biologically his, it would still address him as father.
Freya perceived Farrah’s reluctance to engage with Felipe and intervened on her behalf. “If your concern for her were genuine, you wouldn’t compel her toward termination.”
“How is this your concern?” Felipe felt Freya was interfering unnecessarily and retorted, “Should anything happen to Farrah, you’ll face consequences.”

“Felipe.” Kristian’s voice cut through the tension, his sharp features carrying an unmistakable warning.
Felipe found himself at a loss for words. What had gotten into Kristian? This entire situation existed because of his wife!
“Farrah understands her body better than you do.” Freya genuinely believed Felipe was being unreasonable and challenged, “Who informed you that this pregnancy posed a danger to her?*
Felipe answered promptly, “A doctor, obviously.”
“Which doctor specifically?” Freya pressed.
Felipe’s silence spoke volumes.
Farrah then spoke without a trace of bitterness, stating simply, “Jocelyn Watson, correct?”
Felipe instinctively turned toward her. How had she discovered this?
“Freya, let’s depart,” Farrah said, having confirmed the truth from his expression, feeling a profound ache spreading through her heart.
Jocelyn Watson had been Felipe’s childhood confidante. Since Farrah’s marriage to Felipe, Jocelyn had repeatedly created difficulties for her.
Jocelyn also worked at the same medical facility where Farrah received prenatal care, though not within the obstetrics department.
“Sure,” Freya agreed, guiding her toward the exit.
As they passed Norah, Farrah’s expression softened with appreciation. “Miss Russell, thank you for contacting Freya on my behalf. I’ll treat you to a meal when this is behind us.”
“I’d enjoy that,” Norah responded graciously.
“Thank you as well,” Freya added.
If not for that timely call, Freya wouldn’t have hurried to the hospital, and Farrah might have been wheeled into surgery against her will.
Norah’s lips curved into a warm smile, her eyes forming delicate crescents. “You’re welcome.”
Freya acknowledged her with a slight nod before guiding Farrah past Felipe and Kristian toward the exit.
Suddenly, Kristian grasped her arm. “Wait.”
Freya’s brow creased with concern.
Her initial assumption was that Kristian intended to assist Felipe in preventing their departure, which prompted her somewhat frosty demeanor toward him.
“Take the car,” Kristian stated, tossing the keys in her direction, his expression maintaining its characteristic detachment. “Drive it to the company the day after tomorrow to collect me. I’ll be available in the afternoon to finalize our divorce proceedings.”
Freya hesitated momentarily before accepting the keys. “Alright.”

She settled into the driver’s seat while Farrah positioned herself in the back
Throughout this entire exchange, Felipe remained speechless until Freya’s vehicle disappeared from the hospital grounds. He then rounded on Kristian with evident frustration. “Are you still harboring resentment about my allowing Freya to ride in Trent’s car yesterday morning?”
“What are you implying?” Kristian responded, genuinely perplexed.
“Farrah is my wife. Do you believe it is appropriate for you to permit Freya to take her away?” Felipe expressed genuine distress, unable to comprehend Kristian’s reasoning
Upon hearing this accusation, Kristian replied, “I allowed Freya to escort Farrah away for your beneft”
Felipe released a disbelieving laugh. “Do elaborate on how undermining me benefits me.”
“Forcing Farrah to terminate her pregnancy would cultivate lifelong resentment,” Kristian explained, demonstrating unusual thoughtfulness. “You love her, don’t you?”
This pointed inquiry caused Felipe to stiffen visibly.
Kristian vividly recalled how Felipe had attempted to deceive Farrah by applying perfume and creating a deliberate lipstick mark on his collar previously. If Felipe truly felt nothing for her, he wouldn’t have resorted to such juvenile tactics.
“I don’t follow your reasoning,” Felipe muttered, averting his gaze.
“Regardless of paternity, Farrah remains this child’s mother,” Kristian reminded him gently. “Even with benevolent intentions, you should consult her rather than dictate decisions.”
“Why are you especially irritating today?” Felipe scowled, clearly aggravated, and countered, “You lecture me endlessly, but what about your decision to divorce Freya for your ex? Isn’t that equally reprehensible?”
