CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery -
Chapter 1559
Jamie was in a terrible state.
The death of her younger sister had left her dazed and lost. Night after night, she dreamed of Winnie, who would cry out in pain, telling her how much it hurt.
One such nightmare startled Jamie awake in the middle of the night. Before she could gather herself, the soft glow of a lamp filled the room.
She looked up to see Ben standing there, his tall frame casting a shadow across the room.
Charlie was at the hospital, and Jamie had initially wanted to visit him.
But Ben had stopped her. "You're not in the right state to go. My mom is there, along with a professional team."
Jamie had reluctantly stayed behind, not wanting Charlie to see her in such a fragile condition.
Now, staying in Ben's villa, she hadn't expected her state to deteriorate this badly.
"Do you want me to call Caleb?" Ben asked her patiently.
He had been deeply worried about her since the funeral. He feared that if she kept bottling up her emotions, the grief would eventually consume her and make her physically ill. "To counsel me?" Jamie let out a bitter laugh.
Caleb was an all-around doctor capable of both medical treatment and psychological counseling.
"I'm not sick," Jamie said, her voice trembling. "I'm just heartbroken. She was my sister, Ben. She was my little sister who grew up with me."
Ben handed her a glass of water. "I'm not saying you're sick. I'm just worried you'll push yourself too far. Jamie, about Winnie..."
He trailed off, guilt flashing in his eyes.
Back then, he had approached Winnie under the guise of Jack Green, driven by his desire for revenge against Jamie. He hadn't fully considered the consequences of his actions.
When his true identity was revealed,
and Winnie began to spiral out of control, Ben had made things clear to her that the child she carried
wasn'this and that he had given her material support out of obligation, not love.
But despite his attempts to clarify, Winnie had remained on her self-destructive path.
Jamie knew she couldn't blame Ben entirely. People made choices based on their own perspectives and circumstances. She was just overwhelmed with grief over her sister's loss. If Winnie hadn't died, she could have started anew, even built a life for herself if she chose to.
But now, there was no going back.
Jamie pulled away from Ben. "Don't
stay near me anymore. Ben, I've already made it clear that I can't be with you. No matter what you do, you'll never change my mind
Her words were firm and final.
Once Jamie made up her mind, there was no swaying her, just like when she took the one million dollars from Mrs. Lucas and promised never to see Ben again.
"Does it really have to be this way?"
Ben asked, his voice trembling. "Jamie, we have a child together. If didn't know about Charlie, maybe could let go. But now that I do, do you really think I can just let you leave?"
His hand gripped hers, shaking slightly, his voice hoarse as if something was lodged in his throat.
Jamie's eyes welled up with tears.
She didn't want to leave Ben, but Winnie's death had created an insurmountable barrier between them. How could she possibly move past it?
Jamie shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "I can't forget any of it."
Winnie had been burned beyond recognition. It was a horrific fate she should never have had to endure.
If Jamie had never met Ben and if she had never been with him, maybe none of this would have happened.
"Jamie," Ben said gently, his voice steady despite the weight of the moment, "some things can't be calculated that way."
