CHAPTER 1014 YOU OWE ME

"I'm fine, so don't worry about me. We might have lost a child, but once I get better, we can makeanother one. I've talked it out with Colton." Nicole smiled.

Whitney's hands were on her lap. She clenched them and loosened them up. There seemed to be astruggle happening within her, but in the end, she chose not to say anything.

They made small talk, and Nicole didn't bring up the Wrenns in case Whitney grew worried.

Whitney left in the afternoon. She hadn't been feeling well for days. One, she would dream of Douglasevery night, and two, she had been suffering from morning sickness. Pregnancy tended to makepeople overthink, especially people like her. The morning sickness and debilitating mental cripple weredriving her mad.

A tired Whitney pulled her coat tighter around herself and put on a hat. Once she covered herself up,she left the hospital and went around to the backdoor. Just when she was about to get in the car, shefelt someone pulling her. Unable to react in time, she fell into someone's chest. For a moment, shestruggled and gasped. "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

The man holding her didn't let her go. Instead, he kept holding her tighter. It was almost suffocating her,so Whitney pushed the man's chest. Her face was red as she said, "Let me go, or I'm calling the cops!"

"Call them, then," the man said. He sounded familiar, and Whitney stopped struggling.

Her eyes went wide with shock, and she remained silent in his embrace. His familiar scent assailed her

nose, and she froze up.

Douglas hugged her for a moment before he looked at her. When he found out she left after takingEmily's offer, he was furious, but after he calmed down, he wanted to see her. He did send a fewpeople to look for her, but they found nothing. A week ago, he had already returned, but he found noclues about Whitney. When he found out Nicole was hurt, he staked out the hospital, thinking thatWhitney would come. More than a week later, she did.

Whitney curled up a little, wondering what she should do.

A long while later, Douglas finally moved. He looked at her and raised her chin, asking, "Thought youowe me a lot. Why did you run away? And why did you take the money?"

She had no answers for that and thus had no idea what to say.

Since she was silent, he continued, "You're being a hypocrite. You promised you'd even go to jail to payme back, but then you ran away. What were you thinking?"

Whitney pushed him away, her gaze shifting somewhere else. "I've paid you back what I owed, and youhave a family. You don't have to ruin it for me." Whitney felt her heart tremble. She kept telling herselfthat Douglas already had a family, and she shouldn't be a homewrecker.

Douglas looked at her fiercely. Solemnly, he said, "You can never repay what you owe me, Whitney."

Whitney's lips trembled. She was at a loss for words. Tears glistened in her eyes, and her stomachchurned. She shoved Douglas away and leaned on the car door as she puked.
