Chapter 462 He Knows
When Richard saw Julia at the hospital, he was suspicious as he didn’t expect to see her. The hospital director of Lumore Hospital had specially invited him today for a discussion. Who knew they would meet out of coincidence?
Although Julia stood together with Nicole, he could see the exhaustion on her face with just one look. Obviously, one could tell that Julia was ill.
Richard’s heart was in pain at the thought of her being ill. He couldn’t figure out why she had come to the hospital for a checkup all of a sudden as she was very healthy when she was with him.
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became. With that being said, Richard asked for her information at the hospital. Since the hospital director had invited him over, the staff was cooperative and gave him what he wanted.
He found out that Julia was heading to the Gynecology Department.
Richard’s heart pounded as he looked at her medical file on the screen. As soon as the doctor pulled up her file, he was stunned.
Julia had been pregnant for two months.
He lowered his eyes and thought, I was still with Julia two months ago. This has to be my child.
Seeing that Richard was zoning out, the doctor said good-naturedly, “This lady is here to get her baby checked, but she is not in good shape. We gave her some antiemetics since she has a bad case of morning sickness.”
The doctor’s words made Richard’s heart sink with bitterness. Oh, his dear Julia! He could tell that she had deliberately avoided him when they met at the hospital, and it looked like she wanted to keep the baby. Thinking about that, Richard gripped his knuckles; he was beginning to have second thoughts despite having already made up his mind.
“Okay, I got it. Thank you,” he said and put up a bitter smile. After thanking the doctor, he left the building. After coming out of the hospital, Richard looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with confusion. He had already made up his mind to forget about Julia, but when he knew that she was carrying his child and was going to keep the baby, he had second thoughts.
Seeing her like this was disheartening, but he couldn’t do anything to help her since he was not strong enough. If only he was as capable as Colton, perhaps the Zuniga Family wouldn’t force him to be with Christi. All Richard could do was blame himself for not being strong enough and could only accept the Zuniga Family’s forced marriage.
A hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes as his plan was being disrupted once again. After thinking for some time, he decided to approach Colton and ask for his advice since he still couldn’t let go of Julia.
For the past few days, he kept telling himself not to offend the Zuniga Family; not only would the Jenkins Family be in trouble, even the Gardner Family and the Hull Family would also be involved. However, when he thought about Julia getting pregnant all by herself, he couldn’t force himself to leave her alone.
When Colton saw him, he was not surprised at all and even smiled at Richard.
“Colton, do you have any ways to help me get rid of the Zuniga Family?” Richard cut to the chase.
Colton’s smile widened when he heard Richard call him. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before looking back at him. “Don’t you like doing things on your own? It’s a surprise that you know how to ask for my help.”
Since it was Colton, Richard did not have to hide anything and said, “Julia is pregnant.” When he said this, he paused for a moment like he had thought of something before continuing, “Even if she is not pregnant, I can’t forget her. I tried, but I just couldn’t.”
Colton crossed his arms, watching the usually open-minded Richard being engulfed in sadness. He thought that he couldn’t just let him be in this state any longer.
“I know,” he said.
Richard looked at him weirdly and asked, “What do you know? I’m being serious now. Think of something, Colton Gardner.”
