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 make another 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 a struggle

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 Douglas every night,

and two, she had been suffering from morning sickness. Pregnancy tended to make people overthink, especially

people like her. The morning sickness and debilitating mental cripple were driving 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, she felt someone pulling her.

Unable to react in time, she fell into someone's chest. For a moment, she struggled 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 taking Emily's offer, he

was furious, but after he calmed down, he wanted to see her. He did send a few people to look for her, but they

found nothing. A week ago, he had already returned, but he found no clues about Whitney. When he found out

Nicole was hurt, he staked out the hospital, thinking that Whitney 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 you owe 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 pay me 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 you have a

family. You don't have to ruin it for me." Whitney felt her heart tremble. She kept telling herself that 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 stomach churned. She

shoved Douglas away and leaned on the car door as she puked.
