Chapter 78
“Were you actually pregnant that time, Emilia?”
Emilia was stunned for a moment, and her gaze slowly became cold. She looked at Nathan indifferently. There was also disappointment beyond measure in her eyes.
“Are you suspecting me of faking a pregnancy?
She spoke word by word.
Nathan had never seen Emilia like this. Her eyes seemed to contain indescribable grievances and complaints.
“I just want to know the truth. Nathan’s voice was very low.
“Huh. Emilia sneered and added, “You haven’t asked about the baby in three years. Now you’re talking too much about it here. Aren’t you
capable, Nathan? Can’t you go investigate it yourself?”
The miscarriage back then had always been a sore point with Emilia.
That was Nathan’s child, and Nathan was the child’s father.
Not only did he not feel sad about the child’s death, but he even doubted whether the child had ever existed.
Emilia could not accept it.
Nathan seemed to be aware of the change in Emilia’s emotions, and he inexplicably panicked. Moreover, he realized that he might have gone too far with his words, so he tried to explain in order to make amends.
“I just think the child’s appearance was too much of a coincidence. Let alone-”
“That’s enough!” Emilia interrupted him without hesitation and shouted, “Shut up! A man like you isn’t worthy to mention the child at all. Since you already think that the child never existed, why are you asking about it here?”
The more Emilia thought about it, the angrier she felt.
When she had a miscarriage that time, Nathan did not come to visit her even once. However, she was very much in love. Thus, she chose to fool herself with the lie that Nathan was just too busy.
Nevertheless, Emilia never expected that Nathan had always thought she was fabricating a lie about the existence of a child

After all, the child was once a living, breathing life.
Nathan actually doubted the child’s existence.
“…”
Nathan wanted to say something else, but when he raised his eyes, he saw tears brimming in Emilia’s eyes as well as her reddened eyes. He felt a sudden pain in his heart for a brief moment.
*Emilia?”
“Go away!”
Nathan’s hand was slapped away by Emilia.
She did not want to stay in the corridor even for a moment.
Looking at Emilia’s back and her action of raising her hand from time to time as if she was wiping the tears in her eyes, Nathan’s arm felt numb and painful after being hit hard by her.
“Could it be that I really had a child with Emilia back then?” he wondered.
Nathan started to recall back.
“Mom, Emilia had a miscarriage. I really can’t leave right now. Please take care of her, okay? I’ll bring you gifts from abroad. I hope you can help me comfort her as well.”
It was the call that Nathan had made to Fiona as soon as he got the news about Emilia’s miscarriage.
Then, he tried to recall what Fiona had said that time.
Nathan’s gaze wavered.
She said, “I think that Emilia doesn’t look like a mother who has lost her child at all, Nathan. Theoretically speaking,
she’s been pregnant for three months and had a miscarriage unexpectedly. So she should have rested. for a few days. But she was discharged from the hospital on the second day. I feel something is wrong somewhere. Could it be that she faked a pregnancy to deceive us?”
He did not doubt Emilia at that time. Instead, he just comforted Fiona and informed her not to think too much about it and to just wait for him. to go back home.
However, when he returned home, Emilia was merely silent when he was. with her. In fact, she had never mentioned anything about the child to him.

Then, he thought, “Moreover, Mom kept emphasizing about Emilia’s ‘weird‘ behavior, so I was just…”
The more Nathan thought about it, the more annoyed he felt. He pulled off the tie that was around his neck with much frustration.
As a son, Nathan did not want to doubt Fiona.
However, things had come to this point. Emilia’s attitude did not look fake. In fact, she looked like she was actually very sad. Thus, she did not have to lie.
In the dark surroundings, a light flickered. Nathan took out his phone. and made a call.
“Mr. Miller? It’s quite late. What can I do for you?”
“Go check something for me, Shawn. I want information as soon as possible.” Nathan sat on the long bench in the corridor with frustration. “Go and help me check the information about Emilia going to the hospital three years ago.”
“Why do you want to investigate Ms. Saunders all of a sudden, Mr. Miller?”
Shawn asked the question cautiously. After all, the wedding was called off earlier that day. Thus, Shawn also wanted to know what Nathan was thinking.
“Just do as you’re told. Why do you ask so many questions?” Nathan’s tone was very unfriendly. He rubbed his temples and felt at headache coming. “Go and check Emilia’s pregnancy examination report from when she was pregnant at that time, as well as the information. about the miscarriage and the surgery. Find out whether all of these are
true.”
“Okay!”
