Chapter 543
So that was it.
Evangeline lowered her gaze. Her heart, which had been filled with anger, suddenly felt hollow.
So, that was the truth.
It turned out everything was because Trey had given Wolter an order. Walter had no choice but to comply. so he called her about accompanying her to the prenatal checkup.
However, it was Walter. Would he compromise so easily?
“Are you serious?” Evangeline asked, unable to believe it.
“I am.”
Walter pretended to be impatient, grumbling. “Do you think I have nothing better to do? If it weren’t for the old man’s strict orders, telling me to make time to accompany you to the checkup, I wouldn’t even bother!”
He knew Evangeline all too well.
Evangeline was a dutiful woman.
She would have refused without a second thought if he simply said he wanted to accompany her to the checkup. However, bringing up his grandfather would leave her with no choice.
“If that’s the case, I’m relieved,” Evangeline said in a calm voice, but her heart had already turned cold.
She did not want to hear another word from Walter.
Every sentence he spoke was like a knife stabbing straight into her heart..
She kept reminding herself that Walter did not want to accompany her because he cared about her or the baby. He only did that because his grandfather had given him an order. He was only fulfilling his duty.

“I’ve scheduled a checkup for the day after tomorrow. The baby is already,three months along, and it’s
time for the next exam.”
Yale immediately frowned.
“When did you schedule the appointment?”
“Yesterday, I think.

appointment.
*Postpone it. Or, we can bring a doctor to the house for the checkup.”
No matter what, he was unwilling to take any chances with Evangeline and the baby in her belly!
Yale did not realize that his vague suggestion had triggered Evangeline’s suspicion.
“Uncle, has something happened?”
A prenatal checkup required equipment. Bringing a doctor to the Foster family estate was easy enough, but it would have been a waste of manpower and resources to get all the necessary equipment for just
one exam.
In the past, her uncle would have never agreed to something like that.
Sure enough, Yale hesitated before answering. After thinking it over, he finally gave Evangeline a straight
answer.
it the
“We heard from the black market that someone else purchased information about your whereabouts after Beck was caught. One of the details they bought was about your upcoming prenatal checkup at hospital.
“Evangeline, the hospital isn’t safe anymore. Why don’t you reschedule the checkup, or we can do it at home?”
