Chapter 155
“The child is not yours. I’ve told you that before,” Audrey replied bluntly. “I’ve admitted it to you at least twice before.
“Nothing happened between us on the night you were drugged. That incident happened years ago, so stop harping on it! The only thing you should feel guilty about is almost killing the child in my belly years ago.”
“Audrey, let’s not argue about the child. I’m really sorry for losing control of my emotions and almost harming the child because of Amelia!” Nathan’s tone carried a hint of coaxing. “But considering the child’s age, it can’t be anyone else but me…”
Audrey hesitated for a moment, then smiled.
“Did you forget the time you drugged me at Jacinda Hotel? My child was conceived then. You prepared the drink I had. You should know better than anyone else the consequences that medicine would bring.
“Didn’t you hope I would sleep with someone else at that time? Do you think… I would remain pure for you even when drugged?”
He remembered how he gave Audrey the alleged “truth–telling drug” at the time. He’d forced her to admit in front of so many people that they didn’t have intercourse that night.
He remembered how he strangled Audrey because of Amelia back then.
Nathan felt his heart tightening.
“Audrey, please don’t speak so harshly.” Nathan reached out to grab Audrey.
She dodged Nathan’s hand, turning to the side.
“My child was indeed conceived on the night at Jacinda Hotel. If you don’t believe me, I can cooperate with you for a paternity test. I just hope you won’t appear in front of me after that. It’s disgusting.”
Disgusting.
Like a sharp dagger, the word pierced Nathan’s heart.
Nathan once said these words to Audrey, as well.
It was when Audrey had just emerged from a vegetative state, trying her best to make him remember their past, trying to take him to Sheysea High School…
He pushed Audrey away and said, “I can go to Sheysea High School with you, but this will be the last time! I hope you won’t appear in front of me after that. It’s disgusting.”
He watched Audrey’s receding figure get swallowed up by the flow of people crossing the street.
Nathan’s eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his teeth.
It wasn’t until his phone rang multiple times that he refocused his attention.

He took out his phone and saw it was a call from Amelia. He wasn’t in the mood to answer, so he muted the phone and put it back in his pocket.
He then turned back to the car.
Just as Nathan was about to rev the engine and leave, Audrey’s words from earlier suddenly appeared
in his mind.
“My child was indeed conceived on the night at Jacinda Hotel. If you don’t believe me, I can cooperate with you for a paternity test.”
The child was conceived on the night at Jacinda Hotel?
No, impossible. Joseph said the child was his!
But if Audrey really did have relations with someone else that night… Then, it was he who sent Audrey to another man’s bed.
Nathan realized this belatedly, and his entire body stiffened.
“You prepared the drink I had. You should know better than anyone else the consequences that medicine would bring.”
What exactly was that medicine?
Nathan took out his phone and dialed Charles‘ number.
Soon, Charles answered the call.
A girl’s voice coquettishly chimed in on the other end. “Hello, Nathan!”
Then came Charles‘ voice, sounding cheerful. “What’s up?”
“A few years ago at Jacinda Hotel, the medicine you prepared for Audrey… You said it was switched to an aphrodisiac. Was that medicine… very potent?” Nathan asked, gripping the phone tightly.
