CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery -
Chapter 1551
Ben found it hard to describe his current emotions.
It felt as though something was violently pulling at him, threatening to tear him apart. The familiar scent lingering on Jamie overwhelmed his senses, sending his head spinning. Eventually, he blacked out. Mrs. Lucas panicked.
"Ben!" she screamed desperately, but he didn't wake up.
Jamie reacted quickly. "Mrs. Lucas, call Caleb. Ask him to come and check on Ben."
Taking Ben to the hospital would inevitably lead to media coverage. Worse, his enemies might seize this opportunity to strike. Having Caleb come over was the safest option.
"Right, I'll call Caleb now," Mrs. Lucas said hurriedly, snapping out of her panic.
Caleb, upon hearing that Ben had coughed up blood and collapsed, grabbed his medical kit and rushed over immediately.
The diagnosis was clear. Ben had been overcome by extreme anger and stress.
For a man like Ben, with his wealth and career, the root of this emotional upheaval could only be Jamie.
Caleb turned to Jamie, his eyes questioning. "What happened?"
Jamie lowered her head, unable to speak.
Mrs. Lucas sighed, guilt heavy in her voice. "It's my fault. Ben found out that Charlie is his biological son."
Caleb was stunned.
It was one thing for Ben to be consumed by the love and hate he felt for his first love, but now, to discover that Jamie's son was actually his own?
No wonder Ben was so emotional.
The first love he had loved and resented for so many years had never betrayed him. On the contrary, she had endured countless hardships to raise their child on her own. Caleb pressed his lips together, about to say something, but Mrs. Lucas interrupted, her tone anxious. "Caleb, will Ben be okay?"
If anything happened to Ben, she would never forgive herself. Her intentions had always been for his betterment, but her interference had caused this mess.
"He'll be fine. He just needs to rest, and he'll wake up soon," Caleb assured her.
Mrs. Lucas finally exhaled in relief. Her gaze softened as she turned to Jamie, tears welling up. "Jamie, I owe you an apology. Please stay by Ben's side and take care of him. And don't worry about Charlie. He's my grandson. I'll make sure nothing happens to him."
Before, she had disliked Jamie and avoided confronting the truth about Charlie to spare her conscience. But the moment she saw Charlie, her heart softened. That was the power of a blood connection.
"Alright," Jamie said, nodding. Given Ben's condition, staying to care for him was the least she could do.
Caleb and Mrs. Lucas left the room to give them privacy.
Jamie sat beside the bed, looking at Ben's pale face. Her heart softened.
If only they were ordinary people, free of all these complications. They could have fallen in love, married, and raised a family like countless others.
But life had taken a different path. He had gone from being Jack Green to Ben Lucas, and his status had skyrocketed overnight.
But reality was different. He had
gone from being Jack Green to Ben Lucas, with his background elevated overnight. No, it wasn't just that. He had always been exceptional. Even as Jack Green, his family was far better off than hers.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt a hand clasp hers. She looked up to see Ben, now awake, his eyes bloodshot and his face pale. Their eyes met, and in that moment, no words were needed.
Jamie instinctively tried to pull her hand away, but Ben only tightened his grip.
"The truth is out now," Ben said hoarsely. "My mom isn't stopping us anymore. Can't we finally be a family, the three of us?"
Jamie hesitated, her heart heavy. "But what about Winnie? You brought Charlie back, but she's still missing. Is she... is she dead?"
