Seeing Hugo’s reaction, Henry realized he had hit the nail on the head.
Henry adjusted the rearview mirror and began to speak in a serious tone, “Boss, think about <ol><li>it. If your ex–wife really didn’t care about you, why would she have the baby? From what I’ve </li></ol>
seen, when my friends get divorced, if the woman is pregnant, she doesn’t hesitate to
terminate the pregnancy. It cuts ties cleanly and makes it easier to start a new rtionship.
But clearly, your ex–wife didn’t do that. She’s a smart and beautiful woman with her own
ideas. If it wasn’t for this reason, I can’t think of anything else!”
Henry analyzed, sounding extremely earnest.
He was so earnest that after saying it, he thought maybe it was true. Maybe the boss hadn’t
realized it yet, but he had. How could he be so clever!?
Hugo frowned as he listened. Scarlett had indeed said she had terminated the pregnancy,
and he had believed her.
But that wasn’t the case.
Until now<i>, </i>he hadn’t really thought about the reasons behind it. He was just lost in the joy of
having something he thought was lost returned to him.
Now, hearing Henry’s perspective… it seemed to make sense.
For some reason, a smile crept onto Hugo’s face.
Looking at Henry, Hugo rxed his furrowed brows and instructed, “Drive faster.”

He was eager to find Scarlett and get some answers.
The tension in the car was palpable, and Henry quietly exhaled, relieved.
Half an hourter, the car pulled up at the hospital.
“You can head back,” Hugo said, opening the car door to leave.

Henry hesitated, his mouth opening as if he wanted to say something, “Boss…”
Hugo turned back, his gaze fixed on him.
After careful consideration, Henry awkwardly smiled and said, “Boss, girls are usually
sensitive… You get what I mean, right?”
True.
Girls are usually sensitive, but was Scarlett just any girl?
If
you lumped them all together, Scarlett wouldn’t be Scarlett!
Without a word, Hugo nced at him, mmed the car door shut, and headed straight into
the hospital.
Uh…
The boss probably understood, right?
“Yeah, that must be it!” Henry nodded to himself, confirming his thoughts. As he followed
Hugo into the hospital, he quickly sped up and left the ce. Tonight, he hadn’t said a word!

Inside the hospital, the hallway was nearly empty, enveloped in silence.
Hugo headed straight to Scarlett’s room, which was just a couple of doors down <i>from </i>his
own.
When he reached the door, the lights inside were off. Was she asleep?
After a moment’s hesitation, Hugo decided to enter anyway, even if it was just to see her for
a second.
He opened the door as quietly as possible.
The room was pitch ck.
He moved toward the bed, eyes adjusting to the darkness.
“Who’s there?” A voice suddenly came from behind him, and a hand reached out to attack.
Hugo reacted swiftly, dodging and turning to easily pin the person against the wall.
“Don’t be scared, it’s me,” Hugo’s deep voice reassured.
At such a close distance, Scarlett could see who it was. Her eyebrows furrowed as she
recognized him.
Hugo pressed her soft body against the wall, a slight curve forming on his sharp, handsome
face.
<i>“</i><i>So</i>, sneaking around in the middle of the night, are we?” he asked.

Scarlett winced slightly from the pain of her wound but wasn’t one toin. She looked
at him, “Mr. Hodges, aren’t you the one sneaking into other people’s rooms at night?”
“Other people’s?” he echoed, a mysterious smile ying on his lips.
“The room I sneaked into isn’t just anyone’s,” he said, his deep voice carrying a unique allure
in the dark of night.
Scarlett didn’t respond, just kept her gaze fixed on him.
Hugo met her gaze.
The night, the atmosphere, the closeness, the face, the lips…
Hugo swallowed, his eyes growing darker.
Their heavy breaths mingled in the space between them.
Looking at her, his voice seemed to grow huskier, “Scarlett… why did you decide to have all
three of them back then?”
Scarlett blinked her beautiful eyes, surprised by the question. “No particr reason…”
“Back then, you must have hated me, right?” Hugo asked.
He moved closer, his tall framepletely enveloping her. “You’re right, you should hate me. If you had terminated the pregnancy, we could have gone our separate ways, clean break. But
you didn’t… That’s not like you.”
Scarlett seemed to catch the underlying meaning in his words and looked at him. “What are

Hugo swallowed, his gaze fixed on her. “Do you… have feelings for me?”
Looking into Scarlett’s eyes, which were as indifferent as distant stars, Hugo found his words
stuck in his throat, unable toe out.
“You don’t actually think I kept the baby because I have some fantasy about you, do you?”
Scarlett asked directly.
Hugo remained silent, just staring at her in the darkness.
If that were true, he would have kissed her without hesitation… and told her exactly what he
felt!
Scarlettughed. “So, you think I had the baby to secure a ce in the Hodges Family?”
“That’s not what I meant…”
“Hugo, I left you back then because of the child,” Scarlett said.
“I don’t have many rtives, and this child is incredibly precious to me. I don’t want to risk
their life because of my failures. I can live without marriage, but I must take responsibility for
them!” Scarlett said, her words clear and powerful as she looked at him.
Hugo furrowed his brow. This wasn’t the answer he was looking for…
Yet somehow<i>, </i>Scarlett’s response was an answer in itself.
He felt an inexplicable restlessness inside.

“If these three kids are affecting you, I’m sorry. I promise that no matter who you choose to
be with in the future, they won’t interfere with your life. They’ll only be my children, Scarlett’s
kids, and have nothing to do with you!”
The more she spoke, the deeper Hugo’s frown became.
Until finally, her words sparked a sudden anger in him. “Scarlett, did you even understand
what I meant? I’m not ming you. Regarding those three kids, I feel nothing but gratitude-
grateful that you brought them into the world, grateful that you gave me the chance to be a
father, grateful that I have the opportunity to make up for lost time, grateful for the
unbreakable bond between us. Now, do you understand?” Hugo spoke slowly, his voice low
and raspy, filled with deep–seated emotion.
