TimeNovelChapter 354
Liliana decided it was best to let things lie and nodded. "Yes, | suppose he and our family just weren't meant to
be..."
Even as she spoke, her tears wouldn't stop falling. She dabbed at her eyes with a tissue, putting on a brave face
even though heartbreak was written all over her.
Finnian offered a few more quiet words of comfort before turning to find the doctor for an update.
The moment the hospital room door clicked shut behind him, Liliana's tears vanished as if they'd never been
there. Jenny was still sniffling and on the verge of sobbing again, but Liliana cut her off with a cold voice. "Stop
crying. That baby never even existed."
Jenny stared at her, tearstained and wide-eyed. "What are you talking about? What do you mean, the baby didn't
exist?"
Since Finnian had left with a nurse, there were no outsiders in the room now. A glint of malice flashed in Liliana's
eyes as she confessed, "I was never pregnant. | never even slept with Finn. But he thinks we did, and that | was
carrying his child..."
"My original plan was to wait out the ‘pregnancy’ and then secretly swap the baby for another. But now I've
changed my mind. I'll just say | lost the baby. Do you understand?"
Jenny's face went pale in shock. "Are you insane? That wouldn't have been an Everly baby! What if someone
found out later?"
Liliana rolled her eyes, irritation sharpening her voice. "It's over now, isn't it? What are you so worried about?"

otherwise, they'd just bombard her with annoying questions. The thought alone made her skin crawl.
Jenny, still anxious, finally caught on to the real issue. "But what about the
future?" she blurted. "Now that there's no baby, what if Finn leaves you and goes running back to Amara? What
are you going to do then?" She began to pace the room in a panic.
Liliana pulled back her hospital gown, revealing a fresh scar on her abdomen. Her tone was icy. "Settle down. He
oweshis life now. I'll find a way to use that."
She'd always intended to save her life-saving act for the moment she needed it most—a trump card. But now
she had no choice. Her eyes grew hard and calculating.
Meanwhile, Amara and Mr. Kevin Everly had just arrived at the hospital. As soon as they entered the room, they
saw Hogan being helped to sit up.
He'd been bedridden for days and looked like he'd wasted away-his skin hung loose over his bones,
making him look almost skeletanet

Is she mocking me? Hogan glared at her, wanting to lash out, but when he opened his mouth, no sound came
out,
"Why can't Hogan speak?" Mr. Kevin Everly asked, alarmed by his son's struggle.

Mr. Kevin Everly gave a relieved sigh and patted his chest. "That's good news."
He and Amara stayed for a little while longer, but with the hour growing late and Hogan out of danger, they
decided to head home.
