TimeNovelChapter 355
Finnian's voice was calm. "She lost the baby. She's resting now, but she'll csee you in a few days."
"She lost the baby?"
Hogan's eyes widened in shock.
A deep furrow creased his brow. He had expected Liliana to tell Finnian the truth —that she'd never been
pregnant in the first place. Instead, she'd gone with the miscarriage story.
Sure, it meant there'd be no risk of a child not of Everly blood being brought into the family, which was a relief in
itself. But Finnian was still being deceived, and Hogan couldn't help but feel uneasy about it.
Still, he knew it wasn't his place to explain. If he spoke up now, it would only make things harder for Liliana with
Finnian. So Hogan stayed quiet.
"By the way," Hogan said, suddenly remembering his own ordeal. His expression darkened. "Did they catch the
guy who hit me?"
Finnian nodded. "They did. Drunk driver. Do you want to see him?"
"Yeah. Once I'm able to get out of bed, | want to meet that bastard face to face."
"Of course. I'll set it up when you're ready."
Finnian sat with Hogan for a while longer until Peter and Bess arrived, bursting into the hospital room and
throwing themselves into Hogan's arms, both of them in tears.
Seeing the family together, Finnian quietly excused himself, leaving them space to talk.
When he got back to the Everly estate, Amara was sitting with Mr. Kevin Everly, keeping him company.
Mr. Everly had been furious when Finnian left to find Liliana, but now that Hogan was awake—and, more
importantly, Liliana's baby was gone-his mood had changed. With both problems seemingly resolved, he was in

As soon as Finnian walked in, Mr. Everly asked, "Did you see Hogan?"
"I did."
"Good," Mr. Everly replied, nodding, "And Liliana lost the baby, right? If that's the case there's nothing tying you
to her anymore End it with that man-immediately."

Finnian had just opened his mouth to respond when a sharp, high-pitched voice
cut in: "What do you mean, the baby's gone? What happened?"
They all turned to see Emma standing in the doorway, eyes wide with shock.
Mr. Everly's face twisted with annoyance the moment he saw his daughter-in-law. He stood, gesturing to Amara.
“Come, let's go upstairs. We'll talk about the rest later."
With Liliana having lost her baby, there was little chance of any new complications for now. The rest could wait.
As soon as Mr. Everly left, Emma marched right up to Finnian. "What do you mean the baby's gone?"
"Liliana lost her baby. She had a miscarriage," Finnian replied, his tone cold and flat.
Emma grit her teeth. "How did it happen? Did you go see her? Did you—"
She fired off a barrage of questions,

Without waiting for her reaction, he turned on his heel and left, ignoring the look of outrage on her face.
Emma stared after him, stunned, then stomped her foot in frustration before hurrying after him.
