And now, he was doing it again.
But I would rather he truly hated me than know he had never let me go.
“Samuel, are you actually worried about me?”
The moment I said it, his hands stilled.
A flicker of irritation crossed his face, like someone caught in the act.
“Loretta, don’t flatter yourself,” he scoffed. “I just don’t want people saying I mistreated a patient.”
I let out a dry laugh.
“Sometimes, I really think you’re pathetic.”
Samuel froze, as if he hadn’t heard me right.
When it finally sank in, he shot to his feet, the strawberries slipping from his hands and scattering across the floor.
His voice was sharp. “Do you even hear yourself right now?”
I met his gaze and threw the question right back at him.
“Aren’t you? I’ve played you over and over, and you still haven’t learned. Running back, trying to please me like a fool.
“I wouldn’t mind getting back together with you. After all, Eddie could use a stepfather. But Becky is a bit of an eyesore.”
I smirked, my gaze taunting as I looked at Samuel.
“So, how about you dump her first?”
His fists clenched so tightly that I almost thought he’d hit me.
But he didn’t.
Instead, his expression slowly cooled, his gaze hardening with determination.
“A month from now, I’ll give Becky the grandest wedding imaginable.”
He spoke my name, each syllable deliberate and cutting. “Loretta Lee.”
“I want you there to witness my happiness.”
My lips parted, just about to respond when the doctor suddenly walked in.
“Mr. Shaw, we have Ms. Lee’s test results along with the paternity test you requested.”
Samuel waved a hand dismissively, sending the stack of papers fluttering to the floor.
“I don’t need to see it. From now on, even if she dies, don’t bother telling me.”

His voice was colder than ice, and without another word, he turned on his heel and strode out of the room.
The moment he left, Rachel rushed in right behind him.
She was outside the whole time and heard everything.
“Loretta, I just don’t get it. Why won’t you let Samuel know the truth?”
