Instructing Victor to escort Janey back first, Raegan started to make her way to the obstetrics department for a checkup.

By then, Janey had settled down, and her tears subsided, though she was reluctant to leave Raegan's side. Pouting, she murmured, "Mommy, just now..."

Seeing Raegan's pallor, Victor swiftly intervened, "Janey, let's discuss it tonight at home, alright?"

Observing her mother's distress, Janey nodded solemnly. “Okay. Mommy, I'll wait for you to come back."

"Very well, Janey. Be good and listen to Victor," Raegan reassured Janey before heading off for her examination.

After Victor departed with Janey, Raegan proceeded with her ultrasound.

The results were promptly delivered, and the doctor reassured Raegan, "Nothing serious. Just ensure you supplement with folic acid, get plenty of rest, and try to avoid stress."

Raegan felt the tension in her heart dissipates. She expressed her gratitude to the doctor, accepting her report, and as she exited, she accidentally collided with someone. Quickly apologizing, she began, "Sorry..."

Before she could complete her apology, Raegan realized she had collided with Henley.

Henley's gaze fixed on the medical report in her hand, and he extended his hand, saying, “What were you having checked? Let me see."

Raegan stepped back and concealed the medical report behind her, eyeing Henley cautiously. "And why do you care?"

Henley, unruffled, flashed a serene smile. “Why are you here alone for the check-up?"

“Mr. Brooks, I don't think we're close enough for this conversation,”

Raegan replied.

Ever since Janey's being kidnapped, Raegan had lumped Henley together with Lauren and Katie. ALL of them were ruthless in their own right.

Henley, shrewd as ever, knew how to sit back and profit from others' strife.

Henley's gaze bore into Raegan. "We're not exactly strangers, are we?"

Judging by the way Henley oscillated between threats and nonchalance, Raegan could tell that he was a master at manipulation. "Are you referring to the time you attempted to blackmail me with my daughter's disappearance?" Raegan challenged.

Henley was rendered speechless. He fumbled for words, attempting to justify himself. "It was a misunderstanding. Raegan, I didn't intend to blackmail you with your child's situation. I just wanted you by my side. I was investigating back then..."

“That's enough," Raegan interjected.
