Jaylen stared at her and said, "I have a very good idea."

Jaylen spoke up without waiting for Camila's response. "If you no longer have anything to do with Isaac, and you've already broken up with your boyfriend, then why not be with me?"

He had already asked about the child's father, and she had told him that it was her boyfriend, whom she had already broken up with.

So now, she was single, and the child was fatherless.

“No, I-"

“Don't refuse me right away," Jaylen interjected again.

“I've been good to you in all these months, haven't I? We are friends, aren't we? You can't stay here forever. If you don't want Isaac to find you, you'll need a new identity..."

Camila stared at him, her thoughts racing

He had a point. She really couldn't stay here for long at all.

Isaac was bound to find her sooner or later.

“I can be your shield," Jaylen proposed with a wicked smile.

“You can tell Isaac that the child is mine."

Though he was not the baby's father, he wanted Isaac to think he was. Isaac would no doubt blow a fuse. Jaylen was already looking forward to it.

"No," Camila said, bursting his bubble. She had no intentions of letting Isaac know about the child at all.

The man had a monstrous temper.

What if he vented his anger and hurt her baby?

She couldn't possibly risk it, not after she had gone through hell and back to keep it.

But she had to admit that Jaylen's suggestion made a lot of sense.

“Ouch!" A sharp pain suddenly shot up in her lower abdomen.

Camila's hands immediately cradled her aching belly.

Jaylen frowned.

“Are you in pain? Are you about to give birth?"

"I... I think so," she replied as calmly as she could. She gingerly got to her feet and added, "Please take me to the hospital."

Jaylen agreed, just as Rowena came into the room with a glass of milk in her hand.

"Are you going out?" she asked, mildly confused
