How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 156

Eddy's eyes drifted toward the staircase, but there was no one there. Only silence.

"If you mess this up again, you know what will happen to you," he said, his voice like ice.

Dr. Smith, clearly anxious, still pleaded, "Mr. Simmons, during my recent trip abroad, I saw that medical technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. We don't have to wait for the baby to reach full term—she can be delivered early and cared for in an incubator. Even if there are issues with her heart, we can treat them immediately. It would minimize any harm to your wife's body, and both mother and child could survive—she wouldn't have to endure the heartbreak of losing her daughter."

He grew more animated as he spoke, believing he could sway the man before him. "Mr. Simmons, your wife is carrying the little girl she's always dreamed of having."

There's no father who doesn't love his own child.

For a split second, the word "daughter" made Eddy's cold features tighten, and his reply was even frostier. "Does my wife know the baby's still alive?"

If his wife found out she was carrying the daughter she so desperately wanted, she'd never agree to end the pregnancy—even if it put her own life at risk.

Meeting Eddy's icy gaze, Dr. Smith admitted quietly, "She doesn't know."

He'd already betrayed Blanche by revealing the truth. He couldn't let Eddy think Blanche had been lying to him all along.

"Fine," Eddy said, his tone unyielding. "Get ready for the procedure."

Dr. Smith tried one last time. "But, sir, eventually your wife will learn the truth. The emotional fallout could be devastating, especially given her history of trauma. If she relapses, God knows what might happen. Please—just think it over."

"That's your daughter too."

Upstairs, Blanche pressed herself against the bedroom door, hand clamped over her mouth to stifle any sound. Terror clawed at her chest.

Across the hall, Eddy's voice rang out again, colder and more final. "I've made up my mind—take the baby out!"

"No one—absolutely no one—hurts my wife. Not even my own child."
