Chapter 273

Pinebrook Hospital. Madeleine followed Julian in a daze toward the inpatient wing. Her mind was just… blank. Nothing made sense. Was it really Beckett that night six years ago? Alex was lying. He had to be. But if Beckett really was the one, why the secrecy all these years? Did he enjoy watching her run in circles like a fool? That didn't sound like Beckett at all… Madeleine clenched her fists tightly. No, Alex had to be lying. "Maddy." Dane Price stood outside the hospital ward, worry written all over his face. "Bro… what did the doctor say?" Madeleine ran up to him, nerves stretched thin. "We need a treatment plan ASAP. Can't miss the critical window." Dane stared at her. "What did Alex say?" "He… he said he's not Chris's father," she stammered, her voice trembling. Dane's expression shifted. "But there was a paternity test, wasn't there? Was it fake?" Tears rimmed Madeleine's eyes. She didn't know anymore. If Alex wasn't Chris's dad… where was she supposed to find the real one now?
