Chapter 19: THE RESULT
The only one inside this car who needed medical attention was Dylan; thus, you couldn’t blame Hazel when she thought they were all going to the hospital to accompany him.
"It’s not me, it’s you!" Dylan said through his gritted teeth. From the way his hands were shaking, Hazel could say confidently that he really wanted to, at least, slap her. "We are going to check whether you are pregnant or not."
"What?" Hazel raised her brows. She almost laughed but managed to stop herself. Instead, she leaned her back and took a nap; she didn’t have the slightest worry about the result of it. It was already very ridiculous to think she was pregnant.
Arlo chose Aubrey because she was pregnant with their child, while she... she was barren. What happened three years ago took so much from her.
This time, Hazel dreamed of the time when Arlo asked her out for the first time.
Both of their families were very close, as they were in the same line of business; thus, she had known Arlo ever since they were little. He was a cute, quiet kid in River’s eyes back then.
If the Lozen family was the family of assassins and they gathered crucial information, then the Barlowe family was the one who found the clients for them. They had an intricate connection. You could say they had their hands in almost all illegal businesses.
While on the surface the Barlowe family was a family of businessmen from Aspen City, behind the closed door, well, you could say they ruled the underworld. Not many families had the same standing as them.
Therefore, for Hazel not being able to give an offspring to Arlo was indeed a problem, yet he could end things with her and pursue Aubrey. It was not like Hazel would grovel and beg him to stay. She was not going to lower herself like that.
But to kill her... they had taken things too far.
