Chapter 284
Mason was shocked at what Ava sald.
Zoe’s condition had been stable all this time. What caused the preterm birth?
Ava tried to keep calm and spoke, “Noah went on trial not two days after you left, Mr. Mason. He was sentenced to six years of
imprisonment and Mr. Gordon died from a heart attack that same night. Later, Ms. Zoe received a call about it, and the shock sent her into preterm labor.”
Her answer was brief and straightforward, but the words were deafening to him.
Noah’s six-year imprisonment, Gordon’s death, and the preterm birth. All of these happened at once. He couldn’t imagine the kind of pain Zoe went through and what it meant for their relationship.
He was stunned for a long time before he asked, “What about my baby?”
Ava sounded a little at ease when she said, “She’s doing well. She can go home tomorrow! Where should we go now, Mr. Mason?”
The black Rolls-Royce Phantom looked resplendent in the parking lot. Luke stole a glance at the rearview mirror. Mason’s hands were rested on his knees as they trembled slightly. The gloominess in his profound. There were even subtle tears in them..

career. He rarely made decisions he’d regret, but he was filled with remorse at this very moment.
He thought to himself. So what if Zoe hung up the call that day? Isn’t it normal for a lady to be jealous of her husband’s mistress?
Moreover, something actually stirred in his heart when she begged him that day, but he chose to say some harsh words because of how. coldly she treated him before.
“How many times are you going to use me, Zoe?
“Do you think I still care if you want a divorce?
“What makes you think I have to have you?”
The truth was, he loved and cared about her deeply. However, he had cruelly abandoned her and left her alone when her father died and she went into labor. She must’ve gone through indescribable pain and hated him to the core when she gave birth to Yanni!
The whole thing was so overwhelming that it felt as if someone stabbed him in the heart.
Half an hour later, the Rolls-Royce pulled into Lockwood Hospital and parked near the obstetrics department.
He got out of the car and raced as fast as he could.
However, Zoe was nowhere to be seen. Lisa was the only one in the presidential suite, playing with his baby. Her voice was exceptionally tender when she said, “Give me a smile, Yanni! Come on, now! There it is! You’re so cute, sweetheart!”
The first thing he saw when he walked in was Yanni. She was wearing a yellow
w onesie and was about to close her eyes and sleep. Her tiny legs were kicking in the air. It was an adorable and endearing sight.
There were no words that could describe his feelings at that moment.

This was his and Zoe’s baby. It felt as if she popped up out of nowhere and came into their lives.
He touched Yanni’s cheeks with his trembling fingers. She had Zoe’s contours, defined and petite, but her brows were his, especially the way it curved with a hint of arrogance.
Leaning over, he pressed his face on the baby’s.
She felt warm and there was a whiff of milk powder about her that soothed his unease!
Lisa could tell her son loved the baby very much. A sudden wave of affection washed over her and she said softly, “Zoe suffered a lot when she gave birth to Yanni! Noah was sentenced to imprisonment and her father passed away as well. You have to make her feel better when you see her! I won’t intervene in your relationship with her ever again!”
Yanni’s birth had melted her heart.
A baby needs both of her parents, she thought.
She pondered for a while before saying, “Noah was about to be sent. overseas for his sentence. She’s seeing him off now! I heard she’s not coming to the hospital tonight. Instead, she’ll be staying at her parent’s place.”
