"Grandma, I just want to see Celine," Adam pleaded.
Mary sighed. "Fine, you can take a look at her."
Adam sat by the bed, gazing at Celine's delicate, pale face. He couldn't help but reach out, wanting to touch her cheek.
Mary smacked his hand away. Glaring at him, she snapped, "I said you could look, not touch!"
He reluctantly withdrew his hand. "What did the doctor say? Is the baby okay?"
Mary huffed. "Thanks for your concern. Celine and the baby are both fine."
Adam pursed his lips.
Mary eyed him carefully. "Celine is pregnant now. Tell me, don't you want to be a father?"
The hospital room was quiet. Her voice was soft under the warm lighting, carrying an almost wistful tone.
Adam replied flatly, "I never thought about it."
Mary pressed on, "Well, you can think about it now. Celine could have a son or a daughter, who might look like you or her. Imagine them calling you 'Daddy,' asking you to hold them. Wouldn't that be adorable?"
Mary's eyes sparkled at the thought. She had waited so long for a great-grandchild.
Adam lifted his gaze and looked at her. "Grandma, do you still believe Celine's baby is mine? Do you really think you're going to have a great-grandchild?"
Mary hesitated. "I..."
"Grandma, I've already told you. The baby isn't mine. Wake up and stop dreaming."
Adam was trying to protect Mary. The greater her hopes, the greater her disappointment would be later.
Mary stepped out of the room as well. They needed to uncover the mastermind.
Mary looked at Adam. "Adam, let me ask you—if we find out who's behind this, will you let them go?"
Adam frowned. "Of course not."
Mary continued, "Then let me ask you this—what if the mastermind is Carly?"
Adam's eyes narrowed. "Carly? Are you saying Carly is behind this?"
Mary and Hailey exchanged a glance. "Yes, we suspect Carly is the mastermind. She's the one who sent people to kidnap Celine and tried to abort her baby."
Hailey added, "Adam, if Carly is behind this, will you still protect her?"
