One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 170 Is She Serious?

Alexander’s cold demeanor was carved into Courtney’s gaze. It felt like a sharp thorn stabbing her chest, and the unbearable pain put her at a loss for words.

“What did you say?” She did not dare believe her ears. Even if she was not Jordan’s biological mother, she would not just leave a child to die in a fire. Moreover, she was the one who had given birth to him, so they shared the same blood.

Alexander had a stiff expression on his face. “Just go. I’ll get back to you in a few days. In the meantime, I will consider our relationship and compensate you generously.”

Slap! The clear sound rang in the corridor, gaining the attention of several nurses in the distance.

There was a faint handprint on Alexander’s right cheek. Tilting his head slightly, he stayed in that stance for a few seconds. He seemed to be in shock. When he came around again, the veins in his head were throbbing. With an embarrassed look on his face, he simply stared at Courtney without saying anything. It was the first time he had gotten slapped in his life.

“Don’t bother. We’re over, Alexander.”

Courtney was clenching her fists so tightly that her nails were almost digging into her skin. It was as though the pain from it was the only thing that could keep her sane and protect the last bit of dignity she had left. Her eyes swept over the woman inside the hospital room, then she gave him a warning, enunciating every word as she went. “You can be blind, but if you bring harm to Jordan, I will make you pay for it.”

The fact that Mikayla had shown up at the hotel and managed to save Jordan in time was enough to raise suspicions, but Alexander was turning a deaf ear and a blind eye to it. He had lost his ability to reason and chose to only take things at face value.

He’s truly blind. After she spat those words out at him, she walked away without looking back.

He could not imagine what would have happened if Jordan had sustained those injuries. On the other hand, Courtney seemed unbothered and only showed up at the hospital late at night.
