As Meryl and Chandler left together, Dalton instinctively began to follow. Lydia immediately grabbed his sleeve.
"Dalton, even if you're harsh with me, what about our child? The baby is innocent. Don't you want him?
"Look at all the doctors and nurses, and your mom-everyone wants to save him. As his father, how can you be so heartless?"
Dalton gently patted Lydia's shoulder, signaling her to let go.
He pulled his hand away and sat back down, his tone turning serious. "Just now, Meryl asked you for Rocky's number. You said you didn't have it. Is that true?"
A flicker of guilt flashed in Lydia's eyes, but it was gone in an instant.
Dalton didn't notice.
"Why would I have Rocky's number? You've forgotten that three years ago, Meryl bribed him to kidnap me? We're enemies. I hate him," Lydia said, her voice steady.
Dalton's fingers tapped lightly on the table. "But last night, while you were asleep, I got a call from a man. Guess who he said he was?"

She asked, "...Who?"
Dalton chuckled, but there was no warmth in his eyes. He glanced at Lydia, his gaze sharp. "What do you think?"
Lydia fell silent.

"Lydia, so you've been secretly in contact with Rocky all this time? Didn't he try to kidnap you three years ago? Why would you be in touch with someone who tried to kidnap you? Don't you think you owe me an explanation?" "What did he say to you? Dalton, it's not what you think!"
Lydia's mind raced, spinning a lie as easily as breathing. "Rocky called to harass me. He's been bothering me privately for years!"
Dalton laughed upon hearing this.
"So, if you knew Rocky's number, why didn't you tell Meryl when she asked?"
Some things were best left unexamined; once one dug into them, all one found were red flags.
Dalton didn't know which of Lydia's statements were true and which were false.
He didn't say more, leaving behind a look of disappointment before walking away.

Lydia was stunned, a cold sweat breaking out on her back.

She grabbed her phone from the table and scrolled through her call history.
No sign of Rocky's call.
Clutching the phone, Lydia called Rocky immediately.
The phone rang for a while before being answered.
A groggy, barely awake voice came through. "Hello?"
"Rocky, did you call me last night?"
"Nope!"
Hearing this, Lydia felt a chill of realization.
She thought, "Dalton was testing me!
He was checking if I had any contact with Rocky!"
Lydia's face fell because she realized she had walked right into Dalton's trap.
Although she claimed that Rocky had been harassing her, it was clear from Dalton's departing look that he didn't believe her.
"What's the deal? Waking me up at the crack of dawn just to ask if I got a call from you?"

Fuming over her recent near-miscarriage, Lydia shifted all her anger onto Rocky. "Why did the kidnapping go wrong last night? Why was I also taken? Shouldn't you give me an explanation? "Is it that my payment wasn't enough? You took my money and didn't deliver, Rocky-you're a piece of crap!"
