My Husband’s Heir Cost Him His Own Daughter Chapter 20

“Yes, that’s me.” Carter grabbed onto the thread of hope. “Where is Amelia? She’s my wife. She gave birth here last night!”

“I know.” The nurse’s gaze flickered to Savannah’s face and lingered for a moment. “And if you’re Carter Beauchamp, I suppose this must be the mistress?”

“What mistress? What are you talking about?” Savannah exploded. “Did Amelia say something to you? Carter, you see? You’re gone for one day and she’s already spreading lies about me all over the hospital!”

The nurse gave her a look of pure disdain and didn’t even bother to respond. She spoke directly to Carter.

“Everyone in this hospital knows about Ms. Lowell. She was brought in hemorrhaging last night. We called you repeatedly. You didn’t answer. And then you hung up on us. The baby was born hours ago, and Ms. Lowell has already left. Don’t you think you’re a little late?”

“My phone was off! I didn’t know!” Carter’s voice cracked with urgency. He grabbed the nurse’s arm. “I have to see her! Where is she? And the baby? Is it a boy or a girl? Are they okay?”

The nurse yanked her arm away.

“Ms. Lowell has been discharged.”

Carter froze, the words not computing.

“Discharged? Where did she go?”

The nurse looked at his devastated expression, and a flicker of pity seemed to cross her face before she hardened it again.

“As for the baby… I heard it was a very beautiful little girl. Ms. Lowell has already taken her back to Boston.”
