Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 846

Jasmine sniffled, feeling guilty. She would hate herself for the rest of her life if she couldn't have this baby.

Boyce picked her up off the couch, "It's late. Go to bed."

In fact, Boyce was not as calm as he appeared, but he didn't show it in front of Jasmine. If he had panicked, Jasmine would have been even more upset.

Jasmine's eyelashes were wet, "Don’t you blame me?"

She couldn't read Boyce's mind. The fact that he was so calm after his brief agitation made her very uneasy. She wondered what his true thoughts were like.

Boyce was patient and said, "I don't blame you, really."

He blamed himself. He had left right after they got married, leaving Jasmine alone. It was normal for her to be less than thoughtful sometimes. He really didn't blame her.

No matter whether he could have the baby or not, he didn't blame Jasmine. He blamed himself instead, feeling that he hadn't taken care of her.

She had married him at such a young age and he hadn't given her anything.

It was his fault.

He held Jasmine in his arms as she lay in bed and comforted her, "If we can't keep this baby, we can only say we don't have the destiny."

Jasmine nestled under the quilt and didn't say a word, except that the guilt and unease inside her didn't stop.

Neither of them slept soundly that night, but both of them pretended to sleep well.

In the morning, the two ate breakfast as if they were comforting each other, but in fact, both ate tastelessly.

"I'll take you to the hospital," Boyce said as he put on his uniform.

Jasmine nodded. Her eyes were a little swollen, which was probably because she had cried yesterday and hadn't rested well.

After she was dressed, she went out with Boyce. The two got into the car. Boyce started the car while the phone in his pocket rang.

He pressed the answer button and a voice came on the other end of the line, saying that he should come over, that someone from the government had an assignment for them. It was Boyce's first assignment since his promotion, and it was important to him. He had to do more than just get it done, but do it beautifully.

"I'll be there later," Boyce said.

"How is that going to work? You've only just been promoted, and you're not there when someone from the government comes. What must they be speculating about you in their minds then?"

"I ..."

"Why don't you go back to the police officer and I'll wait for you at the hospital?" Jasmine interrupted him. She knew he was busy, so she understood.

Boyce said, "I definitely have to stay with you today."

Jasmine pursed her lips and said, "Then you take me to the police officer. I'll wait until you're done and then we'll go to the hospital together."

She'd taken the day off anyway.

Boyce thought about it for a moment. If he left Jasmine alone at home, she would inevitably be lost in various fancies and conjectures. So he said, "All right. I'll get it done as soon as I can."

So Boyce drove to the police officer. There were quite a few people in the lobby as if they were working on some case. Boyce took Jasmine back to his office and told her to stay inside and not to wander off.

Jasmine said, "I won't interrupt your work."

They had to meet the people from the government in the conference room. He and Bruno went to the conference room to get ready.

Jasmine pulled out her phone to check if the baby could be kept if the pregnant woman was on medication. She found out that some medicines were okay and some were stronger and deadly.

Knock, knock, knock…

There was a knock on the door. Jasmine put her phone down and turned her head towards the closed door. At that moment, the door rang twice more. She walked over and opened the door.

A man in uniform stood at the door with his hat in his hand. Seeing Jasmine, he smiled and asked, "Where's Officer Shawn?"

Jasmine said, "I'm not really sure. Is there something you want with him?"

The man nodded, "Yes. We got a case a while back and we've got it all figured out. I've come to submit the relevant documents to Officer Shawn. There's still the final process to go through."

Jasmine saw the pile of papers he was holding and said, "Why don't you leave it here? I'll tell him when he gets back?"

The man thought for a moment, "It's a bit urgent. The man is still here. I'll go and find Officer Shawn."

Jasmine said, "That's fine."

The man took the things and left, and as Jasmine was about to close the door, she saw a handcuffed man come out of a room in the corridor to the inside.

His face flashed past her, and Jasmine felt as if she had seen him somewhere before. She soon remembered that this was the clinic doctor who had treated her.

She walked over to him, fearing that she had been mistaken.

She walked out of the house while the man was escorted to the car. Jasmine got a good look as she ran over, and grabbed the doctor, "Quack!"

Soon Jasmine was pulled away by the police officer.

Jasmine was too excited, "You must put him in jail. No, shoot him. People like him only harm others!"

"You know him?" A police officer pulled Jasmine aside.

Jasmine nodded, "He's treated me."

"So that's it." The police officer knew why she was so agitated and said, "Are you okay?"

Jasmine said, "I'm fine."

"Okay. It's good that you're okay." He pointed to the people in the hall, "Look at those people in the hall. They're all family members of people who are dead because of him."

Jasmine's face instantly went pale. Dead?

"What, what's going on?" Jasmine asked incoherently.

She was so shocked!

As the police officer was about to say something to Jasmine, Boyce walked over with the man who had approached him, "What's going on?"

Jasmine leaned over to Boyce and pointed at the handcuffed doctor as she said, "This man! This is the quack who treated me."

Boyce turned his head to look at her.

Jasmine said with certainty, "That's him. I can't be mistaken."

Boyce said, "I know. You go in." He took Jasmine's hand and said to the escorting officer, "Take him away."

With that, he pulled Jasmine back into his office.

"Take a look." Boyce showed her the case file.

Jasmine looked up at him and reached out to take it.
