Chapter 2 I woke up to the sound of Dylan crying .
He was holding a medical report in his trembling hands .
Junie … The doctors found something during surgery … You were born without a uterus .
You … you cant have children .
Dont worry .
I wont mind .
No matter what , youre my wife .
Once youre discharged , lets adopt a child , okay ? With a child, you wont feel so lonely .
I was the one who had lost my ability to have children .
But somehow , he looked more devastated than me .
His acting was flawless .
I didnt bother exposing him .
After a long silence , I looked at the report and nodded .
Dylan burst into tears and hugged me tightly .
Ill take care of you , I promise .
No matter what anyone says , Ill stand by your side .
After the wedding , Ill transfer all my assets to you as your security .
Our chests pressed together .
But our hearts beat to different rhythms .
After a while , he hesitated .
Its just … The wedding is all set .
But with your condition … we may have to- Find someone to take my place .
We cant let the Owen family lose face .
I knew what he wanted to say .
Instead of letting myself be humiliated , I chose to walk away with dignity .
Dylan was stunned by my sudden change of heart .
16:39 Love Betrayed : A Journey of Separate Faths 1.1 % Chapter 2 But since it worked in his favor , he didnt press the issue .
His phone rang .
He glanced at the screen , then looked at me , shocked .
Junie , why did you cancel your documents ? I quickly swiped away the notification and calmly replied .
Nothing .
They expired , so I renewed them online .
He didnt question me further .
Instead , he held me tighter , his voice full of concern .
Youre not in good shape .
If you need anything , just tell me .
Ill take care of it for you .
Dylan , I want to be discharged .
His face darkened .
No.
You havent recovered yet .
I wont allow it .
I clung to his arm and pouted playfully .
Didnt you say you wanted to adopt a child with me ? The house has maids well be fine .

I want to visit the orphanage , okay ? In five years together , this was the first time I had acted cute with him .
Dylan softened and finally agreed .
At the orphanage , the moment I arrived in my wheelchair- A little girl ran straight into Dylans arms , hugging his leg .
Daddy ! His face paled .
You … dont misunderstand .
Ive sponsored this orphanage .
Shes just a child Ive visited before .
I smiled and gently touched the girls face .
She looks just like you .
If you hadnt told me , I wouldve thought she was yours .
Whats her name ? 16:39 Love Betrayed : A Journey of Separate Paths 1.4 % Chapter 2 Hope … Shes the one I planned to adopt .
Just then , Hope started crying .
Mommy … I want Mommy ! Dylan froze .
Before he could explain , Hope burst into tears , crying for her mother .
Dylans face turned pale in an instant .
He frowned deeply and looked at me .
Im fine .
Go and comfort her .
Shes a beautiful child I like her too .
My words made him sigh in relief .
Without thinking further , Dylan carried the child into his office .
I excused myself to the restroom to avoid the situation .
But outside the door , the murmurs of the employees kept filtering through .
Why would President Owen pretend his own child is an orphan ? Look at those luxury clothes each piece is worth more than my life .
Who would believe shes an orphan ? You dont get it .
President Owen planned everything .
This is the only way to bring the child into the Owen family legitimately .
When we go back , be smart dont let anything slip in front of Miss Lawrance .
As expected , the one President Owen truly cherishes is still Miss Lee .
Back in college , they loved holding events here .
I saw it back then I knew theyd end up together ! Now theyre alone in a room together … who knows whats happening ? The ambiguous laughter pressed down on my chest like a weight , making it hard to breathe .
I wheeled myself toward the door and heard a familiar voice from inside .
Is he treating you well ? He is , but hes been abroad for years , so he cant always be there .
But thats actually a good thing he wont find out about Hope .
Hes even been asking me to have a child with him .
Dylan smiled , but his eyes were filled with bitterness .
Once Hope is accepted into the Owen family , you wont have to worry anymore .
If you need anything , 16.39 Love Betrayed : A Journey of Separate Path Chapter 2 just message me .
Oh , by the way , this is a bracelet I just bought consider it a wedding gift for you .
Tatum took the gift box and playfully winked .
Why do you keep giving me things ? Its been a year since I got married , and youve already sent me so many wedding gifts .
My closet cant even hold them all .
If Junie finds out , shell definitely be upset .
Even as she spoke , her hands didnt hesitate to accept the gift .
Hope laughed happily beside her , calling out Mommy over and over again .
Just then , the orphanage director rushed in , eager to finalize the adoption paperwork .
In his hurry , he pushed open the door right in front of me .
