Chapter 71 An Intruder

• “Hailey is not like the others,” Hollis said firmly, his voice tinged with conviction. “She’s different, Arthur. She truly cares about me and our relationship.”
• “Yes, like the ones who came before her,” Arthur interjected, his skepticism evident. “What was her name again, Lauren?” “She was just using you for her own benefit,” Arthur continued, his distrust clear in his words. “I don’t want to see you get hurt again, Hollis.” Hollis shook his head, a small smile playing on his lips. “I might have been in a coma for eight years, but I can still tell when someone is genuine,” he said confidently. “And she is pregnant too; I suggest taking a parental test to confirm if the child is indeed yours,” Arthur added. His concern for Holly was evident in his tone.
