Chapter 167 Her First Man 

As soon as Troy thought about the possibility that it might be true, he was quickly caught up in a whirling vortex of emotion

Veins pulsed on his forehead as he gritted his teeth, struggling to stop himself from losing his temper

He and Imogen couldn’t have a child together

Yet, she had a child with another man

He thought, Who is that man? Was he her first man? He actually let Imogen give birth alone and didn’t take responsibility for her? If I know who he is, I swear I will tear that person into shreds!Then, he recalled Imogen’s wish to go abroad with Liam all along, so he wondered if that man could be Liam

He thought, Do they have a home together abroad? Have they been together since she was in her junior year?” 

Flames of anger flared in the corners of his heart, its flames burning more fiercely with each. passing moment, almost consuming Troy’s sanity

All the while, Lane leaned against the wall outside the ward, as still as a statue, quietly perking up his gars to listen carefully

There was no sound coming from the ward

It was as if there was no one inside

Lane thought to himself, Mr. Marshall must be very sad right now, silently reminiscing about the past, licking the wounds in his heart, and digesting all the bitterness.” 

Bang!” 

Suddenly, a deafening noise echoed from the ward, causing Lane to shudder

Following that came a series of crashing sounds

If one listened closely, one would be able to distinguish the thud made by a table being overturned, the friction of a sofa being moved, the sharp and piercing sound of glass shattering, and the clang of something dropping to the floor… 

Lane cringed in fright, thankful that he had come out

He could vividly imagine Troy kicking over a table in a fit of 

rage

The ward fell into silence once again following that cacophony of noises

After what felt like an eternity, a hoarse voice finally came from inside, You can go back now.” 

The voice sounded relatively calm, but with careful listening, one could detect a hint of weariness and bitterness beneath the surface

Lane glanced at his phone. It was already eleven at night

Given the situation, he figured Troy wouldn’t be getting any sleep at all

Lane arrived at the hospital ward early the next morning

Upon entering, a heavy smell of cigarette smoke filled the air, so thick that it was suffocating

The room was in complete disarray, with the table overturned, the sofa moved, and everything scattered on the floor

Troy sat on the armchair, leaning against the backrest. His legs were crossed, his arms rested on 

the armrests, and his eyes, which were tightly shut, had dark circles underneath

It seemed that he was in the same position when Troy left the day before

The floor in front of him was covered in a thick layer of cigarette ash

Cigarette butts were strewn everywhere, too numerous to count

Lane sighed and walked to the window across the room, opening it to let in fresh air

After a few seconds of silence, he approached Troy slowly. Mr. Marshall, would you like to change to another ward? I can have this place cleaned up for you.” 

After a long while, Troy, with his eyes closed, spoke in a hoarse voice as if there was sandpaper in his throat, All right.” 

Seeing that Troy didn’t bring up the idea of leaving the hospital anymore, Lane felt relieved

He was truly worried that if Troy insisted on leaving in his current condition, his body wouldn’t hold up

He really felt for Troy

While assisting Troy in dealing with the aftermath of the car accident, he checked the 

surveillance footage

If it weren’t for Imogen, Troy wouldn’t have sustained such serious injuries only to find out about that kind of news

Fate could be quite cruel

Lane went out for a while, and when he returned a few minutes later, he said to Troy, Mr. Marshall, you can go to the neighboring ward for now. Someone will come to clean up here shortly.” 

Sure.” 

Troy slowly opened his eyes

His gaze was dull and lifeless, calm and still as water in a bottomless pit, while his eyes were bloodshot

Due to not having slept all night, the folds of his eyelids were even more pronounced. His brows were twisted into a deep frown as he exuded a fierce aura that was filled with resentment

He stood up, stepped over the debris on the ground, and walked straight to the neighboring ward. Lane followed closely behind, pouring him a glass of water before placing it on the table in front of Troy and asking, Mr. Marshall, is there anything you need me to do?” 

He believed that after learning this news, Troy would make a move

Troy sat down on the sofa, crossing his long legs, lazily leaning against the backrest. He pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb and index finger, revealing the stainless steel watch on his 

wrist

He slowly picked up the glass of water and took a sip, his voice deep as he ordered, Find someone to investigate what happened during Imogen’s third year of studying abroad. Make it as detailed as possible.” 

After sitting still in the ward smoking for the entire night, he finally managed to calm down and comb through everything, pinpointing several inconsistencies in it

First of all was something he had been suspicious of from the beginning. It was obviously Imogen’s first pregnancy due to how clueless and inexperienced she seemed. If she had really 

given birth before, she should have had some experience

Secondly, if Imogen had really given birth before, her child should be somewhere

Did she completely disregard the child’s existence, or did she have some connection with him?He wondered

Troy was certain that during the three years of their marriage, Imogen hadn’t returned to the city where she studied

Lastly, after calming down, he realized that the child probably had nothing to do with Liam

Back then, they hadn’t even recognized each other

And considering Imogen’s concern for the child and her fondness for Liam, if they had a child together, she would definitely be with him

Even if Liam abandoned her in the end, she wouldn’t abandon the child to marry him

Troy hadn’t forgotten that Imogen had thought about divorcing him and raising the child on her 

own

So, all that was left was the question of who the child’s father was

That was what Troy wanted to know the most

In any case, everything was way too suspicious, and Troy couldn’t just let it go

He had to uncover the truth of the matter before he could lay his worries to rest

Understood,Lane answered

Please do it as soon as possible!Troy urged in a stern tone

I will.” 

After a short rest at the hotel, Imogen and her companions, guided by Charlie, began their journey in Oslo

They had arrived just after a snowfall, leaving a thick layer of snow on the ground. However, that didn’t dampen their enthusiasm for exploring the city

Their first destination was Karl Johans Gate

It was said to be the busiest shopping street in Oslo

On both sides of the street, antique buildings stood, housing a variety of shops, including restaurants, cafeterias, shopping malls, and numerous luxury brand stores like LV, Chanel, and Hermes, among others, which reminded them somewhat of Sacia City’s famous shopping street

There weren’t a lot of pedestrians, and the three of them strolled leisurely along the street

Imogen had her hands in her pockets, stepping on the thick snow, occasionally glancing around, her pace 

unhurried. She didn’t look like a tourist at all

Charlie was the most active among them, constantly using her phone’s camera to capture the scenery along the way, occasionally stepping into a store to browse

The tax refund rate there was quite high, making luxury shopping very costeffective

Soon, Charlie had her hands full of shopping bags, while Alex had also bought several reasonably priced items, intending to bring them back to give to his parents, relatives, and other friends. Hey, could one of you take a picture of me?Charlie stood in front of a building, waving the shopping bags in her hand

A Younger Boyfriend 

The building was in typical gothic style with towering spires, distinct lines, simple and bright, grand and magnificent. The round dome windows were adjacent slender columns, and two sculptures of figures stood on each side

Alex took the shopping bags from Charlie’s hand and pointed to Imogen, saying, Let Imogen take the picture for you!” 

Alex was a professional photographer, but he could tell that Imogen wasn’t very enthusiastic. Thus, he wanted to engage her more and make her more active

Imogen, take a picture of me!Before Imogen could refuse, Charlie handed her the phone. Imogen reluctantly found an angle and took a few pictures for Charlie

Charlie looked at the phone and exclaimed, Wow! This is great, Imogen! You made me look so beautiful!” 

Alex glanced over and smiled. Imogen, you have some skills. Maybe you should become our exclusive photographer from now on!” 

Huh?Imogen furrowed her brows

Charlie chimed in. Yes, yes, you should be our exclusive photographer! Don’t refuse. You’re here for a vacation and not taking photos? Then be our photographer!” 

All right,” Imogen agreed

She figured that she should indeed distract herself with something else

For dinner, they chose a local restaurant based on various guides that Charlie had looked up, serving classic dishes from the place

According to Charlie, some classic dishes in such cold weather would be exceptionally satisfying. The restaurant was mainly filled with foreigners, and the waitstaff could speak a few phrases in their language

After ordering several side dishes, the three of them went to get drinks

Suddenly, someone bumped into Imogen

Turning her head, Imogen saw a young man with a slightly flushed face. He looked at her apologetically and then at her clothes. He quickly apologized in his tongue, Sorry. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean it.” 

Imogen looked where he was glancing and saw a spot on her clothes that got dirtied

In the local tongue, Imogen said, It’s okay. Just be a bit more careful next time.” 

Imogen returned to her seat with her drinks, grabbed a few tissues, and wiped the dirties spot as hard as she could. Nonetheless, there was a stain that was quite noticeable against her white down jacket
