Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 948 Having It All

When Ivanna saw Lauren's dark expression, she nudged her shoulder and said, "Alright, don't be mad anymore. I didn't do anything, and I still have the baby."

Lauren looked at us, her mouth agape in shock. Then she asked me, "Is that true?"

I nodded solemnly. "She didn't go through with it. When she got on the operating table, she regretted it and called it off."

Lauren was puzzled and asked me, "Didn't you go to the hospital to ask about this?"

"I asked the medical assistant, but she didn't explain things clearly. She just said a patient named Ivanna had come in for an abortion and was done with it. I thought she had done it and had gone back, but the reality is... well, you can see what happened," I explained and chuckled.

Lauren collapsed onto the sofa, looking utterly dejected. She lay there staring at the ceiling, seemingly without hope. After a while, she said, "Let's make some food. I haven't eaten all day. Every time I open my eyes, I start looking for her. If this goes on, my blood pressure will skyrocket. Living with you is like being on a roller coaster. But the good thing is, you didn't do anything dumb."
