Chapter 25
I smiled. He was still good, he was brave. E me, even if I want to separate, I can’t. What’s holding me back was Ice.
‘that’s just right, Darlyn. By the way, do you have anyone with you?”
He was slapped on the forehead. “Oh, by the way! Tsk, or I’ll be the first? Someone was waiting for me, my friend at Starbucks. Do you want to come?”
“Ah, not anymore. I also need to go home right away because my son was sick …”
“were you sure?”
“Yes, go ahead, maybe your friend was waiting for you …”
“All right, be careful …” he kissed me before leaving.
I gasped for breath. I was happy to see Darlyn, she was one of my friends back then and I can say I can really count on her.
I was about to push the push cart away from the meat section when I felt dizzy. I was gripped tightly by the handle of the push cart. With one hand I squeezed my senses.
But I was immediately alarmed when my stomach suddenly hurt. I grabbed my stomach and yawned. I got out of the cart and immediately took my cellphone out of my sling bag.
I immediately dialed Roxanne’s number but she refused to answer. I called him once but he did not answer. As time went on, my stomach ached more and more and my dizziness intensified.
Next I dialed Seymour’s number but his number was unattended so I just left a text message. Jusko … maybe my son and I can do it. I accidentally dialed Ivan’s number and it rang.
I don’t care if he finds out I’m pregnant, as long as he can visit me. I got three calls but he didn’t answer the call. I just left a text with him.
I almost screamed in pain in my stomach. Jusko, what was happening to me?
I was closing my eyes because of a severe headache and stomach ache.
And the last thing I know, everything went black.
Lara’s POV
Ivan and I were here today in an expensive French Restaurant. We’re obviously having a lunch date. He invited me earlier. Who am I to refuse?
He gave me food so I ate it right away. He smiled at me and I smiled at him too. My Ivan was so sweet. It looks like my husband and I were married and the only thing missing was marriage.
It’s Rigella’s fault. If she hadn’t gotten my boyfriend pregnant, we would have been happy now. Annoyingly, I must be the one called Mrs. De Leon and not him. I was better than that woman.
“How’s work, babe?” I asked him, we’re eating our dessert now.
“Hm, it’s fine, babe. I’m just getting a little busy but it’s okay, I can always make time for you …”
I smiled. I love Ivan so much, even though I know it’s forbidden because he’s married. But isn’t that so? You’re willing to do something for the sake of love even if it’s wrong.
“Oh, you’re so sweet, babe. By the way, when were you going to annul Rigella? I mean, so we can get married, right?” I asked.
I saw that he was stunned by my question but he immediately smiled as well. Don’t tell me, he’s hesitant?
“Sooner or later, babe. Wait, I’m just going to the comfort room.” He said goodbye and kissed me on the forehead before leaving.
I sighed then crossed my arms. Something has changed in Ivan, I can feel it. I just don’t know what.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
His phone rang on the table. I frowned and picked it up. I unlocked the cellphone and looked at the message.
From: Rigella
-Ivan, where were you? Can you please go here in the supermarket? Here at the mall. I need you, please. Let me go …
I’m tired. What does he need from Ivan? He’s just acting. Yes, she was the wife but I am the dear one. He shouldn’t be sharing my time with Ivan anymore.
I immediately deleted the message and locked the cellphone again. Ivan suddenly came so I smiled at him. He smiled at me too and we continued eating.
Ivan was mine, Rigella. Mine and mine alone. He will never be you. Mark my words …
I woke up because of the light I could see. I slowly opened my eyes and realized that the fluorescent bulb was what I could see.
I looked around when I thought, this was not my room. I found out I was in the hospital when I saw dextrose attached to me.
I sighed as I remembered what had happened before I fainted. My baby …
Suddenly the bedroom door opened and a nurse was spit out. He looked even more surprised when he saw that I was awake but immediately smiled.
The female nurse approached me. “Mom, were you feeling okay?” He asked.
I bit my lower lip so hard and nodded. I couldn’t answer. I was caught in my stomach. Baby, you’re still there, right? You didn’t leave Mommy, did you?
“I’ll just take your blood pressure …” Said the nurse who I just nodded again.
After I took my BP I gasped when he said my BP was normal. I could no longer restrain myself from asking questions.
“Who brought me here to the hospital?” Kunot when I asked.
The nurse’s eyes widened when I asked her. Maybe he was surprised because I suddenly spoke.
“Uhm, a woman brought you here. She has a lot of bodyguards. But, we couldn’t get her name because she left immediately …” the nurse replied.
My forehead furrowed. Women many bodyguards? Who could that be? It’s impossible that it’s Mom because if it was her, she wouldn’t leave right away.
I just nodded. ‘thanks. By the way, how long have I slept?” I will ask.
She cleared her throat. “Uhh, it’s been about seven hours, Mam …”
“Ah, okay …”
“I gotta go, Mam. I’ll just call the Doctor so you can talk to him. Excuse me.” The nurse hugged me and left the room.
I gasped and leaned against the headboard of the bed I was lying on. So … none of those I called and texted brought me here.
