Lost My Love Before Daybreak novel Chapter 7

Ding! Another notification sounded, accompanied by a photo—

It was Ivan, smiling as he pressed his face against the woman’s belly.

At that moment, Linda’s disgust reached its peak.

She turned off her phone.

The next day, Linda was out of her blood treatment medication, so she went to the hospital alone to pick it up.

As she approached the hospital entrance, she came face-to-face with Katherine and Ivan.

“Mrs. Martin, what a coincidence! Are you here at the hospital too?”

Katherine greeted her warmly, her smile sweet and inviting.

Ivan instantly let go of Katherine, hurrying over to Linda’s side and explaining in a rush, “I came here to pick up your blood treatment medication. I just happened to run into her, and seeing her alone, I thought I’d help her out.”

A hint of mockery flashed in Linda’s eyes as she pretended to know nothing and asked, “Miss, are you feeling unwell?”

Katherine seemed pleased with the question, as if it was exactly what she wanted.

Ivan shot her a warning glance, but she ignored him, gently rubbing her belly with a look of happiness. “Oh, no, I’m not unwell. I’m just here for a prenatal checkup since I’m pregnant.”

Linda watched her silently, her gaze as calm as a still lake.

The atmosphere grew unnervingly quiet, and Ivan’s palms began to sweat, the dampness seeping through his shirt and onto her arm.

Suddenly, Linda smiled and said without emotion, “Congratulations.”

As Katherine’s face fell in disappointment and Ivan breathed a sigh of relief, Linda spoke again—

“Where’s the baby’s father? Why didn’t he come?”

Linda remained composed, while Katherine froze, instinctively glancing at Ivan.

Ivan ignored Katherine entirely, instead offering Linda a flattering smile. “We’re here to get your medication, no need to worry about irrelevant people. Her boyfriend’s probably busy with work.”

With that, Ivan shot Katherine a dark look.

Just moments ago, Katherine had been proudly cradling her belly, but now her face turned pale as she forced herself to agree. “Mr. Martin is right… my boyfriend is busy with work.”
