Kostel panicked when Gohin declared that. Thus, she was squeezing her brain to look for an excuse. Gabin would leam about her pregnancy if he accompanied her to the hospital
“Gabin, I said it’s just a minor abdominal pain, now better than anyone if something is going on in my body. Right? Kristel eyed Galvin, hinting the had known enough medical knowledge to differentiate her discomfast from the sympte
However, Galvin was firm in bringing her to the hospital. She was stubborn, and he knew she would not have a check–up if he wouldn’t accompany her
“It’s better to make sure what it is thaisignoor it; then, you confalon is actually serious ” Ils prespective is based on his mum experience. Also, they wereabout to get divorced. What would their family say if they learmed he didn’t care enmigh about herwell–being? Once they were divorced, then, who would take care of her?
Galvin was termined when he had this thought. Why did he care for her when they were getting diwed?
Although he admits that Kaistel provided him with mental and physical support inthe one year of their marriage, as she handled his well–being when he was sick. Hertums no emotional attachments to her except money and bed. While he was grnemus to her allowance, heused her body and did whatever he thinks is an exciting plato his heart’s content
On the other hand, Kristel didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry with the concem Calvin showed her. Why now when he was about to dirotor her? Isn’t it
“No, It’s not serious. Probably I just ate something spoiled last night.
Dalvin creased his torrhead and asked, “What did you eat last night? Is it the food you bought at Chet Raymond’s restaurant?

“No, I haven’t eaten that.” Kristel explained coldly. “When you left last night, I also left and returned home e to pack up. After that, I was famished, so I find something from the fridge. I think I must dispose of the old ingredients and buy new stocks.”
Galvin scrutinized her for a long time. He seemed to ensure that she was telling the truth. However, Galvin had thought differently. He was upset that Kristel pretemed to pack her stutt than to remember eating dinner…
“Is this how excited she was to leave me?‘ Gloominess clouded Galvin’s eyes. But he good the fact Kristel was eager to finalize their divorce. In the meantime, Kser had to stay by his side as long as he did not sign it. “Let us ser…….”
Something was herwing inside Galvin’s head, and Kristel was oblivious to his thoughts, as she was only concerned with her own heartache.
Kristel felt cold in her heart when galvin remained silent for a long while She no longer has high expectations of him. But she throws up in the sink again. Thus, she was amtious when he insisted on taking her to the hospital, which she could no longer decline.
Before Galvin left the bathroom, he glanced at Kristel’s swollen neck. He felt conflicted. Is this why Flona seemed displeased looking at Kristel? Galvin thought to himself. He retracted his gaze and told Kristel with a hint to cover herneck. “Go change your clothes. I’ll get the car ready.”
Kristel was left behind in the bailom, rendered speechless. She pursed her lips, and she could feel bittemess in her mouth. “Timow he doesn’t want anyone lo know I was his legal wife.‘
She went to the main bedroom, grabbed a halter dress, and put on a hoodie jacket to cover her face, especially her neck
Downstairs, Fiona followed Carin into the garage the beamed when he p

*Galvin, I’m ready!” Fioru approached the car. Her voice was vibrant, meaning she didn’t feel weak anymore.
“That’s good. You can go to the mall first.”
Foncreased her forehead, confused. She asked, “What do you mean?”
“I need to take Kristel to the hospital.” Galvin retorted, which shocked Flona. She was in disbelief and thought she heard it wrong
“Aarn’t we buying grandma’s gift?” Fiona raised a question while grabbing the car handle and opening the door. She was about to sit in the passenger seat when Galvin replied to her query.
“Don’t worry I’ll be right there after Kelstel’s check–up.”
Fiona felt like the sky had fallen on her head. “What does talin mean by that?

Not in this life! Tina thought.
“Galvin, how would I go to the mall? I didn’t bring my car. There is no taxi passing by “This estate was exclusive to a few owners only. Thus, no one just coincidentally passed by on private property permises. And no one can get through the entrance without a pass. “I’ll come along.”
“No, wall heir. Cory will pick you up and drive you to the mall,” said Galvin, which irked Fiona
She retracted her hand from the car handle and clenched it into a ball. She was exasperated but did not show Gabin how upset she was that he would leave her here alone instead and accompany Kristel to the hospital

“She’s really out of fashion!” She thought Kristel’s choice of clothes was hilarious,
“Kristel, don’t dare to assume that Galvin’s kindness is mut of love. He only felt guilty about you. Also, I was the one who unged him to bring you to the hospital Be grateful to me, and I let you borrow Galvins for one year. Now that I’ve returned? I’m here to take him back.” Fiona sald like they were talking about a boy she threw. Now she wants to pick it up when she sees it benefits her lavish lifestyle.
Before Kristel could counter, Fiona stepped closer and lowered her voice, saying, “I know you have had a crush on him since High School. Am I conect, Kristel?” Kristel trembles when Finns reveals her secret. She indeed had a mishon Galvin, which started in High School.
