Chapter 657

 657:
Upon their return to the vehicle, Linsey and Gorman settled inside.
Linsey, still gasping for breath, closed the car door behind her.
Gorman, observing her distress, reached for a thermos nearby and offered it to her. “Here, take a sip of water. It might calm you down,” he suggested gently.
With a quick, grateful look, Linsey accepted the thermos. “Thanks.” Although Gorman acknowledged her polite expression of gratitude, he decided not to respond this time.
Gorman stayed patient, knowing that Linsey’s upcoming divorce from Collin would give them more chances to grow closer.
He was optimistic about their future, confident that his constant support would gradually help Linsey let go of her formality.
“Try leaning on this cushion for a bit more comfort,” Gorman said as he adjusted a cushion behind her.
After Linsey had finished her water, Gorman set the thermos back in place and adjusted a new cushion behind her, making sure she was more comfortable.
Linsey tested the cushion’s support, settling into its softness with a slight lean. “This is really nice. Did you just buy this? It seems brand new.”
Pleased, Gorman responded, “I picked it up while I was waiting for you. Since you’re pregnant and tend to feel uncomfortable, I thought this might make things easier. It’s not the best one available, but I’ll find a better one for you soon.”
Surprised by his thoughtfulness, Linsey reassured him, “Really, it’s perfect as is.”
Gorman’s consideration left a lasting impression.
As the car began to move, Linsey’s thoughts shifted to something else, and she decided to ask Gorman for help. “Gorman, there’s actually something I need your assistance with,” she said.
Gorman’s face lit up. He was eager to assist. “Of course, Linsey. Whatever you need, just let me know.”
Leaning closer, Linsey whispered, “Please, keep my pregnancy a secret, especially from Collin. Would you be able to use your influence to make sure it stays a secret? If Collin discovers it, our divorce proceedings could turn quite ugly.”

Gorman could barely suppress a grin as he heard her request.
Without a second’s delay, he responded, “Absolutely, consider it done. Rest easy, I’ll take care of it all. No one in Collin’s circle, hospital included, will hear a whisper about your pregnancy.”
Linsey let out a relieved exhale at Gorman’s promise. “Thank you.”
With a light laugh, Gorman replied, “You’re welcome.”
He actually took pleasure in the idea of keeping Collin unaware of Linsey’s pregnancy.
From this moment on, Gorman was resolved to be the constant support standing by Linsey’s side.
When Linsey and Gorman returned to the hospital once more, a piercing scream suddenly broke the silence, causing them to freeze in place.
“I refuse to donate my bone marrow to Jeffery! Mom, Dad, remember my heart condition! Do you want to risk my life in surgery?”
