Chapter 636
636:
Gorman noticed the worry etched on her face; it was clear she was aware of her pregnancy.
In a calm tone, he reassured her, “You fainted because of strong emotions. It’s important for expectant mothers to avoid stress, as it can affect the baby’s health.”
In that moment, the doctor had mistakenly assumed Gorman was Linsey’s husband and the father of her child.
But that was not the case.
The father of Linsey’s baby was none other than the deceitful Collin.
Linsey murmured softly, her hand resting gently on her stomach. “Thank goodness the baby is fine.”
Gorman considered bringing up her future plans or whether she was thinking of returning to Collin, but seeing her fragile state, he chose to remain silent.
“Get some rest, Linsey,” he said reassuringly. “Call me if you need anything. I’ll be right outside.”
Linsey assumed he must be busy with other duties and nodded, deciding to let the matter rest.
At that moment, her phone suddenly rang.
As Gorman stood to leave, his eyes caught the caller ID—Dear Husband.
He stopped abruptly.
Linsey saw who it was—it was Collin calling. She maintained her composure and picked up the phone.
As Gorman was about to leave, he caught sight of Linsey cutting off her call with Collin decisively.
A surge of joy washed over him.
Linsey had actually dismissed Collin’s call!

Trying to mask his glee, Gorman maintained a composed expression. “Get some rest.”
“Okay,” Linsey responded faintly, just as her phone started ringing again.
It was Collin, calling once more.
For a moment, Gorman hesitated, but his earlier words meant he couldn’t stay.
He left, acting indifferent, though his mind remained focused on Linsey’s situation.
Linsey let the phone ring, choosing silence over answering.
After the call ended, she found numerous messages from her colleagues:
“Linsey, everyone’s at the annual party. Where are you?”
“Linsey, are you on leave today?”
“Linsey, our boss is asking about you.”
With a heavy heart, Linsey replied using her left hand,
“I’m not feeling well and won’t be able to make it to the party. Have a great time!”
Next, Linsey sent a text to her superior. “Could we find a time to chat? There’s something important I need to discuss.”
