Chapter 7
Jenna’s side kept showing “typing…” but I never got a response.[]
So I turned off my phone and got up to go to the hospital.]
I’d prepared for everything.[]
But the doctor told me I was too far along for a regular abortion–I’d need to induce labor.]
The fetus was healthy.]
Labor induction required a family member’s signature.]]
Looking at that flimsy consent form, I begged repeatedly.[]
But no matter what, the doctor wouldn’t agree.]]
Without the signed form, I’d have to wait until after the divorce and bring the divorce papers…
But the cooling–off period was a whole month.[]
The longer I waited, the more damage to my body.

I had no choice.
Finally, I could only clutch that form and leave the hospital.
Just when I was feeling stuck, Jenna sent a selfie.]]
The mall’s glass reflection showed her in a low–cut top and bodycon skirt.
The landmark in the background made it obvious where she was.
Jenna was near Declan’s office right now.
I didn’t hesitate.
I immediately called a cab to go there.[]
On the way, I contacted ten local social media influencers.[]
This kind of juicy drama shouldn’t be enjoyed by just me alone.[]

Unfortunately, only five of the ten influencers were available on short notice.
But one of them had a million followers.]
That would be enough to make them internet famous.

Chapter 7
Declan usually just napped at the office during lunch.
But since Jenna could come over, they must have made plans.[]
Lunch break was only two hours, so they wouldn’t go far–definitely a nearby hotel.]
I got out of the cab and waited downstairs for Declan to get off work.
Meanwhile, in front of the influencers, I called Marcus.
He was defensive at first:[]
“Why are you calling me?”
“Don’t tell me you’re just calling to trash–talk Jenna. I know you don’t like her, but she’s never done anything to hurt you. She’s just got a certain personality…“]]
Hearing his dull voice, I interrupted impatiently:[]
“When you had dinner at her place last night, what time did Declan leave?“]
Marcus paused, then gave an embarrassed laugh:]
“Jenna kept pouring me drinks and I drank too fast. I got wasted before the end…“]]
“It was only around ten, but before I passed out, Dec said he was leaving soon to give us space.”
His voice was earnest as he chuckled:[]
“But I got way too drunk and wasted Dec’s good intentions.“]
My expression turned cold.]
Because I clearly remembered Declan coming home close to dawn last night.
Thinking about everything that happened next door, I felt physically sick.[]
Marcus and Declan had been college roommates for nearly ten years.]]
On the other end, Marcus was still asking, “What’s wrong?”
The words were on the tip of my tongue.]]
But thinking of his honest nature, I swallowed them:]
“Nothing, just wondering.“]
“By the way, are you two really getting married next month?”
“Yeah,” Marcus answered:[]

Chapter 7
“I don’t have any family, and Jenna’s situation is what it is. Plus we’re both getting older–we don’t want to wait anymore.“[]
I made a couple of “mm–hmm” sounds and quickly hung up.
If that was the case, what was Jenna’s goal in provoking me?]
