Semua Bab The Heartbreak Prescription: Bab 1161 - Bab 1170

When Ivy started to fall backward, the happiest person there was Kate. A slow smile curved across her lips as she waited for the show to start.If the baby were gone, that would solve everything.She wanted that child erased.Ivy's body tipped through the air, completely out of control. Instinct took over, and she wrapped both arms around her stomach. The baby!Out of nowhere, a strong arm shot forward and caught Ivy around the waist. Instead of hitting the floor, she landed in a steady, warm chest.She looked up, and Nathan's face filled her vision.Her mind went blank. She had no idea why he was here.Kate froze. She hadn't expected Nathan to show up, either."Ivy!" Madge came running over, breathless. "Ivy, are you okay? Mr. Lowe!"Nathan kept one arm around Ivy as he helped her stand. His voice dropped low. "Did you get hurt?"Ivy was still shaken. She pressed a hand to her stomach and slowly shook her head. "I'm fine.""Nate!" Kate called out, trying to steady her voi

Nathan froze. What? Massage Ivy's stomach?Yeah, no. That wasn't happening."Doctor, that's really not necessary," Ivy said quickly. "My husband's very busy."She started to sit up.Nathan stopped her. "It's fine. I'll learn."He placed his hand gently on her lower abdomen.Ivy flinched."What?" he asked. "Are my hands cold?"She shook her head. "No."They were warm. In the middle of winter, his touch felt like a heater. Cold was the last word she would use.She had flinched because it caught her off guard. She didn't expect the sudden contact, and in front of other people, no less."Good," the doctor said. "Just rest your hand there and move in slow circles clockwise. Keep it gentle."Nathan followed the instructions, his palm moving carefully. He looked down at her. "How's this? Does it hurt?"Ivy's small face turned pink. "No. It's fine.""You can also talk to the baby at night," the doctor added. "Lean close to her stomach and let the baby hear your voice. When the

Nathan said he wouldn't agree to a divorce.Ivy froze. She had been sure he couldn't wait to end this. She had imagined him dragging her straight to the courthouse to file the papers.Instead, he said no."Why?" she asked, her voice tight. "Do you want me to get rid of the baby?"Nathan's jaw clenched. "Listen carefully. I might not have planned on being a dad, but the baby's already here. That's my child, and I want it."Her mind went blank. "You want to fight me for custody?""Yes. I want the baby."She had always thought he didn't care about kids. She never expected this."No. That's not happening. I'm not giving you this baby.""Why not?""Because this baby is mine. I'm the one carrying the baby. Of course I won't give it." Her voice shook now. "You can remarry. There are plenty of women out there who'd love to have your kids. But I only get this one."Nathan grabbed her chin lightly, forcing her to look at him. "What do you mean, you only get this one? After we divorce,

Really?All Ivy had to do was crook a finger, and Nathan would come running?Ivy wasn't nearly that optimistic.Still, since Nathan clearly didn't want a divorce, she decided she would take this marriage seriously and make it work."You can get back to work," she said."Alright."Madge left the office looking unusually cheerful.Ivy pulled out her design drafts and returned to work, focusing on refining the details of her latest project.Before long, the workday ended.Ivy left the studio and drove back to the villa.Wanda hurried out to greet her the moment she walked in. "Mrs. Lowe, how did the checkup go today?"Ivy smiled. "Everything's normal. The baby's healthy.""That's wonderful news! Dinner's ready. Come eat while it's hot."Ivy sat at the dining table while Wanda brought out a spread of comfort food."Did Mr. Lowe go with you to the appointment today?" Wanda asked.Ivy looked up at her. "Yes, he did. Honestly, you've misunderstood Nathan. He's actually been ver

Nathan said nothing and started toward the stairs.Wanda grabbed his sleeve again."Mr. Lowe, if you don't want to sleep in the study, you can use the guest bedroom. Which one would you prefer?"Nathan paused.Keith wasn't letting him off the hook, and neither was Wanda.He pressed his lips together. "I don't want the study, and I don't want the guest room. I'm choosing neither."Wanda eyed him suspiciously. "Then… Are you planning to sleep at the office?"Nathan went quiet for a moment, clearly speechless."I'm not sleeping in the study, not the guest room, and definitely not at the office. I'm sleeping in my own bedroom."Wanda blinked. "You mean with Mrs. Lowe?""We're married," Nathan replied calmly. "Can't I sleep with my wife?""Well, of course you can," Wanda said quickly. "But Mrs. Lowe is pregnant. During the first three months, you shouldn't touch her."Nathan exhaled. "I know. Do you think I'm some kind of animal?"Wanda laughed. "I trust you."Nathan finally h
