NovelOnlineWhen Ivanna saw Lauren's dark expression, she nudged her shoulder and said, "Alright, don't be mad anymore. I didn't do anything, and I still have the baby." With that sentence, Ivanna silenced Laurenpletely.
Lauren looked at us, her mouth agape in shock. Then she asked me, "Is that true?" I nodded solemnly. "She didn't go through with it. When she got on the operating table, she regretted it and called it off." Lauren was puzzled and asked me, "Didn't you go to the hospital to ask about this?" "I asked the medical assistant, but she didn't explain things clearly. She just said a patient named Ivanna hade in for an abortion and was done with it. I thought she had done it and had gone back, but the reality is... well, you can see what happened," I explained and chuckled.
Lauren collapsed onto the sofa, looking utterly dejected. She lay there staring at the ceiling, seemingly without hope. After a while, she said, "Let's make sfood. I haven't eaten all day. Every tI open my eyes, I start looking for her. If this goes on, my blood pressure will skyrocket. Living with you is like being on a roller coaster.

You're just too stubborn. Thankfully, you stopped yourself before doing something foolish. Otherwise, I would have... sigh." As Lauren spoke, tears nearly fell from her eyes.
"I really regret what I did." Ivanna looked at her belly and then at us.
We were both speechless. What could we say? We were all best friends.
"Let's go to Fisherman's Wharf." I suggested.
Ivanna said, "I want to eat at home. It's morefortable that way." Lauren quickly added, "Go and change, then. We'll go to the seafood market, and we'll have a seafood feast tonight." As soon as Lauren softened her stance, Ivanna immediately smiled with teary eyes. "I'll go get changed." She went upstairs.

Lauren looked atand asked, "What's wrong? Don't we need to go buy the seafood ourselves?" "Atlas said he would send someone to buy it and get it delivered to us Let's go to the supermarket and get sfresh fruits and vegetables," I suggested. Lauren sighed. "He's the only man you can rely on.' I knew she was talking about Atlas and implying that Jared wasn't dependable.

Ivanna laughed and said, "Looks like he found another reason to get a free meal." I snorted disdainfully, "We're dealing with something serious here. We were really scared. What do you mean, a free meal? He's going to buy the seafood." She quickly stuck out her tongue.
