He stared at her like he was memorizing every detail of her face, trying to hold onto her in his heart. "Are you okay?" he asked softly, voice laced with concern.
Linsey curled her fingertips into her palm, digging in just enough to keep herself grounded. Her emotions were too close to the surface.
"I'm fine," she replied in a calm tone. She glanced at her hand, still wrapped in layers of white bandages. "My hand should heal in a few days." She couldn't let him know her pregnancy, not when he had just agreed to let go. If Collin found out, he would never walk away.
Collin's eyes stayed locked on her, as if he were trying to take in enough of her in this single moment to last a lifetime.

"What was the surprise you had planned foryesterday?" he asked, his voice low and a little rough.
Linsey stiffened. Her heart jumped. She quickly turned away, raising her hand to her face to cover the tears already gathering.
She shook her head, unable to speak. The words were caught somewhere between her throat and her heart. Seeing her reaction, Collin gave a faint, heartbroken smile. "Right... We're getting divorced. I guess I don't get to receive surprises from you anymore." Linsey bit down hard on her lip. A warm tear slipped down her cheek, then another followed.
Collin turned slowly and placed his hand on the door.
He hesitated, then glanced back one last time, his voice soft and filled with sorrow. "I'm sorry, Linsey. Take care of yourself. I'll be going now." He opened the door. Just before stepping out, he whispered under his breath, "Baby, don't cry." The door clicked shut gently behind him, but the sound echoed like thunder in Linsey's heart.
The quiet after he left was too much to bear. Her knees buckled, and she crouched on the floor, arms wrapped tightly around her legs. She buried her face and let the pain pour out in choked, helpless sobs.
She didn't know how long she cried. The minutes blurred. Then, a voice cut through the haze-sharp, anxious, 0.0% Chapter 613 Baby, Don't Cry full of panic.
"Linsey! Linsey, wake up! Open your eyes-please!" Her brows furrowed. Her head pounded.

Then, his expression shifted, his brow creased with worry. "How do you feel?" Linsey blinked and looked around. She realized she was lying in a hospital bed. "What happened to me?" Gorman's gaze stayed on her, unreadable. "When I cin, you had already passed out. You were lying on the floor." He paused for a beat, then added gently, "Your face was covered in tears." Linsey's heart sank. She hadn't even realized she had cried that much, to the point of fainting.
She reached for her head, which still throbbed faintly. "Did I sleep for long?" She didn't explain what had happened, and Gorman didn't press. He could sense the pain she was keeping to herself.
"It's been about an hour," he replied. Then he picked up a cup of water and handed it to her. "Here. Drink some."
Linsey took the cup with both hands.
"Thank you..." she murmured, her a m voice weak. She took a few slow sips. NO But even as the water cooled her throat, Collin's voice still echoed in her mind.
Her chest tightened again. She blinked hard to hold back the tears. "The checkoup this afternoon..." she started, her voice hoarse.
Gorman noticed the sorrow in her tone but didn't show his thoughts. He smiled gently and said, "If you're not feeling up to it, we can move it to another day." 1000
