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 . ww . 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 . ] 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 . ] And this was how he and Jenna were screwing over his so - called good buddy ! ] On the other end , Marcus was still asking , " What's wrong ? " The words were on the tip of my tongue Buy 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 : Cupter 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 ?
