Chapter 219: 200、The Goddess is pregnant

What to do?

Upon hearing these words, Lina Miller’s originally absent-minded eyes were now completely lost. Yes, what should she do?

"I don’t know!"

She really didn’t know what to do under these circumstances. In front of Mario Jensen, she didn’t even dare to mention she had slept with him, let alone that she was pregnant with his child. She had witnessed his feelings for Ivy Aretha all along and knew he wouldn’t easily let go. Neither did she ever expect that he would.

It was his undying affection that had deeply attracted her and gradually captured her heart.

But now... what should she do?

She didn’t know, as the chaotic feeling unwittingly occupied her chest.

Seeing Lina’s helpless expression, Ivy probably guessed something. When a woman gets pregnant, there are two possibilities: one is that she has been looking forward to it for a long time and would naturally be overjoyed when finding out; the other is that she never imagined it, and when it suddenly happens, she would feel overwhelmed and panicked, just like Lina’s reaction - obviously the latter!

If one suddenly becomes pregnant, even an ordinary woman would find it hard to accept, let alone her...

"You’re not planning on not having the baby, are you?"

Ivy couldn’t help but ask, because she had once worn the same helpless and panicked expression.

At her words, Lina didn’t respond but raised her head, looking at Ivy with a touch of astonishment in her eyes. She seemed surprised that Ivy would ask such a question, given she also has a child!

"I don’t mean to interfere with your decision!"

Ivy quickly explained, afraid that she would be misunderstood. "It’s just that I had a similar experience too. When I first found out I was pregnant, my first reaction was that the sky had fallen, and my second thought was that I couldn’t have the baby. But then, after giving birth to her, I was glad I hadn’t been selfish enough not to have her. I realized that no matter who the child’s father was, I was the child’s mother, and I had the responsibility and duty to let her live a good life!"

Lina didn’t say anything, but her previously absent-minded gaze fell on Ivy’s calm face, gradually becoming more focused and soft, as if to tell herself that the child was innocent and had every right to be born. She didn’t say it directly, but she understood!

"Thank you, Ivy, I understand now!"

Lina stared at Ivy, a faint smile of sincere gratitude crossing her pale face. "Don’t worry, I won’t give up on her. The child is innocent, and it’s my mistake. The one to be punished shouldn’t be the child. If I dare to make such a mistake, I must bear the consequences!"

For such matters, it wasn’t the child who was wrong. Although she was bewildered and afraid, Lina hadn’t thought of having an abortion - she just didn’t know what to do!

Since she had dared to sleep with Mario Jensen, she should be prepared to face the possible consequences!

Ivy nodded as she noticed Lina’s complexion slowly improving, becoming less pale, and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she asked: "Is there anything you need my help with?"

Based on her sharp intuition, the child was at least unwanted by the father, or something had happened between Lina and the child’s father!

But that was beyond her control!

"Ivy, can you..." Lina looked at her hesitantly, finally asking, "Can you help me keep this a secret? After all..." If she needed proper prenatal care, it wouldn’t be suitable for anyone to know this matter.

"Alright, no problem. Your current identity can’t be exposed. The media alone would cause enough trouble for you!" Ivy understood very well that for a woman like Lina, any scandal would become the headlines, let alone an unwed pregnancy!

Lina nodded her thanks, and as she was about to step out of the bathroom, Mario Jensen called again. His deep voice was still panting, "Where are you? I didn’t see you in the banquet hall of Allure International?"

"You’re already here?"

She had not expected him to move so quickly. So soon after the phone call just now, he was already here?

From the sound of it, he seemed to have been looking for her in the same place. Was it because they had done something sneaky and discovered evidence that her heart was pounding when she heard Mario Jensen’s voice, and she nervously said, "I’m in the bathroom; I’ll be right out!"

Ivy watched as Lina quickly hung up the phone, looking as if she was afraid he would discover something. The doubts in Ivy’s heart deepened - could the child be Mario Jensen’s?

Their relationship seemed to be good, but Mario Jensen had never admitted that they were romantically involved! He didn’t seem like the kind of man who would refuse responsibility for his actions!

Ivy wanted to ask but didn’t, after all, it was a matter of personal privacy. Besides, she and Lina hadn’t known each other intimately enough. If it had been Sienna Harrison, she would have asked long ago!

"Let’s hurry up and join him; he’s here to pick you up!"

Lina looked at her, nodded, her bitter smile fading into an unspoken understanding, as Ivy held her wrist and pushed open the bathroom door together. They didn’t expect that the sight outside would give them both a big scare...

They were sure that they were the only ones in the bathroom, and no one else was around or had noticed them. They didn’t hear any sounds, only to find that when they opened the door, the bathroom entrance was already crowded with people. All eyes were fixed on Lina...

Without any warning, a series of unanticipated questions bombarded them...

"We just heard you guys talking about pregnancy outside. Is Miss Lina pregnant?"

"The Goddess is pregnant, we want to know who the father is?"

"The Goddess is pregnant, does that mean you’re getting married? Will you quit the industry after that?"

Each question seemed well-prepared, hitting the nail on the head, without giving any breathing room or opportunity to react. Lina’s face, which had just regained color, was now turning pale again. Unnaturally, her eyes shifted to the distance as Ivy, standing closest to her, could clearly feel her fear and unease.

She was scared...

"Who told you that Miss Lina is pregnant?" Ivy took a big step forward to shield Lina, and asked, "Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for all of you to crowd around the women’s bathroom like this?"

"We are Miss Lina’s fans; we shouldn’t be wrong about showing concern for her!"

As Ivy’s words fell, someone jumped out of the crowd to stir up trouble. "Besides, pursuing our idol is our freedom. What’s wrong with that? And who are you? You’re too pretty to be an assistant, aren’t you?"
