THE NOMINAL WIFE

Raine Manlapas Romance

Ivy had regained consciousness when she was already in one of the private hospital rooms in the psychiatry department of STU Hospital

Iryn asked her sister calmly, “Who is the father of the baby you are carrying, Ivy? Is it your Shawn Duque? You have to tell me so I can help you."

Ivy responded, “I don’t want this baby, Ate. You should have just let me and the baby die.”

Iryn said, “Do not talk nonsense, Ivy. You still have a long life ahead of you. You cannot correct a mistake with another mistake. So please tell me who is the father of the baby you are carrying.”

Ivy turned on the TV at her hospital room to evade her sister’s interrogation. But as she turned on the TV, she saw the TV coverage of the wedding on the man she had slept with. Vittorio Lauchengco was marrying the beauty queen turned famous social media, TV and film personality, Alexa Hofmann, and so she decided to tell her sister, “He could be the father of the baby I am carrying. Another possibility is Shawn whom I recently broke up with when I discovered that he was cheating on me a month ago.”

Iryn was so shocked with what her sister just said. After sometime she decided to come out of her hospital room first to breathe in some fresh air. But on her way out to the corridor of the hospital floor. She saw a child unknowingly running across an incoming cleaning trolley full of stuffs. She rushed to save the boy. Good thing she was able to make it in time with her and the boy falling down on the floor with minimum pain, with the boy securely on top of her as she enclosed her arms around his body and head.

The hospital employees and a man who was running after the boy then approached them. She knew the man, Voltaire Lauchengco.

She then heard the familiar voice of one of the child psychiatrists she knew saying, “She is the child psychologist I am talking about, Mr. Lauchengco.”
