Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 580

Xavier immediately leaned in. "I'm not Alaric. He's not here. I didn't know what was going on between you two, so I didn't notify him."

Hearing this, Ivy blinked hard, willing her vision to clear.

When she finally recognized Xavier, she was thoroughly surprised.

"Xavier, what are you doing here?"

Xavier let out a heavy, utterly helpless sigh.

"If I hadn't come, you wouldn't have survived."

"Do you have any idea that your baby came early, caused a massive hemorrhage, and you nearly died on that operating table?"

If she didn't look so incredibly fragile, barely able to speak, he would have loved to scold her even more.

Keeping her pregnancy a secret was one thing, but planning to give birth and raise a child entirely alone?

Did she think she was invincible?

There was no way he was going to keep this from Alaric.

But before he made that call, he needed to understand exactly what had ruptured between them.

Ivy quickly deduced that Toby must have been the one to contact Xavier.

After all, Xavier had visited Toby before, and Toby had even looked after him for a few days. It made perfect sense that they had each other's numbers.

Not wanting to worry Xavier any further, Ivy forced a bitter, weak smile.

"I'm fine now, aren't I?"

The thought of her baby suddenly hitting her, she glanced around frantically. Not seeing her anywhere, she asked in a panic,

"Where's my baby?"

"You call this fine? The doctors issued multiple critical notices last night. Toby's legs were shaking so badly while signing them that he nearly passed out himself."

Xavier still felt Ivy's reckless actions were completely unacceptable and continued his frustrated reprimand.

"How could you leave something this dangerous solely in Toby's hands? If the worst had happened, how was a kid his age supposed to handle the fallout?"

Ivy fell silent.

She lay there, quietly taking his scolding.

She had undeniably been foolish, and she had terrified Toby.

But who else could she rely on?
