Chapter 1160
The next second, Ivy saw a familiar face.
It wasn’t Madge at all.
It was Kate. Her lingering, impossible–to–shake half–sister.
Kate looked at Ivy with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “Why are you at the hospital?”
“Shouldn’t I be asking you that?” Ivy shot back coolly. “What are you doing here?”
“My friend twisted her ankle, so I came with her,” Kate said smoothly. “I didn’t expect to run into you here. Are you here for a prenatal checkup?”
Ivy didn’t believe in coincidences. There was no way this was random. Kate had clearly followed her to the hospital.
Ivy let out a cold laugh. “I’m here for a prenatal checkup. Do I need to report that to you?”
“Of course not,” Kate said quickly, then glanced around. “But… Did you come alone? Where’s Nate? I don’t see him anywhere.”
Kate had tracked Ivy down on purpose.
She still didn’t know whether Nathan had overheard her conversation with Ivy. She also didn’t know if Nathan and Ivy had already fallen out. She needed confirmation.
If Nathan really had broken things off with Ivy, then it was time for her to strike back.
Ivy knew exactly what Kate was thinking. She stood up slowly.
“You’re awfully comfortable calling him Nate. Funny how you still remember he’s your brother–in–law. With how worked up you are, anyone would think you’re trying to claim him for yourself.
“Then again, your mother spent years wrecking other people’s marriages. If she raised a smaller version of herself, that’s hardly shocking.
“Like mother, like daughter. You both seem to enjoy tearing families apart and taking what belongs to someone else.”
Kate clenched her fists.
She did want Nathan. She wanted to take him. And she didn’t feel ashamed at all.
She really hated Ivy.
Why did all the good men in the world end up with Ivy and Tabitha? Didn’t she and Noelle deserve to marry well, too?
Kate forced her anger down. This wasn’t the time to explode. Right now, she had to find out whether Ivy and Nathan were truly done.
“Ivy, are you saying all this because you feel embarrassed?” Kate sneered.

“Why would I be embarrassed?” Ivy retorted.
“Because you came to the hospital alone, and Nate didn’t come with you.”
Even if things were cracking between her and Nathan, Ivy wasn’t about to let Kate see it. Even if she and Nathan divorced, that news would never be made public within a year.
Ivy smiled coldly. “Sorry to disappoint you, but I didn’t come alone today. Nathan came with me.”
“Then where is he?” Kate demanded.
“Why should I tell you where he is?” Ivy replied flatly. “Worry about your own life.”
With that, she turned and started to walk away.
“No, don’t go!” Kate reached out and grabbed her arm.
Ivy’s face darkened. “Who said you could touch me? Let go.”
“You said Nate’s in the hospital,” Kate said tightly. “I just want to see him. Is that not allowed?”
“It’s not. Now let go.”
Ivy struggled, but Kate tightened her grip.
“Stop struggling. You’re pregnant. If something happens, I won’t be responsible.”
As Kate spoke, a vicious thought flashed through her mind. Nathan wasn’t here, anyway.
Why not take care of the problem right now? Why not get rid of the child in Ivy’s belly while she had the chance?
Kate shoved Ivy hard.
“Aaaah!”
Ivy fell backward,
