"Are you really this happy after the divorce?" Gavin suddenly asked in his deep voice.


    I couldn''t help but turn around and look at him. I happened to meet his gaze, only to see a hint of anguish sh in his eyes for the most fleeting moment.


    I frowned slightly. Just as I was about to take a closer look, Gavin had averted his gaze. "You''re going to regret it, Grace."


    Then, Gavin got into his car and drove away swiftly. I watched as he drove off into the distance, wondering what made him so sure of what he had just said. This wasn''t the first time he had said it either.


    Gavin also imed that I would regret it when he agreed to divorce me. At the end of the day, however, he was the only one who regretted it.


    I couldn''t help but take a deep breath. There had always been a weight on my shoulders, and it was finally lifted off now. I would be freed from the shackles of this marriage after the 30-day cooling-off period.


    "Hurry up and show me the divorce certificate, Gracie." Dawn looked very excited. Obviously, she couldn''t wait to see it.


    I frowned slightly when Dawn brought it up. "There''s something called a divorce cooling-off period, and itsts 30 days. I can only get the divorce certificate after a month."


    "What the heck is that?" Dawn couldn''t help but feel stunned. "What kind of rule is that?"


    "It''s aw that just recently passed."


    Dawn said in a worried tone, "So, it''ll take longer for you to get the divorce


    certificate, right? Is it possible things might change during the cooling-off period?"


    I shook my head. "If either party wants to revoke the divorce, it can be done within the 30-day period. Once that happens, the divorce will be undone."


    "Huh?" Dawn was very shocked. She even found it to be ridiculous. "Hearing this has made me think twice about getting married. Seriously? It just takes a minute to get married, but we have to wait a month to get divorced?"


    Dawn pouted. "So, you''d better start praying that Gavin doesn''t change his mind halfway through the cooling-off period."


    I couldn''t help but purse my lips. Actually, this was what worried me the most as well. With that said, Mandy was pregnant, and Gavin had no idea that the baby wasn''t his. So, I was sure that he wanted to get divorced more than I did.


    After all, the baby in Mandy''s belly couldn''t afford to wait any longer.


    "I don''t think that''s going to happen." I raised my head and looked at Dawn. "After all, Mandy is pregnant with ''his baby.""


    "That''s right!" Dawn''s eyes couldn''t help but sparkle. She took wicked pleasure in Gavin''s misfortune. "Even if they want to do a paternity test, they''d have to wait until Mandy gives birth to the baby."


    I nodded and lowered my gaze, staring at my slightly bulging belly. "I need you to go to the hospital with me, Dawn. I''m going to have an abortion."


    It was time for me topletely sever my tie with Gavin.


    Before long, Dawn drove me to Starlight Hospital. After I got my number, I queued up and waited for my turn.


    Meanwhile, Dawn kept holding my hand while sitting next to me. I could feel her palm getting sweaty. I couldn''t help but feel amused. It felt like she was even more nervous than I was.


    Shortly after, it was my turn. I opened the door, only to see the same doctor there. I was here for an abortion. So, I had to go through a series of check-ups first. Afterward, I held a stack of reports and went back to the outpatient department. "ording to the data, you''re doing worse than thest time you were here, Ms. Summers." The doctor frowned. "The embryo has attached itself to the lining of your uterus. If we forcibly remove it, the risk will be great."


    My heart leaped to my throat. "Is it going to make me infertile for the rest of my life?"


    The doctor nodded. "There''s a great chance you won''t be able to have another baby."
