However, fearing the threat of coronavirus, Whitney decided it would be best if Chase continued to stay where he was. Despite this, Chase insisted he comes and meets Whitney as he wanted to deliver the news in person. Hearing this, Whitney had an idea that it was going to be something bad, and she decided to hear the news on phone. Chase broke the news about him becoming a father and that broke Whitney.

The reality star revealed she ended up having a panic attack and called for an ambulance to be taken to the hospital.
