The prenatal checkup went smoothly; everything, looked normal.

The gestational age should be ten weeks and three days. Since it's the first checkup, we need to process the

"Sonya, don't you see Seraphina needs me? Can't you just give us hand?"

"If I give a hand to every patient, I'd spend my day running errands."

Julian's brow furrowed. "You..."

""Next one!"

Before Julian could respond, Seraphina stopped him.

"Sonya, don't worry. | won't be a burden to Julian, so please don't be mad at me."

Sonya looked at Seraphina. For fifteen years, she'd been Julian's friend, keeping him at arm's length and pulling

him back when he tried to move on. She knew Julian had a girlfriend, yet she readily accepted his affections and

devotion, telling everyone they were just friends.

Sonya responded flatly, "He's your fiancé. Isn't it normal for you to ask for his help? Why would | be mad?

"Is it because of me? Did you two have a fight?"

"We didn't fight. We broke up."

"Sonya, you've misunderstood Julian. He was just trying to help me."

Sonya raised her hand to stop Seraphina. "You're not that important. We didn't break. up of you."

"Sonya, how dare you talk to Seraphina like that! Apologize to her!" Julian shouted.

Sonya, who had been putting up with this, finally snapped.

"Get out!"

Because of the "unprofessional' attitude, Sonya was reported. Julian made the complaint call right in front of her.

As soon as they left, she was summoned to the director's office.

"You know this hospital belongs to Jennings Medical Group, right?"

hanya Sony remained silent, of course, she knew that

And the two people you just saw were Seraphins West, an A-list actress, and Julian Jennings, the heir to the

Jennings empire, the director said, hoping she'd realize the gravity of her mistake "So?" Sonya asked, hands in

her pockets.

The director slammed his fist on the desk Sonys, letask you one question: Do you will want

to work here?

If you're firingonly because | said no to Mr. Jennings unreasonable request, | believe | am entitled to dispute

it through proper channels!

"You... you're so young. He's Julian Jennings, and you're just a small-tdoctor. You can't afford to offend him?"

"My patients are waiting for me. Director, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna get back to work" "You.... you're so

stubborn!" Seeing her about to leave, the director called out, "One more thing Miss West trusts you, but she's not

comfortable coming to the hospital. You'll be her primary physician and provide hvisits."

"I refuse!"

You have no choice!"

Back in her office, Sonya's emotions raged. She couldn't understand why Julian treated her this

way.

For eight years, she had loved him wholeheartedly. Did her love make her deserving of his abuse?

Here's the paperwork."

Julian and Seraphina returned, showing no remorse whatsoever. That was really surprising. Sonya gave a wry

smile, calmly accepting the forms and entering the information into the computer.

The instructions for pregnant women are in the booklet. Please read it carefully. I'll note the next checkup date in

here; remember to cback. She wrote the date in the booklet. "Seraphina's busy, and so am I. You need to

remindto bring her in, Julian said.

Sonya paused, writing. "Sorry, I'm probably busier than both of you, and | don't like to keep track of other

people's schedules."

"Seraphina's matters are my matters. My matters are your matters. Just do it, end of discussion."

"Julian," Sonya looked up at him. Her emotions were intense, yet suddenly subdued. "I'm saying it again: we've

broken up. | don't want to say anything more. You can keep reporting me, but I treat all patients equally in

accordance with hospital regulations." Julian's lips tightened. For a moment, he seemed to see a certain

determination in Sonya. I'll remember that." Seraphina took Julian's hand, then, with a seemingly generous

gesture, she added, "Sonya, I'll need your help in the coming weeks." "No problem, it's my job."

"We won't disturb you any longer."

"Goodbye."

Just as they stood up, several paparazzi burst in. Their phones were pointed at Seraphina and
