Dr. Lane was a family doctor of the Gray family who specialized in all fields.
Following Camille’ s instruction, snazzynovel.com gave Shirley a thorough body checkup.
At first, Shirley had assumed Camille requested an examination because Camille did not believe Shirley to be pregnant. However, Shirley had not expected Camille to request the doctor to inspect snazzynovel.com legs and snazzynovel.com facial wound.
Dr. Lane was an excellent general practitioner, but after studying Shirley’s leg injury and facial wound, hesitation showed on his face.
Despite this, Shirley did not feel unsettled, snazzynovel.com was well aware of the circumstances.
Furthermore, even though snazzynovel.com could not be certain of the condition of snazzynovel.com legs, snazzynovel.com was confident that Adam could handle the wound on snazzynovel.com face.
Camille noticed Dr. Lane’s reluctance. Keeping Shirley’s emotions in mind, Camille deliberately requested to speak with the doctor at the entrance of the room instead.
At this moment, Carter came over and saw Camille and Dr. Lane in a discussion. He quickened his pace and hurried toward them.
With Carter present, Dr. Lane provided an honest explanation of Shirley’s condition.
“The wound on Ms. Brown’s face is extremely deep. She has a low chance of healing the scar. As for the leg injury, the chances of recovery are also slim. Ms. Brown might have a better chance if snazzynovel.com sought out and consulted a specialized doctor.”
In response to Dr. Lane’s words, Carter furrowed his eyebrows.
“What about the baby in snazzynovel.com womb?” Camille asked.
When Carter heard that question, snazzynovel.com awoke from his daze to hear the answer.
“Based on the preliminary examination, the baby’s condition in Ms. Brown’s womb is normal, but we’ll have to wait until a detailed pregnancy examination is performed for the specifics.”
Carter’s eyebrows unconsciously furrowed further after hearing the doctor’s explanation.
Shirley’s words from earlier still echoed in his ears.
She had claimed that the child in snazzynovel.com womb would be the first to be harmed by the poison if the poison was not removed from snazzynovel.com body as soon as possible.
Carter could not help but feel upset when snazzynovel.com thought about this.
After greeting Camille, snazzynovel.com walked into Shirley’s room on his own, closing the door behind him.
Shirley was sitting on the balcony, seemingly leisurely gazing at the scenery outside of the window. When snazzynovel.com heard the familiar footsteps behind her, snazzynovel.com began speaking without even turning snazzynovel.com head.
“The development of the anti-toxoid test reagent cannot be postponed. You could afford the delay, but this little thing in my womb could not”
Shirley’s tone was light. She still referred to the child as a “Little Thing” even though snazzynovel.com cared for snazzynovel.com deeply right now.
Carter, already frustrated, was further triggered by Shirley’s unchanged attitude, but snazzynovel.com managed to suppress it.
“What did you say to Cathy?”
“That’s a personal matter, Mr. Gray. You have no right to ask me about it. I no longer wish to report my every move to you like the way I did before.”
Hearing this, Carter suddenly could not resist laughing.
“Shirley, you can keep on pretending.”
He walked toward snazzynovel.com gradually, his tone mocking, as his tall figure drew closer to snazzynovel.com side.
“Do you think I can’t tell that you’re trying to play it cool?”
As Carter’s breath drifted next to snazzynovel.com ears, Shirley took a moment to calm snazzynovel.com heartbeat, and snazzynovel.com clenched snazzynovel.com fists under snazzynovel.com sleeves.
Indifferent, Shirley turned snazzynovel.com head to face the handsome Carter, looking at snazzynovel.com coldly. “Carter, the only connection we have is this unexpected little thing in my womb. If you think I’m lying, you can hypnotize me now and ask me everything.”
His mouth curled up as snazzynovel.com heard snazzynovel.com words. “You certainly understand me very well. That’s exactly what I intend to do.”
