The private room was silent.After a moment of silence, Millie grew anxious."I knew it! You were unhappy when you heard I was pregnant, wanted to divorce me, and it turns out you have a child with someone else—and you even used being sick to trick me into tears!"Gilbert was rendered speechless.He looked down at the little girl lying on his lap, her big, round black eyes staring up at him.The more he looked, the more familiar she seemed.He glanced at Carter.Sure enough, she looked very similar to Carter."Not mine," said Carter.Gilbert understood. "She’s your brother’s."Which meant she was Tanner’s daughter."Go find your mom."The little girl immediately hugged Millie, saying, "Mom!"Millie was sat a loss for words, then she realized something and sat down in her chair, looking toward Tanner."Your daughter?"Tanner nodded.The little girl ran to find her biological mother."Mom."Tanner took her to a chair nearby and poured her some juice.The food hadn’t be
Caleb thought of something, "Could it be that during the his missions, those things...?"Tanner said, "There’s a high possibility. I felt his pulse, there were some toxins in his blood. We’re still waiting on a few blood test reports.""But we don’t know what caused it. Can you look into the things used in that operation?"Those materials were all confidential. Even though the situation was special now, they still couldn’t get access to them.Besides, Gilbert’s profession meant he was always prepared to sacrifice at any time."If that was allowed, Gilbert would have already done that himself. He has a child now. He’s the one who doesn’t want to leave the most."Tanner understood as well. "That makes things a bit troublesome. When the reports come out, I’ll try thinking of something else."Right after she finished speaking, Carter’s assistant delivered the final batch of reports."Dr. Greyson."He would hand each of the reports he had read to Tanner."No substances were detect
Tanner gave Millie another pill and told her to go rest.Millie refused to do so."You’ve been on a plane for a long time, you can’t overexert yourself. Your pulse is very weak."Caleb helped Millie to the ward to rest. "Don’t you trust me? I took all the pressure, even risked being beaten by my cousin, just to let you know."Millie said, "You’re not allowed to hide anything from me. I want to know the results.""Okay," Caleb agreed. "You get some rest first. When you wake up, I’ll tell you."Millie was very tired, holding on by a tight string.Hearing Caleb’s promise, she soon fell asleep."Sorry for the trouble, Dr. Mayes."Tanner nodded. "It’s my job.""When your wife comes to see you, it will be a good time for a follow-up."Caleb responded with a hum and went to find Gilbert.He was undergoing an examination."Mr. Greyson, give me some reassurance."Carter replied, "The tests are still ongoing."Caleb was silent for a moment. "If you cure my cousin, I can help with
Gilbert had a private ward, and Millie walked straight toward it.She was pregnant, carrying the bloodline of the Hilton family, so the nurses could only stop her with words but dared not touch her.Soon, Millie arrived."Millie, why are you here?" Dianne’s eyes were red, obviously from crying.She had come out to pack Gilbert’s things.Taking advantage of Millie being at Caleb’s place."Caleb..." Stephanie sounded a little reproachful. "We agreed you’d stay with him tonight.""I think Millie has the right to know."Caleb, on the way over, had also come to understand.If Millie was not informed, she would resent everyone later.That would not be good for her.Because the more open-minded she seemed, the more likely she was to get stuck in a dead end emotionally.Millie pushed the door open and went inside.The Hilton family was all there.It was so late, but Joshua and Lia had not gone to rest yet.Gilbert sat on the hospital bed, his thin lips somewhat pale.His face,
"You’re upset right now, don’t make any decisions lightly."With Georgina’s reminder, Janine quickly said, "Yes, she’s right. I was being too desperate right now."Millie shook her head. "I’m very clear-headed.""I’ll handle this matter for you."Janine scratched her head. "You should rest well first. I can get Caleb to help anyway.""I just don’t understand why Gilbert suddenly became like this. Has something happened?"Georgina privately messaged Janine. "You have really bad judgement."Janine quickly sent an apologetic emoji.Millie had already heard it all.Even if Janine said that she was talking nonsense, she no longer believed it.And she felt it was very sudden.Gilbert had never hidden anything from her and wouldn’t want her to be upset.This time was indeed very strange."I’m hanging up." Millie ended the video call and told Whitney to go to bed.Whitney was a little worried. "I’ll stay with you tonight.""No need." Millie pushed her out. "I want to be alone fo
Whitney stayed with Millie in the guestroom.Georgina and the others asked about the situation, and Millie directly explained everything on a group video call.Whitney’s phone vibrated. She thought it was a message from Caleb, but it was from the group chat.Jane said she had planned to come visit her, but Jordan was pregnant, so she had to wait a bit longer before going.She invited her to come to Jeswood when she had time to hang out.Whitney replied, "Millie is pregnant, it’s a bit complicated, can’t leave now."‘Why does everyone become pregnant in spring?’Jane was a bit nosy, but Whitney didn’t want to reveal others’ privacy, so she apologized.Jane stopped asking and said to let her know if she needed any help.Whitney sent a thank you.She saw Millie was still on the video call and said she went to the bathroom."I’m on my period."Millie urged her to hurry.Whitney went to the master bedroom and saw Caleb smoking on the balcony."What’s really going on?"Caleb s
