CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1742

Karina had never seen that particular look in Wilfred's eyes before.

The emotions were subtle, hidden beneath the surface, almost imperceptible unless one paid close attention.

Having spent so much time by his side recently, she had grown adept at reading his subtle expressions.

“Sorry, Dr. Wilfred, have I caused trouble for you again?” she asked hesitantly, her guilt written all over her face.

Wilfred lifted his gaze, ready to deliver a prepared response. Yet, faced with her earnest eyes, his words faltered, and what he finally said was, “From now on, you don’t need to call me ‘Dr. Wilfred’ every time.”

“Then what should I call you? Mr. Wilfred?” she asked tentatively.

“Just my name.”

Wilfred’s voice was calm as he used his knife and fork to cut into his steak. His dark lashes framed eyes that seemed to glimmer with depth, as if they held secrets untold.

Despite his cool demeanor, Karina felt a small surge of satisfaction and smiled.

“Alright. At the hospital, I’ll call you Dr. Wilfred, but in private, I’ll call you Wilfred,” she said with a slight grin.

When she uttered his name, Wilfred’s hand paused ever so slightly before he resumed cutting. His reply was soft. “As you wish.”

For Karina, that dinner was one of the happiest moments she had experienced in recent days. The shadows of worry and schemes seemed to dissipate, leaving her feeling lighthearted and determined as she held the patient files Wilfred had assigned to her.

However, within the hospital, murmurs began to spread. At first, it was just whispers about favoritism, but as time passed, the gossip became more malicious.

During work hours, she overheard a group of nurses whispering.

“With a background like hers, how did Karina even get into this hospital? This isn’t some shabby clinic. It’s the top hospital in the city!”

“Exactly. I’ve been saying she got in through connections. Look at how close she is to Dr. Wilfred. Who knows what underhanded tricks she used?”
