His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208

The nurse hesitated. “Since the director has just returned from abroad, many people are coming specifically to see him. If you transfer your files now, he’ll give you priority for your next visit. It’ll help you avoid the issue of not being able to book an appointment later.”

Northbrook General was one of the top hospitals in the country; getting an appointment with any doctor there was like winning the lottery.

The first time Mia had gone to the OB-GYN, she had to buy a slot from a scalper. It had only gotten easier once she was in the system.

Alright then, please schedule the transfer for me. Just let me know when I should come in.”

If you’re free tomorrow morning, you can come by. Dr. Preston has specifically set aside time tomorrow to handle the file transfers.”

Tomorrow was Wednesday. There were no meetings scheduled for the morning, and the project with Riverside Corporation was finally on track. She could afford to take leave.

Mia agreed. Before leaving work, she went upstairs to Ethan’s office to request the time off.

She knocked on the door.

A muffled “Come in” sounded from the man inside.

Mia pushed the door open, only to see Ethan standing by the window on a call.

His white shirt sleeves were rolled up, one hand was in his pocket, and the veins on his well-defined forearms tood out clearly.

He glanced back at her and signaled for her to wait.

Mia stood in the center of the office.

Since you’re back, we should definitely meet. I’ll set something up tomorrow night to welcome you home,” Ethan aid into the phone. “I’ll stop by to see you tomorrow morning first, and we’ll grab dinner later.”

Ethan walked back to his desk and checked his digital itinerary on his computer. There were no meetings cheduled for tomorrow morning; he could get away.

He hung up and looked at Mia. “What is it?”

Mr. Hale, I have something to take care of tomorrow morning. I’d like to request a half-day of leave.”

As soon as Mia finished, she felt the temperature in Ethan’s gaze drop several degrees.

Ethan’s lips moved slightly. He wanted to ask if she was going to see lan Reed.

But the words stayed lodged in his throat like a thorn, impossible to speak.

After a long silence, his Adam’s apple bobbed as he uttered two words. “Fine. Granted.”

Mia turned and walked out.

The office fell silent. The joy of his friend returning from abroad vanished completely. An inexplicable irritability

urged within him, and he gave his tie a frustrated tug.

His phone buzzed again. He picked it up and checked the message.

I have a surprise for you tomorrow morning.]

Ethan set the phone back down without replying.

At 8:00 AM, Mia set off for the hospital.

There was heavy traffic on the way. A thirty-minute drive took over an hour.

Her appointment with the doctor was for 9:00 AM, meaning she was nearly half an hour late.

Ms. Carter, Dr. Preston is in his office, but he’s currently busy with someone. You can wait over there.”

Cole Preston wasn’t working; a friend had dropped by. Normally, seeing friends during work hours was a no-go. But Cole’s expertise was so undeniable that the hospital gave him leeway. The nurse took it upon herself to ask

Mia to wait.

Alright. Mia went to wait by the office door.

She was the one who was late, after all, so it was only fair that she waited.

Through the door, she could vaguely hear the sound of two men talking. Every now and then, a low chuckle Irifted out.

After some time, she heard the screech of a chair being pushed back, followed by approaching footsteps.

The office door swung open.

Two tall figures walked out.

Mia stood up and looked over. The moment she met Ethan Hale’s familiar face, she froze completely.

Ethan’s cold expression was unusually relaxed, carrying a trace of a smile.

When he saw her, his brow furrowed, and the curve of his lips slowly flattened.

You head back first. I have a patient,” Cole Preston said, patting Ethan’s shoulder before turning his attention to Mia. “You’re here to transfer your prenatal checkup files, right?”
