No need for thanks.” Cole noticed her fingertips were white from gripping the paper. He added, “I am a doctor irst. Maintaining patient confidentiality is the basic ethic of my profession. Being Mr. Hale’s friend comes

second.”

He was a smart man. He had likely figured out during the last encounter that Mia was trying to transfer her files, and he certainly suspected that Ethan knew nothing about the pregnancy.

Thank you, Dr. Preston.”

You’re welcome. It’s my job.” Cole offered a small smile.

Mia went downstairs for the tests. After waiting about two hours, the results came back, and she returned to Cole’s office with the report.

The baby’s chromosomes show some issues. If we don’t rule out the problem with further testing, the child could be born with cerebral palsy or Down syndrome…”

Cole saw her face go pale, inch by inch, until it was as white as a sheet of paper.

He softened his tone. “Like I said, these are just preliminary results. Nothing is certain until the follow-up tests are done.”

‘Down syndrome. Cerebral palsy.”

Those words made Mia’s heart turn cold. She didn’t even know how she managed to walk out of Cole’s office.

Watching her despondent figure disappear, Cole pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

‘Hey, Ethan. Come to the hospital…”

By the time Mia snapped out of her daze, Nina Torres was already standing in front of her.

“You dummy, what are you afraid of?” Nina sat down and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. “When I was doing my checkups, I saw plenty of people get red flags only to have perfectly healthy babies. It’ll be fine!”
