Cole’s end was noisy with the sounds of a busy clinic. “Ethan already messaged me. He only told me to prepare a eport for him. He didn’t mention anything else.”
Chloe’s heart skipped a beat. “What do you mean?”
Going through the motions” usually meant doing every test but falsifying the results afterward. But if Ethan only isked Cole for the report, was he planning to have someone else perform the actual exams?
It means exactly what I said. I have patients. Goodbye.” Cole was brief and hung up immediately.
Chloe felt a chill run down her spine. She sensed Ethan had an ulterior motive. She felt a shiver that was more >one-chilling than the depths of winter.
Cole, did you say something to Ethan!?” she muttered to the dead line.
To the hospital!” Chloe ordered her driver.
The tar performed a U-turn and headed straight for Northbrook General Hospital.
Nina finished her checkup and brought her results to Cole.
Ms. Torres, you’re recovering very well.” Cole glanced at the results and handed them back. “For your next ollow-up, please wear a mask and follow the standard registration process. Don’t waste emergency slots.”
Cole had a very poor impression of Nina. It was a terrible second meeting; Nina hadn’t expected him to be so trictly principled.
Dr. Preston, could you check my C-section scar? It itches whenever it rains, and it’s left a mark. Can you rescribe something to fade the scar?”
Nina had never been with a man; she had conceived Toby through IVF.
Cole frowned. “That’s a normal reaction. No need to look. I’ll prescribe an anti-itch, scar-fading ointment. Apply it twice a day.”
Apply it where? On the scar? It’s not very convenient for me to do it myself.” Nina saw him writing the >rescription faster, fearing she’d be kicked out before she could say more. But the more she panicked, the more
idiculous her words became. How could she not reach a scar on her own lower abdomen?
If you can’t reach it, have your husband help,” Cole said, printing the slip and placing it in front of her. “Next patient, please.”
‘I don’t have a husband,” Nina said. “I’m a single mother.”
Her IVF procedure had been done at this very hospital, but Cole hadn’t looked at her full history yet. Hearing this, the coldness in his eyes softened into pity.

Nina wanted to struggle, but her words died in her throat under Cole’s sympathetic gaze.
Do you think he-
The moment they stepped out of the clinic, Nina wanted to ask Mia if Cole was doing it on purpose. But before he could finish, her wrist tightened. Mia’s grip increased in strength.
She followed Mia’s gaze and saw Chloe.
What are you doing here?” Chloe asked. Then she remembered that Mia’s primary doctor was Cole.
Mia ignored her and pulled Nina away. Chloe rolled her eyes at their retreating backs. She didn’t have time to nake trouble for them; she headed straight into Cole’s office.
Cole, Ethan is bringing me here for a checkup tomorrow. You have to help me.”
As she entered, her bodyguards cleared the other patients out. Now, only she and Cole were in the office.
I can’t help you.”
Fine then. I’ll go tell Mia right now that you used the excuse of a problem with her baby to perform amniocentesis ust so you could run a paternity test for Ethan.”
f this came out, Cole’s career would be over.
