The server stopped at a sliding door and pushed it open. The suite was divided into two rooms; the door to the inner room was slightly ajar.

Cole was sitting at a square table in the outer room, performing a fluid, graceful tea ceremony.

“Dr. Preston,” Mia said, walking in.

“Sorry for making you travel so far, Miss Carter.” Cole gestured for her to sit.

Mia didn’t see her medical records anywhere. She remained polite. “I won’t keep you from your busy schedule. If you could just give me the files, I’ll be on my way.”

“Apologies, the files are in my car. I’ve already sent a server to get them.” Cole adjusted his glasses and filled a cup for her. “Wait a moment. Don’t worry, this tea is safe for pregnant women. Besides, there are a few things I

wanted to mention.”

A soft rustle came from behind the half-open door of the inner room.

Someone else was in there. Cole likely had another meeting scheduled. Mia frowned slightly, but after a moment of thought, she sat down.

“Thank you, Dr. Preston.”

“You’re nearly twenty-two weeks pregnant now. The second trimester is relatively safe, but since you won’t be seeing me for checkups anymore, I wanted to remind you not to neglect the third trimester.”

Cole began to list instructions with meticulous detail.

The fetus is currently developing on the smaller side. I suggest you focus on nutrition in the coming weeks. Don’t overwork yourself; ideally, you should stop working altogether to ensure a smooth third trimester.”

Mia already knew most of this. She figured Cole was just making small talk to kill time and avoid an awkward silence while they waited for the files.

She nodded in agreement. “I understand. Thank you, Dr. Preston\”

‘There’s one more thing that is strictly forbidden in the third trimester.” Cole took a sip of tea. He set the cup down slowly before continuing. “I haven’t met your husband, but since you’re so young, I assume he’s also young and full of energy. You must absolutely avoid sex in the late stages of pregnancy to prevent premature birth.”

The topic of the third trimester’s biggest taboo touched on a very private matter. If Cole were wearing a white coat and they were in a sterile exam room, Mia could have answered a simple “I know” without a second thought.

But in this setting, with this topic-

‘Miss Carter? Is something wrong?” Seeing her silence, Cole looked at her with a face full of professional righteousness. “Is that something he can’t manage?”

“Of course not! No,” Mia denied quickly.

“I imagine you’re a sensible person,” Cole said with a nod. “Is your husband being uncooperative? Did he come with you today? Should I go downstairs and have a word with him?”

Mia shook her head again. “No, thank you for the offer, Dr. Preston. We… we both understand.”

The words “I understand” were halfway out of her mouth before she forced them into “we both understand.”

The door was pushed open from the outside, and a male server entered carrying a set of car keys and a manila envelope.

Give those to the lady,” Cole said. He took the keys and signaled for the server to hand the records to Mia.

Mia stood up to take them, whispered a thank you to the server, and turned back to Cole.
