Ethan looked back at the screen and signaled for the meeting to proceed.

A moment later, Mia’s phone vibrated several times before going quiet.

Half an hour later, the meeting ended.

‘Mrs. Gallagher really likes you.” Ethan turned his gaze toward her.

Mia paused while organizing the meeting notes. “She said she doesn’t have a daughter, and since I’m around the same age as her son, maybe we just clicked.”

‘I’m free tomorrow night.” Ethan took off his glasses, his meaning unmistakable.

Mia looked at him in surprise. “You’re going to attend?”

I’ll give you a day to pick out a gift. Bring it with you tomorrow.” Ethan rubbed the bridge of his nose, a hint of exhaustion touching his features.

Mia finished organizing the documents and sent them to his email before leaving the office.

Although she had rejected Mrs. Gallagher on the phone, the woman had sent several more messages hoping she would come. Mia eventually replied, saying she would attend the following night. She also asked about Patrick Gallagher’s interests so she could prepare a gift.

The gift isn’t important. What matters is that you can come.]

The way she phrased it made Mia feel like “she was the gift. It was unsettling.

Mia asked Stella Lewis to do some digging into Patrick Gallagher. He turned out to be a typical playboy-drinking,

ambling, and chasing women.

She selected a bottle of rare, imported red wine and arranged for it to be delivered directly to the Gallagher manor he next day.

By the time she finished, it was lunch. She headed straight to the hospital.

When she walked into the ward, she found Nina sitting on the sofa, crying. Clara was on the bed, holding Toby, who still had a cooling gel patch on his forehead.

Is he still running a fever?” Mia asked as she walked in.

It broke this morning, but it started spiking again just now,” Clara said, stealing a glance at Nina. “The doctor said t’s viral. It’ll fluctuate for a few days.”

Clara wanted to say it wasn’t a big deal, but seeing how devastated Nina was, she didn’t have the heart to say it.

‘Perfect timing. Since Toby is asleep, let’s go grab lunch. We’ll bring something back for Clara.” Mia nodded to Clara and walked over to Nina.

Nina rejected her immediately. “I’m not going. You and Clara go. I have to stay with Toby.”

‘He’s in Clara’s arms. If you try to take him, you might wake him up,” Mia said, pulling her to her feet. “Dr. Preston said yesterday that if you keep this up, you’ll collapse before Toby gets better. If you get sick, who’s going to look

Nina looked at Toby’s flushed little face, her heart aching. “I’d rather be the one sick. Seeing him like this…”

‘Stop it. You’re coming with me.” Mia pulled her toward the door.

Clara called out, “Don’t worry about the baby; he’ll be fine. Eat something. Don’t let your own health fail.”

The door shut, cutting off Clara’s voice.

As the noise of the hospital surged around them, Nina sniffled. Stepping out of that room made her feel slightly more grounded.
