Mia Carter watched the chat window, seeing the “typing…” indicator flicker.

She held her breath, her eyes glued to the screen.

But after a long wait, while the indicator appeared and disappeared fitfully, the screen finally went still.

Ethan Hale hadn’t sent anything else.

Mia turned off her phone, sinking back into the darkness. She tossed and turned for a long time before finally drifting off to sleep.

The next morning, a phone call jolted her awake.

Without even opening her eyes, she fumbled for the phone under her pillow and answered.

“Hello, is this Ms. Mia Carter?”

“Yes,” Mia croaked. “Who is this?”

“This is the Serenity Postpartum Center. We’re calling to verify your order information. Your due date is August 28th. We will prepare your check-in information two weeks in advance. You can bring your hospital bag over early…”

The soft, gentle female voice on the other end went into a detailed explanation.

Mia interrupted her. “I’m sorry, you have the wrong number. I didn’t make a reservation with you.’

“Ma’am, Mrs. Gallagher booked it for you. She’s already paid in full. You just need to come in when it’s time.”

The staff member continued describing the check-in process.

Mia listened patiently until she finished, her sleepiness completely gone. She didn’t even wait to get out of bed before calling Mrs. Gallagher.

Mrs. Gallagher answered almost instantly. “Mia?”

Just those two words were filled with joy and surprise.

“Mrs. Gallagher, the Serenity Postpartum Center just called. They said you booked a room for me.” Mia got straight to the point.

“Yes. You and Serena are due around the same time, so I thought I’d book one for you too. I saw you there the other day but you left. Were you worried about the cost?”

Mrs. Gallagher’s voice was kind and gentle, like a deeply concerned elder.

“I’m so sorry, Mrs. Gallagher, but I can’t accept your kindness…”

“Mia, don’t be so quick to refuse me,” Mrs. Gallagher interrupted. “I’m not this nice to just anyone. It’s mostly because you

and Serena have had so many disagreements. I wanted to help you two make peace and apologize on

her behalf.”

Compared to the blatant conflicts with Serena Woods, Mia found Mrs. Gallagher’s behavior even more uncomfortable.

“Mrs. Gallagher, it doesn’t matter if the Young Mrs. Gallagher and I become friends. Besides, I’ve already resigned from Bayview. My presence won’t affect the cooperation between the Gallagher family and Mr. Hale. You’re overthinking this.”

Mrs. Gallagher fell silent.

“Please find time to cancel the reservation. I’ve already chosen a place,” Mia said, hanging up before Mrs. Gallagher could refuse.

Mrs. Gallagher stared at her phone for a few seconds before looking up at Mr. Gallagher.

“Mia won’t accept my arrangement.”
