His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 463

Chapter 463

I think I remember a patient like that.”

Cole Preston remained unfazed. “Do you know her?”

Mrs. Gallagher nodded. “Do you remember if she’s carrying a boy or a girl?”

Serena Woods whipped her head toward Mrs. Gallagher. “Mom, what do you mean by that?”

“Be quiet.” Mrs. Gallagher shot Serena a warning look before turning her attention back to Cole.

Cole went silent for a few seconds before slowly shaking his head. “I have too many patients. I remember the name, but I’ve forgotten the specifics of her case.”

Mrs. Gallagher lowered her voice. “When is her next prenatal checkup?”

“It should be soon. Checkups become quite frequent in the third trimester.”

“Then let me know when she comes in. I want you to check if she’s carrying a boy.”

Mrs. Gallagher pulled the check out again and tucked it into Cole’s bag. “Tell me as soon as you know.”

“Mrs. Gallagher.”

Cole’s expression turned solemn. “I have professional ethics.”

He pulled the check back out and handed it back to her. “I’ll act as if today’s conversation never happened, but I cannot help you with anything else.”

“It’s too late for that.” Mrs. Gallagher refused to take the check. “I’ve already recorded everything you just said. It’s too late to regret it now. Whether your career ends here or not depends entirely on the choice you make.”

He could either take the check and work for Mrs. Gallagher against his conscience, or he could keep his integrity but be branded with a ruined reputation and forced out of the industry.

A smart man knew exactly which one to pick.

Mrs. Gallagher wasn’t worried about whether Cole was willing or not. Having leverage over him made her feel

even more secure.

Cole stood rooted to the spot. Serena climbed off the exam table, straightening her clothes while glaring at the check in Cole’s hand, her eyes nearly spitting fire.

Ultimately, Cole tucked the check away.

“I’ll be waiting for your news.”

Mrs. Gallagher tossed out those few words and shot a look at Serena. “Let’s go.”

She turned and left.

Though Serena was unwilling, she followed closely behind.

The moment they were gone, Cole dialed Ethan Hale’s number.

Ethan leaned against the window frame, looking out at the heavy traffic of the commercial district. His gaze darkened instantly.

“I understand.”

He still couldn’t figure out the Gallaghers’ true motive. Leo Martinez was still investigating the family, and the fact that there had been no news for so many days proved that the Gallagher family was far from simple.

“Should I tell Mia?” Cole suggested.

Ethan pondered for a moment. “No. I’ll have people keep an eye on them.”

Although he didn’t know the inside story, he was certain that Mrs. Gallagher was targeting the child in Mia’s belly.

That child was Mia’s life. If she knew the Gallaghers’ intentions, it would be difficult for her to stay calm. Once she started acting strangely, Mrs. Gallagher would notice immediately.

“Why are you sending people to watch them?” Cole countered. “Why not just tell Jaxon Rivers?”
