Dr. Preston, what exactly do you mean by not answering my calls?”

Mrs. Gallagher’s tone was polite, but it carried an undeniable edge of interrogation.

Cole Preston remained calm. “I just finished an exam and was tidying up the room. I didn’t hear my phone ring.”

‘I’ll choose to believe you this once. Is Mia’s baby a boy?”

Mrs. Gallagher got straight to the point.

Cole sat down at his desk. “Even though Mia is carrying a single child, she’s quite far along. The third trimester sn’t as easy to observe as the earlier months when the fetus has just formed.”

Meaning you’re not sure?”

Mrs. Gallagher’s retort was filled with dissatisfaction.

Yes. The baby has its legs crossed; I can’t see anything,” Cole said bluntly.

I think you’re being a bit too ‘ethical,’ Doctor.” Mrs. Gallagher was implying that he was staying silent on purpose. The more someone cares about something, the more likely they are to lose it. You wouldn’t want that to happen o you, would you?”

Cole fell silent.

Mrs. Gallagher let out a cold laugh. “Determining the gender in the third trimester might not be as easy as it is at our or five months, but it’s certainly not that difficult.”

If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do. You’re welcome to find someone else. I care about my eputation, but I won’t lie. If Miss Carter’s child is born and it turns out to be different from what I told you, I loubt you’d let me off the hook then, either.”

Cole put on an air of someone ready to go down with the ship.

He played the part to the end. He knew that even if things turned ugly, Ethan would move in the shadows to rotect him. This defiant streak made him seem more credible.

Fine. Then I’ll wait. No matter when Mia comes in for a checkup, your goal must be to figure out the gender. ‘erform a thorough exam.”

Mrs. Gallagher dumped the problem back on Cole.

he had to know the baby’s gender before Mia gave birth.

After hanging up, Mrs. Gallagher’s face was grim as she tossed her phone onto the sofa.

Arthur Gallagher was smoking. The living room was thick with swirling gray clouds, making the atmosphere heavy nd suffocating.

You can’t rush these things. We wait.”

Mrs. Gallagher looked at him. “Maybe Mia already knows if it’s a boy or a girl.”

Even if she knows, would she tell you?” Arthur countered.

‘I was too impatient, but my plan was solid until you ruined it,” Mrs. Gallagher complained.

Arthur shot her a displeased look. “Mia is smarter than you think. She’s a battle-hardened business elite, not a short-sighted girl like Serena. You can’t control her.”

‘Doesn’t she want a family?” Mrs. Gallagher asked, her voice filled with certainty.

No one in the world didn’t want a family, especially someone who had never experienced it.

‘If she wanted a family, she wouldn’t have rejected your advances from the very start.”

Arthur crushed his cigarette into the ashtray, stood up, and brushed off his clothes.

‘Do as I say. With her, there’s another spark of hope. I refuse to believe we can’t make this work!”
