Mia sat directly opposite him. The familiar scent wafting from him made the air feel thin.

Even with Nina trying to keep the conversation going, the mood at the table never quite lifted.

The meal was a disorganized affair.

After lunch, Mia used the excuse that Dex’s umbilical cord was oozing a bit of fluid to ask Cole to help her check it in the nursery.

Cole followed her inside.

It’s not a big deal. Just keep it dry. He might have sensitive skin, which is why the cord is healing a bit slowly.”

Cole turned to ask, “Do you have any iodine? I’ll treat it for him now.”

Yes. Mia grabbed cotton swabs and iodine from the nightstand.

It looks like you’ve already been applying medicine for him.”

Cole glanced at her, exposing the fact that her excuse for calling him in was unnecessary.

Mia pulled out a swab and handed it to him. Dr. Preston, I want to know what happened the day of my surgery. Did someone break into the operating

oom?”

What do you remember?” Cole took the swab, dipped it in iodine, and gently dabbed it on Dex’s navel.

I can’t tell if it was a dream or reality. Someone broke in and tried to take Dex away. Then Ethan appeared and brought the baby back.”

der intuition told her this was likely the truth.

But other than Ethan, who would want her child?

And clearly, Ethan hadn’t been plotting to take the baby; he didn’t even know the truth.

because of that, she felt it was just a ridiculous dream.

Cole finished applying the medicine, tossed the swab, and pulled the baby’s clothes back into place, tying the strings.

Miss Carter, things are a bit complicated. I don’t know how to explain it to you, and you’ll find out the truth eventually. But I will say this: Ethan must e reliable to you.”

Mia pursed her lips.

I know what you’re worried about. I won’t interfere in your business. I only want to say one thing: Miss Carter, what you’re doing is too cruel. It’s too

infair.”

Cole’s expression was calm, his tone level.

Mia’s heart sank, the weight of his words making it hard to breathe.

Is the problem serious?” Jaxon walked in. Seeing that Mia didn’t look well, he quickened his pace. “Should we go to the hospital?”

No need. I’ve applied the medicine; it’s not a major issue.”

Cole straightened the baby’s clothes and gave Dex a light pat. “He’s gained a lot of weight since birth. Miss Carter is taking very good care of him.”

axon breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at Mia. “Cole is a great doctor. If he says it’s fine, it’s fine. Don’t worry too much.”

Yeah. Mia forced a smile. Thank you both for coming today and for the gifts.”

Don’t be so formal. We’re all from Northbrook, and we’ve known each other for a long time

Cole glanced at Jaxon. Technically, my relationship with you isn’t any more distant than yours with Jaxon.”

After all, he had performed Mia’s surgery and was the first person to hold Dex.

axon could tell Cole was hinting that his relationship with Mia wasn’t as close as he liked to describe it.

You’re comparing yourself to me?” Jaxon countered defiantly. Do you even know who picked this kid’s name?”

Cole arched an eyebrow. It was Nina.”

Nina picked Dex, but I picked Dex the Sprout. Two nicknames, and she approved them both!”
