“Do you know what I did before I married Marcus Ford?”

Mrs. Ford leaned back against the edge of the pool, looking up at her. “My family comes from a long line of herbal practitioners. Before I retired, I was the head OBGYN at Sunbrook City Hospital.”

Mia was only three months along. She wasn’t even showing yet.

But her slightly fuller figure and that unmistakable glow Mrs. Ford saw right through her.

Mia barely dared to breathe. She looked at Mrs. Ford like she was facing a predator.

Years of professional training were the only thing keeping her from spiraling right then and there.

She wanted to deny it, but the words died in her throat under Mrs. Ford’s piercing gaze.

Those eyes told her one thing: she couldn’t lie her way out of this.

“Looks like the office doesn’t know about the baby yet. Don’t worry, I’m not a gossip.”

Mia Carter bit her lip and nodded. “Yeah, I haven’t had the chance to bring it up. Thanks for understanding, Mrs. Ford.”

Mrs. Ford gave her a warm smile. “No need to be so tense. I’m actually trying for a baby myself. You could give me some tips. Was it planned? How long did it take you and your husband to conceive?”

As a veteran OB-GYN, Mrs. Ford knew the drill, even if she hadn’t gone through it herself.

She was just trying to ease the tension, showing Mia she was on her side.

But Mia couldn’t relax. Mrs. Ford had just stepped right into another minefield.

Her body stiffened, her brow knitting together.

“We weren’t trying. I didn’t want kids. It was an accident.”

Mrs. Ford didn’t hesitate. “Well, a baby is a blessing. You have to keep it.”

Mia gave a small nod. Keep it.

“You look about two or three months along?” Mrs. Ford asked.

Mia nodded like a robot.

“So, how’s your husband taking it?” Mrs. Ford leaned in, her voice dropping into gossip territory. “Does he want to keep the baby?”

Mia froze. She didn’t know how to answer that. A flicker of pain crossed her face, leaving her looking hollow.

Before Mrs. Ford could dig any deeper, the sound of men’s voices drifted over from nearby.

Through the rising mist, two men in white bathrobes walked toward them.

Ethan Hale’s hair was short and neat, revealing his broad, smooth forehead.

His deep eyes pierced through the fog, locking onto Mia’s gaze.

Mia looked down, her voice barely a whisper. “Mrs. Ford…”

“Don’t worry, I know the drill.” Mrs. Ford climbed out of the spring, giving Mia a reassuring look before heading toward Marcus. “Honey, what took you guys so long?”

Seeing that Mrs. Ford wasn’t going to mention the pregnancy, Mia finally relaxed. She walked over to Ethan’s

side.

Marcus Ford wrapped an arm around his wife’s waist. “Mr. Hale and I were waiting for Mr. Rivers, but it turns out he’d already headed out. Have you seen him?”

Mrs. Ford looked around, surprised. She shook her head. “No, haven’t seen him at all.”
