I Loved You in the Dark Until Someone Loved Me in the Light novel Chapter 69

Her severe morning sickness had completely destroyed her appetite. The exhaustion wasn't just tanking her work performance—it could very well cost her mother her life if she couldn't afford the bills.

Ever since she got pregnant, she hadn't received a shred of care. She barely had time to eat, and her body was still incredibly frail from her previous miscarriage, making this pregnancy incredibly precarious.

Currently, her baby's status was dangerously unstable.

Right after stepping out of the operating room, she rushed to the sink, vomiting until she was dizzy.

It felt as if the baby was furiously protesting the mistreatment.

“Dr. Jordan, you're looking awful lately. That complex case is due in two months. Are you going to be fit for the surgery?” a colleague asked with concern.

Gillian's face was chalk-white. She clenched her hands tightly. “I can do it.”

“If I realize I can't handle it, I'll pass the surgery to someone who can.”

She wasn't the kind of monster who would gamble a patient's life for her own career metrics. The patient's safety was the only priority.

The surgery was highly complex and still two months away, giving them ample time to finalize the surgical plan.

Gillian gently touched her stomach. Two months was enough time.

By then, her morning sickness would subside. As long as she could stabilize the pregnancy and avoid any massive emotional triggers, she would be fine.

Gillian stripped off her scrubs and headed to the cafeteria for lunch.

Chloe Langdon slid into the seat across from her, dropping her tray. “Did you hear? Hailey is coming back this afternoon.”

“She was given a one-month suspension, and it's barely been a week! So what was the point of docking a whole year of your bonuses?”

Chloe ranted furiously. “God, it pays to have a sugar daddy.”

Gillian wasn't surprised in the slightest. She remained completely indifferent. York had already secretly compensated Hailey for the docked bonuses anyway, making the entire punishment a complete joke.

“What did she do to get her job back so quickly?” Gillian asked, mildly curious.
