Chapter 548 Health Check

Only then did Dawn really look at the breakfast beside her, a faintly apologetic smile on her face.

“Thank you, Mason. These past couple of days… my head’s been a mess.

“Go do your thing. I’ll eat.”

Just before Mason turned around, a figure flashed past the office doorway–unnoticed by him..

Jennifer hurried back to her own office, so shocked that she completely forgot to control her expression.

Dawn…

She’s pregnant?

How is that possible?

Vincent would never allow it!

Work piled up so tightly that there wasn’t even room to think about anything else. By the time it was time to get out of work, Dawn was still rubbing her temples, slumped in her chair, half–asleep.

Mason finished up and passed by her office as he was about to leave. His steps suddenly slowed.

“Ms. West, it’s already very late.”

“I’ll sit for a bit longer.”

Dawn opened her eyes. Seeing his slightly furrowed brows, she gave in with a smile. “Ten minutes? I promise I’ll lock security makes their rounds. You go home first. Thanks for the hard work these two days.”

Mason checked the time. Ten minutes was still within reason.

“Alright. Call me if you need anything.”

“I will.” She nodded.

Not long after, the entire building went quiet. Dawn turned her head to look outside. Even the distant high–rises were swallowed up, nothing visible but a haze.

The weather really flips on a dime.

It’s about to rain.

She let out a deep breath, then calmly shut down her computer and stood up, packing everything on her desk into her bag.

The lights in the outer office area were already off. As she walked out of her office, the motion–sensor lights flicked on one by one beneath her steps. Dawn wasn’t usually timid, but tonight, she inexplicably felt that something was… off.

She instinctively tightened her grip on her bag and quickened her pace downstairs.

It wasn’t even 7 p.m. yet, but most of the cars had already left the parking garage.

Light from afar cast onto Dawn, stretching her shadow long across the ground.

She scanned her surroundings warily. It was so quiet she could hear her own heartbeat. Something’s wrong… seriously wrong.

She pulled out her phone. The moment she opened her call log, a familiar number jumped out at her. Before she could dial, a woman’s smiling voice suddenly sounded from behind her. “Ms. West.”

A chill ran down Dawn’s spine as she slowly turned around.

It was Jennifer.

She didn’t relax at all, her eyes guarded as she looked at the woman. “Why are you still here?”

“Me?” Jennifer lifted a finger and pointed at herself. “I left earlier, then remembered I forgot something. I didn’t expect you to be getting out of work this late. You really work hard.”

Dawn’s gaze flicked briefly to her nails. Bright red, like flowers blooming in the snow.

“Go grab your stuff, then. Bye.”

“I’m not just here for that. I need to talk to you, Ms. West.”

Before Dawn could leave, Jennifer spoke again. “Actually, this was from a couple of days ago, but work got busy, and I forgot… Mr. West arranged for a doctor to do a thorough checkup on your current condition.”

Standing under a beam of light, she tilted her chin slightly as she spoke. The light fell squarely into her pale blue eyes, creating an unusual color that seemed almost hypnotic.

Dawn said coldly, “My health is fine. I don’t need an exam.”

“Oh, that’s not it at all.”

As if afraid of angering her, Jennifer paused to choose her words.

“Ms. West, your health isn’t great to begin with. Even I know that, and I’m hardly ever at HQ. You’ve always needed doctors around you. You’ve been back for quite some time now… It’s normal for Mr. West to worry.”

Her long, reed–thin legs carried her over in just two steps as she linked her arm through Dawn’s. “Please, Ms. West. If you don’t cooperate, it’ll be hard for me to explain things to Mr. West. He’ll definitely assign someone else to follow up on this.”

With Vincent, that was absolutely possible.

But an exam…
