Although I wasn’t a full–time gynecologist, I was good at a lot of things.
“Yeah.” McKayla immediately stood up and wiped the tears off her face. “Bro, go now!”
Patrick smiled, reached out to wipe away the tears his little sister missed, then changed clothes, disinfected, and walked into the emergency room.
I had just walked into the emergency room when the equipment on one side suddenly started blaring an ear–piercing alarm.
“The patient’s heart rate dropped suddenly, get the pacemaker ready!”
“Go outside and see if the patient’s family is there, need to sign the critical condition notice.”
It was chaos in the emergency room.

The other side.
Aston Martin stopped downstairs at Roxanne’s place.
In the car, Roxanne quietly watched Maxwell’s profile.
Maxwell was always good at hiding his feelings, and you couldn’t tell if he was happy or angry.
In the business world, so many rivals put together top teams but still couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.

Back then, during the key period when the Humphrey Group was transforming, he was the one who took the lead, made decisions, and fought hard.
From a tough transition out of a traditional industry to becoming a tech rising star, and finally reaching the top and securing its spot as an industry giant, Maxwell’s abilities were never just all talk and no action.
Roxanne didn’t expect to totally control Maxwell, she just wanted to beat Stephanie, and that was enough.
Just like it was now.
Stephanie was at the hospital, and she was sitting in the passenger seat of Maxwell’s Aston Martin.
“Here.”
Seeing that Maxwell just tapped the steering wheel lightly with his left hand and didn’t do much else, Roxanne spoke up first.
“Yeah.”
Maxwell replied, but still didn’t do anything else.
Roxanne thought for a moment, then said shyly in a low voice, “Max, aren’t you going to walk me upstairs?”
Roxanne was inviting him to her place.
Adults‘ invitations didn’t need to be spelled out.
Maxwell’s hand stopped tapping on the steering wheel, and he glanced at Roxanne.
He didn’t speak right away, just looked at Roxanne.

This made Roxanne a little nervous inside.
About three seconds passed, and he said, “I’m a bit tired today.”
Roxanne nodded in understanding, then didn’t say anything.
The two of them just got a bit awkward here.
“Go back,” Maxwell said, “get some rest.”
“Yeah.” Roxanne nodded.
Finally, Maxwell walked Roxanne to the elevator.
The elevator went up all the way, and Roxanne got back home.
She saw Maxwell walk back to the car from the window, and there was a flash of smugness in her eyes.
She remembered all the things she did earlier that night after she got the news that Stephanie was pregnant.
4 hours ago, at 8 p.m., Everbloom Floral Studio.
Roxanne suddenly stood up, which made the caregivers next to her really surprised. The caregivers didn’t know why Roxanne, who was just full of energy, suddenly got so irritable.
But the caregiver didn’t dare to ask, just watched as Roxanne thought about things and then called someone, not sure who.
“Yeah, it’s me, Roxanne.” Roxanne spoke, “I needed you to help me with something now.”
“You didn’t need to care about why I did this. If you had me in your heart, just did it for me.”
“Yeah, I was with Max now, so what? Didn’t you tell me you loved

me?”
“If you loved me, you’d do it for me.”
After she hung up the phone, there was a flash of fierceness in Roxanne’s eyes.
Maxwell liked kids.
They had been together for so long, she knew Maxwell’s likes.
Although Maxwell already got the receipt with Stephanie, it was still the cooling–off period.
During the 30–day divorce cooling–off period, if one side didn’t want a divorce, they could withdraw the application, and the two would still stay married.
If Maxwell knew Stephanie was pregnant, maybe the divorce wouldn’t have worked out.
She finally got them to take the receipt, so she absolutely couldn’t let something like this happen.
Just as I was thinking, Roxanne’s phone vibrated again.
She checked her phone and saw there were two replies.
One was a reply from the person who just called: “Okay, I promised you, I would do it.”
One was Maxwell’s reply to the message she sent earlier asking if he could keep her company after work: “Okay.”
Then, at 8:45 p.m., she walked out of Everbloom Floral Studio, and her schedule was already photographed by the paparazzi.

All the trending topics and exposure after that were all created by her.
Watching the Aston Martin downstairs start up and leave, Roxanne chuckled.
“Want to keep him with a kid? I just wouldn’t let you get what you want.”
