Thane’s POV
‘Aunt Lena!’
Looking down at the phone long and hard, I blink nonstop, trying to be sure that this is not a ghost.
Aunt Lena?!
The last time we spoke was the month of my nasty acceptance to go ahead with the surrogacy thing.
Well, it's basically her idea, the whole not ending the lineage and giving her a cousin kinda talk.
Even though she had supported me with her talks and other things, she had zero clue whatsoever about me finally going on with it.
And Dr. Cain, being gracious, keeps this to himself as well, despite Aunt Lena giving him so much pressure.
Also, it's crazy how she understands to leave me alone.
We just text or email, but we barely spoke on the phone. Frankly, she understands boundaries except when pushed to.
And now?!
Slipping my phone back into my pocket, I focus on work, in need of finalizing the talk with the Recruitment Hub.
