Chapter 7

"See how your health is improving daily with this fresh umbilical cord blood?" Adam said.

Chesley nestled comfortably against Adam, her voice gentle and sweet.

"You're so kind to me, Adam. But... there's something I'm unsure if I should share..."

Adam felt a wave of unease upon seeing her conflicted expression.

"My dear Chesley, don't hold back. Tell me everything."

Feigning innocence, Chesley reluctantly showed her phone. The screen displayed images of me and a young coworker entering the hospital's maternity ward, laughing together.

Adam's anger flared instantly, his face flushing with rage.

"How could Mia betray me like this!"

A faint, triumphant smile flickered across Chesley's face before she quickly adopted a soothing tone.

"Don't jump to conclusions, Adam. Perhaps Mia was just discussing work with him?"

"After all, her pregnancy has fully restored my health. Let's not harbor ill feelings towards her, okay?"

Adam scoffed coldly.
