Rowan had absolutely no desire to be in a relationship with Flora. The mere attempt of Flora trying to communicate with her infuriated Rowan.The doctor standing nearby appeared surprised, glancing at both of them before offering a smile. "So you two know each other. That works out well. Take a rest, and I'll prescribe the medicine. Rowan, a nurse will accompany you to bring it over later."Flora's face brightened with a smile as she eagerly agreed.Throughout the entire encounter, Rowan remained silent. As she watched the doctor put away his pen and exit the room, she began to follow suit, ready to leave."Wait!" Flora suddenly called out, stopping Rowan in her tracks. With great enthusiasm, she exclaimed, "It's been so long since I last saw you. Let's sit down and chat for a while!"There was absolutely nothing to discuss between them in their nearly incompatible relationship. The bitterness of their last encounter at the coffee shop was still fresh in Rowan's memory.Rowan wanted t
Richard spread his hands in response to Flora's question, trying to appear innocent."You see, I was kicked out by Mr. David, so I didn't participate in their discussion. I really don't know the specifics," he explained, offering what seemed like mere excuses.However, Flora knew better. As David's personal secretary, it was implausible for Richard to be completely ignorant of David's itinerary. She couldn't confront him directly, though, and there seemed to be no good way to force the truth out of him."Okay," Flora sighed, her frustration evident. "You go back and do your work. I'll take some time for myself."She thought for a moment, realizing that letting him go was her only option for now.Richard hurriedly walked away, reminding Flora before leaving, "Miss Flora, if you need anything, just come to my office and look for me. Don't go wandering around! President David is furious, and it'll be difficult for us to accomplish anything."Hearing his words, Flora's anger flared up ins
David had to distance himself from Flora, ever since the night she confessed they had slept together, doubts about their relationship had been consuming him. The weight of his father's dying wish and his staunch opposition, coupled with Rowan's tearful pleas, left him momentarily unsure of his own convictions.What chilled him even further was Flora's complete lack of remorse for her actions. She didn't see anything wrong with her behavior; she was only worried about David's anger and not bothered by the consequences she caused Rowan, who had lost her job due to her manipulations.In the aftermath of the showdown in his second apartment that night, David deliberately avoided Flora for two days. He retreated to his mansion, which he now shared with Rowan after work. He had hoped to have ample time to discuss matters with Rowan, return her job, and then calmly negotiate the terms of their divorce. At the very least, he had hoped they could part ways amicably, without any lingering debt
Rowan's heart sank as she saw David's frozen expression. She had no idea what she had said wrong, but it was clear that she had struck a nerve. She hurriedly tried to explain herself, hoping to ease the tension between them. "I... I only found out that Flora was pregnant when she came to the hospital where I work for an examination today," Rowan stammered. "I didn't deliberately inquire or anything." David's frown deepened, and he continued to gaze at her with a piercing look in his eyes. His silence only heightened Rowan's anxiety. "Did you see Flora at the hospital today?" David finally asked, his tone filled with a mix of concern and suspicion. "Yes, yes," Rowan replied, her voice trembling slightly. She could feel her tongue tying up as she struggled to find the right words. She couldn't help but feel like she had unintentionally offended him once again, in a way she couldn't comprehend. The uncertainty hung heavy in the air, and Rowan anxiously awaited his response. Time see
David's father's words echoed in Rowan's mind, leaving her wondering, "Is it really Flora?" But why would Flora claim her surname is Smith? It didn't make sense to fabricate an identity just for a prenatal checkup."Rowan, Rowan?" A hand waved in front of her eyes, pulling her out of her thoughts.Lost in contemplation, she had forgotten that the doctor was waiting for a response. She mustered a smile and apologized, "I'm sorry, Doctor. I don't know her very well, so it would be best for me to call her directly and let her handle it.""Oh, that's fine! I can ask her myself later then," the doctor replied."Doctor," Rowan interjected as the doctor was about to leave the room. She hurriedly approached him, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Can I inquire about her current situation?"The doctor paused, suspicious of Rowan's sudden interest after claiming not to know Flora well. He asked with a hint of doubt, "Do you really know each other?"Realizing the inconsistency in her words, Rowan quick
Rowan told Rolland all about what happened from last night to today. "She was pregnant but didn't tell David, she went to the hospital under a false name and even came to threaten me out of nowhere. What is she afraid of?" Now Rowan is most puzzled by this. "Rowan, why are you starting to think about this big scumbag like David again? Didn't you agree to ignore them again?"Rowan was stunned and wanted to refute Rolland that she was not helping David think about things.Rollans spoke faster than her, "No matter what problems Flora has, it has nothing to do with you. Even if the child she is carrying is not David, it is David's business and not yours. Why are you bothering?!"Rowan lowered her eyes and muttered to herself, "Isn't it his child?" "Snapped!"Rolland patted the table lightly. Rowan was taken aback by surprise and looked up at him.He cursed bitterly, "Wake up, miss! I told you not to bother about them anymore, have you thought about it seriously?! If your ex-husband,
The next day.oDoctor Alex was worried when Flora didn't show up, but instead, Flora arrived accompanied by David's mother. Rowan had initially believed that Flora would never return to their hospital again, underestimating her persistence. Not only did Flora confidently arrive, but she also brought David's mother along.As Rowan was dealing with system errors at the nurse's station, she glanced up and saw the two of them entering. Flora raised her eyebrows slightly and greeted Rowan with a smile."Miss Rowan, I have an appointment for a check-up. Is Dr. Alex available?" Flora asked confidently, behaving as if she hadn't been the one who had snuck away before.David's mother, seemingly aware that she would encounter Rowan, showed no surprise on her face. She looked at Rowan with an impassive expression.Maintaining a professional smile, Rowan tried to treat them like any other mothers and their family members. "What time is your appointment? Let me find out for you," she offered, stan
, Chapter 67Flora stepped out of the car and caught sight of the illuminated windows in David's grand mansion. Instantly, her heart filled with pure joy. Brimming with excitement, she hurried over and pressed the doorbell. Time seemed to stretch on as she waited, testing her patience.Just as her patience was wearing thin, the heavy doors of the mansion creaked open. To her astonishment, it was Rowan who stood before her, someone she never expected to see. Flora couldn't control her surprise, and her face revealed her shock."It's... it's you?" she stammered, her voice betraying her disbelief.Rowan's expression didn't reflect warmth; instead, it soured upon seeing Flora. Her face grew long, revealing her displeasure."What are you doing here?" Rowan asked brusquely, her tone dripping with impoliteness. "What do you have planned for me?"Flora paid no mind to the sarcasm in Rowan's voice. She raised her voice, desperately seeking answers. "Why are you here? After your divorce, why ar
