Chapter 81

"I won’t have the baby." Kaylee didn’t hesitate. Not even for a second. "Why?" William hadn’t expected such a firm, immediate answer. "Mr. Morgan, you and I are completely different. I don’t have the luxury of being reckless." Her gaze dropped slightly, voice calm but resolute. "I have no family. I spent twenty years studying and have only been working for a year. I still owe my friend thousands of dollars. If I had a baby, I wouldn’t even be able to afford a nanny." William frowned. "Are you assuming I wouldn’t take responsibility? When did I ever give you that impression?" Kaylee exhaled, shaking her head slightly. "I know you’re a good and responsible person. If I had the baby, even if you got married in the future, you probably wouldn’t abandon your child." She looked him in the eye. "But I can’t build my life around probably. If my child’s well-being depends entirely on your kindness, then I’m putting myself in an incredibly passive position." W

"Mr. Morgan," Kaylee said quickly, "Since I said it, I’ll keep my word—whether I was drunk or sober. I promised you." Her voice was firm, steady. William should have been pleased. Instead, a strange sense of guilt surfaced in his chest. "You don’t have to answer right away," he said. "Think about it first. If you have any conditions, financial or otherwise, let me know. I’ll have my lawyer draft a formal agreement to protect your rights." His tone was calm, businesslike. Kaylee thought for a moment before asking, "What exactly does pretending to be your fiancée involve?" "You’ll need to keep living here with me, like you do now," William explained. "We’ll go about daily life together. I might pick you up from work sometimes. There will be social events where I’ll need you by my side." "Alright." To Kaylee, it didn’t sound that different from their current arrangement. William added, "My mother is sharp. She’s not easy to fool. She likely has people watchin

"Susanne, that’s not necessary," Kaylee said firmly, pushing the jewelry box back toward her. "I told you—your family doesn’t owe me anything. I lent you the money because I could, and I should." She couldn’t accept this gift. But Susanne made no move to take the box back. Instead, she sighed. "Kaylee, I know you’ve already accepted gifts from William—like that thirty-million-dollar watch—so I guess my little gift must seem insignificant in comparison." Kaylee froze. "What thirty-million-dollar watch?" Her first instinct was that Susanne must have heard some wild rumor. There was no way she had accepted a watch worth thirty million! Susanne studied her expression, then added, "The watch you wore last night—it’s a Patek Philippe antique. A few years ago, it sold at auction for thirty-three million." She hesitated before asking, "You… didn’t know?" Kaylee's mind went blank for a second. "The watch I wore last night?" "Thirty-three… million?" That

Susanne carefully studied Kaylee’s expression. And there it was. The emotion she had been waiting to see. "Kaylee," she said, her voice soft but insistent. "I may not be your birth mother, but I was the one who raised you." She took the jewelry box and forced it into Kaylee’s hands. "I know Alex isn’t a good man. If he ends up miserable in the future, that’s his own fault. But you…"I want you to marry someone who truly loves you."William doesn’t."He’s no different from Alex." Kaylee exhaled slowly. "Susanne, thank you… but I can’t accept this. "As for William, our relationship isn’t what you think it is." She didn’t bother explaining further. Susanne studied her for a moment, then finally let out a small sigh. "That’s good, then."But if you ever change your mind… I can help you find someone who’s truly right for you." Kaylee shook her head. "There’s no need. I don’t plan on dating or marrying anyone. "I just want to focus on my work. T

"Really? I can go?" Kaylee felt like she'd just won the lottery. Medical conferences like this were usually reserved for the top doctors at the hospital, who would sometimes bring along their protégés. But since she was still relatively new, she'd never been picked before. "You can," Dr. Henderson nodded. "But the flight is at ten tonight. If you're going, wrap up your work, head home to pack, and then get to the airport." He paused before adding, "You'll be back the day after tomorrow." "I'm in!" She had plenty of reasons to go. A conference like this was a goldmine of knowledge. But more importantly, it meant she wouldn't have to stay at William’s place tonight. She’d have some space to clear her head. Dr. Henderson nodded. "Good. I’ve got a surgery to get to, so handle your work and get ready." As soon as he left, Kaylee instinctively reached for her phone to tell William about the trip. But just as she was about to type the message, Susanne’s words surfaced

A wave of guilt and hesitation washed over Kaylee. Even if William’s kindness had started because of Lynn, at this moment, he was simply being thoughtful. She stood there for a long time, unmoving. The call remained silent. Just as she assumed he had already hung up—and was about to call back to explain—she realized the call was still connected. "Mr. Morgan," she spoke quickly. "Sorry, I thought the call had ended." "I figured we should at least say goodbye before hanging up," William replied, a hint of amusement in his tone. "Alright then, see you in Brookshire.” "...Yeah, see you in Brookshire,” Kaylee paused for half a second before adding, "Safe travels to you too." This time, the call ended. Kaylee headed home to pack. For a two-day trip, she didn’t need much. Even after finishing, her 20-inch suitcase was still only half full. Then, she went into the walk-in closet to grab a shirt and tie for William. The jewelry from the engagement banquet, in

Kaylee hurried to the check-in counter, scanning the area to make sure Dr. Henderson hadn’t arrived yet. Once she confirmed he wasn’t there, she finally relaxed. She hated being late. Whenever she had an appointment, she always left herself plenty of extra time. About half an hour later, Dr. Henderson arrived, and they boarded the plane together. After a four-hour flight, they landed at Brookshire Airport. As Kaylee made her way to baggage claim, someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around to find Emma grinning at her. “You just got off that flight too?” Emma looped her arm around Kaylee’s. “Wait, are you here for the AI-Driven Medical Conference?” Kaylee nodded. “Yeah. I came with my supervisor, but he was in first class, and I was in economy, so he probably left already.” “Ugh, same! I thought private hospitals like yours would at least put you guys in first class.” “My rank’s too low for that.” “Then we gotta work hard! Give it three to five y

In other words, the only reason he was here was to wait for her. To see her.Kaylee felt a lump formed in her throat, and her eyes teared.She had never been the type to envy others, no matter how hard her life had been or how little she had. But right now, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy toward that woman—Lynn.She envied the fact that William had loved her so deeply.If only that love had been meant for her… she would have given everything in return.Her phone chimed with a message.William: Leave my shirt and tie at the front desk. I’ll pick them up later.Kaylee had expected him to ask her to bring them to his room. But instead, he was keeping his distance, making things easy for her.It made sense. It was already past 2 AM. If he waited for her to bring them up, it would only delay her rest even more.She rode to the hotel with Dr. Henderson, Emma, and their department head. It was a seven-seater, and she sat in the back row with Emma.Emma nudged her and

"But... I didn't pack anything for the dinner..."Kaylee had assumed this was primarily a conference, and she'd only brought two outfits suitable for meetings."We're about the same size, so wear mine," Emma laughed. "If you want to thank me, you can introduce me to your supervisor later and help me get a job at Honor Medical Center. I'm seriously done with overtime.""I can introduce you, but I really don't need to change clothes."Kaylee was adamant.She didn't want to inconvenience Emma."Then at least let me do your makeup! We've got plenty of time, don't worry!"Emma's makeup things were still scattered on the table. Seeing Kaylee's resolve weakening, she quickly spritzed face mist onto Kaylee's face and deftly clipped back her stray hair with a hairpin.Emma was skilled at makeup, and Kaylee had a great base to work with. In just a few minutes, she'd done a full face of makeup and styled Kaylee's previously tied-back hair into a simple, elegant look.Once everything was

Kaylee followed Dr. Henderson to meet Dr. Gardin from Trinity Hospital, learning they were actually former classmates who knew each other during their studies.Their conversation had nothing to do with work or academics.As soon as Dr. Gardin saw Dr. Henderson, he exclaimed, "Oh, Ken just mentioned finding a few more people to play cards tonight. Perfect timing—we need one more player after the banquet.""Steve, you never change. Still obsessed with card games," Dr. Henderson teased, though he didn't refuse.Dr. Gardin pointed at Kaylee. "Why don't we bring your talented assistant to complete the group?"Kaylee froze.She hadn't expected to be invited to this old friends' gathering and was contemplating how to politely decline when—"Are you all discussing something? May I join?"A familiar voice spoke beside her.Turning around, Kaylee saw William standing next to her, holding a wine glass, his gaze fixed on Dr. Gardin."Mr. Morgan!" Dr. Gardin looked surprised. "I'm arrangi
