“Have you heard about what happened yesterday at Lock Group Private Hospital?

“Mr. Lock actually mobilized the entire hospital staff just to run tests for Ms. Nadine’s scraped ankle. It was insane!”

“But I heard the whole thing caused some minor issues, too. Since all the doctors were reassigned, some patients were affected. Word is, someone even filed a complaint…”

Tess walked off with her registration slip in hand, feeling nothing but annoyed.

Why is it that everywhere I go, I keep hearing about Finn and Nadine’s love affairs?

“I also heard that Lock Group is looking for a woman with a child, saying they want to compensate her…”

The nurse’s last sentence was carried off by the wind before it could reach Tess’s ears.

She didn’t hear it, because she was already waiting outside the pediatrics consultation room for their turn.

“Layla Ember.”

As the nurse called out, Tess carried Layla into the exam room.

After the check–up, Tess went outside and sat on a bench to wait for the results.

Her gaze wandered idly around the area, until it suddenly locked onto the entrance of the ultrasound room nearby.

Nadine was holding a copy of an ultrasound scan, her brows slightly furrowed. Standing next to her was a strikingly handsome man.

So the two of them really had been involved all along.

She couldn’t help but remember the day she’d taken a desperate leap of faith and decided to look for Finn.

Max had played the role of a devoted man and acted as if his love for her ran deep. But now, it seemed more likely that he’d used her as a stepping stone to bring Nadine and Finn back together.

He truly was noble–so noble he could give up his own happiness for Nadine’s sake.

Tess let out a cold laugh.

And just as that mocking curl of her lips hadn’t yet faded, her gaze suddenly met Max’s.

Her smile froze. She paused for a beat, then straightened her expression and quickly looked away.

She just wanted to pretend they were strangers.

Max felt a sharp twinge in his chest. Even though he knew he couldn’t let Nadine find out Tess was here,
