Ariana had intended to provoke a strong reaction, but Chloe remained calm, not showing the slightest sign of anger. Ariana felt like she'd hit a brick wall with her efforts.

Disappointed, she gave up on her confrontation and left the meeting room.

As Chloe stepped out, she encountered a visibly anxious Michael. Šeeing her, he quickly approached. "I've scheduled an appointment at the hospital. Let's head over now." He hadn't forgotten about taking her for a checkup.

Chloe, unable to refuse him and acknowledging that it was indeed time for her prenatal examination, agreed to go with him.

Michael, relieved upon hearing the news from the doctor, let out a sigh of relief. "That's a relief."
