And The Daddy Is… The Infertile Guy?!

Chapter 269

Magnolia chuckled softly, a glint of amusement in her eyes. “He’s checked into the hospital and you’re his attending physician. How can you be so cavalier with a life? Aren’t you worried about tarnishing the hospital’s reputation?”

Gwendolyn stood ngid, her voice tight as she replied, “They signed a waiver of liability.”

Magnolia’s smile deepened, her gaze softening with pity as she looked at Gwendolyn. “Sweetheart, I have a knack for reading people. You’ve got a good heart; you’re not the type to gamble with lives. I heard my brother’s condition is improving. Thank you for that.”

Truth be told, Magnolia admired Gwendolyn. If only she weren’t married to Howard Chadwick.

Thinking of her daughter, tear stained and broken, Magnolia knew she had to push for Gwendolyn and Howard to divorce, to set things right again.

Gwendolyn’s eyes glistened with unshed tears, her fingers trembling.

So kindness and morality could also be the knives that stabbed her deep.

Seizing the moment, Magnolia said, “Think it over and get back to me. You’ve never seen how the wealthy deal with problems. Go back to where you belong.”

Gwendolyn took a deep breath and then, unexpectedly, she chuckled.

She looked Magnolia straight in the eye, ready to be reckless for once, “I quit. I’m done!”

Magnolia’s expression flickered.

Gwendolyn’s laughter was tinged with tears as she said, “You’ve bent the hospital rules to push me into seeing more patients. Guess what, I’m not sticking around in this hospital. Go hunt for another doctor!”
