CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Karina immediately offered, "I'll see if there are any more tangerines."

"No need, I was just teasing," Nina replied with a casual wave, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. Her relaxed demeanor, paired with her effortless charm, made her shine without even trying. She gave Karina a small smile before leaving. After she left, Fiona approached with a look of awe. "I can see now why everyone believes those rumors. She's stunning! How could anyone not fall for her? If I were the director, I'd be head over heels too."

Karina's chest tightened at Fiona's words, though she couldn't pinpoint why. Just the thought of Wilfred having someone special made her heart feel heavy and uncomfortable.

She said nothing.

Fiona, having seen Nina in person and picked up on her genuine demeanor, realized the situation probably wasn't what the rumors suggested. She wisely dropped the topic of the supposed love child. As for those who continued gossiping, Fiona decided to steer clear, keeping her head down to avoid trouble.

Not long after, word spread that several nurses had been fired. Coincidentally, all of them had been involved in spreading rumors.

Fiona, being a nurse herself and one of those who had gossiped, felt a wave of gratitude toward Karina. "Thank goodness you warned me, or I might have been next."

Suddenly, a nurse Karina didn't recognize walked in. "Dr. Norman, the director wants to see you."

Startled, Karina looked up.
