CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

As he finished, the director couldn't help but remark, "Dr. Wilfred, I had a feeling you'd be a great ally for our hospital. And now I see I was absolutely right!"

Wilfred replied in his usual composed tone, "Well, considering you've helped me solve a big problem, it's only fair I return the favor."

The director froze for a moment. When had he ever helped Wilfred? He had no idea what Wilfred was referring to.
