CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1808

Why would someone as unbothered by non-work matters as Wilfred suddenly intervene in this situation?

Karina didn't think too deeply about it. She failed to notice that the real reason lay in Wilfred's reluctance to let Xavier stay at the hospital.

After all, the only person Wilfred trusted in the Atlantis hospital was Karina. If Xavier stayed, she would inevitably be the one to care for him. And Wilfred, stationed in Birkham, wouldn't be able to keep an eye on things.

Just the thought of Karina and Xavier spending days and nights together in a place out of his sight, talking and sharing moments, made Wilfred's gaze grow icy without him realizing it.

Meanwhile, Karina, shivering from the sudden chill, blamed the air conditioning or her choice of outfit. She was completely oblivious to the most obvious culprit standing right next to her.

The discharge procedures went smoothly. By the afternoon, Xavier's belongings were packed, and he was ready to leave. Since he was Karina's patient and they had grown acquainted over time, she set aside her tasks to see him off. Xavier glanced at Wilfred, then deliberately turned to Karina. "Dr. Norman, may I have a hug?"

Karina blinked in surprise, her gaze instinctively drifting toward Wilfred. But she stopped herself. "He's asking me, not Wilfred. This is my decision. Why am I even hesitating?" she thought to herself.

Chiding herself silently, Karina gave a small nod. "Sure."
