CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1864

Wendy replied nonchalantly, "About a million or so."

Karina froze on the spot. "Looks like I'm the fool here," she thought to herself.

She had assumed Wendy was talking about a modest amount of pocket money. She had completely forgotten Wendy wasn't an ordinary teenager. Her father was a CEO, and her mother was a designer. Of course, she wasn't going to have "normal" pocket money. Karina's thoughts were a whirlwind of emotions, but in the end, she pushed the card back toward Wendy. "No way. It doesn't matter how much. It's still not right for me to accept it. Doctors can't accept bribes from their patients.

"And since you said there's over a million in this card, there's really no way I can take it. If I did, I'd lose my license, get fired, and probably go to jail."

She exaggerated the consequences just a bit, but not entirely. Accepting bribes could really lead to those outcomes.

Wendy hesitated, clearly rattled by the serious tone. After a moment, she took the card back. "Fine. But if you ever need money, promise you'll tell me."

Karina couldn't help but smile, finding Wendy's response both endearing and amusing.

"I'm a fully capable adult, with a job and everything. I don't need help from someone who hasn't even hit twenty yet. But thanks for the offer," Karina said, her voice full of warmth.
