Crossroads

Chapter 147

“Who are you?” A middle–aged woman with glasses and a white coat held a medical report in the brightly lit, white gynecologist’s office. She glanced at it before turning her stern gaze towards Dominick and Stephanie, who were seated at the desk

To be precise, this head doctor glared at Dominick, her tone far from polite. I’ve never seen you come here with Ms. Reed before. Who are you to her?

Stephanie was taken aback by the sudden shift in demeanor. Why did this doctor seem to dislike Dominick so much!

Dominick’s face darkened slightly, but he didn’t argue with the doctor. Instead, he asked softly. “You have leg cramps at night!”
