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 stunned. Usually, the Wellingtons‘ servants accompanied her to prenatal checkups. This was the first time Dominick had come along. but why was this gynecologist so hostile!

She was a bit worried and stole a glance at Dominick, who was beside her. Fortunately, he hadn’t lost his temper.

“We’re married. I’m her husband.” Dominick replied coolly.

“Husband? You’re her husband! Why are you only showing up now? Where have you been all this time?” The gynecologist slapped the report onto the table with a bang, her dissatisfaction with Dominick evident. “People who don’t know any better might think Ms. Reed is a single mother. Men are so unreliable…

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!”
