“I’m telling you the truth, miss.” The person in charge showed Rayna the inspection checklist as he continued, “We filed a report and requested for repairs the moment we found out. However, the technician said it couldn’t be repaired, so we put in a request to purchase a new one. The request is still pending approval from our superior.”

Rayna took the inspection checklist over and skimmed through it.

This person is telling the truth. They can’t purchase a new surveillance camera without approval from a superior. Could this really just be an accident?

“I’m really sorry! I didn’t see you standing in front! Are you hurt? Shall I have my husband take you to the hospital?” The pregnant woman continued to apologize.

“You think saying sorry is going to fix everything? If you were going to take the elevator, then why didn’t you watch where you were going? You need to be responsible for yourself as well as others! Of course, we need to get her examined at a hospital! I’ll make you both pay dearly if anything happens to my wife!” Carl yelled angrily.

The person in charge was just as shocked by Carl’s words as the married couple.

“Y-You two are…” the pregnant woman stammered while staring at Rayna.

“I’m pregnant too. He’s worried about my babies,” Rayna explained while pulling Carl behind her.

Since the surveillance camera was broken, she didn’t want to waste any more time arguing.

Rayna glanced at the pregnant woman’s tummy and saw her huge baby bump. As a fellow mother, she sympathized with the woman and said, “Since I’m not injured, we can skip the trip to the hospital and forget about this.”

“You can’t just let them walk away like that, Ms. Rayna! She’s the one at fault here!” Carl protested.

“Forget it, Carl. Let’s go,” Rayna said.

Since Rayna had said so, Carl could only pout as he grabbed the bags and walked out of the place wordlessly.

The married couple continued to apologize to Rayna as they left the security room, going as far as offering to pay her some money as compensation.

Rayna shook her head and said with a smile, “It’s fine, really. Judging by the size of your tummy, I’d guess you’re due pretty soon, right? How about we add each other on social media? That way, I could consult you for advice on caring for the baby.”

The pregnant woman froze briefly before replying, “This is my first child, so I don’t know anything either.”
