Stephanie stared at Sebastian, clearly confused.

Macro frowned with a puzzled look on his face. “What do you mean by that?”

Sebastian turned to him, his expression cold. “How did you treat her?”

Sebastian shot Macro a cold, accusing look. “She might be pregnant. Are you seriously giving her random medicine?”

At that, both Macro and Stephanie froze.

The room was completely still.

Macro’s eyes widened. He stared at Sebastian in disbelief and then looked over at Stephanie.

He slapped his forehead. “Oh, right! Stefi, you might be pregnant!”

‘How did I not think of that sooner?‘ he thought.
