“Dr. Jameson and his assistant Leah.”

Samantha said while closing the luggage bag she had opened. “Can you finally rest at ease now?”

That answer was completely beyond Rochelle’s expectations and she could not help but let out a loud ‘whoa’.

“Wait a minute. What’s going on here?” Rochelle looked at Samantha curiously, “Wasn’t it that turd Timothy who invited Dr. Jameson here? You’re divorced now. Why would the doctor still take care of you?”

Samantha nodded. “You’re right, Timothy invited him. But...”

She paused before continuing, “…I’ve already sought someone’s help to give Dr. Jameson a heads-up.”

The reason Vincent would eventually agree to come over to treat her was partly because he was moved by the conditions Timothy gave, and partly because of Alan.

“Who could possibly be so influential that they were able to give Dr. Jameson a heads-up for you?” Rochelle blurted out, but before Samantha could answer, she suddenly thought of something and asked directly, “Is it Dr. Sherwood?”

“You’re smart, Chelle!” Samantha teasingly gave her a thumbs-up.

“How difficult could it be? I can count the people you know on one hand,” Rochelle replied.

Her eyes rolled in her eye sockets and a curious glimmer flashed in the bottom of her eyes. She asked nosily, “Then why did Dr. Sherwood invite Dr. Jameson?”

“Well, Dr. Jameson is Dr. Sherwood’s uncle.”

“...You’ve got to be joking?” Rochelle could not hold herself back. “It appears I’ve underestimated Dr. Sherwood. He seems to have it all taken care of, considering how he comes from a medical family.”

Despite his young age, he was already well-known as the famed Little St. John when it came to cardiology. His uncle, on the other hand, was a pioneer in the field of gynecology. Perhaps his other family members specialized in other medical fields too.

A good prospect with a bright future!

She nudged Samantha’s arm with her elbow and smiled cheekily, “Is Dr. Sherwood single?”

Samantha was lost for words.

Rochelle ignored Samantha’s speechlessness and continued, “I used to have this feeling that he was interested in you, but now I can be sure that he’s definitely interested in you!”

Just how much sentiment did Alan have to convince Vincent into spending months to take care of Samantha despite having a busy schedule?

Samantha massaged her eyebrows and explained, “Chelle, we’re just good friends.”

“Save it! If Dr. Sherwood is a woman, I could’ve believed that she’d treat you like how I treat you—as a good friend who was willing to do all that unconditionally for you. But he’s a man. I do not believe that a man who does things for you unconditionally is not secretly in love with you!” Rochelle asserted.

Of course, many men and women had an exceptionally good, purely platonic relationship.

According to what Samantha had told her, she intuitively felt that Alan was in love with Samantha.

Samantha did not know how to answer.

Her feelings had been completely devoted to Timothy and she really did not pay much attention to any hints shown by other men.

Moreover, she and Alan had always been good friends who maintained a respectable distance.

Alan never said anything ambiguous or behaved transgressively toward her, so there was no justification for her to have the assumption that he liked her.

She could never dare to go through something similar again after making the same assumptions about Timothy and ending up being hurt!

“Enough, Chelle. Alan deserves a better girl. Please don’t talk about it anymore.”

She could no longer have feelings for anyone else and her sole focus was her baby. She probably would not fall for any man in the future and it was enough that she could see her baby being delivered safely and raised well.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Rochelle saw that expression and immediately knew what Samantha was thinking. She hurriedly held Samantha’s shoulder and restrained her teasing tone before saying earnestly, “Sammy, I’m just worried that you’ll guard your heart too much from now on. I don’t want you to be unwilling to see other beautiful things in this world.”

“Timothy is a scumbag, but that doesn’t mean that other men in this world are scumbags too. You can still consider it if you meet a good man in the future, although it won’t necessarily be Dr. Sherwood. You have a long life ahead of you. If you can’t get rid of your pain, you’ll be living a very painful life.”

She was cocooning herself just like that.

She did not want to let herself go and kept fighting with Jonathan. In the end, neither were able to enjoy their life.

Rochelle really did not want Samantha to follow her path because it was a very hard one.

“I understand what you mean, Chelle.” Samantha smiled warmly. “I’ll work hard. I don’t want to be trapped in place because of Timothy.”

Even if she knew that Samantha was probably just saying that to comfort her, she still laughed, although there were a couple of tears in her smiling eyes. “That’s good. At least one of us has to be happy.”

Rochelle hugged Samantha, took a deep breath, and said, “I feel less worried if Dr. Jameson is taking care of you. Your pregnancy will be much further along once you settle down in another three months. I’ll find a way to escape from Jonathan and come find you. I want to be there with you while we wait for the baby to come into this world.”

Samantha did not refuse. “Okay. Let’s welcome the baby together.”

…

Three days later, it was time for Harmony to visit Vincent for a follow-up consultation. When she arrived at the hotel, however, she discovered that Vincent and Leah had already checked out and left that morning.

She had a bad feeling in her heart and wondered just where did Vincent go and why he did not say a word to her.

Harmony immediately picked up her cell phone and called the doctor.

Her call was answered after some time and she asked eagerly, “Dr. Jameson, why did you check out of the hotel? Where are you?”

Vincent replied, “I’m going home.”

“What? Didn’t you say you’d stay here for some time? Our treatment has just started, how could you just leave?”

If Vincent was gone, she would not be able to receive treatment and would never be able to give Timothy a baby!

Harmony was very agitated. “Where are you now, Dr. Jameson? I’ll find you and discuss this with you in person!”

In any case, she had to convince Vincent to stay and treat her!

“I’m at the airport right now. My flight is in an hour. If you can make it, then by all means.”

‘An hour?’

It took at least an hour for Harmony to get to the airport from where she was.

In the end, Harmony gritted her teeth. “Fine. I’m going over right now. Please wait for me!”

Harmony drove to the hotel that day, so she ended the call and walked out quickly before getting into the car. She then started the engine and slammed the accelerator as the car sped off!
