Mia pondered for a moment before responding. “I shouldn’t have anything going on. Grandma Laura, is there something you need my help with?”

“Well after narrowly escaping surgery and enduring a tough recovery. I’ve decided to hold a small celebration. I’d love for you and your brothers to join. Are they available?”

Mia was surprised by Laura’s invitation to her brothers.

The moment felt almost surreal; it was hard to believe!

Mia hesitated before saying, “Um, Grandma Laura, I’ll need to check with my brothers first. I’ll let you

know.”

After the call ended, Mia found herself lost in thought even as she ate breakfast.

She couldn’t help but wonder how to bring up the matter with her brothers.

Around noon. Mia suddenly felt a discomfort in her stomach, as if something were kicking inside.

Concerned, she headed straight to the hospital to find Connor.

Upon receiving Mia’s call Connor anxiously waited for her, wheeling a chair along.

“Mia, please sit in this wheelchair. How long have you been feeling this pain? When did it start?”

“Connor, it’s not that serious. I’m just feeling a bit uncomfortable. I don’t think I need a wheelchair; that

seems a bit much.”

“Pregnancy isn’t something to take lightly. Please, sit down first. Let’s wait until you’ve been examined

before jumping to conclusions.

“Fortunately, I have a friend who came to visit me; he’s a highly proficient obstetrician.”

With that, Mia was wheeled into the emergency room. She couldn’t help but notice a young man in a pristine white coat, his features cold and aloof, exuding an ethereal presence.

She was taken aback; when did obstetricians become this attractive? How had she not noticed before?

Connor introduced, “Hey Nick, meet my sister Mia. She’s experiencing some stomach pains. Would you

mind checking on her?”

Mia soon realized that he was the friend Connor had mentioned earlier. She felt herself blush. “Connor, 1-

I think I’d prefer to be examined by the previous doctor.”

“Mia, please don’t be silly. A doctor’s ability is what matters, not their gender.”

Mia felt incredibly awkward. While she had no issue with male doctors, the fact that this was her brother’s close friend made the situation different.

The next moment, the tall, aloof–looking doctor approached her.

He carefully seated her in the wheelchair, holding a sharp surgical scalpel in his other hand. “Don’t worry.

I’m very skilled. You should rethink your decision.”

Nervously, Mia eyed the scalpel in his hand before speaking up, “You know what, upon further consideration, it’s really not an issue. I realize now that I was being superficial earlier.”

“Excellent, that’s the right mindset.” he replied in a languid tone as he wheeled Mia into the examination

room.

“Nicholas, she’s my younger sister. Please, examine her carefully!”

“Hmm, you talk too much.”

Throughout the ordeal, Mia’s toes remained tightly clenched. While Connor’s friend was good–looking, he

had a stern demeanor.

Following the examination, Nicholas removed his gloves and stated, “The fetuses are healthy.”

“Why have I been feeling uncomfortable recently, ther?”

“As the months progress, the babies‘ movements will become more frequent. Your two little ones in there seem especially mischievous.”

Mia let out a sigh of relief. Her discomfort was simply due to the fetal movements. She had feared it was something more serious.

As her anxiety eased, she discreetly stole a glance at the handsome doctor beside her. It seemed that Connor referred to him as “Nicholas“.

Mia stood up from the examination bed, finding that she didn’t need the wheelchair anymore.

Blushing, she murmured, “Thank you.”

Despite this, Nicholas didn’t acknowledge her. Quietly, Mia left the examination room.

Connor was waiting outside, looking worried. “How did it go?”

“It’s nothing serious, just fetal movements.”

Mia also sensed it was a false alarm. Speaking softly, she asked, “Connor, why have you never mentioned this close friend of yours? Is he known for having a temper?”
