With that, Gerard crossed the distance and sauntered close to Michelle again.It was clear that she was affected by his presence based on the shocked expression on her lovely face. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

'Why hadn't I noticed how beautiful she was back then? If I did, wouldn't my life be more colorful?' he thought to himself.

"Gerard, don't you dare go nearer!" Michelle exclaimed frantically.

When he continued his steps, she gathered what documents she could get her hands on from the table and chucked them at him.

"I said stop!" Gerard was able to dodge the papers without any sweat.

"Oh? Getting a bit violent now, aren't we? Is this your way of threatening me?" he asked teasingly with a wolfish grin on his face.

Crossing his arms, he stood still and warned her, "Don't play hard to get with me.That won't work."

"I'm not playing hard to get and I have no plans of being taken by you either.Let me remind you that Calis welfare is the reason why you came here!"

Michelle snapped, hoping to knock some sense into Gerard.It seemed to have worked as his face grew serious.He sat on one of the chairs before her desk to ask solemnly, "How is she doing?"

Michelle rolled her eyes surreptitiously.

'Wow, one minute he was intensely flirting with me, then he's worried for another woman on the next.This is his nature and it shouldn't come as a surprise’' she thought silently to herself.

She schooled her expression so as not to give away an ounce of emotion anymore.

Clearing her throat, she informed him in a business-like manner, "As far as I know, she's taking nutritional supplements, which will actually help her grow stronger.It wouldn't have caused any sort of allergic reaction.Her condition is stable recently.What happened was blown out of proportion, so there's nothing to worry about."

Gerard visibly relaxed upon hearing this good news.

After a beat of silence, he pressed for another question.

"Is the fetus in her womb all right?"

Michelle's head whipped to Gerard's direction.

"Fetus?" she repeated.

She was hugely in disbelief that Cali was pregnant.

When she came to the hospital, her face had a full-on makeup and she was clad in a designer dress and stiletto heels.

Cali looked more like a model gracing a Paris fashion show than a pregnant woman.

Gerard simply nodded in confirmation and replied, "Yes.”

"When she was admitted to VIP ward, she didn't mention that she was pregnant.Besides, I'm her attending physician.Why didn't she tell me something as important as this? No wonder she evaded me each time I tried giving her a general checkup.She always claimed that the chief physician had already done the process,"

Michelle recounted as she felt a sense of disappointment towards Cali.

It dawned on her that the rumors were, indeed, true.

'So Gerard and Cali are really together and their love has already borne fruit.Then how could Gerard do that to me just moments ago?' Michelle felt her temper rising again as she thought of this.

She turned to Gerard and glared at him.

"As a patient, it's her responsibility to be clear about her condition so I can treat her accordingly.Both of you have concealed that vital information from us since she was admitted here, claiming that she's only allergic.I think you and she should be_ held accountable!"

Michelle was neither a person to play the blame game, nor one who would use power and position to earn a leverage.

However, Cali and Gerard weren't completely honest about the pregnancy.

If Michelle had known otherwise, she would have devised another treatment plan to consider the fetus in her womb.

Now Cali was still in the emergency room and they were at a standstill on how to proceed.

Gerard was about to counter Michelle's words when they were interrupted by several warning knocks on the door.

Pushing the door open, George made a passing glance at Gerard then fixed his gaze on Michelle.

"Cali has woken up," he informed her immediately.
