Nicholas was unusually gentle today. He didn't push Cassandra away and instead comforted her. It was hard to tell whether he was doing it for Cecilia's benefit or Jocelyn's.

Jocelyn stood silently beside Cecilia, watching the scene unfold without saying a word.

At that moment, the doctor came out and addressed everyone present. "The surgery went well, but whether the child can survive depends on the next few days. We need to monitor for any signs of rejection."

"Thank you, doctor."

After sending the doctor off, everyone remained uneasy.

Cecilia and Vivian stayed for a while longer before deciding to leave.

On the way back, Vivian was consumed with conflicting emotions.

She had initially wanted to terminate the pregnancy, but after seeing Dahlia in the ICU, she started to waver.

Every child deserves a chance to live. I can't be too selfish, but what if Zachary doesn't want the child?

"Ceci, can you keep my pregnancy a secret for now? Don't tell Zachary."

Cecilia didn't understand why she didn't want Zachary to know, but she nodded and agreed.

"Okay."

After dropping Vivian off, Cecilia returned to the office.

The moment she walked in, she saw Eric and the others waiting in her office.

"Ceci, you rushed out earlier. Is everything okay?"

Cecilia assured them, "It's nothing. Vivian needed me, so I went to check on her."

"That's good to hear," everyone said, relieved.

Eric lingered in the office even after the others had left, showing no intention of leaving.

"Ceci, did you see the news previously?"

News?

Cecilia recalled the gossip Miranda had shown her-rumors that Eric liked men.

Feeling a bit awkward, she nodded.

Eric quickly tried to clarify. "Ceci, let me tell you, I'm a perfectly normal man. I absolutely don't like men." Cecilia couldn't help but smile. "Yes, I understand."

Seeing her smile, Eric felt that she didn't truly believe him.

"How can I prove it to you?"

"There's no need to prove anything. I believe you," Cecilia replied, not realizing how serious the situation was for him.

Seeing her indifferent attitude, Eric became even more convinced that she didn't believe him. "Ceci, actually there's someone I like."

"That's great," Cecilia said, completely unaware of who he was referring to.

Eric clenched his fists as if gathering his courage, and then said, "Actually, that person is " Before he could finish, there was a knock at the door.

Annoyed, Eric glanced at the doorway.

Charlotte quietly opened the door and peeked in. "Are you two still talking?"

Feeling uncomfortable being alone with Eric, Cecilia immediately said, "We're done."

"Perfect," Charlotte said as she walked in. "Boss, please take a look at these files."

Eric stood aside, realizing this wasn't the time to continue the conversation. He decided to bring it up again later.

Not long after he returned to his office, Eric received a phone call from his parents who gave him a lecture.

"Eric, do you really have some sort of psychological problem?"

"Son, if you really like men, you need to go to the hospital and get treatment. Don't delay," Ines pleaded earnestly. "If it can't be cured, we'll accept it, but don't stay single forever."

Eric was on the verge of tears. "I've told you already. It's just rumors."

"Then hurry up and find someone to marry," his parents urged, seamlessly transitioning to nagging him. about marriage.

Eric had no choice but to concede. "I know, I have plans. Don't worry about it."

He ended the call.

Alan and Ines stared at the disconnected call, silently forming their own plans. 6.7K
