Sienna chewed on her lips before combing her hair back to tidy herself up. “Dr. Berry, the Haddock Charity can do things like these. Why do you have to make this request?”
“Ms. Oates, with how the Haddock Group works… I’ll be honest with you. I’m worried.” Ashlyn flashed her a radiating smile.
“Take Naomi’s incident as an example. If Ms. Oates weren’t good with public relations, perhaps… Your charity won’t be around anymore, will it?”
Ashlyn was rubbing salt on her wound.
Sienna paled as she lowered her head.
She was glad that Ashlyn had saved her earlier.
However, they had stood on different sides, and it was impossible for them to be in a league.
Dixon muttered, “Since Dr. Berry has asked for it, it’ll be thirty million and job arrangements.”
Lucas did not understand why Ashlyn was doing it, but he supported her unconditionally anyway.
Upon hearing Dixon’s words, Ashlyn raised her arms lazily and yawned.
She was fatigued, and she nearly fell asleep right where she stood.
It had been a waste of her time and energy to watch the Haddock family’s drama unfold.
She turned, about to leave, when she heard a man’s shout. “Aunt Sienna!”
Ashlyn turned to look in Dixon’s direction to see Sienna sway and collapse onto the ground. Between her legs, a puddle of blood was growing.
It was an alarming sight.
Without wasting another second, Ashlyn rushed over and instructed Spencer, “Call for the nurse and the physician assistant. Quickly!”
It was an alarming sight.
Without wasting another second, Ashlyn rushed over and instructed Spencer, “Call for the nurse and the physician assistant. Quickly!”
Soon, urgent footsteps rushed towards them.
Several nurses and doctors hoisted Sienna up.
With one hand on Sienna’s wrist to check her pulse, Ashlyn announced, “The patient is most likely having a miscarriage. Send her to get an ultrasound. Notify the head of gynecology to prep for surgery.”
“Of course, Dr. Berry!”
It seemed as though chaos had broken out on the scene, but Ashlyn was in control.
Dixon, who had been staring at Sienna’s face, felt as if he was struck by a bolt from the blue, upon hearing the word ‘miscarriage’.
He widened his eyes at Sienna, who was unconscious, and it took him a while before he finally returned to his senses.
“Miscarriage? What did you say?” He grabbed Ashlyn’s arm and stared at her. “How can she be pregnant?”
He had questioned her earlier, and she had simply told him that it was an upset stomach. How can she be pregnant now? Am I going to be a father? Am I going to have a kid? I can have a kid? How can this
be? No. That’s impossible. Dixon closed his eyes in disbelief.
“I’ve studied Traditional Chinese Medicine. She does have the pulse of a pregnant woman.” Ashlyn spared a glance at Dixon before she pushed him away, running towards the ultrasound room.
“Mr. Nolan, what shall we do now?” Spencer carefully peeked at Lucas. Lucas had arrived in a hurry, but Ashlyn had not even paid much attention to him.
She had continued with her usual routine.
She’d ignored Mr. Nolan…
Is he going to be upset?
“What can I do? She’s my honey. I can only let her do what she wants,” Lucas sighed as he stared vacantly at the direction that she left in, “She’s so busy. What if she gets too tired? Spencer, go and…”
“Of course. I understand.” Upon hearing his request, Spencer rushed to work on it.
Tsk. Is Mr. Nolan finally coming to his senses? Is he finally going to spoil her?

At five in the evening.
At the gates of First Hospital, a truck with two words printed on its side—The Peacock—slowly drove into the hospital grounds.
Soon, numerous trolleys were brought down from the truck.
Each trolley was filled with sumptuous and exquisite dishes.
The trolleys were pushed to every floor and every room of the hospital.
Doctors, nurses, patients, and visitors alike had all received dinners from The Peacock, including desserts and appetizers.
