CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Karina might appear frail, with slim arms and legs that seemed as if a single push could knock her over, but Wilfred knew better. He understood just how resilient she truly was.

Others might work hard, but Karina always pushed herself several times beyond that. He often worked late into the night, performing back-to-back surgeries, and every time he left his office, she would still be there, pouring over medical journals long after everyone else had gone home.
