CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Wilfred pondered briefly after hearing Karina's words. "I'm coming with you. Don't rush to refuse. After what happened last time, I don't think I need to remind you of the situation. If I hadn't been there, leaving the Stone family might not have been so easy." Karina couldn't argue, especially when she remembered Kieran's aggressive demeanor during her last visit. She took a deep breath and smiled faintly. "I'll have to trouble you again, Dr. Wilfred."

Wilfred's lips curved into a faint smile. True to his word, he personally drove Karina to the Stone residence that very day.

As they arrived, Karina stopped at the door. "You can wait here. If things get bad, you can come in."

Wilfred glanced at her phone. "Keep the phone on you."

Karina held it up for him to see. She had already set him as her emergency contact. "If anything happens, I'll call right away."

Prepared, Karina used the key she still had to open the door and walked in.

The moment she stepped inside, Mr. Stone's face darkened. "You've got the nerve to come back? I thought you were dead out there. Your brother said you won't answer calls or give him money. Now that you've made something of yourself at a fancy hospital, you think you can just abandon us, huh?"
