CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Even though Karina dismissed the situation lightly, it didn't stop the rumors from spreading around the hospital.

Gossip sprang up out of nowhere, speculating that she had a personal relationship with Wilfred and had only gotten her opportunity through backdoor connections. The details were so vivid, it almost seemed believable. Yvette was furious. "Seriously? If they're jealous, they should just admit it. Why do they have to sneak around and spread petty rumors behind your back?"

Karina, however, remained calm and even comforted her. "Don't be upset. Here, have some tea to soothe your throat."

She handed Yvette a cup of tea from a recent online purchase. It was advertised as premium oolong tea, though she wasn't sure how good it really was since she hadn't tried it yet. This seemed like the perfect chance to give it a taste. Yvette, coaxed into it, took a sip. Smacking her lips, she suddenly realized something was off. "Hey, they're talking about you! Aren't you even a little mad?"

Karina shook her head. "What's there to be angry about? I've heard it all before."

If anything, hearing the rumors almost felt nostalgic. Back when she was working at a hospital in Birkham, people were saying she had special ties to Wilfred, and the gossip back then was even nastier. She had grown used to it, so it didn't bother her anymore. Yvette looked at her with a newfound sense of pity and gently patted her head. "Poor thing, taking all this nonsense in stride. You're too good, sweetie."

"Get out of here," Karina replied with an exaggerated eye roll. After spending so much time together, they were past the stage of formal politeness.

"Oh, right," Yvette said, suddenly remembering. "Aren't your results supposed to come out today?"
