After a moment of silence, Marcus suddenly asked, “Do you have any ob-gyn doctor you’re familiar with?”

Josiah and Fredric stared at him wide-eyed like they had seen a ghost.

Marcus scowled and rolled his eyes.

Fredric narrowed his brows. “Can you let him finish first?”

Marcus coughed and said, “I just wanted to ask the doctor what’s good for women’s health.”

Josiah failed to hold himself back this time, spitting whatever he was drinking as he guffawed.

Josiah hooked an arm around his shoulder and chuckled, patting his chest. “Others? No need. I’m the expert!
