Meeting You Was Fate

Mandy arranged for Fiona's examination, having been acquainted with the director of the department of obstetrics and gynecology.

Dr. Cai was a female doctor in her early forties with a calm demeanor. She wore a pair of glasses and exuded an elegance befitting of her white coat.

"Doctor Zhou, oh sorry, I mean, Mrs. Jin," Dr. Cai greeted as she lifted her eyes and pushed the frame of her glasses.

In spite of the doctor's amicable air, Fiona remained uneasy. The lines of her face were stiff as she and Mandy entered the doctor's office.

"Long time no see, Doctor Cai," Mandy returned the greeting warmly.

"To what do I owe this pleasure, Mand? There must be something important," the doctor inquired. Dr. Cai picked up a cup of tea and took a slow sip. She had been working in this hospital for eighteen years and had witnessed how it had grown to one of the most reputable institutions in the field of medicine.

Being a doctor was an honorable job, but it had many demands. There were patients day in and day out, each with their own needs and concerns.

In her long career, Doctor Cai had always been faithful to her oath. She did everything she could for her patients, but she had her own principles. There were two things that she refused to do, no matter how much money was on the table. The first was early cesarean for pregnant women who wanted their children to be born on a specific date. Second, abortion.

With her experience, it only took one look at Fiona's face for her to know that the woman was pregnant.

"My sister vomited last night. We guessed that she might be pregnant, and we came here to make sure," Mandy explained.
