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.

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.

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.
