Chapter 65: An Unwelcomed Reporter 

After several days of interacting with the woman, Nina finally discovered Cali's true color off-screen.Like many stars, she was two-faced and she always bossed others around her to do herbidding.Even the doctors and nurses in the hospital weren't spared from Calis bad attitude.The womanhad treated them as if they were her maids.Nina even hoped that tabloid reporters would writesomething defaming about Cali just to frustrate her so she, in turn, could make fun of the woman.

"It's now confirmed that Cali is pregnant, exactly how it was written on the newspaper a few daysago.Could Gerard be the father? Have they been together for a long time? Due to how sensitive theissue is, Gerard sent her to this hospital because he knows you're working here.He thought having youas her doctor would help conceal Cali's true condition so the reporters won't know.That makes sense,right?"

Nina recalled lengthily as she came up with her own assumptions about the real relationship betweenCali and Gerard.

Michelle couldn't help but be amused at Nina's words.Her friend really had a knack for gossip that evenshe could pass for being a reporter.On her end, Michelle didn't care whether Gerard was the father ornot.She wanted to drown out all the fuss and live a quiet peaceful life.Besides, she was alreadysatisfied with the love and care that she was receiving from her maternal family.

How could she want anything more now that she had them by her side? George, who was closelylistening to Nina's tirade, raised his eyebrows and commented in pure sarcasm, "Whoever the father is,it has nothing to do with us anymore.It wouldn't erase the fact that Gerard is a typical playboy."

George was never one to start a rumor, nor was he bitter.He just didn't like how Gerard was stringingMichelle along.

While he didn't know their full story, his feelings for her were enough to keep him worried about howshe was being treated by that man.

George was clueless as to when he began seeing Michelle in a different light.He found himselfwatching her every move and smile, and the next thing he knew, he had fallen for her.

"What are you talking about?" Nina furrowed her brows in confusion.

She wanted to go into detail about what George meant when urgent knocks on the door interruptedtheir conversation.

"Excuse me, I'm looking for Dr.Micheile Mills.Is she around?"

A man donning a black suit stood by the entrance, his eyes in pursuit of the doctor he mentioned.Hisgold-rimmed glasses made him look shrewd.

Michelle vaguely recognized this man although she couldn't put a finger on when she'd first met him.

"Hello, I am Michelle Mills.Is there anything I can do for you?" she greeted instantly as she stood tointroduce herself.

When Michelle walked closer, she became certain that she had already seen this man before.

"Dr.Mills, have you forgotten me so soon?"

The man smiled cockily and stretched his hand to give his business card.

"Well, it's true what they say, great minds have short memories!"

Michelle took the business card and studied it closely.

‘'Patrick Lowe?’' she thought to herself, wondering if she knew someone with that name.

Just then, a light bulb went off in her mind!

"Are you the journalist?" Michelle stared longer at the man in front of her.

She was right, this was the journalist who stopped her at the gate of the hospital the other day andeven offered to bribe her.

His outfit change made him truly unrecognizable.

"Yes, the very same.I'm pleased that you still remember me."

Acting as if he owned the place, Patrick plopped down on one of the chairs and made himselfcomfortable.

Michelle was both alarmed and curious as to how he gained access to the VIP ward.If she rememberedcorrectly, Cali's agent informed her that no reporter was allowed to approach Cali.

Bodyguards were placed at the entrance to make sure no unauthorized persons could come in.

How, then, was Patrick able to go in undetected by the bodyguards or the agent? Since Cali returned tothe VIP ward, Michelle didn't come to see her as she didn't want to, so she had no clue whether Caliwas scheming something.

"What can we do for you?" Nina repeated the question impatiently.

She had the same curious thought as Michelle,’'How did a reporter manage to get into the VIP ward?Was this some kind of a security breach or did Cali plan to cause trouble again?'’
