Lilian breathed a sigh of relief. The worry in her eyes finally faded a bit.

Looking at her like this, my voice trembled slightly, "You were away for six months and now you're three months pregnant," I paused for a moment, "And now you're carrying someone else's child and still come to me for fetal protection? Did you do this on purpose?"

Lilian was stunned for a moment after hearing me. She finally looked up at me.

Then she actually frowned and nodded, "Is there a problem? You're a top OB-GYN. Only if I come to you can the baby be perfectly safe."

Then she paused, frowning even deeper, "Lucas, can't you stop being so petty?"

"So what if I'm pregnant? I told you Barry has a terminal illness. Before he dies, he just wants a child. I was just doing him a favor. Why are you fussing with someone who's about to die? Can't you stop being so petty? If you keep being so petty, then let's just get divorced!" she threatened.

I clenched my fingers even tighter. I really couldn't understand how she could say something so shameless.

In the past, Lilian always used divorce to threaten me. Because I loved her, I would panic every time she said it.

But not anymore, I looked at her and sneered coldly.

"Fine, let's get divorced!" I said and Lilian was stunned for a moment.

But right then, her phone rang. It was Barry.

Lilian immediately picked up the call, "Don't worry, our baby is fine. Why are you feeling guilty? It's not your fault."

"By the way, didn't you like that latest LV suit and watch? I'll buy them for you, okay? Don't cry, it's breaking my heart ..." Lilian was busy comforting Barry.

She didn't care at all about the divorce I had just brought up. She just kept comforting Barry and didn't spare me even a glance.

My hands and feet slowly turned cold. I closed my eyes and turned to leave the room.

Back in my office, I first asked my dad's lawyer to prepare a divorce agreement. Then I opened my computer to continue planning for upcoming surgeries.

Halfway through, a nurse came in and handed me a bag, "Dr. Kentwood, the dean ordered takeout for you. He said not to go hungry working overtime."

I froze when I saw the takeout, it was from a five-star hotel. I had always loved the food from that hotel.

Back when I celebrated anniversaries with Lilian, she used to go there with me. But ever since Barry came back, we had never gone again. A wave of emotion stirred in my chest.
