CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1722

Hundred thousand dollars felt like a lifeline.

But if Dr. Wilfred found out about this, there was no way she would be able to keep her job at the hospital.

“Dr. Norman, don’t tell me you want five hundred thousand instead?” Sera pushed, trying every angle to get closer to him.

It was clear she had hit a dead end with Wilfred’s assistant and saw Karina as her last option. If Karina got fired because of this, that would be her problem, not Sera’s.

Karina’s head throbbed. “Look, I need to deal with something urgent right now. We’ll talk about this tomorrow, okay?”

“But you’re going to the director’s office tomorrow, aren’t you?” Sera pressed. “Dr. Norman, we really should settle this now.”

Sera’s relentless chatter was interrupted by Karina’s phone ringing again.

“Karina… the person who deserves to die the most is you! If it weren’t for you, our family wouldn’t have ended up like this!”

The voice on the other end was furious, and all too familiar. Karina felt her scalp prickle, her chest tighten.

“Calm down. I’m on my way. I’ll bring what you want, okay?” she said, forcing her voice to remain steady.

Taking a deep breath, she hung up. Her head was spinning, and she felt like the world was closing in on her.

Desperate, Karina turned to Sera like she was clutching a lifeline.

“You said a hundred thousand, right? Send it to me now, and I’ll take care of it for you tomorrow.”

Sera lit up with excitement. “I’ll transfer it to your account right now.”

Just as she was about to give up, a white luxury car pulled up beside her.

Karina froze, confused until she saw Wilfred in the driver’s seat.

“Get in. I’ll drop you off,” Wilfred said curtly.

After a moment’s hesitation, Karina climbed in. “Thank you, Dr. Wilfred. I couldn’t get a car. My app said I was 49th in line. But don’t worry, I’ll pay you the market rate for the ride.”

A faint smirk tugged at the corner of Wilfred’s mouth. “Do you really think I’m giving you a ride because I need the money?”

“Of course not,” Karina replied quickly. She knew it wasn’t about the money. Wilfred wasn’t the kind of person who would care about a car fare. Still, accepting a favor without reason didn’t sit right with her.

“Where to?” Wilfred asked in a low, steady voice.
