CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1867

Although Karina found out a little earlier than planned, it didn’t make much of a difference.

She beamed with excitement. “So, I’ll go home and start packing today?”

“You can. Also, take a look at this.” Wilfred slid a folder across the desk. “It’s the profile of the company we’ll be visiting.”

Karina picked it up and flipped through a few pages, muttering to herself, “HeShare Pharmaceuticals... Doesn’t really sound like an international company.”

Wilfred nodded. “It’s not. It was actually founded by two Birkhamese entrepreneurs. One of them, the chairman, Mr. Hall, had a stroke last year. Since then, the company’s operations have been handed over to his son-in-law.”

“What about the vice-chairman?” she asked, curious.

“He’s been uninvolved for years. You don’t need to worry about him.” Wilfred’s expression gave nothing away, his tone steady.

Karina shrugged, uninterested in company politics. What she really cared about was whether their groundbreaking cancer drug was as effective as the buzz suggested.

HeShare Pharmaceuticals had been around for decades, focusing on drug research and development. Recently, they announced a breakthrough—an anti-cancer drug.

Cancer, a modern medical enigma, remains difficult to cure. Early-stage or benign cases might respond to treatment, but late-stage cancer is often fatal.

In just the few months Karina had worked at the hospital, she had seen more than a dozen cancer patients, a stark reminder of its rising prevalence. That was why, when she first heard about the project, she had been so eager to be part of it.

“Read through the materials tonight. Tomorrow afternoon, we head to the airport,” Wilfred instructed.

Karina nodded, standing up to leave. Just as she reached the door, she paused.

Wilfred noticed. “Is there something else?”

After a moment’s hesitation, she asked, “Would it be okay if I bring someone along?”

After all, it was Wilfred himself who had agreed to let her tag along on this trip. So why the sudden cold shoulder?

Confused, she shared her thoughts with Karina, who seemed just as puzzled. Karina gave it a moment’s thought, her gaze drifting toward Wilfred’s figure ahead of them.

Then, with a knowing look, she leaned in and said softly, “Maybe it’s just one of those ‘men are impossible to figure out’ things.”

Yvette’s eyes widened as if everything suddenly made sense. “Oh, that’s it!”

When they reached the security checkpoint, they placed their luggage on the conveyor belt. Having packed appropriately, the process went off without a hitch.

As they boarded the plane, Yvette glanced at her ticket and let out a sharp gasp.

“Business class? This is my first time flying anything but economy! This must’ve cost a fortune!”
