Michael had already changed into his doctor’s white coat. He glanced at Charles, who was pushing the wheelchair, without much concern, then frowned at me and said, “Athena, what are you doing at the hospital? Why didn’t you answer my calls?”Â
I replied coolly, “I was busy.”Â
Michael seemed to think of something and sighed, “Athena, you’re too clingy, and it puts me in a difficult position. I need some personal space too.”Â
Just as I was about to speak, Charles cut in, “Then you can move out of Ms. Mitchell’s house. That way you’ll have complete freedom.”Â
Only then did Michael look at Charles and ask, “Who are you? What gives you the right to speak here?”Â
Charles didn’t back down, “I’m your competition, and I’m here to replace you.”Â
Michael’s expression instantly darkened, “Athena, I know you’re angry because I don’t support your pregnancy, but there’s no need to hire some male nurse just to spite me.”Â
Charles was about to say something, but I raised my hand to stop him.Â

Since the new guy had arrived, there was no need to keep the old one around.Â
I said calmly to Michael, “I’ve already had someone pack up your things. You need to move out today.”Â
Michael’s face turned ugly, his voice filled with anger, “Athena, don’t talk to me like that. I’ve already seen your marriageÂ
application. Given how much you love me, I can marry you, but don’t expect to have children.”Â
That’s when I remembered I’d forgotten to put away the marriage registration form.Â
I gently touched my belly and said cheerfully, “I already have a child. You can go now.”Â
Michael stared at me in disbelief and shouted, “Impossible! How could you be pregnant?”Â
Then his expression changed again, as if he’d figured me out, “Athena, I never thought you were that kind of woman. You actually tampered with the condoms, didn’t you? You just want to use a baby to force me into marriage. Let me tell you the truth – what I feel for you is more like a doctor’s sympathy for a patient. Given that you invested money to help me open this clinic, I won’t hold it against you. I don’t like children, so you have to get rid of this baby.”Â

I had originally just wanted to end our relationship peacefully. After all, we used to be employer and employee – there was no need to make things ugly.Â
But Michael had gone too far and crossed my line.Â
I said with a stern expression, “Who are you? What right do have to interfere with my child?”Â

Michael replied self-righteously, “I’m your boyfriend, the father of your child. Of course I have the right!”Â
I laughed coldly, “You were never my boyfriend. Stop flattering yourself.”Â
By now, quite a crowd had gathered around us.Â
Michael was furious at my words, his face turning red.Â
As the youngest and most capable doctor in the hospital, he couldn’t stand people gossiping about him.Â
Michael pointed at me and cursed, “Who do you think you are? You’re nothing but a cripple. If you hadn’t paid me, you never would have gotten a taste of a man. A child? That place of yours has probably grown cobwebs by now! Women who chase after men are the most pathetic!”Â

Michael was about to continue his tirade when Charles punched him in the face.Â
He followed up with several more punches, beating Michael until he screamed.Â
I quickly intervened, “Don’t kill him.”Â
Charles said, “I’m a professional. I know exactly where to hit for maximum pain without killing anyone.”Â
That’s when I remembered Charles was also a doctor.Â
I breathed a sigh of relief, “Good.”Â
After Michael caught his breath a bit, he looked at Charles and me with both fear and rage, gritting his teeth as he said, “Athena, you’re actually cheating on me. This man is your lover, isn’t he? You slut!”Â
I had Alice hold back Charles, who wanted to keep beating Michael, then said emotionlessly, “We only had an employer-employee relationship. You were a ‘male service provider’ and nanny I hired, and I was the one paying you. Cheating? You didn’t actually think we were dating, did you?”Â
Alice stood beside me and added professionally, “Ms. Mitchell is an investor who never makes losing deals. The money she transferred to you each month was simply payment for yourÂ

As if suddenly remembering something, he regained his confidence, “You’re already pregnant with my child. As long as you beg me and give me another 50 million dollars as an apology fee, I might take pity on you and marry you.”Â
