If Michael were professional enough to maintain his act well— whether in front of other people or in front of me-he could keep this high-paying job for life.
The man in that photo earlier really caught my interest.
And Alice told me this person had submitted his resume three times, repeatedly stating he’d accept half the salary.
His monthly salary is only $50,000, which is quite a bargain.
When Michael returned, I couldn’t smell any alcohol on him, and he had changed his clothes.
As soon as he walked in, he hugged and kissed me, his voice full of apology: “I’m sorry, I had surgery tonight and kept you
waiting.”
I have to admit, Michael’s acting skills aren’t bad.
Looking at his affectionate eyes and sincere tone, if I hadn’t seen that video, I really would have continued our long-term
arrangement.
Seeing the baby product descriptions displayed on my laptop, a flash of disgust crossed Michael’s eyes.

But he said: “Athena, I know you want a baby. But pregnancy would be too much of a burden on your body-I don’t want to lose you.”
I only replied coldly: “Oh.” Then ignored him completely.
After all, he’s an employee who’s about to be fired-not worth wasting words on.
Michael kissed me again and said gently: “It’s okay if we don’t have a baby. Having you as my ‘baby’ is enough for me. I’ll go run you a bath and carry you in for a soak in a bit.”
With that, Michael went upstairs.
I texted Alice: [Schedule my prenatal appointment for tomorrow.]
My period is already late, so I might be pregnant, but it’s better to get checked at the hospital.
Thinking that tomorrow I might see the test results for my baby made me feel great.
So when facing Michael, I even had a few more smiles.
As usual, after Michael applied body lotion, he massaged my legs.

Since he used to be my attending physician, his massage technique is quite professional.
Over these past two years, my leg muscles haven’t atrophied too severely, and my skin has been kept smooth and supple.
If you ignore the fact that he’s constantly checking his phone, he’s a decent caregiver.
After Michael carried me to bed, he kissed my forehead: “You sleep first. I need to handle some paperwork and I’ll be back
soon.”
At the desk in his study, Michael was on the phone: “Sarah, don’t worry, I won’t let Athena get pregnant with my child. Only you can bear my children. She’s just a disabled person-how can she compare to you? You’re the only one I love.” Sarah Phillips is his stepsister.
By the time Michael returned to the bedroom, I was already asleep.
Early the next morning, Alice came to take me to the hospital for my prenatal checkup.
When we left, Michael was still sleeping. After he woke up, he discovered the marriage registration appointment form I had forgotten to put away.

As a hospital investor, I used the hospital’s special access for my prenatal checkup.
Aside from the director Gabriel Morris and the doctor
performing my checkup, no one knew I was pregnant.
Looking at the pea-sized little baby on the test report, the more I looked, the more I loved it.
Alice said: “Ms. Mitchell, the person you want to interview has arrived. He’s downstairs.”
I was a bit surprised: “So soon?”
Alice replied: “He also works at this hospital—just transferred here.”
When I looked at this person’s resume on my tablet yesterday, I only knew he was a doctor. I didn’t expect to meet him at this hospital.
I carefully put away the prenatal report and said to Alice: “Then let’s go down and meet him.”

Alice pushed my wheelchair into the elevator. As soon as the elevator doors opened, I saw a tall, upright figure.
He was wearing scrubs, and upon seeing me, he broke into a brilliant smile and proactively greeted me: “Ms. Mitchell, hello.

I’m Charles Morris, your new Life Assistant.”

Alice pushed me into the private room, gesturing for Charles to follow.
After closing the door, I asked Charles: “Since you’re already a doctor, why do you want to be my Life Assistant?”
Charles was very direct: “Ms. Mitchell is both wealthy and beautiful-who wouldn’t want to skip twenty years of struggle? Whatever Michael can do, I can do, and I’ll do it better.”
I was very satisfied with Charles.
Compared to Michael using deep affection to mask his desire for money, I much prefer this straightforward transactional relationship.
Charles introduced his background in great detail, not even leaving out which kindergarten he attended.
I handed him a contract: “I’ll try you out for a month first. If you qualify, we can work together long-term.”
Charles didn’t even read the contract contents-he cheerfully signed his name right at the signature line.
After I put away the contract, I asked him: “Aren’t you afraid I’m deceiving you?”

Charles laughed heartily: “Ms. Mitchell, you’re the famous Investment Queen. I trust your character. Besides, I’m just an ordinary doctor-there’s nothing worth deceiving me about.”
I smiled and had him take Alice’s place, pushing my wheelchair
out.
While I was interviewing Charles, Michael called me several times, which I hung up on directly.
Just as we stepped outside, I ran into Michael.
