In the hospital corridor, Alissa animatedly shared details of her times with Be to Ste, who listened intently, nodding and smiling in response.


    A few steps away, Lindsay, who was apanying Joann for a physical examination, paused and watched, her gaze fixed on Ste’s cheerful expression.


    Joann followed her gaze and noticed Ste.


    Despite the unfolding scene, Joann hadmitments to keep-she had promised Felix to facilitate a connection between him and Lindsay, and she was also keen on maintaining a favorable impression with Bet.


    She resolved not to stir any further trouble with Ste, especially considering Ste’s pregnancy, which couldplicate matters if any stress-induced issues arose and came to Matthew’s attention.


    Weighing these considerations quietly, Joann decided it was best to avoid confrontation.


    She discreetly shifted her position to obstruct Lindsay’s view of Ste and gently nudged her.


    “It’s almost time for our appointment.


    Come on, let’s go.


    ”


    Lindsay’s brow furrowed.


    She was convinced that Joann had seen Ste.


    Didn’t Joann dislike Ste and wish for her end at the earliest opportunity? What caused her sudden shift in behavior?

    Lindsay was unhappy with Joann’s sudden change.


    However, in these circumstances, Joann was the only ally she could count on.


    Unwilling to sever their partnership, she suppressed her frustration.


    Their thoughts were clearly misaligned.


    Lindsay pointed out carefully, saying, “I think that’s Ste over there.


    I should go over and greet them.


    If I don’t, Grandma will hear of it and scold me for not being friendly enough.

    No matter how skillfully Lindsay masked her intentions, Joann could see right through her.


    Caught in a bind, Joann clutched her stomach and said, “No, I really feel awful.


    Let’s go to the doctor first.


    We can greet them after I’ve been seen.


    ”


    Lindsay examined Joann, trying to discern if she was feigning her difort.


    She was too afraid to take a chance, worried about what might happen to Joann.


    What a waste!


    In her thoughts, Lindsay cursed her but still prioritized taking Joann to see a doctor.


    After the medical check-up and receiving Joann’s medication, they realized Ste had already left.


    This made Lindsay very angry.


    Meanwhile, Joann let out a relieved sigh.


    However, just as they approached the hospital gate, Ste reappeared.


    Joann’s eyebrows knitted together.


    Before she could react, Lindsay was already gripping her arm, pulling her forward to meet Ste.


    “Ste, what a surprise to see you here!”
