"Your liver fire is a bit excessive, and you have quite a bit of dampness, but it’s not a big problem. A few doses of medicine should do the trick," the doctor said while writing the prescription. Ava Sterling felt relieved. She didn’t want to get sick; illness affects work, and it’s a pain to deal with. Plus, she was afraid of dying. Life is beautiful, and she didn’t want to die. She wanted to live well, healthily, happily, and freely. The doctor checked her and found no major health issues, making her feel particularly reassured. "Okay, thank you, doctor." After writing the prescription, the doctor advised Ava, "Try not to stay up late at night, and sleep before eleven if possible. Staying up late harms the liver and kidneys, and over time, it can cause significant damage to the body." The doctor knew young people often sleep late, and what he said might not make a difference. But as a doctor, he had to fulfill his duty, regardless of whether the patient would heed his advice. Ava’s expression immediately became serious, and she solemnly said, "Okay, I’ll definitely try to sleep before eleven." "Alright, everything’s settled on my end." The doctor closed his medical bag and left. Ava Sterling stood up: "Thank you for today, doctor." Ava said to Lauren Howell, "See the doctor out." Lauren nodded, "Okay." "Doctor, I’ll take you downstairs." The doctor nodded and left the makeup room, with Lauren following him out. At this moment, the alarm clock rang. Ava closed the book, took her phone, turned off the alarm, and checked the time; it was almost time for her class. Ava felt solemn inside. She thought that when Poe Vaughn returned, she needed to talk to him about not staying up late. Both of them should be in bed by eleven. This is good for their health. She certainly didn’t want to die young. Of course, her own work schedule needed adjusting; she couldn’t keep going to bed so late. Health is the most important thing; money can’t buy health. She had understood this long ago. Having made up her mind, Ava didn’t delay further and left the makeup room to go downstairs and attend her class. Lauren personally saw the doctor to the company’s entrance, watched him get into his car and leave, then returned. She went straight back to Ava’s makeup room to talk to her about the matter of health and work, reminding Ava to balance rest with work and not to push herself so hard. She was afraid Ava would forget the past dangers as soon as she started working, so she needed to remind Ava. However, when she returned to the makeup room, Ava was already gone. Lauren paused, then looked at her watch; it was almost nine, and Ava had gone to her class. She’ll talk to Ava about it at noon. With this in mind, Lauren left the makeup room and went about her own busy tasks. She had a lot of things to do. Once the doctor got into the car, he took out his phone and called Quentin Quinn. Chapters first released on N0veI.Fiɾe.net He needed to report the situation here in detail to Mr. Vaughn. Soon, the call was connected, and Quentin’s voice came through, "How is my wife?" Quentin asked directly, without even a greeting, showing just how seriously he took this matter. The doctor had previously treated Ava Sterling and was fully aware of her importance to Poe Vaughn, so he wasn’t surprised by Quentin’s question. The doctor said, "Mrs..." He detailed Ava Sterling’s condition to Quentin without omitting anything. Quentin listened carefully, remembering every word the doctor said, then replied, "I understand. Have the medicine prepared and brewed, and call me. I’ll arrange for someone to deliver the medicine to the lady." After the call ended, the doctor put down his phone, took out the prescription, and sent a picture of it to his assistant, instructing them to prepare the medicine. Having completed these tasks, the doctor closed the prescription and put it away. And at that moment, his phone rang. The doctor’s hand paused, then he picked up the phone to see who was calling. Upon seeing the caller ID, he immediately answered, "Hello." Sharon Sheridan’s voice came through the phone, not the usual voice of Yvonne, which caused the doctor to tense up a bit. He spoke, his voice respectful, "Madam." The doctor served as the Vaughn family’s private physician. Of course, he had his own work, but he mostly attended to the Vaughn family. If someone in the Vaughn family felt unwell, he would visit them, especially Sharon Sheridan. He was very familiar with Sharon’s health status, regularly conducting check-ups and diagnosing her condition. He would always coordinate with Yvonne for these appointments. He had Yvonne’s contact information, but it seemed this was the first time Sharon called him directly instead of Yvonne. Upon hearing the doctor’s voice, Sharon asked directly, "Dr. Cheng, how is my granddaughter-in-law’s health? Is she pregnant?" After getting in the car, Sharon had Yvonne call Mrs. Wei. She personally inquired about the situation, and Mrs. Wei told Sharon everything she knew, including Ava Sterling’s discomfort, the call to Poe Vaughn, and Ava’s appetite and complexion; all these tiny details were shared. After understanding the situation, Sharon had Yvonne call the doctor. She checked the time and knew that the doctor must have seen Ava by now. After all, Mrs. Wei called Poe immediately. Considering how much Poe cared for Ava, he surely would handle the matter swiftly, so there was no room for delay. Therefore, as soon as the call connected, she asked straightaway without any beating around the bush. The doctor was surprised for a moment, evidently not expecting Sharon to ask about this. However, he quickly grasped her meaning and said, "So far, she isn’t. Mrs. Vaughn’s health is somewhat compromised, but it’s not a serious issue." The doctor explained Ava Sterling’s health status in detail to Sharon. Listening to this, Sharon felt a moment of disappointment. She also knew that it was unlikely for Ava to be pregnant right now. Poe’s intentions were clear, and since Poe was always thorough, if he wasn’t ready for a child yet, then it was out of the question for Ava to be expecting now. And such surprises are left to fate, with no telling. So while she hoped Ava’s discomfort was a sign of pregnancy, she was prepared for the possibility it wasn’t. Despite being prepared, hearing the definitive words from the doctor still left Sharon feeling deeply let down. Not being pregnant was truly disappointing. Poe wasn’t young anymore and ought to have a child. She really didn’t want Poe to have a child when he was much older, as it would be difficult for a child to grow up while he was already aging. Though her heart longed for her wish to come true, Sharon had no choice but to face reality at this moment. She said, "I see. Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Cheng." "It’s no trouble; it’s my duty." Without saying more, Sharon ended the call, her face full of disappointment. Seeing Sharon , Yvonne didn’t need to ask to know the answer. She said, "Don’t worry. The young lady is healthy and young. Having a child is just a matter of time; no need to worry." Yvonne tried to comfort Sharon, hoping she would ease her grip on the matter. Sharon handed the phone back to her and sighed.
