Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Selena's nerves kicked in instantly. "Dr. Carrillo, there's nothing wrong with the baby, is there?"

Everett looked up too, his sharp gaze fixing on Dr. Carrillo. "If there's something to say, just spill it."

"Relax," Dr. Carrillo reassured them first, before taking his time to explain. "The baby's fine, but it's you two who need to worry about yourselves."

"Just look at those dark circles. How many nights have you gone without proper sleep? Pregnant women need to rest well and stay calm. How can you do that if you're plagued by nightmares every night?"

Selena's face fell as she mumbled, "Dr. Carrillo, I want to sleep well, but every time I close my eyes, the nightmares come. I always dream I've fallen, lying there in a pool of blood, and then there's so much blood, and I lose the baby..." "Okay, okay, let's not dwell on that," Dr. Carrillo said, his brow creasing as he tried to comfort Selena. He then turned to Everett, paused a moment, and gave his thoughts.

"Mr. Everett, I can handle physical health issues, but emotional wounds are beyond my expertise."

"Still, from what I've seen over the years, while Mrs. Bennett's case isn't dire, it can't be ignored either. She's just feeling really uneasy about her surroundings. The fix is actually quite straightforward." Everett signaled for him to continue.

Everett felt a pang in his heart, ready to say more when Selena placed her hand over his lips. "Everett, let me finish," she said, her long lashes casting a faint shadow that masked her emotions.

Her voice was soft, "You can't bring yourself to deal with Margot, and you won't send her away. That upsets me, but I'm done pushing you to choose. I just can't stay in the same city as her. Just thinking about her makes me uneasy, afraid she'll suddenly show up and do something to our child."

"Everett, for our child's sake, I'm willing to compromise. I'll leave first and go abroad to wait for you. Wasn't that your plan before?"

Selena's eyes shimmered with sincerity. "Let me go first, okay?"

Whenever she pleaded with him like that, Everett's resolve usually melted, and he'd agree to her wishes.

But letting her leave first...

His brow furrowed as he pulled her hand away, speaking in a low voice, "Every time you leave my side, something happens. I just feel..."

But before he could voice his refusal, Selena's lips met his, silencing him completely.
