She then looked up at him with a playful smile. “Did you just finish work? I stepped out, and your call came instantly. We really are perfectly in sync, aren’t we?”

Collin let out a low chuckle. He didn’t mention that he had actually been waiting outside the hospital for a while, timing his call right after his men informed him she was about to leave. Even though he knew the truth, he had no intention of disagreeing with her.

“Of course. We’re naturally attuned to each other,” he said smoothly, a teasing glint in his eyes.

Pleased by his response, Linsey leaned into his broad chest, settling comfortably against him.

The car moved at a steady pace, and for a while, neither of them spoke. The quiet hum of the road filled the space, but Linsey’s thoughts had already drifted elsewhere.

She found herself thinking about Jeffery’s sudden diagnosis. The news still weighed on her. After a moment, she murmured, “Collin, Jeffery really does have a blood disorder. The doctor said it’s progressing faster than expected, and they’ll likely need a bone marrow transplant. Carol is the obvious choice, but with her heart condition, they may have to look elsewhere.”

Collin was silent for a second, absorbing the severity of the situation. Linsey, perhaps influenced by her pregnancy, suddenly felt a lingering unease. “Honey, do you think we might ever face something like that? Some unexpected illness we never saw coming? If…”

Collin interrupted her gently. “No, we won’t.”

His hand came up to cradle her head, his touch reassuring. “Don’t overthink things. We’ll be just fine.”

He thought for a moment before suggesting, “If it’s bothering you, how about we go for a full check-up tomorrow? Just for peace of mind.”

Linsey, who had been comfortably nestled against him, stiffened slightly. A full check-up? No way. If they went, her pregnancy surprise would be exposed immediately. Having already mentioned that she had a surprise for him, she couldn’t let Collin find out just yet.

Clearing her throat, she casually replied, “That’s a good idea, but can we wait a little while?”

Collin frowned slightly. “Why? You were just worried a second ago. What changed?”

“I have work tomorrow. I already took time off because of my injury, and today I was busy with clients. I can’t afford to fall behind anymore.”

Collin arched a brow, tapping the tip of her nose lightly. “So work is more important than your health now?”

Linsey laughed. “Not at all! But we can wait a few days. How about after the gala? It’s on Saturday, so it won’t interfere with our schedules. Besides, it’s just a few days away.”
