Thankfully, Daphne was quite eloquent in showering Whitney with praises.

Noticing the change in Whitney’s expression, Daphne knew she had to seize the opportunity. “Ms.

Whitney’s eyes flickered. “You’ve done your homework on me, haven’t you, Ms. Everhart?”
“Oh, no, please don’t take it the wrong way. Besides, I’m not capable of that either. Ms. Spears, since the banquet hasn’t begun yet, perhaps we
could have a private chat?” Daphne asked.
Given t
the extremely personal nature of the topic, it was best not to discuss it in front of others.
After sizing them up for a while and assessing the situation, Whitney nodded. “All right. Let’s head over there.”
Daphne and Lysander exchanged nces before joining Whitney in a quiet corner of the hall where they could converse without worrying about being di
Whitney continued scrutinizing Lysander with a thoroughness that suggested she doubted thetter’s expertise due to her age or perhaps harbored som
Throughout their conversation, Lysander maintained herposure and carried herself with confidence, unfazed by Whitney’s scrutiny.
“Dr. Thorne, your name seems familiar to me. It feels like we’ve met before,” Whitney said.
Lysander responded, “I worked in the obstetrics and gynecology department at the Central Hospital for quite some time. You may have seen me if you’ve

Whitney paused, considering for a moment. “I have visited Central Hospital a few times, but I believe I met

Whitney, however, remarked, “I would have walked away carlier instead of standing here chatting with you if you were merely Ms. Everhart’s friend.”

That was why Whitney believed it was unlikely that doctors from numerous major hospitals would all make the same diagnostic error.
After all, they had collectively confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her reproductive health.

It seemed Whitney had anticipated that question. She gently shook her head and answered, “My husband has undergone just as many tests as I have, a
