    “Everything looks normal on your health report.” Dr. Carter’s steady gaze met Cam’s as he spoke.


    Cam furrowed her brows slightly, a hint of barely noticeable tension in her voice. “Really? But why


    do I sometimes feel my heart racing? It’s so intense it feels like it might burst out of my chest?”


    Dr. Carter reviewed the report again carefully, then looked up gently, “My dear, I can assure you,


    there is nothing abnormal in this report.”


    He paused slightly, seemingly choosing his next words carefully. “Have you ever been in love?”


    Cam hesitated. If her rtionship with Tucker counted, then yes. She nodded slightly.


    “Did you feel something simr then?” Dr. Carter continued to probe.


    Cam shook her head firmly.


    Dr. Carter smiled, a glint of understanding in his eyes. “Does this feeling only ur when a certain


    person is around?”


    Cam’s brows knitted together. “Doctor, are you suggesting that this feeling might be a


    physiological response to being infatuated?”


    Well, it seemed to happen mostly around Connor.


    Cam shivered involuntarily. No way. Did she have a crush on her boss?


    That wouldn’t do. Her feelings should only be the kind reserved for a financial benefactor!Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Dr. Carter nodded gently. “Exactly, my dear. The symptoms you’ve described are likely natural


    responses to an attraction. When we encounter someone who draws us in, our body releases


    hormones like adrenaline and dopamine, causing our heart rate to speed up. We even feel a sense


    of inexplicable nervousness.”


    Cam managed a smile. “I see, thank you. I’m relieved the report is fine.”


    Dr. Carter returned the smile warmly.


    As Cam walked down the hospital corridor, images of Connor shed through her mind. He had a


    good physique paired with his impable looks. He was also young, handsome, and wealthy,


    undeniably the type many women would flock to.


    Cam tapped her forehead. He was her boss. She couldn’t harbor inappropriate thoughts! The


    company had a strict no–fraternization policy, and some of her predecessors had been fired for


    lesser transgressions.


    Her life goal was to make money to support her mother. She couldn’t afford to lose her job! Besides,


    Connor didn’t even like her.


    ‘Snap out of it, Cam!‘


    Her phone rang. It was Erica.


    “Where are you? I’ve bought some cupcake ingredients, and I’m now headed to your ce.”


    up?”


    “I’m at Fairmount Hospital. Can you swing by to pick me up?”


    “Hospital? Why are you at the hospital?” Erica’s voice immediately tensed. “What happened? Are


    you feeling alright?”


    Cam quickly exined, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. Just went for a routine check–up, and all indicators


    are normal. No need to panic.” Erica seemed to rx a bit, but her voice still carried a hint of


    urgency. “Alright, stay put. I’m on my way to get you. Don’t wander around. Just wait there.”


    After hanging up, Cam slowly walked toward the hospital lobby.


    In less than half an hour, Erica arrived at the hospital entrance, and Cam bent down to get into


    the passenger seat.


    As soon as Erica saw Cam, her sharp eyes scanned her from head to toe, her face filled with


    concern. “Cam, are you really okay?” Erica’s voice was eager. “You look a bit pale. Are you sure


    you’re not feeling unwell?”


    “I’m really fine. It was just a check–up. Look, here’s the report.” Cam handed the health report to


    Erica.


    Erica took the report, carefully checking each indicator, her brows gradually smoothing, “Hmm,


    indeed, there’s nothing wrong. But what made you decide to get a check–up all of a sudden?”
