Samantha raised her head slightly and looked up at him. “Who is it?”

Timothy smiled without saying a word. He reached out to carry Samantha and walked straight to the bathroom.

Samantha did not struggle and immediately wrapped her arms around his neck to keep her balance. She knocked her forehead gently on his and complained, “Still keeping me in suspense?”

Timothy helped Samantha wash up before carrying her out again. He subsequently helped her to change her clothes before they went out together.

About 40 minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel that Timothy frequented whenever he did not stay at home.

After getting out of the car, Timothy threw the car key to the valet beside him. Holding Samantha’s hand, he led her into the hotel and took the elevator upstairs.

When they arrived at the door of his exclusive suite, Timothy did not swipe his keycard to enter but knocked on the door politely instead.

Footsteps were soon heard behind the door and it duly swung open.

The first thing that caught Samantha’s eye was a bespectacled, slightly chubby girl. Samantha then glanced subconsciously at Timothy.

A girl? In his exclusive suite?

Before Timothy could say anything, the girl smiled and greeted them first. “Hello, Mr. Barker.”

After a pause, she looked at Samantha and said courteously, “This must be Mrs. Barker. Nice to meet you.”

Samantha snapped back to her senses and smiled. “Hi.”

The girl turned around and said, “Do come in, Mr. and Mrs. Barker.”

Timothy wrapped his hand around Samantha’s waist and led her into the room.

Standing at the floor-to-ceiling windows was an old, gray-haired man. He turned around after hearing their footsteps and looked over.

As soon as Samantha laid eyes on that old man, she instantly recognized who he was.

After all, she had seen his profile and photos before.

It was none other than Dr. Vincent Jameson, a famous gynecologist.

He appeared quite energetic despite his age, probably because he exercised frequently to keep his body in good shape. He stood tall and did not look frail.

Timothy looked at Samantha and introduced her softly, “This is Dr. Jameson. The girl from earlier was his assistant, Leah Smith.”

After saying that, he turned to Dr. Jameson again and said, “Professor, this is my wife, Samantha Larsson.”

Samantha took two steps forward and greeted respectfully. “Hello, Dr. Jameson. It’s an honor to meet you.”

Vincent was very kind and did not put on any airs. He walked up to Samantha and smiled in return, “Mrs. Barker, a pleasure to meet you.”

The two of them shook hands politely.

All four individuals sat on the sofa. Timothy and Samantha sat on one side with Vincent and Leah sitting on the other.

Vincent said, “Mrs. Barker, I was invited here by Mr. Barker and will be staying in Capital City for a week. I’ll be treating you so that you’ll be able to carry your baby safely in the future. I hope you’ll be able to stay here during this period so I can observe you at all times.”

Samantha nodded. “Okay, I’ll cooperate.”

Timothy then said, “Dr. Jameson, please don’t hesitate to let me know if there’s anything you need during this time. I’ll make sure to arrange it. You don’t need to be so courteous.”

Vincent smiled. “Your sincerity is enough, Mr. Barker. You can be assured that I’ll do my best after accepting this responsibility.”

“Thank you.” Timothy expressed his solemn and sincere appreciation in those two words.

Since Vincent had just arrived in the country, the comprehensive health examination was scheduled for the coming day. After everyone was introduced to each other, Vincent and Leah went back to their room to rest.

Timothy then drove Samantha to work.

There were traffic jams everywhere since it was already rush hour, so the car had to slow down at frequent intervals.

Samantha turned around to look at the man in the driver’s seat and thought for a while before asking, “That so-called business trip you went on two days ago was actually to invite Dr. Jameson?”

“Yes.”

“But as far as I know, Dr. Jameson has mostly been engaging in medical research and no longer sees any patients. How did you convince him?”

After a pause, she remembered Vincent’s words and said, “Dr. Jameson mentioned that your sincerity was enough. What sort of sincerity could make an impression on him?”

Money alone was not necessarily enough to sway a man of such stature.

Anything that money could buy would never be a big deal. The trickiest of situations occurred only when money was not the be-all and end-all.

When the light turned red, Timothy turned around to look at the woman’s curious gaze.

He curled his lips lightly. “Dr. Jameson has a kind heart.”

Samantha understood immediately.

Only those who cherished life in the world would not be moved by money.

They did not need money; they wanted something that could be of use.

Alan, for example, needed medical equipment, and Vincent would probably need something similar since he was doing research.

The only thing that could sway him was something that could contribute to medical knowledge.

Samantha’s heart trembled slightly as she looked at Timothy.

He was an extremely capable person who could accomplish his goals in a perfect, seamless manner.

It was truly frightening to make an enemy out of him.

However, she had to think for herself.

She could not let herself remain helpless and continue being a victim of Timothy and Harmony’s love.

Samantha forced a happy smile. She leaned forward and gave Timothy a peck on the cheek, saying, “You’re the best, Hubby.”

He was so considerate when it came to the baby in her womb.

Unfortunately, the consideration he showed only left her feeling bitterly disappointed…

Truthfully speaking, she was still in disbelief over his heartlessness towards her.

The car drove to the entrance of Lychee TV.

Timothy got out of the car and walked around to the passenger seat. He opened the car door and shielded Samantha as she got out of the car.

They arrived at a time when people were clocking to work and a lot of people instantly recognized Timothy and Samantha. They were an attractive couple, and Timothy’s tender actions spurred everyone into taking out their cell phones to photograph them secretly.

After all, the scene was just so eye-catching as they looked like they came straight out of a romance television series.

Timothy kissed Samantha on the forehead and drove away after watching her enter the building.

Samantha went upstairs and had just sat down at her desk when she saw a picture posted by her colleague on the intranet forum. It was a picture of her and Timothy being affectionate with each other.

Gossipmongering was practically second nature to those who worked in the media line. The post instantly became a hit and the discussion became more lively as Samantha did not come out to stop it.

The incident went abuzz early in the morning and everyone eventually got to know about it.

When lunchtime came, Samantha clicked into the forum and read the posts. There were already thousands of top comments and everyone was happily cheering for her and Timothy.

Samantha smiled in satisfaction. She held the mouse, logged in to WeTalk on her computer, then sent the post’s link to a certain contact through WeTalk..
