Grace’s heart skipped a beat, and she found herself glancing
over.
That doctor whispered, “It’s that newcomer, Dr. Jermyn!” Grace’s breath caught, her fingers clenching her phone.
If she wasn’t going to get the director’s job, there was no way it would go to Kendra, a newcomer who was still getting the hang of things! Grace suddenly stood up and called out to the two doctors who were passing by, “Who is the new director?”
They got along with Grace, so they felt a pang of sympathy. “Dr. Parrish, you’re young. There will be other chances. After all, no one can compete with Kendra.”
“That’s right. The guy who was here last time is the top shareholder of our hospital. He’s from the Parrish family!” A wave of desolation washed over Grace.
She entrusted her assets to Antonio for safekeeping, but he ended up using them to unconditionally support Kendra! Not far

away, Kendra was the center of attention, preening with pride.
“Dr. Jermyn, you are really living the dream!”
“Let’s call her director from now on!”
Kendra flashed a smug smile at Grace, casually placing her hand on her barely–there baby bump, still concealed beneath her clothes. Gathering herself, Grace retreated to her office to call Antonio.
After a bit, Antonio picked up. “What’s up?”
Grace didn’t beat around the bush. “Why are you using the Parrish family’s influence to help Kendra?”
Antonio paused and then replied nonchalantly, “You’re my wife in name only. Does it really matter if you’re the director or not?” Anger flared in Grace.
Antonio’s dismissive words turned all her hard work into a joke. Without another word, she ended the call and set about retrieving her pre–nuptial property.
As the evening approached, Grace headed back to the Kaufman’s place.
She found Omar drawing at the table. He bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, a picture of tranquility. She paused and then walked over.
She was taken aback when she saw the drawing.
Omar had sketched a family portrait, but the woman’s name was Kendra!

A cold shiver ran through Grace, and she couldn’t resist asking, “Why do you like Kendra so much? You used to love me the most.” Omar held onto his drawing, meeting Grace’s gaze with a challenge.
“I didn’t know you were like this before! Everyone says you tricked Dad into having a baby with you and that’s why I exist!”
