Dr. Goldstein was the Jones family doctor. He was an approachable man in his forties wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

“Don’t say that, Young Madam. This is part of my job,” said he politely.

As Dr. Goldstein was a male doctor, it was inconvenient for him to be the one to do the check-up on Serenity so his female assistant did instead.

The two ladies headed to the room on the second floor. When the female assistant saw the traces of violence on her body, her eyes widened in shock.

It was indeed not easy being the wife of a wealthy family. She was already pregnant but President Jones still treated her like this. The assistant could not help but feel pity for her.

The female assistant noticed how calm and composed Serenity looked despite having her wounds exposed to a stranger. There was no hint of humiliation or guilt on her face. What a strong woman.

After the female assistant finished her examination, she left the room and reported her observations to Dr. Goldstein who was waiting outside.

Serenity put her clothes back on and left the room. Dr. Goldstein looked at her with a complicated gaze for a moment.

But Serenity was not bothered by their strange looks. She calmly asked, “If there’s any problem, just report it to him. I don’t want to hear it.”

Dr. Goldstein adjusted the frame of his glasses and smiled awkwardly before leaving with his female assistant.

After leaving South Bay, Dr. Goldstein called Gabriel. He wanted to say something but hesitated. Gabriel could hear the hesitation and frowned slightly. “Is she alright?”

Dr. Goldstein thought about his words carefully and tactfully said, “Young Master, Young Madam and the child are fine. But even though it’s already been three months, Young Madam is still a pregnant woman.”

Gabriel understood what the doctor meant. After a few seconds of silence,

Gabriel asked, “Do you know what to do if the main residence asks?”

Dr. Goldstein was a smart person so he knew what Gabriel was hinting at. “Don’t worry, Young Master. I know what to do.”

When it was time for dinner, Serenity came down just as Mrs. Winstead was serving the food on the table. Before Serenity could even start eating, the sound of a car engine came from the courtyard. Mrs. Silvestre greeted Gabriel as he entered the living room.

Mrs. Winstead went up and took his suit jacket from him. With a smile, she said, “Since Young Master is back early today, will you be having dinner with Young Madam?”

Gabriel hummed a soft response as he placed his car keys on the coffee table. Then he entered the dining room while unbuttoning his cufflinks. Serenity was staring at Gabriel, astonished, as he pulled out a chair and sat across from her. She thought he was not going to come back today, just like the past few weeks. She had even mentally prepared herself that after what happened last night, it was very likely that he would not be home for another ten days to half a month.

And yet, here he was, back in South Bay, and relatively early at that.

Mrs. Winstead placed another set of eating utensils for Gabriel and the couple ate quietly. Gabriel noticed that Serenity was a little absent-minded, picking up vegetables without realizing that she hadn’t actually picked up anything.

He frowned and put down his cutlery. Though it wasn’t too loud, the sudden sound startled Serenity the she shivered slightly. She looked at him in fear, her bright black pupils reflecting his cold face.

Mrs. Winstead was also shocked by his sudden anger. “Young Master, please wait a moment. I’ll go make a few new dishes.”

The dishes that night were made mainly based on Serenity’s palate since Mrs. Winstead was not expecting Gabriel back for dinner. So she thought he did not enjoy the meal.

“No need, I’m full,” said Gabriel indifferently.

Mrs. Winstead looked at his plate. “But you have barely touched….”
