Part 3After My Fiancé’s Classmate Got Pregnant, I Married My Childhood Sweetheart Instead

Maybe it was the memory of that desperate and painful death, but now the stomach pain felt significantly less severe.

I didn't panic. Instead, I pushed Hugh's hand away and looked calmly at Dr. Riley.

"Dr. Riley, isn't it? Were you joking just now, or were you serious?"

Dr. Riley hadn't expected me to be so composed.

She froze for a moment.

But she was clearly good at making things up, so her mental fortitude was impressive. She quickly nodded.

"Of course, I'm a doctor. How could I make things up?"

"I used to be in Obstetrics and Gynecology, and I've recently moved to the emergency room. You and I are old acquaintances. Pretending not to know me won't work."

Dr. Riley then suddenly turned to Hugh.

"Which boyfriend are you of Chloe's? I haven't seen you with her before."

"She always comes here with different men."

Hugh didn't answer. He was pinching his thigh hard, struggling to keep from laughing out loud.

Last time, when Dr. Riley slandered me, he just pulled me away as if nothing had happened.

He said he believed me, and at the time, I was touched. Now, I just found it pathetic.

Of course, he believed me; he and Dr. Riley knew better than anyone how innocent I was!

My expression remained calm, and my voice didn't waver.

"This is my boyfriend, Hugh. I've never had an abortion, nor have I ever visited an OB/GYN with other men."

Dr. Riley looked like she suddenly understood.

"Oh, I see. Is this your *official* boyfriend?"

"No wonder you're trying to say I was joking. Well... alright, alright, Chloe's right, I was joking. This isn't due to an abortion; it's... it's stomach flu, or appendicitis. Quickly, I'll order some tests for you. Let's get you treated."

Although Dr. Riley sounded like she was clarifying things for me, her sarcastic tone made it obvious to anyone that she had no choice but to back down!
