Chapter 84. Reconciliation

Zayn walked into Dr. Daniel’s office, his steps heavy with frustration. He didn’t wait to be invited; he dropped into the chair across from the doctor and rubbed his temples as if trying to squeeze the stress out of his head.

“Any progress?” Dr. Daniel asked carefully, watching him.

Zayn let out a long sigh and leaned back in the chair. “Same as usual. Nothing.”

The room went quiet for a moment. Then Dr. Daniel spoke again.

“You need to clear this misunderstanding, Zayn. It won’t solve itself.”

Zayn gave a small nod. “I know.”

“So, how is it going?” Zayn asked, shifting the focus.

Dr. Daniel straightened, pulling a file closer. “Lucien’s injury is healing well. Luckily, the knife didn’t damage any vital organs. As for the pregnancy… he’s eight weeks along now. The baby is healthy. If you want, we can schedule an ultrasound to find out the gender.”

Zayn shook his head quickly. “That’s not the problem now, Doctor.” His voice grew tight.
