When Tifanny stepped out of the room, she got a call from her cousin, Elijah.
Immediately after Tiffany answered the call, he said, "TTiff, I need your help urgently. There is someone whose life is in danger, and you have to save her. You might already know that. ”
"That you got a woman who is not your wife pregnant while actively cheating on your legal wife?" Tiffany asked, her face flushed with rage. Tiffany asked, wafting with anger.
“Tiffany!” Elijah grinds his teeth angrily. “Don't speak rudely about the mother of my child. Scarlett is pregnant with my child. I love her, and we are getting married soon. Moreover, Charlotte and I are getting divorced, so watch your tone!”
“How could you do this to Charlotte, Elijah? Do you have any idea what Charlotte is going through right now?” Tiff asked.
“I don't care what happens to her; I'm only worried about my child right now! Elijah barked. “There is not much time to waste, Tiffany. I need your help; something bad might happen to my child if Charlotte pushes her! Can you take a look at Scarlett and my baby?”
“Elijah, first of all, I'm not allowed to treat anyone outside of Connor Medical; I'm bound by a contract,” Tiffany replied. “Second, do you really believe Charlotte could do something like that? You believed your mistress over her?”
Elijah sighed. As much as he wanted to bring Scarlett to the Connor Medical Hospital, he couldn't. He had a beef with Jeremy Connor, one of the hospital's owners. Moreover, it was dangerous to move Scarlett around in this condition.
"Tiff I saw everything with my own eyes. Charlotte really pushed Scarlett," Elijah insisted.
"Please, Tiff. Help me–”
"You saw it? Are you sure?" Tiffany asked.
Before Elijah could respond, the phone disconnected.
“Damn it!”

Connor Medical Center
Jeremy Connor’s assistant had arrived to take him home.
He is about to leave when he accidentally eavesdrops on Tiffany’s conversation with Elijah.
Hearing Elijah’s voice over the phone causes him to clench his fists in anger. He stares at Tiffany’s back and carefully listens in on their conversation.
He coldly asked, "WWhat did he want?”
Tiffany turned around abruptly and was shocked to see him behind her.
She grasped, “Goodness, you startled me, Mr. Connor.” She bit her lips and continued. “It's my cousin. He's asking for my help in treating his pregnant mistress. He says her condition is critical and she might lose the baby.”
“Treat her,” Jeremy says.
“Excuse me?,” Tiffany’s jaw dropped. She cleared her throat and asked. “What did you just say?”
"You should go to wherever he is and help treat his woman," Jeremy replied. "You must do everything in your power to save the child. Do you understand me? I give you permission."
Tiffany is shocked to the bone. She looks at the man in front of her with a complicated gaze.
“Do as I say, Tiffany, don't let anything happen to the child,” Jeremy hammered before being wheeled away.
Tiffany nodded.

The next morning, Tiffany went to see Charlotte before heading to Glindale Hospital.
She couldn’t hide the fact that she was going to treat Scarlett away from Charlotte; it would hurt her if she found out. So, she decided to ask for her approval before leaving.
“Elijah is asking for my help in treating his mistress.“ Tiffany stopped talking and looked at Charlotte.
“He wants you to treat Scarlett?” Charlotte chimed in, cutting Tiffany off.
Charlotte frowned. The memories of how Rlijah blamed her for everything that happened flooded her mind. He refused to listen to anything she had to say; he simply believed everything Scarlett said.
Charlotte softly said, "YYou should help in any way you can.”
“I detest him, and I detest that vicious step-sister of mine even more, but it doesn’t mean I would let an innocent child get harmed in any way because of my hatred. I know you are the best person to help her right now. After all, nobody is seeing your back when it comes to being the best." Charliotte teased, "YYou should definitely help her. At least he will blame me less if nothing happens to his child and lover.”
Charlotte saw the complicated expression on Tiffany’s face once she uttered these words.
Tiffany sighed and said, "CCharlie, you are too kind; my brother never really deserved you to begin with.”
Tiffany hopped to her feet before saying,I should get going now.”
“Tiffany?” Charlotte called.
Charlotte contemplated for a moment. Then she continues, "Elizah and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. I don't think he should know about the miscarriage. It doesn't matter to him anyway.”
The thought of how she was treated by Elijah and Maya the night before caused her heart to ache with pangs.
“Is that what you really want, Charlotte?” Tiffany looks so worried about her.
Charlotte gave a smile. She said, "II don't want to have to face Elijah anymore or let him come close to me, asking questions. I want to go out of my life forever. So, it's best he doesn't know I had a miscarriage; it's easier to discard him that way.”
“Maybe, in the future when I'm ready to face the truth, I will tell him about it” Charlotte muttered, almost whispering. “For now, its best he stay away from me, I don't want to see him or his family, I've had enough”
“If that's what you want, I will try to hold back my tongue” Tiffany begrudgingly agreed.
“Thank you,Tiffany”

“You came, Tiffany, I knew you wouldn't abandon me” Elijah excitedly smiled as Tiffany walked in.
“It's nice to meet you, Dr. Foster." Scarlett fragilely smiled at Tiffany. Her innocent eyes glint brightly; they can charm anyone.
Tiffany stood in front of Scarlett’s bed in the Glindale hospital room and uttered.“Hello Scarlett. I'm here to check on you,” she replied.
Soon, a resident doctor came in with Scarlett’s chart. Tiffany took the chart and studied it for a long time under the blazing gazes of Elijah and Maya Foster.
They look worried and sick. Tiffany was disgusted.
