I Loved You in the Dark Until Someone Loved Me in the Light novel Chapter 3

Gillian tightened her grip and looked away. "I'm sorry, but please step out. It's hospital policy."

"Policy?" The man's voice dropped to a cold register. Others might not have caught it, but she detected a faint, undeniable warning. "Hailey is pregnant and currently injured. I can't be at ease if I'm not by her side."-

How could Gillian not understand York's underlying meaning?

He was worried she might have malicious intentions and harm Hailey or the baby out of jealousy. He was thoroughly insulting her professional ethics as a doctor.

"York, I'll be fine. Don't make things difficult for the doctor..." Hailey pitifully tugged at York's sleeve, her heart inevitably swelling with sweetness. Being cared for so deeply by the man she liked, how could she not be happy?

The man's demeanor softened instantly. "I'm just worried about you and the baby."

Since it concerned the baby, it was a major issue, so York didn't argue further. He patted Hailey's hand and comforted her gently. "I'll step out first and come check on you in a bit."

Gillian lowered her eyes, masking the emotions in her gaze, refusing to watch their intimate display.

The examination went quickly. The baby in Hailey's stomach was stable, and there was no bleeding. She just needed to go home, rest up, and come back for regular checkups.

Upon hearing this, York disagreed. His face turned serious as he looked at Gillian with a commanding tone. "We can't be careless about this. Arrange for her to be admitted."

Hailey couldn't hide her bashfulness. "The doctor said I'm fine and can go home to rest. Isn't this a bit of an overreaction?"

The man frowned, displaying meticulous care for Hailey. "When it comes to the safety of you and the baby, there are no minor issues. I can listen to you about anything else, but for this, be good and listen to me, okay?"

Gillian didn't bother exposing him, nor did she have the energy to do so. He certainly did a great job protecting his little girlfriend's innocence.

Her heart ached, and she had no desire to watch them act so in love. The more she watched, the more she felt that the past few years of her marriage were nothing but an illusion. She felt more and more like a clown, an absolute joke.

Years of her pouring her heart out couldn't compare to Hailey, whom he had only known for a few months.

Gillian let out a quiet breath and called over a nurse. "Claire, go arrange a hospital bed for Ms. Sinclair."
