The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1790

[International Medical Alliance: The samples are already on the way. If everything goes smoothly, they’ll be in Cabinda by three o’clock tomorrow.]

[Charlotte: Got it.]

After sending her reply, Charlotte shut her laptop and glanced up at Anthony. “Looks like the honeymoon’s off for now.”

“That’s fine.”

Anthony leaned in, kissed her softly on the eyelids, and smiled. “Your work comes first. Medicine is more important, especially when people’s lives are on the line.”

Honestly, nothing else could compare to that. As for their honeymoon, they’d have plenty of time to travel once Lottie gave birth to those two little rascals. Then, the trip would be one hundred percent worry-free.

Sounded perfect, really.

When he agreed so easily, Charlotte pressed her lips together, saying nothing, her gaze lingering on his face like she had a million things she wanted to say but just couldn’t get them out.

He ruffled her hair and frowned gently. “What? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Careful. If you keep staring at me, I might just start something we’ll both regret, and it won’t be my fault.”

He let out a little click of annoyance, but Charlotte just grinned, grabbed his hand, and led him toward the living room.

Starting tomorrow, she’d be buried in work. There would be zero opportunity for him to mess around.

The next day, Charlotte got the update: the samples had arrived. She raced over to the research institute as fast as she could.

“Lottie, I’ll take care of this,” Dr. David called out the moment he saw her reaching for an isolation suit. He stopped her with a serious face. “We still don’t know what’s causing this. These samples could be extremely dangerous.”

All it would take was one careless moment for someone to get infected.

Charlotte’s brows drew together. Before she could argue, Dr. David spoke up again, “No way am I letting you handle them. Even if you’re not worried about yourself, you need to think about those two babies you’re carrying.”

After all, with these genetic mutations, plus that severe sleeping sickness… only superhero babies could get through this without a hitch.
