Sylvia's POV:
"Miss Todd, it's me," Maya said, her voice coming from outside. "The doctor is here."
I pressed my lips into a thin line. I couldn't believe Rufus really asked the doctor to check on me.
Didn't he think my acting was terrible? Why did he still play along?
As I thought about that, I felt even more depressed. I covered my head with the blanket and ignored Maya completely.
She knocked on the door two more times and asked, "Miss Todd, can I open the door?"
I didn't say anything. I just pretended not to hear her.
"I'm coming in, Miss Todd," she said when I didn't respond. Her voice sounded a little helpless.
After a while, I heard keys, followed by the sound of the door opening.
I pulled off the blanket, sat up from the bed, and gloomily looked at the door. I saw Maya come inside the room. Beside her was an amiable-looking female doctor.
The doctor greeted me with a smile before she checked up on me. The result was quite surprising.
"Miss Todd, your baby looks much more stable and stronger than before," she said.
My heart instantly fluttered the moment I heard that. I felt so happy. "What else do I need to do, doc?"
"Just keep doing what you're doing and be careful with your diet. You should keep yourself happy and try to get enough sleep."
