Camille took out a small bottle from her coat pocket and handed it to Aurora.
"This is a new special medication I formulated. A pill a day could help keep your baby healthy."
Aurora hesitated at the words "special medication". Word had it that Camille's special medication was dangerously addictive. It would have turned into a massive scandal had the Chimes not paid to cover up the rumors.
However, Aurora also heard that the rumors were started by someone jealous of Camille's success just before the special medication hit the market. There was no confirmation on either rumor just yet.
Aurora thought about her successful conception following Camille's treatment. To that end, Camille's medical skills spoke for themselves.
"Thank you, Camille. Once the baby is born, I want you to be its godmother," Aurora said after she snapped out of her daze.
"I think I'd prefer to be the baby's aunt," Camille countered jokingly, implying her desire to marry Bernard.
Aurora laughed.
"I'll keep my promise. Don't worry."
Camille took out an invitation from her other pocket and handed it to Aurora.
"Before I forget, I'm throwing a party this Sunday, and I'd love for you to attend. It'd be great if you could convince Mr. Killian to come, too."
"Of course," Aurora said.
After seeing Aurora out, Camille returned to her office to find Julia and Wilson waiting for her.
"Camille, the patients have been directed to Youngworth Miracle Clinic," Julia informed.
"Good."
Camille added, "From now on, refer any patient with similar symptoms to Dr. Miracle's clinic. She's a respectable senior of mine, and I bet her newly opened clinic could use the business.
"A large space like that must come with a hefty rental, and I wouldn't want a fellow doctor to struggle with paying it. I should help her in whatever way I can."
Julia gave Camille a look of admiration.
"I understand, Camille. You're a kind person.
Wilson agreed, "Despite being rivals, you've never seen Dr. Miracle and Hera as your competitors. Instead, you choose to help them by directing business to their establishment. You're practically a saint!"
"It's too bad they don't appreciate your good deeds. Hera even tried to seduce Mr. Killian even though she knew you two were engaged!" Julia grumbled.
