Chapter 547

Vivian Laurent felt genuine joy witnessing Fiona Grandelle's transformation.

The timid girl who once feared mirrors now stood confidently in the sunlight. Vivian could almost see the brilliant future unfolding before her.

As they chatted, Queen Eleanor approached quietly.

"Dr. Luna, may we speak privately?"

Dismissing her attendants, the Queen handed over a document with grave expression.

"These are my prenatal test results. Please review them."

Vivian's fingers hesitated as she took the report. Multiple indicators exceeded normal ranges, indicating high pregnancy risks.

"Your Majesty, considering your age and physical condition—"

"I must have this child." The Queen interrupted, maternal determination flashing in her eyes. "This is heaven's gift to me."

Vivian sighed. "These abnormal readings mean immediate adjustments are necessary, otherwise—"

"I understand." The Queen clenched her dress hem. "My personal physicians are at their wits' end. That's why I came to you. Whatever the cost."

Seeing her resolve, Vivian relented.

"I'll coordinate medication plans with your doctors. But prepare yourself—the coming months will be difficult."

"Thank you!" The Queen exhaled in relief.

"Does Fiona know?"

"Not yet. The timing hasn't been right." The Queen's expression grew complicated.

Vivian didn't press further, carefully drafting a treatment regimen. The Queen promptly paid the consultation fee.

The payment arrived just in time.

Her previous savings had been transferred to Liam Valdemar. Though she didn't know his purpose, Vivian chose not to inquire. Now she could finally arrange post-discharge housing for him.

After settling Liam's accommodations, her bank account emptied again.

"Get me two contracts." She called Isabella Langley.

"You should rest." Isabella sounded concerned. "You've looked exhausted lately."

"Nonsense. I sleep eight hours daily."

"But your dark circles keep worsening..."

"Find me jobs or I'll poach Finn Deross's contracts." Vivian half-joked.

Hanging up, she massaged her temples. Fatigue had become frequent lately, but earning money took priority now.
