Working as head nurse to Dr Geoffrey Ransom, Meg pushes away her growing feelings for this kind and dedicated doctor. She is engaged and carrying her fiancé’s child, so she immerses herself into her work.
'As her pregnancy develops Meg is torn. How can she continue with the career she is passionate about, and keep her pregnancy a secret?'
