Chapter 170 Is He the Biological Father?
The person outside kept pounding on the door.
"We're not doing the examination anymore. Let the patient out right now." It was the guard who had accompanied Victoria.
That statement made everyone inside the room's hearts leap into their throats.
Why so sudden?
Immediately after, the doctor arranged by the hospital walked out of the examination room.
"Ms. Wilson, the director has already briefed us. You take her away, we'll handle the rest."
The female doctor said to Amelia.
This put them both at ease.
Then the female doctor left the exam room and confronted the man making a fuss outside with a stern expression.
"Do you know where you are? What kind of behavior is this shouting and yelling?"
The man said coldly, "I'm taking her away now. Get the pregnant woman out here immediately."
The doctor stood with her hands in her pockets, her expression equally displeased.
"An examination is in progress inside. It can't just end because you say so. As a family member, you should wait outside properly."
The man didn't care about any of that. He'd just received word to remove Victoria from the hospital immediately.
Without further discussion, he tried to force his way in.
The female doctor immediately blocked him.
"There are other pregnant women being examined inside. You can't barge in like this!"
Then the female doctor called over other doctors to help restrain him.
At the same time, Amelia and Hannah seized the opportunity to get Victoria out.
Soon, Victoria was in their car.
Hannah hit the gas, and the three of them smoothly left through the hospital's underground garage.
Looking back at the hospital that had once imprisoned her, Victoria watched the scenery gradually receding outside the window and burst into tears of joy.
For her, it had been a cage.
She rolled down the window, and the breeze drifted in, bringing fresh air.
This moment tasted of freedom.
Victoria slowly closed her eyes, though tears still fell from the corners.
Amelia arranged for Victoria to stay at her own place. Victoria contacted her former assistant.
Learning that Victoria had surfaced, the assistant immediately rushed over to take care of her.
The moment she saw Victoria, the assistant stared in disbelief at her swollen belly.
In the following days, Victoria settled down at Amelia's residence.
Meanwhile, chaos erupted at the hospital.
After the female doctor and the man started arguing, the man tried to force his way through but was stopped by male doctors who arrived.
During their dispute, the doctor from the examination room soon emerged, saying the pregnant woman had vanished without a trace.
During the examination, they had asked the patient to wait inside for a moment, but when the busy doctors turned around, the patient had disappeared.
The man panicked and immediately pulled out his phone to report the situation.
Thirty minutes later, in the director's office.
The director sat on the sofa, flanked by hospital leadership on both sides.
A man in a suit sat on the opposite sofa, his expression dark, his words aggressive.
"I'm telling you, if anything happens to the pregnant woman, I will definitely pursue legal action against your hospital."
The director explained helplessly, "We don't want this to happen either. During treatment, the patient left the hospital on her own. The patient acted deliberately, we..."
The man immediately flew into a rage.
"You're just shirking responsibility." The man slapped the coffee table, suppressing the fury in his voice. "A living person disappeared from your hospital—if that's not negligence on your hospital's part, what is? The patient is about to give birth. You didn't keep proper watch over her. What are you doctors even doing?"
The director and other leaders didn't dare argue further.
They were all just employees.
Moreover, this man before them seemed quite influential. If they truly offended him, it wouldn't be advantageous for them either.
Just then, the director's office door was pushed open, and a woman in a red suit dress walked in from outside.
"The doctors I employ are naturally here to heal and save lives. Surely Albert is aware of that?"
Evelyn smiled, her red lips alluring, her eyes fixed directly on Albert.
His heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected her to recognize him.
"Who are you?" Albert frowned.
Evelyn turned around, leaning back against the desk with both hands, smiling as she said, "My surname is Morgan. Morgan Group belongs to my father. What do you think my identity is?"
Albert had indeed investigated this hospital before.
This hospital did indeed belong to Morgan Group.
"Albert, I recall you have a wife. So why are you keeping a pregnant woman here at our facility?" Evelyn's smile was deeply meaningful.
Being questioned this way naturally made Albert feel guilty.
He and his wife had been married for years but had no children.
His wife was willing to do IVF, take fertility injections, but after all these years, she still couldn't conceive.
Albert had deep-rooted traditional beliefs about continuing the family line. Without children, the empire he'd built over so many years would have no heir.
Victoria was the woman he'd selected to bear his child.
But this matter couldn't be made public. Otherwise, once people found out, at best he'd be utterly disgraced, at worst he'd lose everything.
"Miss Morgan, who the patient is to me should be none of your concern. That's my private matter. The patient disappeared from your hospital—shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation?"
"I will give the patient's family a reasonable explanation. As for you, if you are the patient's family member, I'll naturally give you an explanation. But before that, Albert, you might need to explain—what exactly is your relationship to the patient?"
Evelyn narrowed her eyes.
If he admitted he was the biological father of Victoria's unborn child, that would be interesting.
If not, then this matter had nothing to do with him.
Albert was anxious inside. Evelyn had precisely seized upon this point.
He had no recourse.
"Miss Morgan, the patient disappeared from your hospital. You'd better find a way to locate her for me. Otherwise, I'll have my legal team file a lawsuit against your hospital."
Albert gritted his teeth and said viciously.
With that, he turned and left the director's office with his people.
Before leaving, Albert even kicked the door hard.
Evelyn felt nothing but contempt. A man who appeared dignified and composed was actually narrow-minded and petty inside.
The director approached worriedly.
"Miss Morgan, if we've truly offended this person, what should we do?" He was very concerned.
