Chapter 736: Thea Must Pay

After agreeing to wait for the police, the middle-aged man shut the door in Alex's face without hesitation.

Alex and Andrew stood outside the hospital room, frowning as the door slammed shut.

"Alex, are we really going to just wait here?" Andrew's voice was heavy with concern.

He worried that even though the other party claimed they would wait for the police, they might try to slip away.

Alex glanced at the number plate on the door and said, "You go back and stay with Mom and keep an eye on Benjamin. I'll stay here."

Like Andrew, Alex didn't trust these people. It was better for him to stay and ensure nothing went wrong.

Andrew hesitated. "Alex, I think I should stay with you. I've already called for emergency help for Benjamin. Mom's with him, so it'll be fine. If I leave, it might be harder for you to handle things here."

Benjamin was unconscious, and Andrew knew he wouldn't be of much help back there. Besides, he instinctively felt more at ease staying with Alex rather than dealing with Rosalind's unstable emotions. His nerves were already stretched thin, and he didn't want to be further rattled.

Alex shot him a knowing glance, quickly guessing his reluctance to leave. "Fine, then you stay here," Alex said.

Andrew blinked in surprise, grabbing Alex's arm before he could leave. "Alex, where are you going?"

"I'm going to check the operating room upstairs," Alex replied. "I suspect Thea is there."

Earlier, when Alex had searched the other operating rooms, he'd found some clues. If Andrew hadn't contacted him about finding Benjamin, he might have assumed Benjamin was in the operating room upstairs. The fact that no family members had been waiting outside that particular room had seemed suspicious.

Andrew frowned at the mention of Thea's name. "Alright, Alex, go ahead. If anything happens, call me."

If finding Thea could bring them answers, Andrew wouldn't stop him. In fact, their entire family was desperate to find Thea and make her pay.

Thea must pay for this!

Thinking about Thea stirred a deep anger in Andrew.

Alex's eyes were equally dark with fury. Seeing Andrew agree, he nodded and left, leaving Andrew to stand guard outside the hospital room.

Inside the Room

Once the door closed, the young man lowered his head and said, "Dad, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so impulsive earlier."

The middle-aged man glanced at him before replying, "As long as you know you were wrong."

Seeing that his father wasn't too angry, the young man's courage grew, and he asked, "Dad, they called the police. Are we really going to wait for them?"

Although they had a donation agreement in hand, the document had been provided by the clinic. They weren't entirely sure if the signature on it was truly the donor's.

After all, they hadn't witnessed the donor signing it. In fact, they hadn't even seen the donor before the surgery.

After the operation, they'd had the chance to meet the donor, but upon seeing their own family member being wheeled out, they'd completely forgotten about the donor.

The middle-aged man looked at the unconscious figure lying on the hospital bed before saying, "We'll wait here. In a little while, you and the others will leave first. Your uncle and I will stay to deal with them."

He deliberately lowered his voice, clearly aware of Andrew standing guard outside.

"But Lilly hasn't woken up yet," the young man protested, his voice also dropping in volume as he absorbed his father's seriousness.

He couldn't understand how they were supposed to leave when someone was guarding the door. And with his sister still unconscious, sneaking away quietly seemed nearly impossible.

"She hasn't woken up, but she needs rest," the middle-aged man said softly, glancing at his daughter with evident pain in his eyes.

"But..."

"Enough," the man cut him off sternly. "Listen to me. Your mom and aunt will take care of your sister. Once you're back, you'll be responsible for keeping an eye on the door and making sure no one disturbs them."

The man's voice was low, but his expression was firm and commanding.

The young man fell silent, nodding heavily with determination. He didn't know how his father planned to get them out, but he was resolved to fulfill his part of the task.

After finishing his instructions to the boy, the middle-aged man turned to his wife.

Both husband and wife had been consumed with worry for their daughter in recent days. They'd thought the surgery would finally put an end to their troubles. Who could have predicted this mess?

They had followed all the proper procedures.

If they had any other choice, he wouldn't feel comfortable letting his wife and daughter leave first. But now, he had no other option.

"Don't worry about us," the woman said softly, noticing the worry in his eyes. She nodded in reassurance, her voice calm.

The man sighed but nodded reluctantly. Worrying wouldn't change anything.

Suddenly, the woman seemed to think of something. "How are we going to leave?" she asked quietly, her voice tinged with concern.

The people outside clearly didn't intend to let them go. How could they possibly leave?

The man's expression hardened, and he spoke in a low voice. "I have a plan."

His words drew everyone's attention.

"We'll show them the agreement," he continued.

The young man frowned in confusion. "But Dad, isn't the agreement with you?"

The middle-aged man shot him a look of exasperated disappointment before turning to his wife's brother, who had been standing silently nearby.

The brother immediately understood and nodded.

Seeing that he'd caught on, the middle-aged man didn't bother explaining further.

He moved closer to him and lowered his voice. "Sam, there's only one person outside now. You and I will go out together. That should make him feel less suspicious."

If he went out alone, it might be difficult to draw the man away. But if the two of them went out together, the guard would likely feel more at ease.

"Alright. You keep the agreement hidden. We'll tell him we're taking him to see it. He'll definitely follow us," Sam said in a low voice, understanding the plan perfectly.

This explanation wasn't just for the middle-aged man-it was also to reassure the young man, who had been confused.

Since they couldn't confirm whether the agreement had truly been signed by the donor, it was better to let the others leave first while they stayed behind to handle things.

As for how to draw the man outside away, they would claim to be taking him to see the agreement.

After all, where the agreement was located would be entirely up to them.

The young man finally understood and felt enlightened.

Before he could say anything else, his father and uncle opened the door and stepped out.
