Chapter 221: Chapter 216
Emily Parker stared intently at the smartphone screen, her fingers swiping continuously.
“As expected, the other party hid their na.”
Her tone was filled with disappointnt. She had hoped to find so clues in the phone, but after combing through all the communication records and social dia apps, she found nothing.
Emily lightly furrowed her brows, starting to ticulously piece together the sequence of events in her mind.
“The only people who knew I was coming to Eastern Hospital for a prenatal check-up today were the Carter Family.”
Mrs. Carter treated her like a daughter, with utmost care, and Maria Carter had been getting along well with her lately. She trusted these two from the bottom of her heart.
So, the only suspect left was Evan Palr.
“But he is Carlos’ father. Why would he plot against his own son?”
This question lood like a heavy cloud, weighing down on Emily’s heart.
Thinking of this, the scene of accidentally encountering Evan Palr and Grace Willow together appeared again in her mind.
This image had always made Emily uneasy, and at this mont, her suspicion of a connection between Evan Palr and the Willow Family grew stronger.
Over the past few days, Emily had put in a lot of effort to find evidence, but the recordings from these days revealed nothing suspicious, making her feel very frustrated…
The hospital corridor was bustling with people, with the sounds of footsteps and conversations never ceasing.
Carlos had been waiting in the outer waiting area for quite a while. The door of the prenatal check-up room opened, and Emily walked out. Carlos imdiately stepped forward quickly to et her.
“The check-up showed no problems; the baby is very healthy.” Emily’s expression was calm, her tone devoid of much emotion, simply informing Carlos of the results of the check-up.
“I plan to assign a few bodyguards to you,” Carlos proposed proactively.
However, Emily rejected it outright.
“I don’t need bodyguards.
When we registered for our marriage, we agreed to respect each other’s wishes.”
Emily continued,
“You should be quite busy lately, so there’s no need for you to accompany .”
Her voice was cold and distant, leaving no room for negotiation.
This brief rejection was like an invisible barrier, creating a rift between them.
Carlos slightly furrowed his brows, a trace of imperceptible disappointnt flashing across his face.
He knew Emily too well. Her current coldness surely ant she was still upset about Rainny White.
“About Rainny, I can explai…”
He eagerly began to speak, trying to explain, but hesitated as the words reached his lips.
She gently shook her head, interrupting Carlos’ unfinished words.
“No need, I don’t want to hear it.” She turned around, no longer looking at Carlos, and walked determinedly towards the hospital entrance, leaving Carlos behind.
Carlos watched Emily’s resolute departing back, filled with helplessness and frustration. He irritably raised his hand to scratch his head, silently lanting that won were truly the most incomprehensible creatures in the world.
Just a mont ago, looking at Emily’s indifferent profile, he found himself unable to speak, realizing that all the explanations he had prepared seed feeble and powerless now.
He was about to step forward and catch up when his phone abruptly rang in his pocket. The caller ID showed it was Oliver Ross.
Carlos paused, took a deep breath, tried to calm his emotions, and pressed the answer button.
“Boss, I’ve got the information. Dr. Sterling will be recruiting at Capital dical College in two days.”
Carlos was montarily taken aback. The chaotic thoughts caused by Emily were instantly pulled back into focus.
“Are you sure it’s in two days? Is the information reliable?”
Carlos’ expression beca severe, his voice unconsciously serious.
“Absolutely, Boss. I went through a lot to get this from an insider at Capital dical College.”
Oliver quickly responded, his tone full of assurance.
Carlos pondered for a mont, rapidly calculating in his mind. This was a perfect opportunity; if he could use this chance to establish a connection with Dr. Sterling…
