Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Was There a Problem with Your Twins Back Then?
Ning Yichu feared she might beco too agitated, so she hurried to comfort and calm her emotions.
Annette, accustod to witnessing life and death, was naturally not a fragile person. She quickly forced herself to endure the pain and muster her strength.
“…Doctor Antony is usually kind to everyone, rarely losing his temper. Even if conflicts arise between patients and doctors, he would patiently try to resolve them. During all the years he worked at Saint Lya, he never received a single complaint.”
Her voice trembled uncontrollably, accompanied by hoarseness, “Last night, we were just finishing work as usual and planned to go out for dinner. We didn’t expect to encounter that group of people on the way; they dragged us into the alley without a word…”
Antony, in order to delay them and buy her a chance to survive, suffered multiple stab wounds.
This… she should have foreseen.
How could he possibly have survived?
“Did those people say anything during the attack?”
Ning Yichu asked further, “Or has anything strange occurred recently?”
Mo Baiyou softly added, “Miss Annette, based on Antony’s wounds, we’ve deduced that the attackers were professional assassins. Their strikes were swift and precise, aiming directly at vital points, which ans Doctor Antony must have held so critical evidence against the perpetrators.”
Annette pressed her pale lips tightly, endeavoring to recall the details of that mont.
After a long silence, as if she rembered sothing, she suddenly looked toward Ning Yichu.
“I rember now… cough… that group of kidnappers didn’t say much when they saw us, but Doctor Antony did say sothing to them…”
Ning Yichu’s expression shifted. She quickly asked, “What did he say?”
“He said… said he hadn’t disclosed anything, so why did they take action?” Annette spoke intermittently, with great effort, but she was determined to finish.
She wanted to uphold justice for Doctor Antony!
Ning Yichu’s heart suddenly tightened.
Disclosed?
Doctor Antony did know sothing!
Recalling how Doctor Antony had been stabbed through the heart while trying to save her, Annette could no longer hold back her tears despite her strength. Her chest heaved heavily, and she was engulfed by imnse sorrow.
Ning Yichu worried she couldn’t handle it. After all, she had just woken up, and her body was still weak. She stopped questioning further.
“We’ve grasped the general situation. Don’t worry, we will find the people who hurt him. You must take care of yourself, too…”
“No, wait, I rember one more thing… cough, cough…”
Just as Ning Yichu was about to adjust the corner of her blanket to let her rest, Annette suddenly mustered her last ounce of strength to grab Ning Yichu’s wrist.
“Doctor Antony… after eting you, he beca very unsettled. He even made several mistakes filling out forms and would mutter that he wasn’t worthy of being a doctor.”
Ning Yichu’s pupils constricted sharply.
Could it be that sothing truly went wrong during her delivery back then?
She quickly pressed further, “We received word that there was an accident at Saint Lya Hospital’s archive room — all the computer records were gone! And coincidentally, Doctor Antony suffered the attack right after eting . I now suspect it’s very possible that he was killed because of sothing related to my pregnancy back then, including that fire being preditated…”
“Wha… what? The archive room is gone…”
Annette was so shocked that it pulled at her wounds, leaving her ashen-faced from the pain. Her forehead beaded with sweat as she lay limply on the bed, unable to recover for a long ti.
Seeing her state, Ning Yichu imdiately regretted her impatience.
Knowing Annette was gravely injured now, how could she let herself lose control and say these things to her…
“…We’ll discuss these matters later. Don’t worry about them now.”
In the quiet room, Annette’s weak yet determined voice echoed, “No… Doctor Antony is dead. I’m the most important clue left. I need to bring those bad people to justice… Do you… have any other questions?”
Every few words she spoke left her gasping for air. Her eyes dimd for several monts, yet she never stopped fighting to speak.
Ning Yichu admired her greatly. To lessen her suffering, she decided to get straight to the point.
“When I was pregnant, did anything unusual happen?”
“At the ti… you were carrying twins… all the examinations were personally handled by Doctor Antony. However, during that period, I noticed he often seed distracted and took phone calls more frequently.”
Ning Yichu’s gaze sharpened. This suggested that Doctor Antony might have already been compromised back then!
But his dical ethics made him deeply conflicted, causing him to beco frequently distracted and agitated…
Mo Baiyou pressed further, “What about the day of delivery?”
“That day… I made a small mistake at work, so Doctor Antony punished … made copy dical orders in his office. Afterward, I heard there was a fire… cough, cough… Lady Ning, if that fire wasn’t an accident, then the person who set it must be the sa one who killed Doctor Antony…”
Annette’s emotions were running high, but her voice grew weaker with each passing mont. Her wide-open eyes were filled with a blood-red haze, like a candle burning to its last flicker before dimming out.
Ning Yichu hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, we will investigate this matter to the end. Just focus on recovering here!”
Whether for herself or for Antony, this matter had to be fully uncovered.
Annette could no longer endure. Her head drooped, and she lost consciousness again.
dical staff imdiately rushed in to perform another round of resuscitation!
…
Ning Yichu and Mo Baiyou walked out together, entering a heavily guarded corridor.
Morning light refracted through the windows, brightening the view.
“According to what Annette just said, Doctor Antony was either bribed or threatened, which pushed him into participating in so events during your pregnancy…” Mo Baiyou analyzed with a furrowed brow.
Ning Yichu agreed but questioned, “But there’s one thing I don’t understand — the attacker set the fire only after I gave birth to the child. If they wanted dead, why didn’t they act during my late pregnancy?”
Wouldn’t it have been easier for an accident to occur then, taking three lives at once?
Later on, she wouldn’t have even had the chance to escape with the child…
“Unless, those people never intended for you or the child to be hard in the first place!” Mo Baiyou’s eyes turned cold, gleaming with fury.
Ning Yichu followed his train of thought, “Then what caused them to change their plan? Why did they decide to act after the child was born?”
Mo Baiyou pondered deeply on this point.
Especially after hearing Annette ntion that Doctor Antony didn’t let her in on that particular surgery…
Surgery… surgery!
A startling thought flashed through his mind.
Mo Baiyou’s face tensed. “Could it be… was there sothing wrong with the twins?”
…
anwhile, with Li Lingyang.
Inside the luxurious hospital room, sunlight poured through the sheer curtains, illuminating every corner in serene silence.
“President Li, this is all the delivery-related information we’ve been able to gather about Lady Ning back in the day…”
Special Assistant Xu stood by the bedside, respectfully handing over a file.
With Saint Lya Hospital’s archive room destroyed…
The dical staff who entered Ning Yichu’s labor room and perford the surgery either went missing or were killed…
They had expended great effort to locate this information!
