Return Of The Heiress For Revenge - Chapter 80

Chapter 80: Not Friends

“…..” silence fell. Everyone looked at the woman with a complex look but she still did not notice it. She snatched her child and hugged her as if she was cherishing her. Only when she calmed down did she realize what she had done. But she had no regrets. If her child would have been operated without a reason, then she could not have forgiven herself.

She kissed her child and closed her eyes. After a whole minute she finally looked at all of them.

“I have done this for my personal grievances. It had nothing to do with anyone. I have called the reporters and told them that I have good news for them and asked them to come here. From the start to the end, everything was planned by me because I do not like this hospital. How they try to be grand and caring when in reality no one cares.” She took another deep breath and passed the child to her worried husband, “you can take me to the police chief or anything you want to do now. I do not care.” her voice did not have a hint of hesitation as she looked at Nora instead of Alric.

Before she was too worried, but now that she was thinking straight, she realized it was all planned by Nora from the start to the end.

“He was not taken to the operation. Was he?” she asked, looking at Nora instead of the doctor. Nora smiled as she shook her head.

“It was as the previous doctor said, your child was only sleeping. I am sorry.” The woman shook her head. They were shrewd but she did not blame them.

“I have underestimated everything.” she sighed and then finally looked at Alric. “Do not include my husband and child, they are innocent.” Alric looked at the kid and then at the woman. The staff came forward and held the woman and took her away. The woman did not struggle. She bowed her head in front of Alric for thanking him and then left with his eyes closed with remorse.

Nora was surprised that Alric let go of the man and the child. Slowly the crowd started to dissipate.

Adam walked closer to Nora. “how did you know about all this? When you messaged me, the woman had just started shouting.” he looked at her with confusion. Nora finally took his gaze away from Alric and smiled at Adam.

“I noticed how she was holding her child closely. I was sure she loved the kid so she would not harm him. She only wanted to create a scene.” Nora shrugged. “But I never knew that you can act so well. If you ever get bored of being a doctor, you can try your luck in acting.” Adam shook his head but the beaming smile on his face said otherwise.

Alric looked at both of them standing closer, smiling to each other and chatting so normally as if they knew each other for a long time. He did not realize when his eyes turned icy and he took a step back and left.

His face was so cold and he felt a strange frustration in his chest.

“Follow that man and find out who he meets.” he said to his assistant who was waiting for him at the door.

The man nodded and left the building with hurried steps. Alric turned to look at the door again, Nora was still not coming out.

He gritted his teeth and left for his office and pressed the bell.

Adam was still smiling at her when a nurse came running and told him about an emergency. She looked at Nora and then hesitated before adding that it was too urgent.

“You should leave now. I will come back for my check up.” Adam sighed and left with the nurse with a grave face.

Nora walked out of the hospital. She hesitated only for a second when she stood in front of Alric’s office but left without entering it. Just as she walked past the door, the door opened and a young woman called for her.

“Miss Nora, Sir wanted to talk to you for a second.” The woman spoke very politely and Nora followed her.

The woman did not enter the office but closed the door behind her.

“Sit!” Alric was reading a file. He did not raise his head to look at her. Nora pursed her lips as she sat down.

“I am not with Alex because he went home. Since he is with family I do not need to keep an eye on him.” she spoke without him asking. “I was here for my regular check up and I was leaving.” his expressions did not change but his grip on the pen tightened slightly.

“I want you to give a statement to the police bureau since you were the sole witness who is not related with the case.” understanding flashed in her eyes and she nodded when she heard his indifferent voice. And a rueful smile appeared on her lips. She had thought that she was being perfect in dealing with these kinds of schemes but she had forgotten the basic rule.

“Are you planning to charge her for a civil case or criminal case?” how could a ruthless person like Alric let go of his enemies. He would teach them a good lesson.

Alric’s pen paused for a second. And he finally looked at her. Her face was covered with sweat and she looked pale. He frowned and passed her the glass of water startling her.

“Neither! I am only proving it to clear the name of the hospital. Now take it!” he frowned deeper when she only blinked and did not take the glass. He could notice how she was on her guard as if he was an enemy. She did not have that guard up with Adam. she was smiling sweetly at him as if…

“Adam is at least 4-5 years older to you.”
