“Oh my gosh! That is way too scary.” Sally rubbed her arms. “Nat, who do you think the real culprits are? They must have incredible connections to transfer Amy and Tiffanie to a high-security prison.”
Natalie pursed her lips. “I don’t know. But this definitely isn’t the end. I’m not sure if the organizers are aware of this.”
“If they knew, that means the organizer is on the same boat as the culprit.” Sally somberly stated.
Natalie pinched her nose bridge. “All in all, it’s better if we don’t tell the organizer about this. If the organizers are covering for the culprit, and we tell them about our assumptions, it will piss them off. The organizers might make things hard for us.”
“Then what should we do?” Sally frowned.
Natalie tapped on the steering wheel. “Let’s investigate it privately. We’ll head to a detective agency later.”
There should be some findings within three months.
Sally nodded. “I guess that’s all we can do. Anyway, let’s go to the hospital now.”
Natalie nodded.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the hospital.
Even though it wasn’t the hospital Natalie previously went to, this hospital was still one of the largest in the area.
Natalie and Sally went to register at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department.
One of the nurse’s eyes glinted when she saw Natalie’s name. “Miss, please follow me.”
“Sal, I’ll be going then.” Natalie passed her purse to Sally.
“Go ahead. I’ll wait for you here.”
Natalie smiled and followed the nurse to the examination room.
A doctor was already waiting there.
The nurse introduced, “Dr. Pitt, this is Ms. Smith.”
An almost undiscernible gleam flashed across the doctor’s eyes at the nurse’s words. “All right. You may leave.”
The nurse left the room.
Natalie’s heart dropped when she noticed his expression. She unconsciously balled her fists.
Could it be that my baby really has a problem?
“Doctor?” Natalie urged when Dr. Pitt stayed silent.
Dr. Pitt sighed, “Ms. Smith, I’m sorry to say that your baby is deformed.”
“What?” Natalie was thunder-struck by his comment. Her face paled significantly. “Deformed? Are you saying that my baby is not developing normally?”
“That’s right. It’s very likely that your baby won’t develop normal limbs or intact organs. Do you understand me?” Dr. Pitt looked at Natalie intently.
Natalie’s body swayed, and she almost fell but managed to hold on to the table.
“How did this happen?” Natalie bit her lip and stared fixedly at Dr. Pitt. “When I had my checkup earlier, my baby was fine. There wasn’t any problem, so how is it-”
“Anything could happen during the early stages of pregnancy. There are many examples of babies who were healthy in the first few months but didn’t make it to delivery.” Dr. Pitt interrupted her.
Natalie’s entire body was shaking like a leaf. She couldn’t accept his words.
