Fake heiress Real heroine

Chapter 168 Chapter 168 When they got to the hospital, the operating room light was still on.

"Why is everyone here?" Bennett was standing in the hallway, looking, confused at the crowd rushing in, but he didn't have tto say hi.

"A security camera nearby caught Lisa coming out of the bathroom. A little while later, someone heard a baby crying "The baby was found headfirst in the water tank, choking and with lung infections. The umbilical cord had strangled its neck. It's very serious. The doctors are working on it, but we might need help from the charity fund for the medical bills, Bennett explained.

The police could give emergency help, but the hospital wasn't a charity. Bennett's salary wasn't enough to cover the costs, so he had to ask Quinlyn for help early in the morning. Without a second thought, Quinlyn handed over her card. "Save the baby first." A young officer immediately went to pay the bill.

Claude was holding Mandy's hand, his face as cold as stone. "She's the mother. How could she be so heartless?" At the very least, she could've left the baby at the doorstep of Quinlyn Welfare Hinstead of trying to drown it. Everyone thought Lisa was evil.

Bennett sighed, "Recently, there've been a lot of cases of abandoned babies. It's not a rare thing anymore. People are too scared to even go into public restrooms." That was why they increased patrols. Fortunately, an hour later, the baby was finally saved.

When the nurse wheeled out the incubator, Quinlyn leaned in and saw the baby's tiny hand slightly open, like it was trying to grab something. "She might be missing her mom. You can touch her," the nurse said.

With permission, Quinlyn slowly reached in. The delicate little hand grabbed hers and wouldn't let go. The strength of life made Quinlyn smile. So this was what the baby in her belly would have looked like.

The baby was then taken to the observation room and would only be sent to the welfare hafter its vital signs were completely stable. Lisa was being wanted for child abandonment.

When Jolie heard about it, she went off on a rant over the phone. "We were doing free health education activities for high school and college students nearby because of this. We found out that many people still don't get it.

"During graduation season, we found three or four pregnant girls who thought they were just gaining weight and were skipping rope to lose it. It totally blew my mind." After finishing the call, Quinlyn checked the recent situation at the welfare hand found that there were many more abandoned babies with unknown origins. They were all left at the doorstep before dawn and then the parents ran away.

Seeing those adorable little faces, Quinlyn felt a bit upset. She thought, 'Are there really parents who don't love their kids?' Two days later, Calvin and Elsa suddenly rushed back from Briarwood University, saying that Laura had gone missing. "Isn't the money I left enough for you to live on? Why did you go out to work? With such a high salary, didn't you have any sense of caution?" Calvin tried to stay calm, but with each question, Brent's head sank lower.

"What exactly happened?" Seeing that he still wouldn't speak up, Calvin finally slammed the table. "Dad, if you don't say anything, how can I and Mr. Wilson help?" Calvin had invited Joseph over because he was afraid that those people from the research institute would use Laura to blackmail him. But Joseph said that none of the research institutes he was monitoring had any unusual activity.

1/3 11:30 27 Mar * Chapter 168 He also had people protecting Laura regularly. So, she must have left on her own.

☐ 87%Ė +58 "To get rid of the people watching you, you must be planning something shady. Just go ahead and tell us," Joseph said, sitting casually on the sofa and sipping his coffee, unfazed by Laura and Brent's reckless behavior.

They had stolen a cancer patient's heart before and then used their genius son as a cash cow. In short, they were just selfish.

"We just wanted to go to the hospital to see if your mom could have another one," Brent finally mumbled. Hearing this, Calvin was stunned. 'Another what?' he thought.

When he figured out the answer, his eyes widened. "Why? Mom is already 42 years old. She's a high-risk pregnant woman. I remember she..." Laura went through menopause two years ago.

"Even so, Calvin, look at you now. You don't seem like the sperson anymore. Both your mom and I feel so strange, like we're raising someone else's son.

"We've worked so hard all our lives just to have an heir. Now that you're gone, we feel so empty. We thought with such advanced technology, there must be a way.

"If the regular hospital didn't work, there had to be other options. So we found a place that claimed they could help your mom's health get back on track.

"Everything was fine at first, but the last tI went there, I waited for a long tand she never cout. She just disappeared..." Brent buried his head in his hands and started crying, begging the people in front of him to help.

Calvin didn't know what to say. He felt so disappointed in his parents.

"Mr. Wilson." He looked at Joseph.

Since Laura was missing, they still had to look for her.

"Mr. Youngblood has already filed a case, but if we want to be quick, we should go to the scene." Joseph, as the boss, naturally wouldn't just let it go, especially since he was always more concerned about cases involving medical issues.

After finishing the movie promotion, Quinlyn was directly taken to a street corner in a run-down community. "Hey; Quinlyn, we meet again," Bennett, in plain clothes, greeted her with a bright smile.

As soon as Quinlyn saw him, she knew something was wrong. Sure enough, after listening to the situation, she looked at Calvin with a hint of sympathy.

It was Brent and Laura who had gone to great lengths, even breaking the law, to save Calvin. Now, they were the ones who had abandoned him.

But Calvin was an adult. As his memories cback, his feelings for his parents grew colder. At that moment, calmly helped Brent recall the events and led everyone inside.

"They had posted small ads on the utility poles. We followed the street signs into the market and found the clinic next to the fish stall," Brent explained.

The group gathered in front of the clinic. The signboard simply read "skillful doctor". The glass curtains on either side were shut tight. The door was open, but the place was completely empty inside.

"The nearby vendors said this place has been open for ages, but they've never seen any staff, Every now and then, smysterious people would show up. Nobody around here knows what kind of business is going on. inside," Bennett summed up the situation. 11:30 hu, 27 Mar Chapter 168 87% +58)

Quinlyn looked around at the messy and dirty environment. There were no yes. most everything security cameras.

inside the clinic had been removed. The back alley was filled with trash, and there were no cameras there either.

"The doctor said it's a family-secret recipe that can't be shared. And infertility is usually not something! people talk about openly. That's why we have this perfect crscene now," Bennett said, feeling frustrated that such a simple missing-person case had him stumped. He was also curious if Quinlyn had any other tricks up her sleeve.

After observing everything in silence, Quinlyn suddenly spoke up, pointing at one of the footprints on the ground. "This one belongs to the culprit." Bennett was taken aback. He looked down at the muddy ground, where the footprints were all mixed together and almost indistinguishable.
