CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1734

“I don’t know,” the nurse replied. “She said there was an emergency at home and she had to leave immediately.”

Karina’s chest tightened, and her fingers curled into fists. The more she thought about it, the more something felt off. Could it really just be a coincidence?

It seemed far more likely that the intern knew she was about to be exposed and decided to disappear before they could question her—cutting off all leads and leaving them with nowhere to turn.

While Karina felt heavy with unease, Wilfred seemed much calmer. It was as if he had anticipated this outcome all along.

“Thank you for your efforts,” he said to the nurse, his tone steady and composed.

He then turned his attention to Karina, his gaze lingering on her for a moment before turning away and walking off.

Karina quickly followed him out of the room.

The nurse couldn’t hold back any longer and called after her, “Dr. Norman, when did you get so close to Dr. Wilfred? Everyone’s saying he’s grooming you to be his second-in-command. Is that true?”

Karina’s face flushed with embarrassment. Wilfred had mentioned it, but it wasn’t something she could confidently confirm, let alone broadcast. “I don’t know anything about that,” she replied hastily before making a quick exit to avoid further questions.

Down the hallway, Wilfred hadn’t gone far. He stood there in his white coat, hands in his pockets, exuding an air of authority. People walked past him, but no one dared to interrupt him, giving the impression he was waiting for someone.

Karina hesitated, her heartbeat slowing as she approached cautiously, unsure if she should disturb the moment.

But Wilfred turned on his own and looked at her. “We’ll dig further into this later. Names and identities can’t just vanish into thin air,” he said calmly, clearly referring to the missing intern.

Karina nodded, startled by his certainty.

Suddenly, a loud shout echoed from behind them. “You incompetent doctor! Stop right there!”

Karina spun around to see the same angry family members from days ago—the elderly couple and a younger man. This time, they weren’t empty-handed. Each carried makeshift weapons—bricks, wooden bats—and their expressions were filled with rage.
