“Are you here for the prenatal examination?” The woman took a glance at Dolores’s belly.
Dolores nodded politely.
“You are so lucky. You had such a grand wedding. I truly envy you,” said Emma with a smile.
Dolores looked at her and asked, “Have we met before?”
“Probably you don’t know me, but I know you,” said Emma, still smiling.
Dolores slightly creased her brows, recalling the woman in her mind, but she was sure that she had never seen her before.
“How did you get to know me then? May I know who you are?” In face of a stranger, Dolores was quite alert. She picked up her handbag, pulling out the cell phone.
Once anything happened, she could call for help right away.
Watching her, Emma thought to herself, ‘This woman is quite highly alert.’
“Have you received the wedding gift from me? Did you wear it and show it to your husband?”
Dolores’s expression changed dramatically. It turned out the lingerie was from this woman. She wondered who this woman was and what she wanted. How could Boyce fail to find anything about her?
“Who the heck are you?” Dolores clenched her fists tightly, feeling extremely uneasy.
Her intuition told her that this woman came to her intentionally and she had an evil purpose.
“You don’t need to know who I am. I’m just an unlucky woman. You came here for the prenatal examination, but I...”
Emma pointed in the direction where the surgery room was, “I came here for the abortion.”
After that, she stood up, “I meant it. I truly envy you. Your husband loves you and cares about your children, but I can’t give birth to my baby.”
“What on earth do you want to tell me? Why are you telling me those things?” Dolores asked in a cold tone.
“I don’t mean anything. I just want to tell someone about my depression. After all, a mistress’s child is unnecessary to come to this world. Besides, my baby’s father has a wife and children. How could my baby exist? Probably, that man came to me on his impulse... I believe he still loves his wife. Otherwise, how could he treat her so well?” she deliberately misled Dolores.
After finishing her words, she turned away.
Dolores frowned more deeply, wondering what the woman meant.
She implied something between her lines.
Dolores pulled out the phone and dialed Boyce’s number.
Right then, Boyce was answering a call. The men he sent to follow Emma had lost the target, so they were reporting it to Boyce now.
“What happened? How could you lose her?” Boyce snapped.
“She should have seen me. She went to the ladies but didn’t come out for a long time. When I went into the bathroom to search for her, she’s already gone. I couldn’t follow her all the way into the ladies. Hence... it’s my fault.”
“I got it. Try to find her and continue following her.” Boyce was worried. Emma obviously had an evil intention. She purposely sent a gift to Dolores at her wedding and could sensitively find that someone was following her and get rid of them. Obviously, she was quite scheming.
Right then, Boyce heard an alert tone on his phone, indicating that there was an incoming call. He said, “Find her as soon as possible.”
After that, he hung up the phone and swiped to answer the incoming call, “Hello?”
“It’s me.” Dolores grabbed her cell phone and looked around in the corridor, “I know who has sent me the box at the wedding.”
Boyce paused and asked, “How... how did you know it?”
“I’ve met her. It’s a woman. She said a lot of weird words to me. Could you please help me check her up?”
“I can help you. Please tell me where you’ve met her. Does Matthew know it?” asked Boyce.
Now he could be sure completely that Emma deliberately approached Dolores. She should aim for doing something evil.
“He doesn’t know it. I haven’t told him yet. Don’t forget to inform me after you got the information.”
