Upon seeing that the doctor couldn’t quite answer him, Shane’s patience snapped, and he forcefully shoved him aside.
The doctor stumbled back several steps away from the operating table, upon which the nurse quickly steadied him.
Without anyone stopping him, Shane finally removed the towel from Natalie’s mouth.
The moment Natalie obtained freedom, she used her last vestige of strength to declare in a voice brimming with hatred, “Shane, our child isn’t deformed! This is all a ploy. Sean conspired with all the hospitals to abort our baby. Quick, lodge a police report!” As she spoke, her eyes were fixated on the doctor and nurse.
After saying that, she could no longer hold out and passed out.
It was already astounding that she managed to remain conscious after having been anesthetized for such a long time.
Knowing that her child was saved now that Shane had come in, she finally succumbed to the anesthesia.
Meanwhile, her words had the entire operating theater plunging into silence.
The doctor and nurse were entirely thrown off. Their knees went weak, and they both collapsed onto the floor with devastation written all over their faces.
Stifling the urge to kill them both, Shane snagged the scalpel and cut off the bandages restraining Natalie. Then, he carried her off the operating table.
At that exact moment, the doors of the operating theater swung open once again, admitting a group of medical staff.
The elderly man in the lead demanded sternly, “Who’s making trouble here?”
He frowned as his gaze swept over the doctor and nurse, who were slumped on the floor. When he finally shifted his gaze back to Shane, who was carrying Natalie, irritation was etched on his face. “Are you the one kicking up a fuss here?”
Shane recognized the elderly man as Hans Brandt, an internationally renowned cardiologist cum director of this hospital.
“You’re just right on time, Dr. Brandt. The doctors and nurses in the obstetrics and gynecology department of your hospital accepted a bribe and deceived my wife that her child was deformed to maliciously abort the baby. Please give me an explanation for this matter. Otherwise, I don’t mind razing your hospital to the ground,” Sean declared in a chilly voice, his gaze boring right into the hospital director.
