Chapter 1273
John approached Aunt Wanda and stopped right in front of her. He looked at the baby that was sleeping soundly in her arms, and a soft look surfaced in his eyes.
He turned to Aunt Wanda and smiled politely. “I suppose you’re Wanda?”
Aunt Wanda was startled by this. “How did you know?”
“I’m John, the father of this child.”
Aunt Wanda was flabbergasted by this revelation.
She turned to Ben as if to seek confirmation.
Ben nodded at her from a distance as he could not get close to her.
Aunt Wanda frowned. “You… What are you doing here? This child belongs to Miss Sherry. She gave birth to her and you don’t have any right to take her away.”
John chuckled mockingly. “As if she’d ever exist if not for
me.”
Aunt Wanda grimaced and continued clutching onto the baby tightly.
John motioned. “Aunt Wanda, please hand her over.”
Aunt Wanda refused to budge.
Several bodyguards began to approach her.
Aunt Wanda was shivering with fright by this point as she shouted and protested, “This is Miss Sherry’s child, don’t even think about it!”
John remarked with a calm smile, “They won’t be rough with her. Just hand me the baby peacefully and I promise you that nothing will happen to her.”
Aunt Wanda eyed him suspiciously and adamantly held onto Caprice.
John remarked in a slightly threatening voice, “I’m sure you don’t want them to wake her up either.”
Aunt Wanda felt her voice caught in her throat.
Even if she refused to hand her over, these men would take her away by force, one way or another.
Caprice was a baby, frail and weak. If anything were to happen to her amid the struggle…
With that in mind, she heaved a long sigh and reluctantly handed Caprice over.
John carefully took the baby.
He felt the tender, soft skin of his daughter. There was now a measured gentleness in his gesture as if he was handling a priceless jewel. It seemed to him that the slightest force would disrupt the baby from her sleep.
Slowly and carefully, he took her in his arms and pressed her against his chest.
room.
He quickly enquired, “Hi, could I know where Sherry Fowler is? She’s the mother residing inside this ward.‘

The nurse answered dutifully, “Miss Sherry should be in the middle of her postpartum inspection, it’s located on the second floor.”
Peter turned to look at John.
John was hunched over and looking at his daughter dotingly. He ordered them without averting his eyes from his daughter, “Bring two men with you and find her.”
“Understood.” Peter immediately summoned two bodyguards to go with him.
The room immediately fell silent after that.
The two remaining bodyguards were vigilantly standing guard a short distance away from John.
Ben and Aunt Wanda stood together awkwardly. She was warily staring at John. Meanwhile, Ben sneakily reached for his phone and sent a text message to someone.
After about ten minutes, Peter returned.
He went straight to John with a frown zipped across his brows. He informed him in a hushed voice, “Sir, we checked all the rooms on the second floor but found no signs of Miss Sherry. The nurses mentioned that she was
there minutes ago but suddenly disappeared. They don’t know where she could’ve gone.
