Chapter 1690 Exposed
"Okay," Linda nodded and left, her mind swirling with confusion.
As she walked away, Rachel crossed her arms and couldn't help but complain to Elisa. "Seriously, acting is so exhausting. I don't know how those actors manage to do it every day! I mean, we were only doing it for a short while, but they have to endure it for such a long time and be scrutinized by so many people!" She exasperated.
Elisa turned to look at Rachel, her expression serious. "What about the test?" she asked, her tone laced with concern.
Rachel shook her head, a determined look in her eyes. "She's left, so what's the point of getting checked? I knew my plan would work. Look, we have solid evidence. Should we have someone capture it on camera?"
Rachel's suggestion was based solely on the consideration of Elisa's situation. If they were to confront Linda later, having photographic evidence and proof would leave Linda with no chance to defend herself. It would be a decisive blow.
However, Elisa shook her head, a glimmer of calculation in her eyes. "No need for that. There are surveillance cameras in the hospital; besides, it's too early to expose everything. The game has just begun, and we haven't even enjoyed it yet. How can it end so soon?"
As she spoke, a sarcastic and cold smirk played at the corners of Elisa's lips. She had her own plans and knew that rushing things wouldn't be to their advantage.
Little did they know, Jeremy had already called Vincent, hoping to provoke him with some teasing about Rachel's pregnancy.
"I never expected you'd be taken down by Rachel. Pregnancy before marriage, huh? You might as well go ahead and marry her," Jeremy said, his voice laced with amusement.
Vincent was taken aback by the teasing initially, but the last sentence struck a nerve.
Marry her? Is Rachel pregnant? Whose child is it? Is that why she has been refusing me all this time? Thoughts raced through Vincent's mind, and his expression turned sour. He couldn't let this situation go unchecked.
"Is Rachel at the hospital now? Who is with her?" Vincent asked, his voice laced with urgency and concern.
"Elisa," Jeremy replied truthfully, unaware of the full extent of the situation.
As soon as Vincent heard that Elisa was with Rachel, the idea of finding Elisa became especially prominent.
Ultimately, Vincent made the decision to make the trip to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Linda had already inquired at the nurse station about Norman's ward.
Determined to see her father, she walked into the room and was met with the sight of Norman lying on the bed, pale-faced and wearing an oxygen mask, his condition looking severe.
Unable to contain her emotions, Linda rushed forward, her voice filled with concern, "Dad…."
Upon hearing Linda's voice, Norman, who had been feigning unconsciousness, instantly regained his clarity.
However, his face turned dark and gloomy instead. "Why did you come?" he questioned with a tone filled with bitterness.
Didn't he set it up and make Elisa his emergency contact person so that the doctor would definitely call Elisa regarding his severe condition? Even if Elisa didn't care about his life, she wouldn't leave him alone in the hospital, especially considering they still needed to pay the fees.
But why is Linda here instead of Elisa? Norman was disappointed at the sight of Linda, as she was not the person he longed for.
Linda was taken aback, her confusion mounting. "Dad, what's going on? Weren't you in an accident? You…" Her emotions took a complete turn as the realization of the situation struck her.
She understood that everything had been a scheme. Still, instead of feeling a sense of victory for figuring out their tricks, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. Her father was rejecting her, telling her she shouldn't have come, and on top of that, it seemed like Elisa and Rachel had tricked her here.
"My intention was for Elisa to come. Why did you show up here? Did you come alone?" Norman's brows furrowed as he fired off consecutive questions.
Linda realized the gravity of the situation and quickly explained everything to Norman. "They have found out about your true identity. They intentionally tricked you into coming here!" Her voice was filled with concern and frustration as she revealed that piece of information.
