Chapter 256
Ethan had actually flown Cole’s mentor into the country! Just to examine her, to treat her-
Is… is Cole here?”
he foreigner pointed toward the ceiling. “At this hour, he should be seeing patients upstairs.”
Chloe took a sharp breath. Could Cole have played her?
Lie down. Don’t be nervous. It’s just a routine checkup.” The foreign doctor adjusted his glasses.
Chloe stood frozen. She instinctively reached for her pocket, but it was empty.
Her bag was with Ethan, and her phone was inside it. She desperately wanted to call Cole and ask what was going ›n, but…
Ms. Bennett, there’s no need to be so tense.” Seeing her motionless, the doctor patted the exam table. “Please lie lown. There are people waiting outside.”
Chloe took a deep breath, fighting the urge to bolt out of the room. She lay flat on the table.
Lift your shirt.”
The doctor began organizing his instruments. Seeing her remain stiff, he prompted her again.
Chloe gripped the hem of her shirt. “I… I just remembered something I need to tell Cole. Could you help me give
im a call?”
You can go upstairs and find him once we’re finished.”
The foreign doctor was ready. He looked at Chloe and raised an eyebrow, signaling for her to hurry.
Chloe slowly, tentatively pulled her shirt up.
Can’t I just make one call? I’ll only be a second.”
The doctor, wearing his mask, let a flash of impatience flicker through his blue-brown eyes. “Ms. Bennett, I am
urrently working.”
The rejection was clear.
Chloe’s heart was in her throat. She had no choice but to lift her shirt fully. The air in the room felt freezing gainst her skin, and the cold gel of the instrument only made the chill deeper.
Your condition…”
Before the doctor could finish, a set of footsteps echoed from the inner door.
A second later, Cole Preston appeared in the exam room, holding his phone. “Master, there’s an emergency in the research lab. I couldn’t get through to your phone.”
Before he even finished speaking, the foreign doctor set the instrument down and stood up, taking the phone from Cole’s hand.
Chloe swallowed hard, turning her head to look at them.

I’ll take over here. Go take care of that.” Cole sat down and took the wand, moving it across Chloe’s abdomen.
The foreign doctor hurried out through the inner door.
Cole pulled a USB drive from his pocket, inserted it into the machine, and imported a saved image.
Get up.”
Where were you!” Chloe immediately straightened her clothes and stood up, her voice a sharp whisper. “You
lmost came too late!”
Cole mapped the fake ultrasound image onto Chloe’s official report. “If you’re so certain you have me by the hroat, Ms. Bennett, what are you so afraid of?”
He sounded cold and sarcastic.
You did that on purpose, didn’t you?” Chloe’s face was pale with anger.
Cole printed the report and handed it to her. “Take what you wanted and get out.”
