My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 169

Taking a step forward, Director Vance fixed his sharp gaze on Sienna. "Miss Simmons, please step into the examination room."

Instinctively stumbling backward, Sienna's voice shook violently. "I... I don't need an examination."

Director Vance's brow furrowed in disapproval, and he glanced at Lucian.

Standing imposingly beside Seraphina, Lucian's eyes narrowed. "Miss Simmons, didn't you rush to the emergency room precisely because of your agonizing stomach pains? Since you're already here, you should absolutely get examined."

He paused, his voice dropping to a lethal whisper. "Or could it be..."

"That you didn't actually come here for a medical emergency at all?"

A look of absolute, trapped panic flashed across Sienna's face.

Terrified, Zelda threw herself in front of Sienna, flashing a groveling, desperate smile. "Mr. Langford, please, of course she's here for a checkup! She's just incredibly timid. You bringing this entire medical team out of nowhere has simply frightened her."

A mocking sneer curled Lucian's lips. "Frightened? It's a standard ultrasound. Has Miss Sienna never had a routine prenatal checkup before?"

Zelda choked on her words, her flattering smile evaporating into thin air.

Dismissing her entirely, Lucian turned his head. "Director Vance, proceed."

Vance nodded grimly and signaled the nurses waiting behind him.

Two nurses stepped forward, their tones polite but physically unyielding. "Miss Simmons, right this way."

Sienna knew with crushing certainty that it was over. There was no escape.

Her legs turned to jelly, and she was practically dragged into the examination room by the two nurses.

Left standing in the corridor, Zelda's face contorted in sheer terror, shifting from green to pale white.

Having waited in the lobby for far too long, Samuel had finally lost his patience and stormed down the hall to find them.

From a distance, he immediately spotted the chaotic standoff outside the exam room.

Samuel picked up his pace and marched over.

His gaze swept furiously over the assembled crowd before landing on Zelda. He scowled heavily. "What the hell is going on here?"

Paralyzed by sheer panic, Zelda couldn't even formulate a coherent sentence to answer him.

Lucian's voice was sharp and devoid of warmth. "Mr. Simmons, you will find out exactly what is going on very shortly."
