With Claire on board, the performance went off without a hitch.
To be fair, the Darwin family's blinding greed made it far too easy.
Beatrice managed to restrain herself for exactly one day before her impatience took over.
She subtly tried to send away the assistant and nurse Karla had assigned, insisting that she could handle the night shift alone.
After quickly checking in with Karla, the assistant agreed to Beatrice's request.
"That actually works out perfectly. I'm exhausted from looking after Sienna these past few days. I'd love to head back to the hotel and get some real sleep tonight."
Trixie feigned total gratitude, acting as if Beatrice was doing her a massive favor.
Beatrice smiled warmly. "Then hurry back and rest."
"She's my own flesh and blood, of course I adore her. Don't you worry, I won't sleep a wink tonight. I'll watch over her like a hawk."
Trixie ran through a list of medical precautions, specifically emphasizing that the IV must not be removed and the oxygen supply could never be shut off.
Beatrice nodded enthusiastically, promising she wouldn't make a single mistake, and Trixie pretended to buy it completely.
"Thanks for taking on the hard work tonight, Beatrice. I'll be back to relieve you first thing in the morning."
Beatrice waved her off dismissively. "Go get some rest."
"Wait, actually, Beatrice... Karla mentioned there's a document that needs to be dropped off on the third floor. My stomach is suddenly in knots. Would you mind running it down for me?"
Beatrice internally groaned.
She hated navigating the massive hospital and didn't want to exert the effort.
But to ensure Trixie left without suspicion, she forced a smile and agreed.
"It gets pretty busy down there, so if the front desk is empty, just wait a few minutes."
Clutching the paperwork, Beatrice walked out of the room.
Instead of heading straight for the third floor, she immediately dialed her husband's number.
"I'm going to be alone with Zoe tonight!"
She felt like an absolute genius for finally securing the perfect opportunity.
But Thomas just cursed at her stupidity over the line.
"Are you out of your mind? You can't be the only one in there!"
