"But…" Bianca hesitated.
"Don't worry, Nina. All you have to do now is to take care of yourself and get well soon. Where is your ID? I'll handle the procedure for you," Bianca said determinedly, not giving Nina any chance to think twice.
She respected Nina's decision not to tell Percy, but she would take care of Nina's other needs.
Nina pointed at the bedside cabinet. "It's in the second drawer."
Bianca opened the second drawer and found her ID. "Hold on for a while. I'll get it done for you."
Nina watched Bianca step past the curtains and disappear from view. She sighed.
Other than money, there was another reason why Nina chose to be warded in a triple-bedder. There were other people in the ward; it disturbed her peace, but it made her feel good.
With so many people going in and out of the ward, she would be distracted by the noise, so she felt less lonely.
Meanwhile, Maxine walked domineeringly along the corridor of the plastic surgery department on another floor of the hospital, followed by two bodyguards. She pushed open every door and ignored the nurses' questions.
She did not find the person she was looking for, so she went to the next ward. There were three women inside. Two of them were recuperating from the surgery earlier that day, while the third was Hera Sanchez, who was warded only today.
"Ms… Douglas?" Hera opened her eyes wide. How did Maxine find her?
Maxine turned her head and said brusquely to the nurse, "Hear that? We know each other."
The nurse thought that it seemed to be the case, though she warned Maxine, "Please keep it down. You're in the hospital."
Hera knew why Maxine was looking for her. She had changed her number and laid low in another city for a while to evade Maxine. She only came back because she thought that the coast was clear.
She did not expect Maxine to find her only a day after she came back.
Hera could not understand why a mere sugar baby could be so influential.
Maxine shot a glare at the nurse, then turned toward Hera and smiled sinisterly. "I've been looking for you for a long time, Hera Sanchez."
"I was on a business trip away from A City, Ms. Douglas. Why were you looking for me?" Hera smiled and pretended to be oblivious, though she was cursing in her heart.
She did not expect that Maxine was not a fool. Maxine had tried to get people to abduct her the day after the transaction. Fortunately, she was smart enough not to be cornered by those burly men. After finding out that Maxine was hunting for her, she instantly escaped to another city.
Only an idiot would stay there and wait for disaster to strike again.
"Oh? Does your business trip require you to change your phone number? You're messing with the wrong person, Hera Sanchez," Maxine walked over and towered over Hera.
"I was overseas, so I replaced my SIM card," Hera lied.
"Enough nonsense. Tell me, what do you have to say about the information you gave me?" Maxine said impatiently and glared at Hera disdainfully.
She accessed the USB drive the moment after she got home. It was indeed full of Bianca's dirt, but there was no direct evidence.
There were no recordings, and the photos were proven to be edited. She could not use them against Bianca.
