Chapter 272: Chapter 272

“Nevermind. It wasn’t that you were in the state to listen to anything.” Ambrose brushed the topic.

“Did he return or any of his puppets?”

“No. It looks like Liara is not the only one who lost all her strength. Moreover, his hunter brother is around. So, I doubt he will come.”

“He is your nephew. If you want….”

“Theooo…”

“I was just suggesting. Guess what? Drop that part because I think he already knows that you’re his uncle. That man knows everything about people around his sister after I stole her under his nose.” Theodore said before adding, “We will be there soon.”

“Umm.. yeah!! Her Assistant had transferred her patients to other doctors, but one of them is still here. The girl has been in a coma for more than four years or something.” Ambrose updated him.

“I will update this to her,” Theodore said before disconnecting the call.

After having lunch, the doctor in charge of Liara checked on her for one last time before discharging her. To be honest, she couldn’t find anything wrong with Liara both before or after she was awake.

“I don’t think I need to tell you about the precaution that you have to take in the early stage of pregnancy, Dr. Wayne.” She spoke, on which Liara smiled.

“I would like to book an appointment next week for an ultrasound to see how she is doing.”

“He… he is doing.” Theodore corrected Liara, who rolled her eyes.

“Well, by the end of one month, you both can find the gender of the pup. And by the end of the second week, the pup’s heartbeat.” All these things were new to Theodore, and now, he couldn’t wait for the month's end to confirm that Griffin was coming, not Kennedy.

When Liara returned back to the black council, the first thing she did was to visit her patients after freshening up, who were at the mercy of her Assistant, junior doctors, and her colleagues who took charge in their hands in her absence.

Theodore didn’t dare to ask her to take a rest because he needed to understand that his woman knew what she was doing. He would intervene only when he would find that she was stressing herself a lot with her work.

The moment Liara walked inside the hospital, she sensed a scent, a scent familiar to her niece, Roselet. But that scent didn’t belong to her. Her heart started pounding loudly against her ribcage in excitement and happiness that she finally found the woman who had given birth to her niece.

She was stopped by a couple of staff who asked her ‘how she was doing and feeling now?’ She tried not to snap at them just because they were indirectly stopping her from meeting the woman whom her brother had been searching for years.

She wanted to ask her why did she leave her daughter? How could a mother do this to any of her pups?

‘Maybe she was poor and couldn’t afford to raise Rose?’ Destiny offered her suggestion.

‘In that case, both Calvin and she could have figured out something. Calvin was a playboy but not a heartless or irresponsible person who wouldn’t have accepted his daughter even though she was a result of his mistake or, say, his casanova nature.’

After ending the little conversation with them, she finally followed her sensing skill.

‘Why will she be here? Is someone from her family sick? But then, why will she come here for that little thing? Any pack hospital can deal with that tiny issue?’

‘Or maybe she is the same woman who has been in a coma for more than four years?’ Destiny reminded her. Liara calculated the time since that woman was in a coma and then Roselet’s age.

Her heart clenched when she realized that Destiny was true.

In the end, she pushed the door of the room from where that scent was coming, and in a second, all the complaints, anger, and questions that she had held in her heart, that she wanted to ask from Roselet’s mother vanished when Liara saw the state of her niece’s mother.

‘Ethlyn Smith.’

A lone tear escaped from Liara’s eyes when she finally found out why no one ever could find Ethlyn. Because all this time, she was almost brain dead, her body was able to survive only because of artificial life support.
