Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 245

Blaise and Cloudia were at each other's throats in Spring Hill, their voices rising and falling in the darkened streets, an echo of discontent under the moonlit sky. Cloudia couldn't shake her worry for Ursula, lying in a hospital bed, her condition gnawing relentlessly at her peace.

Yet, their hands were tied, as the resolution of their current predicament hinged entirely on Stella, a figure shrouded in complexity and now, seemingly, out of reach. Blaise, in his frustration, laid the burden of their troubles at Cloudia's feet, making it impossible for her to even think of returning to the hospital.

The clock struck one in the morning, and sleep eluded both of them as they grappled with the daunting question of how they could possibly approach Stella. Suddenly, Cloudia's phone buzzed, breaking the tense silence.

It's a call from the hospital.

It was the voice of Ms. Miller, a nurse, her tone laced with urgency.

"Ms. Miller, what's going on?" Cloudia asked, anxiety creeping into her voice.

"Ma'am, the entire medical team for Ursula... they've been pulled off. What's happening?" Ms. Miller's voice was tinged with panic.

Cloudia felt her heart skip a beat, her gaze involuntarily darting to Blaise, whose face was etched with weariness and irritation.

Could he be behind this?

Before she could confront him, Ms. Miller continued, "Ursula's in a lot of pain. I went to fetch some painkillers, only to find her dedicated overnight doctor is gone." Cloudia's expression hardened, her worry turning into anger. "What do you mean, gone?"

She gave the hospital so much money, and this was how they treated her daughter?
