Chapter 369

Audrey’s POV

“Well, well, well. The Doctor laughed as he patted my shoulder. “You’ve certainly matured since I last saw you.”

Still picking fights with the medical establishment?” His smile was genuine, almost fond.

‘I was young back then,” I admitted, embarrassed by my former self’s brashness.

The Doctor waved us into his office. The room hadn’t changed. He poured tea with practiced movements before settling into his chair.

“After you left, nobody’s questioned my methods quite like you did.” His expression shifted, business-like now. “But I doubt you’re here for a reunion. Looking for someone?”

I stood immediately, pulling out my phone and finding the photos.

“Do you know these people?” I asked, watching his reaction.

The Doctor barely glanced at the screen before nodding. “They’re in our high-security wing. Three years and still trying to break out weekly. Determined pair.”

I hesitated, uncertain how to phrase my next question. “Who committed them?”

“Their biological daughter,” he said simply.

“Interesting case,” he continued, oblivious to my shock. “Their adoptive daughter left them, so they blackmailed her for money – which she paid. When that ran out, they tried the same trick with their biological daughter, figuring she’d be an easy mark since she was raised wealthy.”

He sipped his tea. “Instead, she had them locked up here. They’ve been with us three years now.”

I processed this, pieces falling into place.

No wonder Malcolm and Ivy disappeared from my life when I married Blake. All this time, I’d assumed they were keeping their distance because of the Parker name and wealth. Never imagined Victoria had them committed.

“Their biological daughter’s got ice in her veins,” The Doctor remarked. “Why the interest in them?”

I looked him directly in the eyes. “I need to take them out for a few days.”

His eyebrows shot up.

“I’m their adoptive daughter.”
