Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 219

Lyra swiftly ushered the two surgeons into the room.

Elaine crossed her arms, “Gentlemen, I’ve paid you handsomely, and I know back when you were interns in Midtown, you were well looked after by the Bartels Hospital. My mother mentioned it. A little gratitude goes a long way. Now, about Natalie’s surgery, we must tie up all loose ends! That girl…”

“Don’t worry, Ms. Elaine. If anyone comes sniffing around, they won’t find a thing. The kidney transplant patients, the donors, everything is spotless.

The girl we found for you was a relative from the oncology ward, not connected to the transplant department at all. She took the money and had no idea who the buyer was. This secret is buried deep.”

Only then did Elaine nod, her face still frosty. She furrowed her brow, saying, “Get me the list of all the female nurses in your department.”

Dr. Horatio was perplexed,

Lyra snapped, “There was a suspicious nurse in your office just now. Ms. Elaine wants an inspection.”

Reluctantly, Dr. Horatio had the head nurse bring in the name list of all the female nurses.

It included photographs, and Elaine quickly flipped through it, not finding a single pair of eyes that matched the masked nurse she had seen earlier.

“Is this everyone?”

“There are some temps, too, but it’s a hassle to list them all. The hospital isn’t very strict about managing temp nurses.”

Elaine pondered, then relaxed slightly, thinking the suspicious nurse must have been a temp and likely not a threat.

She admonished, “Tighten up the management of your patient files during this period. Be vigilant about who enters and leaves the office!”

Dr. Horatio felt she was being paranoid. “Don’t worry, Ms. Elaine, we’ve got it all under control. There’s not a trace to be found.”

Elaine looked into his eyes and smiled faintly. “Good.”

After she and Lyra left, Elaine paused in the hallway and looked back at the two doctors in the director’s office.

With a cold snort and expressionless face, she muttered, “Those doctors’ greed makes them untrustworthy. I can’t touch them now with Ludwik asking questions, but once the old hag kicks the bucket, their lips must be sealed.”
