Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 220

Chapter 220

Tiana slipped out of her scrubs, put on her shades, and dashed down the corridor, only to bump into Dr. Horatio.

He and another doctor were hurrying from the Nephrology Department to the Oncology Department, saying, “I just made a promise to Elaine, and now this girl wants even more!”

Tiana froze.

What promise? Squinting behind her sunglasses, she trailed them discreetly.

The stomach cancer ward in the Oncology Department was on the most harshly conditioned fifth floor.

As Dr. Horatio and the doctor entered, a gaunt figure lunged at them, only to be stopped by a bodyguard. The girl begged desperately, “Dr. Horatio, yes, we agreed on 300 thousand dollars, but now my dad’s cancer needs proton therapy, and the hospital says it’s another hundred grand. You promised me that as long as I made the donation, you’d help treat my dad as much as possible. I had no choice. Please, can you give me another hundred grand? I have nothing left to sell.”

“Shut up!” Dr. Horatio’s face turned stormy as he had the bodyguard silence the girl and drag her into an emergency stairwell.

Other visitors in the hallway glanced over, assuming it was just a hospital disturbance, and soon lost interest.

Tiana had thought the same, but then she remembered hearing the word ‘donation’. Thus, she pressed her mask tighter to her face, inching closer to the stairwell.

To her surprise, Dr. Horatio and the other doctor came out.

Tiana quickly ducked into a patient’s room.

Once they were gone, she frowned and stepped into the stairwell.

In the dim light, the skeletal girl was sobbing. Beaten and bruised, her fists pounded the floor in helpless anger. “What am I supposed to do? I have nothing left to sell. Why are these doctors so heartless, leaving Dad to die…”

Tiana watched her for a moment; then it clicked: Why could she not find any leads on those four transplant patients in Nephrology? Why was there nothing odd about the kidney data? Maybe Elaine had not struck there at all!
