Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 387

The car took a hidden route around half the mountain, and a young girl got out, umbrella in hand, walking towards an old two-story house. Natalie was laid down on a bed by Drew, completely unconscious, her lips turning blue, with two doctors beside her, drawing blood for tests.

"We can't let her die just yet. Ms. Sheldon wants to understand the old lady's health condition," Myra whispered, her instructions cloaked in shadow. The doctors nodded in agreement.

The girl covered her nose with a handkerchief, standing away from the window.

Soon, one of the doctors approached with the preliminary blood test results, appearing surprised, "Ms. Sheldon, this Natalie... her blood type, it's RH negative 'panda blood,' and it matches yours..." Myra was taken aback.

The girl moved the handkerchief away, revealing her pale features.

Her lips curled into a slight smile, her eyes twinkling with something unspoken.

She touched her wrist, where her veins pulsed under her skin, and chuckled softly, "What a coincidence, RH negative 'panda blood"..."

It seemed to Myra that she could see a shimmer in her eyes.

The girl turned slowly, asking the two senior doctors who had been following her, "Have you figured out what's wrong with her?"

The doctors listed Natalie's ailments.

The girl glanced at the blood type report, then at the old woman, lowering her voice slightly, "Pity there's nothing fatal... give her a spinal injection..."

Only the doctors heard what followed, shivering at the thought.

Myra's expression remained unchanged.

The doctors went about their tasks.

The girl then opened her clear, translucent umbrella, gently instructing Drew, "Avoid Elaine. Keep an eye on the time and take the old lady back where she came from. Make sure Mr. Lippert finds his mother..." The girl vanished into the night, as if she had never been there, leaving no trace.

Myra knew the young lady had made a big move on the chessboard...

Elaine rushed to the dilapidated house halfway up the mountain.

The place was empty; Sammy was gone, and there was no sign of Natalie!

Devin, having treated his wounds, followed her and said, "It was so unexpected, Elaine. Some people appeared out of nowhere, clearly well-trained bodyguards from a prominent family, and they injured us. After I was dragged down the mountain, I faintly heard a car and a child's cries.

By the time I got there, the black car had driven away, but I'm sure that cry was from the kid we kidnapped."
