Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 541

Four days had passed.

Whitney's bleeding had stopped, and the pain in her lower back had vanished as well. This was not part of her regular cycle. She attributed it to hormonal imbalance and decided to seek treatment at a different hospital, where she was prescribed some herbal supplements to help regulate her system.

As she left, the hospital's legal department reached out to her, informing her that they had found the personal information of the anesthesiologist who had administered her general anesthesia. Whitney was skeptical of this outcome. Could the hospital, under pressure, have simply found a scapegoat?

Accompanied by her son Danny, Whitney went to the hospital to meet the anesthesiologist, a middle-aged man with unremarkable features. She could not recall if this was the same man who had been part of her procedure days ago, as she had quickly been sedated and lost consciousness. Though it seemed like the matter was resolved on the surface, Whitney still felt unsettled.

"Mommy, was it here that you had the stomach check-up that day? They didn't take good care of you?" Danny asked.

"Yeah, there was a bit of a medical mishap," Whitney replied, holding her son under the shade of a gazebo in the hospital's garden. Suddenly, she remembered a dream about Sammy.

Rising to her feet, she took Danny's hand and said, "Danny, how about we look for someone in the hospital?"

"Who are we looking for?"

"Let's look for Sammy."
