Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 996

The cleaning lady nodded, "I saw you folks looking around with a photo, like you were searching for someone. When I saw this picture of the Asian girl, it clicked. She arrived that day, struggling with English, asking for directions with her baby bump looking like she was due any minute. It seemed pretty urgent, so I personally walked her to the exit and hailed her a cab to the hospital!"

Ludwik's sharp gaze suddenly tightened, "Which hospital did you send her to?"

Premature delivery? He knew it; his child in Florence's womb was in danger!

The cleaner pointed towards the third exit, "The cab I called for her was headed to Toruscare Hospital."

"Thank you."

Worried sick about the life and death of his child, Ludwik didn't bother to scrutinize the cleaner further. Any clue was worth following up on to avoid any mishaps.

He turned to his assistant, "I need to leave for a few hours. Head to Toruscare Hospital. You stay here and wait for the surveillance results from our special aide. Call me immediately if anything comes up!" He was covering all bases.

Ludwik strode out of the lobby, hailing a taxi, "To Toruscare Hospital, please."

The driver, an older man wearing a baseball cap covering his face, gave Ludwik a curious look before nodding and driving off.

Ludwik, his legs crossed, was lost in thought, staring out the window, his jaw clenched tight, lighting up a cigarette to calm his nerves.

Having been in Eurovoria for just a handful of days, he was already missing Whitney and worried sick about his twin boys under Bryce's watchful eye.
