Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 1013

Hearing it from Florence's lips, Ludwik sounded like a man without a shred of decency!

Florence told her that she tried to take back her child, which enraged Ludwik. Fearing the hospital staff might notice, he tied her up, dumped her in the outskirts, and left her to fend for herself. If that man was so cruel, how could he not have inflicted more injuries on her? When she rushed to the woods earlier, seeing Florence's face covered in blood, she thought Florence had been severely beaten by a man, anger flashing in her eyes.

Now, the medical examination showed Ludwik hadn't inflicted any life-threatening injuries on Florence.

"Doctor, are you sure you've checked everything thoroughly?" Parisa asked again.

"Yes, Miss Tennyson. The lady's cesarean scar is pretty nasty, looks like it was done without anesthesia," the doctor replied as he continued his examination.

Parisa froze, her expression turning cold again. It seemed Ludwik had been terribly harsh on Florence.

"Please make sure she receives proper care," Parisa stood in the emergency room, scanning the stark white room, then her gaze drifted out of the window towards the hospital, and she asked the doctor, "Did the hospital have any unwelcome visitors last night or the night before, someone who forcefully performed a C-section? Didn't you hear any noise or calls for help?"

Something felt off to her.

On her way here, she hadn't seen any of the medical staff at Sanctum Mary Medical showing signs of panic.

This meant Ludwik's infiltration into the hospital had been done in secret?

The bearded doctor shook his head, "I'm sorry, I've been on day shifts for the past two days. The hospital seemed normal, and I didn't hear any calls for help or anything unusual."

"No one called for help?" Parisa's sharp gaze slowly settled on Florence's head.

She was so afraid of Ludwik, being held hostage by him in the hospital, and she didn't call for help?

Another question arose, Florence had been in the hospital for three days, and she didn't seek help immediately? Even if she didn't reach out to her, didn't she try to alert the hospital?
