Unveiling the Genius Behind the Divorcee by Lily Foster

Chapter 279 The Same Name

After being closely monitored in the intensive care unit for a while, Abby fully recovered from the critical condition and was cleared for transfer to a hospital room for rest and observation.

Aylin called over a nurse and stated, “Here, use this card, no pin code needed. Transfer her to the best VIP ward you have. Appreciate your assistance in making the necessary arrangements.”

As Aylin spoke, she handed over a black card with gold trim.

Having worked as a nurse for a long time, she had seen lavishness before, but never on such a grand scale. How Aylin casually requested upgrading to the VIP ward made it seem as easy as buying a cabbage!

“Understood; I’ll get someone to assist with the room transfer.”

Once back at the nurse station, the young nurse could not resist telling her colleague about the incident.

“Do you guys have any idea how unbelievably extravagant the patient’s family members in Bed three are? They can just casually request a VIP ward as they please!”

A colleague enviously remarked, “That little girl is fortunate to have a sister like that. She’s beautiful, wealthy, and affectionate toward her. Where can you possibly find someone like that?”

The nurse thought about Abby lying in bed and could not help but feel sorry for her. “Ah, this poor child. Her parents don’t care for her, and only her cousin looks after her.”

A colleague sighed and mused, “Who can argue with that? It’s a blessing for her in this lifetime to have a sister like that. She must have earned some positive karma in her past life.”

Aylin was unaware that she had become the model of a caring sister in the eyes of the nurses. She softly grasped Abby’s hand, affectionately examining every inch of the little girl. Weighed down by guilt and anger, she heaved a sigh of relief.

“Boss!”

David knocked on the door and peered inside, observing the poor little girl on the bed. “How is she holding up?”

“She will be fine; I’ve operated on her.”

“What? Boss?”

David’s expression swiftly changed upon hearing that Aylin had taken matters into her own hands. His gaze toward the young girl shifted from curiosity to a tinge of envy.

The best is yet to come for her! David pondered.

‘Boss, I’ve finished investigating everything you assigned me,” David reported.

Aylin’s gaze became intense in an instant. “Let’s discuss it in the next room!”

Aylin and David went to the adjacent private ward, locking the door and ensuring the conversation remained confidential.

David handed over a folder and explained, “Here are the complete profile and records of Ruben Jim.”

While bidding farewell on the airplane, Aylin urged David to expedite the search for information about Abby’s father, Hanson Koch. Consequently, during the window of Aylin’s surgery, David and his subordinates worked tirelessly to conduct the investigation, ultimately submitting a perfect report.

“Job well done, David.”

David’s heart swelled with delight as he basked in Aylin’s commendation. He proudly lifted his chin and declared, “Of course, I am the Boss’ most trusted. guardian!”

Aylin flipped through the documents, and the more she read, the darker her expression became.

Both Abby and Serena had limited interactions with Timothy, leaving them relatively unfamiliar with him. That was the first time Aylin had complete information about him.

[Ruben Jim, aged forty-one, was an unemployed nomad who occasionally worked odd jobs at nearby stores. He had a habit of drinking and frequently accumulated debts by running tabs at restaurants and pubs.]

“Boss, he isn’t fit to be a father!”

David could not contain his disgust and remarked, “When I was conducting interviews, his neighbors mentioned that he would get drunk and go crazy on his daughter. Despite numerous attempts to intervene, many heard the little girl screaming in agony!”

David despised men who would lay a hand on women, let alone their vulnerable daughters.

“Ugh! He’s nothing but a despicable creature!”

Aylin held the papers tightly, her gaze fixed on the crowded words. Her face grew more sinister, and her eyes filled with icy determination.

“If he’s unwilling to care for his daughter properly, then he shouldn’t expect to have her!”

Out of nowhere, there was a sudden knocking at the door, accompanied by a somewhat familiar voice asking, “Is anyone there?”

The door was pushed open shortly after, and Lloyd’s attractive face appeared. “Ms. Koch, there you are. I’ve finally found you!”

Aylin instinctively furrowed her brow.
