"You have no idea what a VIP patient is, do you? How dare you try to pass off this cold leftovers as food? Are you trying to get yourself fired?" Rachel snapped coldly before flipping the bowl of soup over.


    The scalding hot liquid sshed onto the young nurse, Rita Salvage, who screamed in shock.


    The head nurse, Ang Hayward, was aware that Rachel was a special guest requested by Calvin, so she didn''t dare to provoke her. She quickly took Rita away and left the room.


    Rita sobbed, feeling wronged. "That was the best meal we had. I didn''t make a mistake."


    "I know you didn''t. But that woman isn''t easy to deal with. She knew from the start that this pregnancy wasn''t viable, yet she still med the Larson family and demanded the best treatment. She really has some nerve!"


    Ang gently wiped the tears from Rita''s face, offering a fewforting words before quickly leaving the room.


    In the corner, Serena had just returned with some water and overheard everything. So, this pregnancy was never going tost.


    Now that she thought about it, during the argument between Melissa and Rachel, she realized that Rachel hadn''t once mentioned her pregnancy or protected the baby in her belly.


    It was supposed to be the son that Howard and Rachel had been hoping for, but Rachel didn''t seem overly concerned.


    Suspicion grew in Serena''s heart, and it became difficult to shake off. She went straight to Ang to ask about it.


    Ang was an old hand at handling these sorts of situations, and she didn''t want to get into trouble.


    "It was just something to calm Rita down. Don''t take it seriously. Ms. Lloyd''s privacy is confidential, but since you''re a rtive, you can check the medical records yourself."


    Although Ang didn''t want to take responsibility, her words made it clear that the truth was in the medical records.


    Serena thanked Ang softly, but she knew that it wouldn''t be easy to get those records. She made her way directly to Rachel''s ward.


    Rachel was still pale from her miscarriage. She tensed up as soon as she saw Serena enter. "Are you in such a hurry to ask me for money now that I''ve lost my child?"


    "You remember the six million dors, don''t you? I came to see you because you were carrying my father''s child. The one I lost was my half-brother or half-sister," Serena said calmly, stepping closer.


    Serena sighed exaggeratedly, casting a meaningful nce at Rachel''s belly. "If it had been a son, Dad would''ve been thrilled and might have even helped you pay off the six million dors."


    At these words, Rachel''s hands clenched into fists, and she couldn''t help but feel a pang of frustration.


    She had hoped for it to be a son too. But even if it had been a son, it would be useless if it couldn''t be born...


    Rachel''s gaze lowered as she lightly touched her stomach, remaining silent.


    Serena''s eyes shed with a sharp gleam. It seemed like Ang was right. This pregnancy had truly been beyond saving.


    In the past, if Rachel had lost such a valuable bargaining chip, she would have clung to either Serena or Melissa, trying to tear a piece of flesh from them.


    But now, even with Serena mocking her face-to-face, Rachel remained silent.


    It was because she already knew there was no hope left. That was why she didn''t bother to resist.


    With the testpleted, Serena turned and left, using her connections to investigate Rachel''s medical records.


    But unfortunately, Rachel had taken every measure to keep them hidden. Not only were the records unavable, but even the dates she had visited clinics and hospitals were suspiciously vague.


    "The more she hides, the more suspicious it bes."


    Serena decided to let things settle for now and wait for Rachel to let her guard down before investigating further.


    Just then, Natalie sent a message. "Word has it that Ms. Sarah''s house arrest has been lifted. She''ll be back at work tomorrow."


    Immediately after, Howard also sent a message.
