Captivation Want Nothing But You Chapter 115 by Adolf Dunne

Her First Prenatal Checkup

Outside the inpatient building, a black Maybach pulled over at the foot of the stairs. The driverglanced at the rearview mirror, and said, “Mr. Sullivan, we're here.” Victor was currently sitting in thebackseat, resting his eyes. When he heard the driver speak, he looked outside the window. Since itwas already lunchtime, there were several food delivery men walking in and out of the building.

The look on Victor's face made it hard for anyone to tell what he was thinking at the moment.

As a matter of fact, he didn't even know why he went here. After the meeting at the InternationalConference Center, he immediately got into his car. When the driver asked him if he was going backto the company building, Rachel's ghastly pale face as she lay on the bed the other night flashedthrough Victor's mind.

This wasn't the first time that he just thought of her out of the blue. Over the past few days,whenever he was idle, he would think of what Rachel told her that night. She said that out ofeveryone in this world, he was the one who wanted her dead the most. Every word that came out ofher mouth was like a needle, stabbing into his heart. And every time he thought of it, he could feelhis heart ache. The feeling wasn't that strong, but it was enough to make it difficult for him toignore.

“Take me to the hospital,” he said to the driver. And before long, they arrived at the hospital. A longsilence ensued inside the car. The driver vigilantly glanced at the rearview mirror, hoping to see thelook on Victor's face. However, it was too dark inside the car to see his face clearly. While the driverwas hesitant to speak, Victor finally broke his silence. “You can go back first, but come back to pickme in an hour.”

Having said that, he opened the door, and got out of the car. The driver respectfully responded tohis command, and watched him walk into the inpatient building before stepping on the acceleratorand driving away. After Victor entered the hospital, he went straight into the elevator. At that verymoment, his phone started ringing.

"Sir, Tripp has been staying at home since he left the police station. He hasn't contacted anyone forthe past two days, and no questionable source of income has been found in any of his familymember's bank accounts,” Ivan reported. “But when we checked the surveillance footage recordedby the nearby cameras, we found someone suspicious.

This perpetrator must've been following Miss Bennet for a long time. Unfortunately, he had coveredhimself well enough to prevent the cameras from capturing his face,” Ivan continued. 1 Victor raisedhis head to look at the screen above the elevator. His eyes glinted when he saw that it was currentlyon the fifth floor.

“Mr. Sullivan?” Ivan asked when he heard no response from Victor. Confused, he glanced at thescreen and found that the call was still in progress. “Who do you think it could be?” Victor askedtentatively. Finally, the elevator arrived at his floor. Victor entered the elevator, and pressed thebutton for the floor where Rachel's ward was located.

“I'm not sure, sir,” Ivan said with a frown. Two years ago, everyone believed that Odin would inheritthe Sullivan Group, but to their surprise, Victor inherited the company instead. Once he assumedoffice, their business reached greater heights within a short period of time. However, Victor changedso many things within the company that invoked the ire of almost all the members of the board.Thus, it was harder to narrow down the list of suspects that would go after Rachel.

It was highly likely that they noticed that Victor got even closer to Rachel after their divorce. And asa result, they wanted to take advantage of her to get back at Victor. After all, they still wanted Odinto return and take charge. It wouldn't be surprising if those scheming lowlifes were up to somethingjust to get rid of Victor. Or perhaps it could be one of the rivals of the Sullivan Group. The news thatVictor had taken Rachel to Yaprye to attend his mentor's birthday party, and went home with herhad already spread throughout the city.

If their business rivals knew that, they would definitely not let this ripe opportunity to destroy Victorpass. Of course, there were still other possibilities. As Ivan’s expression turned grim, the image of awoman appeared in his mind. “Maria..." He had worked for Victor long enough to have seen all sortsof people. But out of every wicked person Ivan had ever met, Maria was the worst of all. He couldstill remember how she uttered the most vicious words with the most elegant smile plastered on herface. The mere thought of her made Ivan sudder.

“For some reason, I feel like the culprit looks a little familiar. I think I've seen him somewhere.” Atthis moment, the elevator arrived at the designated floor. Victor strode out and headed towardsRachel's ward. “Got it,” he said to Ivan. Upon hearing his answer, Ivan was confused by what hemeant. “Mr. Sullivan, would you like us to proceed with the investigation? Perhaps we can...” “Ivan,how long has it been since the incident happened?”

Victor interrupted him. Ivan fell silent for a moment before he replied, “Three days, sir.” From whereVictor was standing, he could see Rachel's ward. The door was closed, so he couldn't see anythinginside. He stopped in his tracks with a glum expression on his face. “It's been three days, Ivan. Doyou honestly think that he’s still within Apliaria?” “No, sir,” Ivan replied. “The probability of thathappening is zero percent,” he thought.

Judging by the culprits abilities, he's elusive and vigilant enough to avoid detection. Now thatRachel had suffered through the accident, he would definitely stop following her. Instead, he'sgoing to leave Apliaria right away. Three days is more than enough for him to go anywhere.”

Victor decided to drop this subject and talk about something else. “Cancel my ten o'clock meeting.I'll be back later.” “Yes, sir,” Ivan answered. After disconnecting from the call, Victor opened the doorand entered the ward. “Mr. Sullivan,” said a woman from behind him. When Victor turned around,he found Clara whispering a few words to the nurse beside her. After the nurse had left, Clarawalked up to Victor and asked, “Mr. Sullivan, are you here to visit Miss Bennet?”

Silence befell Victor as he stared at Clara. The door was ajar. Clara peeked inside through the crackof the door, and glanced at the time on her wristwatch. “I thought you wouldn't come today.” Victorwas confused by what she was implying. “What are you trying to say?”

surprised to hear him say that. She initially thought that Victor was here to accompany Rachel forthe prenatal checkup. She specially came to Rachel's ward to ask Rachel if she should inform Victorabout the checkup.

After all, he was the baby's father. However, Rachel refused decisively. But Clara could tell thatRachel was just pretending to be strong. After all, what woman wouldn't want the father of her childto accompany her for the prenatal checkup?

The look on Victor's face froze, but he soon regained his stoic expression. “Where is she now?”“She's on the third floor of the Department of Gynecology building. But I think her checkup isalmost finished by now,” Clara said as she put her hands into her pockets.
