He sighed with worry. “What about the breakfast that I’ve prepared for you this morning? Did you skipit?”

I scratched the tip of my nose and replied, “I ate, and I got hungry again soon after. I plan to eat morelater.” The truth was, I did not eat breakfast as I was in a hurry.

He sighed once more helplessly. “You’re already a mother, yet you’re not taking good care of yourself.Should I get a nanny for you?”

I immediately rejected his offer. “We don’t need a nanny for now. I’m fine. I’m only two monthspregnant. It would be better to wait till Summer’s recovery and at a later stage of my pregnancy. Whatdo you say?”

He agreed as he knew that it would not be easy to convince me otherwise. “Sure. On the condition thatyou would start taking good care of yourself and our baby.”

I smiled, knowing that it was out of his concern for me. “Okay, I’ll take note. Let’s put this aside fornow.”

While the waiter brought out the dishes, I took a bite and continued, “Do you know where the hospital islocated? It’s within a factory in the suburbs. That building looked abandoned, but they built an operatingtheatre on the second floor of it. They had five doctors and a few wards as well. It’s inconspicuous – nopasserby would’ve guessed it.”

“Hmm. An operating theatre in a factory – inconspicuous and could be shifted easily. It was indeed theperfect place. However, our focus now is to be careful. There had been several issues that occurred atthe ports of Moranta. It seemed like the Murphys had intentionally caused the delay. Please be careful.Joseph will arrive within these few days. Keep in mind, safety first.”

I nodded in agreement. I had guessed that Armond had been keeping his eyes on the Fullers. He didnot seem like the type to give up after one failure.

We chatted a while more before Ashton hung up, and I gobbled the food down. I planned to look forHailey after.

If Armond chose to act up in Moranta while I create some trouble for Ashton in A City, he might nothave sufficient energy left to deal with the issues at Moranta. Furthermore, Ashton had taken over theports not long ago and need some time for things to settle down. Our plan had a high risk of fallingthrough if Armond were to sabotage.

All of them were looking out for their own benefit. The illegal operating theatre was not a piece ofsubstantial evidence to bring Armond down. We need to replace a witness and the family members ofthose who supplied medical equipment to them as soon as possible.

At the hospital.

Upon arrival at the hospital, I saw Hailey packing while wearing a fur coat. I frowned and asked, “Whyare you in such a hurry to leave? What did the doctor say?”

She turned and was stunned to see me. “I’m fine. I’ve had this illness for quite some time already. Iprefer to rest at home. I don’t like to be in the hospital.”

I sighed as I failed to convince her. “You need to take good care of yourself, especially now that you’reall alone. We have to accept that some things cannot be changed and carry on with our lives. You haveto hang in there.”

She stopped her movement, turned to look at me, and replied, “Her name is Carmen.”

I was taken aback for a moment before I regained my senses and asked, “Did you manage to contacther parents? To compensate for the guilt you hold, why don’t you help to take care of her parents?”

She shook her head while her eyes started to turn red. “No. She’s an orphan. Dad brought her backfrom the orphanage. Her parents abandoned her at a young age, so Dad decided to let her stay withus.”

Orphanage?

Could it be that the child that Armond had been searching for came from the orphanage instead?

“Do you know which orphanage she came from?” That could be a clue as there would be records of theadoption at the orphanage.

She went through it in her head thoroughly and nodded. “Carmen never told me about it. She onlybriefly mentioned that she was from an orphanage.”

“Does your Dad know?” Hailey’s father might have gotten in touch with Armond. It could save a lot oftrouble if he could stand in as a witness.
