Left for Dead Came Back for Everything novel Chapter 152

His gaze held a distinct trace of blame.

"Eliza, you saw it with your own eyes."

"Yvonne is pregnant. Your brother pushed her."

His Adam's apple bobbed.

"Regardless of whatever problems exist between us... she is a pregnant woman. Your brother did this. Can your family just stop causing trouble!"

Eliza looked at the weeping woman in his arms.

She only felt a profound sense of absurdity.

The most absurd thing in this world wasn't how clumsy a lie could be.

It was that someone could be deceived a hundred times, and still blindly believe it on the hundred-and-first.

Eliza was just about to speak.

Footsteps echoed from the far end of the hallway behind them.

It wasn't just one person.

Two figures rounded the corner and strode toward them.

Leading the way was a woman in her fifties wearing a dark blue senior uniform, her name badge pinned perfectly to her chest. Her steps were steady and authoritative, her expression so stern it bordered on fierce.

This was Head Nurse Beverly, a veteran of the obstetrics department—the very same woman who had noticed Yvonne lacked a maternity record in the registration system last time.

She marched straight toward the young nurse standing behind Yvonne.

"Nurse Madison."

The young nurse's face instantly lost all its color.

"Head... Head Nurse..."

"Come back to the ultrasound room with me."

Head Nurse Beverly reached out, clamped a hand around Nurse Madison's wrist, and yanked her toward the ultrasound room without leaving any room for argument.

"But... I have a patient here..."

"I'll take over your patient. Move."

The two figures quickly disappeared down the end of the corridor.

The face Yvonne had buried against Zander's chest stiffened for a fraction of a second.

But she didn't move. She didn't dare to.

She only buried her face deeper, her fingernails digging painfully into her own palms.

And almost at the exact moment the senior nurse dragged the young nurse away—

Julian Lawrence strolled over unhurriedly from the opposite side of the corridor.
