Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1390: The doctor's voice was thick with outrage. "This is unethical!" Kylee shrugged off his concern, her voice smooth and dismissive. "What's the big deal? She's not going to make it anyway." Kylee waved away his objections with practiced ease, her tone almost persuasive. "Come on, just do this for me. Our family runs this hospital, so nothing's going to go wrong." Before the doctor could muster a reply, a sudden noise outside made both of them stiffen. "Who's there?" Kylee called out, panic flickering in her tone. Silence answered her.

She and her cousin exchanged uneasy glances, both worried their conversation had been overheard. "I'll go see who it is," Kylee said, getting up quickly and heading for the door herself. Kylee was ready to confront whoever had been eavesdropping. But when she pulled the door open, the hallway was empty. "Why is no one here?" she muttered, frowning as she tried to figure it out. Just then, a janitor strolled past. Kylee's cousin quickly asked, "Excuse me, ma'am, did you see anyone standing at my door just now?" The janitor shook her head.

"No, I didn't see anyone." "Then where did the noise come from?" Kylee pressed. "We thought something got knocked over." "Oh, that must have been me," the janitor replied with a smile, pointing toward the nearby restroom. "I was rinsing the mop and tipped over the bucket by mistake." Kylee's only fear had been that Lowell might have overheard them.

Turning to her cousin, she added, "I'll leave this matter to you. I need to find Collin." Her cousin hesitated, then gave a small nod. "Alright." With that settled, they went their separate ways. What neither of them knew was that Lowell was lurking in the shadows, watching everything unfold. His fists tightened, his jaw locked, and his eyes burned with hatred. He couldn't believe Kylee had grown so heartless. From the very beginning, he regretted ever agreeing to her deal. Now that she had crossed the line, he had no reason to keep quiet any longer. Pulling out his phone, he dialed a number.

When the call connected, he spoke in a low voice, "Mr. Riley, there's something I need to tell you..." Meanwhile, Linsey had just finished visiting her friend and was waiting for the elevator when she unexpectedly ran into Ivy. Ivy greeted her with warmth and insisted she come by her hospital room for some refreshments. . . .
