Chapter 549
i'll check if the remains have been cremated."
The head nurse picked up a phone to call the morgue staff.
The Flanley Hospital administration had told them that they could see the remains of the baby whenever they wanted.
Now, however, they failed to show anything-claiming that it was a rule for the hospital to cremate every unclaimed body
within regular intervals.
'Oh, I see."
Told as much, the head nurse hung up and turned toward Isaac and Irene.' I'm sorry, but your child's remains have been
cremated."
Isaac frowned-they were almost eager to show them before, and should at least inform them before something like this.
Why did they not do so?
Is it possible that they had nothing?
'This was your responsibility."

"Do you think I'd accept that apology?!" Irene screamed.
She clearly had yet to calm down, but no one probably could in her shoes.
How could she accept it? She was not even afforded the chance to see the child she carried.
Isaac had to keep his arms around her, but words failed him.
After all, nothing could appease the anguish of losing a child.
Bzzt-
Isaac's phone suddenly rang-it was Sammy.
'I have something, but I think we should meet. Is this a good time?"
"Yeah."
Isaac then hung up and turned toward the head nurse with a sharp glare." There had better be a formal apology. It
is unacceptable that we weren't informed, and we will talk to the hospital chief if you lack the authority!"
With that, he left, putting a hand around Irene's shoulder as they left together.
Sammy arrived at Irene's ward half an hour later, but seeing that she was up but in a bad state, he asked Isaac,
"Should we talk outside?"
"No,” Isaac growled. "We can do it here!"
Right now, this might offer Irene enough hope to pull herself together.
Sammy handed him a ledger.
"Here's what I got-the bank records of Kim Sherwood, the doctor who operated on your wife. There was a huge
sum suddenly wired into her account on the day of the surgery, and the account was closed soon after the funds
were wired. I personally checked with the bank-you can see it here."
"I’m sure it's too much of a coincidence for anyone. A doctor being paid off on the day your wife had the surgery?
The account that wired the money was closed after the transaction too-someone wants to cover their tracks.
Something is wrong here."
"So there's a chance that my child is alive?" A ray of hope sparkled in Irene's eyes after she heard Sammy's story.
'There is the possibility," Sammy replied.
Irene then turned toward Isaac. "Who could it be?"
Isaac was reading the ledger.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe account that wired the money to Dr. Sherwood's account only had a single transaction, as if it was opened expressly
for that purpose.
Was it a conspiracy?
Isaac frowned as an idea took hold. "Sammy, find out if she left Minerva.' "Right away.’
Sammy understood what Isaac was getting at-if something shady really went down in that operating room, Kim
Sherwood would definitely bolt.
Finding her took priority, just as unveiling the truth started with her.
"She's running?" Irene became flustered.
They had no clues at the moment, let alone any idea who the mastermind was.
The trail would grow cold if Kim managed to escape.
Meanwhile, Isaac had calmed down and he took Irene's hand. "Maybe this is actually good news for US."
Irene blinked and rasped, "What are you talking about?"
"If that doctor really bolted, it proves that she was in league with someone -our child might be alive, and that's good."
Irene thought about it and agreed, but soon began to panic again. "Who could it be? Are they your enemy or mine?"
But she never offended anyone...
