Marcus heard William’s words and exclaimed, “Ornard has other children besides Angel? This is too surprising, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, this is an unexpected discovery.” William nodded. “Because of Veronica’s control over Ornard, Ornard learned to be smart this time. He didn’t dare go for his employee but a woman outside. They were very secretive whenever they met. Veronica still doesn’t know about the existence of this Aurora.”
“If Veronica knew about Aurora, it would be a pretty good show, wouldn’t it?” Marcus smirked. “Mr. Howard, are we going to tell Veronica about Aurora?”
“You want to use Veronica to deal with Ornard? You’re thinking wrong! Veronica is only a lady who has no foundations. Besides knowing some of Ornard’s secrets, what ability does she have to go against Ornard?” William asked.
“I meant to get Veronica to provide us with information that is not beneficial to Ornard so we can plan our next move.” Marcus explained.
“Ornard and Paisley are already married. Do you think Veronica is of any importance to him now? As heartless as Ornard is, Veronica is of no use to Ornard anymore. She is only a threat who knows his secrets. What would you do if you were Ornard?”
Marcus thought for a moment and said, “If Veronica was obedient, I’ll spare her life. But if she dares to betray me, I’ll kill her.”
“So Ornard should have arranged for someone to keep an eye on Veronica’s every move. If she were to do something unusual, she would die gruesomely. Then we would be alerting the enemy if we were to contact her.” William paused before saying, “Jaxon said that Veronica found out about Ornard and Paisley’s marriage last night. She returned to the hospital furiously after leaving before. But after arriving at the parking lot, she left again without doing anything.”
“Does that mean that Veronica has sensed danger? Is she not going to confront Ornard?”
“Of course! Veronica isn’t a fool. She has been by Ornard’s side for many years, and she knows Ornard very well. She knows she doesn’t have the strength to go against Ornard. So she won’t throw away her life now. The current Veronica will be even more docile and obedient than before. Furthermore, she’s wary of Ornard. Veronica probably wouldn’t believe it easily, even if someone were to tell her that Ornard had a child outside. She would think that this is a test from Ornard and would want to gain Ornard’s favor with this information. That way, we’ll alert the enemy!”
After William’s analysis, Marcus nodded repeatedly. “So, how shall we attack Ornard next?”
“Of course, we’re going to make use of Ornard’s daughter.” William sneered. “It’s said that even a ferocious beast never eats its child. Since Ornard has hidden Angel for so long, he must have high hopes for her. He won’t harm her anyway. So we could use her.”
Marcus immediately thought of Richard when he heard William’s words. “You want to continue using Mr. Clark? He was furious when we used him as bait the last time. If you were to ask him to do it again, he would go mad, wouldn’t he?”
“We don’t need him to. Let’s see if Angel is pregnant. Today is the sixth day, isn’t it? If everything goes well, Angel will take a pregnancy test tomorrow. I hope that everything will go as we wish.”
At five the next morning, Angel woke up early. Time slowly passed as she stayed in the hospital waiting for news.
Today was the seventh day. If everything were to go smoothly, she should be able to find out if she was pregnant.
Angel was very nervous but she also looked forward to it.
As she turned over and sat up, a message came into her phone on the bedside table. Angel opened WhatsApp and saw that Ornard had sent her a message. “Today is the seventh day. You should go and have a pregnancy check. I will arrange for Gurmisran to send someone to help you.”
Angel replied with an “Okay” and got up to wash up.
The sound of her going to the bathroom woke Madelyn up outside. Madelyn immediately put on her clothes and came in to check on Angel.
When Madelyn saw that Angel had woken up so early, she was surprised. “Miss, why are you up so early?”
“I slept too much!” Angel replied coldly.
Madelyn had been treading on eggshells while serving Angel throughout the week. Angel’s behavior constantly made Madelyn feel that Angel was hiding something from her.
She asked tentatively, “Miss, did something happen to you?”
Angel looked at Madelyn coldly. “Do you want something to happen to me?”
“No, I was just worried about you, so I asked.”
“What’s there to worry about? You’re just a servant. Can you help me solve my problems? What a joke!”
After scolding Madelyn, Angel remembered that she was going to have a pregnancy check. She must not let Madelyn know about it as she had to go alone. Thinking of this, she immediately changed her expression. “I’m hungry. Go and prepare food for me.”
Madelyn agreed enthusiastically. “Okay. What do you want to eat, Miss?”
“Chicken pot pie. I want the best chicken pot pie from B City.”
The best chicken pot pie from B City was about 20 miles away from the hospital. Even if the traffic were smooth, a trip would take about an hour. Madelyn’s expression froze. “Isn’t that a little far? It might not taste as nice after I bring it back.”
“What do you mean? You don’t want to go?” Angel’s face darkened again.
Madelyn didn’t dare to offend her, so she nodded repeatly. “I’ll go. I’ll go now!”
After Madelyn left, Angel changed her clothes and wore a face mask and sunglasses before leaving the ward. The bodyguard sent by the Floyd family immediately followed her, but Angel waved at him. “You don’t need to follow me. I’m only going to the sky garden for some fresh air. I’ll come back soon.”
Hearing Angel’s words, the bodyguard didn’t follow her. Angel went to the sky garden alone, where Gurmisran had arranged for people to wait for her there.
After Angel came up, the men immediately brought her through the elevator at another exit to the blood test center.
The bodyguard responsible for Angel’s safety immediately called Sammuel after seeing Angel leave. “Mr. Hawk, Ms. Floyd sent Madelyn out to buy chicken pot pie at six. Then she went to the sky garden by herself. She didn’t allow me to follow her and said she would come back after getting some fresh air. What do you think about this…”
Sammuel frowned and thought for a moment. “Go to the sky garden immediately to see if she is there!”
The bodyguard followed Sammuel’s order and went to the sky garden. He searched everywhere in the sky garden but failed to find Angel. Then he called Sammuel again and said, “I didn’t find any trace of Ms. Floyd in the sky garden.”
“Is that so? Go back to the ward for now and see when she comes back. I will inform you when I have arrangements.”
After the blood test, Angel returned to the ward without staying. She entrusted Gurmisran’s men to wait for the results.
After an hour after Angel returned to the ward, Gurmisran sent her a message. “Congratulations on your success, Miss!”
