She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 239: Her Family Member

Chapter 239: Her Family Member

Kelvin rolled down the car window, letting in the breeze from outside. The tobacco smell inside the car was diluted by it.

At the same time, the temperature had also dropped a few degrees.

"Do you remember the abortion surgery that you handled three years ago? The patient's name was Cheyenne."

As soon as the words were spoken, the doctor's face turned pale and he appeared visibly uneasy. Sweat began to trickle down his forehead.

"... Mr. Foley, you're really putting me in a difficult position. There are so many people coming in and out of the hospital every day, how am I supposed to remember something from three years ago?"

As he reached out his hand to feel for the door, a cold and stern voice, like a chilling wind, suddenly sounded in his ear. "I already have the answer to every question I ask you."

Kelvin's eyes stared at him as if they could see right through him, and he let out a slight chuckle.

The doctor's face turned pale and he finally gave up the idea of running away. His hands fell down weakly.

He pleaded, "Mr. Foley, please let me go. I really can't say anything about that matter!"

Kelvin remained indifferent, slowly exhaling smoke rings of various shapes from his mouth, while leaning back with his head against the luxurious car seat.

Suddenly, he said, "I heard that you're going to run for the position of hospital director next month. What do you think would happen if I were to make these things public?"

A pile of intimate photos were smashed onto the man's body, in which were he and his lovers.

At his age, he was considered quite a sucessful man and faced with many temptations.

His wife had been aged and no longer beautiful, and due to his sexual desire for pretty ones, he had been cheating on his wife for more than ten years and kept several lovers, but his wife never knew. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

He often felt proud of himself for being able to conceal his infidelity, but little did he know that Kelvin had the ability to uncover even his first affair partner.

'Mr. Foley is right. I will be running for the director next month, and if this kind of gossip news breaks out at such a critical moment, it would be disastrous. Not only is it possible for my family to break up, but also there is a risk of losing my job. That is something I absolutely will not allow to happen.'

He tore those photos into pieces with trembling hands.

Kelvin's cold gaze caught a glimpse of his every move, and he slightly stood up, pressing the half- smoked cigarette into the car's ashtray, which seemed to be bought by Cheyenne.

She always told him that smoking was bad for his health, but she still silently prepared an ashtray for him.

His Adam's apple rolled, and his voice inexplicably became lower, which was a dangerous signal to the doctor's ears.

"You can tear them up. Do you think I don't have a backup?"

Upon hearing this, the man completely gave up struggling.

After two seconds of silence, he pushed his glasses and smiled bitterly.

"I know Mr. Foley has great power. I can't keep secrets forever; you'll find out sooner or later."

"Cut the crap! Let me ask you, why did she have a fetal stoppage?" Kelvin wasn't interested in listening to the doctor's nonsense and went straight to the point.

The doctor took out a crumpled test report from his pocket that looked somewhat damaged from being read every day.

"She... she was poisoned. Miss Lawrence was exposed to a drug called 'Mist' at that time, which contained ingredients that caused loss of sensation and nerve paralysis. Pregnant women who come into contact with even just a little bit will immediately miscarry. When Miss Lawrence arrived at the hospital, it was already too late as toxins had spread throughout her body; she may permanently become a vegetable."

"Mist"?

Kelvin felt like he had heard this name before but couldn't remember where.

Cheyenne almost became a vegetable?

His declarative sentence made Kelvin's heart tremble uncontrollably as calm emotions were stirred up by waves of turmoil.

"What happened next?"

"We needed family members' signatures for surgery; however, Miss Lawrence had lost her vision and sense of smell while waiting for your return."

"Time was running out; if surgery wasn't performed within eight hours, both mother and child could die."

However, he refused her request when she needed someone by her side during her most painful moments of despair while handling those trivial matters instead.

As Kelvin listened to these bloody past events unfold before him, he began to feel increasingly disgusted with himself.

If only he had more patience...

Maybe their child wouldn't have died.

"At that moment, old Mr. Edwards brought Mr. Gibbs over. Mr. Gibbs used acupuncture on himself with needles in order to absorb toxins from Cheyenne's body into himself. The price paid though is losing sight in both eyes."

"After Miss Lawrence woke up and knew it, she was remorseful. Three years have passed, and I don't know how Mr. Gibbs is doing now."

That man who once shone should have been standing at the top as a legendary figure

Because Benson had lost his eyes by protecting Cheyenne, Kelvin felt a heavy weight in his heart. He instinctively reached into his pocket for a cigarette but then remembered Cheyenne's voice, coquettishly reminding him, "Smoking is harmful to health. You're six years older than me. What if you die early?"

"You smoke? No wonder there's a hint of tobacco when you kiss me. It's so spicy."

"Honey, let's have a baby. Can you quit smoking first?"

Kelvin put the cigarette back in his pocket. His expression turned cold as the doctor spoke hesitantly, "Mr. Foley, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

"What is it?"

"On the night of Miss Lawrence's surgery, a woman came to see her. They quarreled fiercely before the woman left and Miss Lawrence fainted."

He had just been about to change Cheyenne's IV drip when he saw that woman.

She looked ordinary with long hair draped over her shoulders wearing a plain white dress covered by black raincoat.

She held a glass bottle but quickly left because she was afraid.

The bottle was accidentally dropped by her, rolled away but the doctor picked it up.

The next day some people came to his villa asking him what he saw.

These people were all desperados who held knives at his neck. The doctor admitted seeing that woman, but he denied seeing any glass bottle.

The desperados half-believed him and gave him two million as compensation for resigning from work and arranging new employment for him elsewhere instead of killing him.

The glass bottle was less than five centimeters tall with only half its contents remaining inside - transparent liquid filling it up halfway through its height!

Kelvin examined the bottle closely noticing an engraving on its bottom - "AB"!

He saw "AB" before in the study room of Foley Mansion!

He promised the doctor he wouldn't reveal those intimate photos before driving madly towards the Foley Mansion.
