Chapter 354
Stephen said, “It was Dr. Spencer.”
Harvey did a double take. “Oh, it was her?”
“Yes, but according to what I know about her, she definitely would not accept your gift either.” Stephen said.
Harvey smiled but said nothing–he and Irene went way back, and she would not be that tactless toward him.
When Irene arrived at Melville Hospital, she did not head straight to her department, but instead headed to Obstetrics and Gynecology and spoke to Lindsay Slate’s attending physician.
She wanted the doctor to call Lindsay over.
Since they worked in the same hospital the doctor agreed to it.
Soon, Lindsay arrived at the hospital with Chad.
In reality, she would not have come at all if not for Chad. There were no issues anyway after she completed yesterday’s checkup–even if her doctor suddenly said that there was a mistake and she had to come back.
“Doctor’s orders,” Chad told her, but Lindsay remained visibly annoyed.
“Would you like a drink?” he asked.
Irene arrived just then with a mask and a nurse’s cap. “Ms. Slate? Please come with me.”
“Didn’t I get checked yesterday already?” Lindsay asked. “Why am I called back here?”
“The doctor insisted,” Irene replied. “There was a mistake in the examination. Please cooperate for the sake of your child and yourself.”
Still, Irene composed herself and kept faking the ECG before handing her the test results.
As Lindsay sat up, she said, “You sound familiar.”
Irene giggled but otherwise said nothing, while Lindsay headed outside with the test results.
Handing it to Chad, Lindsay told him, “Take this to the doctor.”
“What about you?” Chad asked.
“I’m going to the washroom. I’ll come to you when I’m done.”
Chad nodded, and Lindsay waited until Chad had left before tailing Irene. When they arrived at someplace quiet, she said, “Irene Spencer.”
