Her reasons successfully quelled the receptionist's suspicion. She replied politely with a smile, "Oh, President Reed is pregnant. She's getting treatment in the hospital for the time being." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
"Pregnant?" Rina questioned sharply.
The receptionist frowned. "Miss, what's wrong? From your tone, you don't sound happy about President Reed's pregnancy."
Their president was pregnant, and not one person in the company was unhappy about the news. Plus, since she was pregnant, Toby gave them a lot of benefits. Even the netizens received some, so who would not give them their blessings? Instead, Rina was the only person that sounded unpleasant about the news, dissatisfied even.
Rina's fists clenched tightly behind the counter. Happy? How can I be happy? Now that she's pregnant, how is she gonna donate her kidney?!
As a result, she walked out of Paradigm Co. in a daze, looking up at the sky. It was cloudy and gray, just like how she felt at the moment. Pregnant. How can she be pregnant at a time like this?! What a b*tch!
She soon filled herself with determination again. No matter what, even if Sonia was pregnant, she would not give up. She would make Sonia donate a kidney to her father, even if it was by force. After all, Sonia was her father's biological daughter. One way or another, she should feel obliged to save her father! Even if she was pregnant, she should get rid of her child to save him! That was what Rina believed.
Dad is dying, and Sonia is still young. She can still have another baby if she aborts this one. How can an unborn baby be more important than Dad?! That's right. I'm gonna find her now!
Rina gritted her teeth and hailed another cab. "First World Hospital."
She was confident that Sonia would be there. After all, she knew there was a genius doctor named Dr. Lancaster at First World Hospital. That doctor has always been kind to her, so I'm sure she chose there for treatment.
Soon, she arrived at the First World Hospital.
When she got out of the cab, she fished out a mirror from her back and looked carefully to make sure her makeup, hair, and clothes still looked believable so that she would not get recognized easily. She put away her mirror and walked into the hospital with confidence.
With Sonia and Toby's reputations, they could not be in normal wards. So, without any hesitation, Rina walked straight to the special wards building.
She entered the building with no trouble, and the security guard did not even spare her a second glance. He even thought she was a wealthy patient's family member, so he asked her to register and allowed her in.
Following that, she arrived at the front desk and asked for the floor and number of Sonia's ward. Immediately, she took an elevator up.
The moment she stepped out of it, her heart was beating like a drum. She was nervous and did not know if Toby was present or not.
Since he loved Sonia so much, that man was more than likely to stay at the hospital with her the whole time since she was pregnant and hospitalized.
Now, Rina was terrified to bump into Toby. What should I do? Do I still go in?
While she was freaking out, a nearby security guard walked by. When he saw her, he was immediately suspicious. He walked over quickly and asked coldly, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Rina was so scared that she began to tremble. Fortunately, she reacted in time and forcibly calmed herself down. She immediately acted like her unreasonable, arrogant mother to avoid the security guard's suspicion.
"Why do you care so much?" She put her hands on her hip and acted flawlessly like her cocky mother. "This is a hospital. What do you think I'm here for? Of course, I'm here to visit my family. You sound like you're interrogating a prisoner. Are you saying I shouldn't visit my family? Do you own the hospital?"
The security guard's mouth twitched with annoyance, for he was scolded for no reason!
A nouveau riche like her was only arrogant because she had money. Other than that, she was an empty shell. Security guards like him had seen many women like this.
In the end, he dismissed his doubts and told her off coldly with a look of disgust. "I don't own this hospital, but my boss has reserved this place. The only patient here is my boss' wife and no other patients. Therefore, you've gone to the wrong place. Please turn back and leave." He pointed at the elevator behind her.
She pretended to be surprised, "What? This floor is bought out? Is your boss that rich? Even my husband doesn't dare to do that."
The security guard rolled his eyes. Your husband? A new upstart like your husband is nothing compared to President Fuller. He could be on Forbes' International Ranking List. Can your husband even be on Forbes' Seafield Ranking List?
"Okay, enough. It's none of your business whether my boss is rich or not. You need to leave now and never come here again. Don't blame us for being rough if you return," the security guard warned, frowning hard.
She acted shocked. "If you don't want me here, just say that. Do you think you can be aggressive just because your boss is rich? Just wait until my husband becomes richer than him. By then, let's see if you dare to act so aggressively toward me. Hmph!" As she spoke, she walked toward the elevator, cursing.
Rina knew the more she looked like an arrogant b*tch, the less likely these security guards would suspect her. They would only think that she was just a social climber gone wrong.
Sure enough, Rina got into the elevator without trouble. She did not even arouse a drop of suspicion from other security guards until the elevator closed. Then, she heaved a sigh of relief. Now, I'm annoyed.
She did not expect Toby to protect Sonia so comprehensively. Not to mention reserving the whole floor, he even had security guards patrolling it!
This way, any unknown person that came to the floor could be immediately removed. Forget Sonia's room—even the security guards would have her under scrutiny as soon as she exited the elevator.
Therefore, she could not pretend to be a relative of Toby and Sonia, whom the guards would recognize! Even if there were such a relative, they would call Sonia and Toby before letting her in. When the couple denied it, she would be immediately taken away.
What the hell do I do? Rina was so anxious she was about to cry.
Her dad's condition could not be dragged on any longer. If they continued to delay, there might not be any more hope. Therefore, she had to meet Sonia to tell her the truth as soon as possible. That
was the only way Sonia would agree to save her father. But Toby guarded her too strictly. How can I meet her?
Ding! The elevator arrived.
Rina stepped out of the elevator moodily and bumped into a nurse pushing a small cart.
"Ow!" the nurse exclaimed.
Rina immediately apologized, "I'm sorry."
"It's fine." The nurse waved her off and smiled dismissively.
Rina smiled back at her and continued into the elevator. After taking two steps, she suddenly had an epiphany. She turned and looked at the nurse's uniform, revealing a sinister smile. That's right. I can just pretend to be a nurse!
The more she thought about it, the more she realized it could work, and the bigger her smile grew.
Afterward, she began scanning the hospital, looking for easy targets.
In the end, she chose a nurse that seemed easy to follow. When the nurse entered the bathroom, she followed her and knocked her out. Then, she took the nurse's uniform and wore them. Summoning her courage, she headed for Sonia's floor again.
