Regret Came Too Late

On her way to the hospital, Grace made sure to disguise herself from head to toe. The Lambert family had bodyguards out looking for her, and if they got their hands on her, she'd be locked in a psychiatric hospital with no one coming to her rescue anytime soon.

Once she got to the hospital, she followed a nurse into the changing room and threw on a nurse uniform, a surgical mask, and glasses.

She wandered the halls for a while before finally spotting Alice stepping out of her ward.

Alice walked straight to a doctor's office and pushed the door open. The doctor's name was Sidney Tanner.

Sidney greeted her politely, "Ms. Lambert, have a seat."

Alice didn't look too happy. "Didn't I tell you to quit?"

Now that the whole baby situation had caught the Henderson family's attention, she needed to clean up every loose end. Anyone involved including Sidney-

Sidney looked torn. "But I'm up for promotion next month. I swear I won't say a word to anyone."

Alice narrowed her eyes, sneering, "What, is 300 thousand dollars not enough to buy your silence?"

Sidney started sweating. He grabbed a tissue from the desk and wiped his face.

Alice had zero patience for anyone outside her inner circle. She always liked throwing her weight around. She said, "You've got three days to resign from this hospital."

With that, she turned and left, heading back to her ward.

The moment she was gone, Grace slipped into the office. Sidney remained seated

in his chair and let out a long sigh. Grace glanced at the plaque near the door, which read out "Dr. Sidney Tanner".
