Lovely Baby Came to Me

Chapter 45 Bribed

Hearing Josh mention her mother, Eloise became instantly agitated. She stared at Josh and spoke,

"What did you do to my mother?"

Her mother was now the only family she had, and Eloise instantly became anxious.

Watching her reaction, Josh smiled. His voice held a hint of menace.

"So far, I haven't done anything. But if you don't listen to me, I don't know what's going to happen to her

next."

With that, Josh left. He seemed certain that he would be able to control Eloise.

Eloise panicked.

Unable to think of anything else, she closed the door behind her and immediately headed for the

hospital.

Sitting in the taxi, Eloise had got butterflies in her stomach.

"Can you drive faster? I'm in a hurry."

The driver in front of her said helplessly, "Young lady, I'm driving fast enough. Safety first!" NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Eloise looked anxious and was clutching her clothes tightly. She was unsettled, scared, and all sorts of

emotions rushed through her mind.

After a pause, she took out her phone and dialed Ruben's number in a hurry. A short time later,

Ruben's soft voice came across the other end of the line.

"Hello, Eloise, what's up?"

"Mr. Dawson, is my mother in hospital? How is she now? Has anything happened to her?"

Ruben, somewhat puzzled, asked, "Is something wrong? I was away on business yesterday. But I

checked before I left, and your mother is safe and sound."

The car had arrived at the hospital and Eloise hung up the phone after saying something hurriedly. She

paid the money and hurried into the hospital.

She knew full well that there was nothing Josh wouldn't do for profit. What was her mother's condition

now?

Eloise went straight to her mother's ward, but the room was empty. The covers were neatly folded and

it looked like they had just been tidied up.

Where was her mother?

Eloise's heart clenched and endless fear flooded her mind. She pulled the nurse by her side and spoke

up hurriedly, "Hello, I'm Maryam's family. I would like to ask where is my mother? Where has she been

taken by you?"

The more Eloise spoke, the more anxious she became. Where the hell had her mother been taken?

The nurse froze. She glanced at the ward and spoke slowly, "Maryam? Oh, she was transferred to

another hospital this afternoon."

Transferred?

Hearing what she said, Eloise burst out in anger. She clutched the nurse's hand tightly.

"How can that be? Don’t you need the family's permission to transfer a patient? How can you privately

allow someone to transfer a patient away?"

Eloise's voice was a little too loud, plus her reaction was so hysterical that people coming and going on

the aisle couldn't help but turn their eyes towards her.

"I ... I don't know." The young nurse was a little confused by her yelling.

Eloise blanched. What if something happened to her mother ... She tried to calm herself down and

spoke, "Where is the head of your department? I need to see him."

It didn't take long for a man to arrive in a hurry. He wore a white coat and a pair of glasses and looked

to be about forty years old.

"Miss Thompson, I'm Robin, the head of this department. What can I do for you?"

There was a hint of impatience in the man's tone.

Eloise calmed down and asked in a cool voice, "Director Ellis, I'm Maryam's family. May I ask why you

transferred the patient without her family's consent? I need you to give me an explanation now and find

out where my mother is immediately."

Hearing what she said, Robin spoke coldly, "Sorry, Miss Thompson, that person showed family

credentials before we gave him permission to transfer the patient."

Hearing what he said, Eloise, which had calmed down, flared up again.

"Legally, I'm the only family member my mother has. I never agreed to the transfer of the patient. Have

you verified the authenticity of the family credentials? If anything happens to my mother, can you be

held responsible for that?"

Eloise's face was already white with anger. Her voice was full of anger.

Robin frowned slightly as he noticed the growing number of onlookers around them.

"Miss Thompson, of course, we do things with assurance. Please don't make a fuss here and disturb

other patients. Otherwise, we will call the police to deal with you."

Eloise's mouth curled into a cold smile, "Fine! Call the police. We'll let the police handle this."

Robin frowned. His comment about calling the police was only meant to scare Eloise, but if he did, it

would be a big deal.

Seeing that Eloise had pulled out her phone, Robin's face changed.

"Miss Thompson, please stop messing around here. I don't have that much time to waste with you."

No sooner had he finished and before Eloise could dial the phone, she had already been thrown out of

the hospital by security.

...

Robin watched as Eloise was kicked out of the hospital, and an evil grin flashed across his face.

He went to the bathroom and made a phone call.

"Hello, Mr. Thompson, Eloise has just come to the hospital and made a scene. She's been kicked out

by me now, so I guess she can't make much of a scene."

Josh's mouth curled up into a smile, "Well, remember to update me as soon as anything is going on

with her."

"Don't worry, Mr. Thompson. By the way, the rest of the money ..."

"I'll transfer it all to you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, a disgusting grin crossed Robin's face.

...

After being kicked out of the hospital, Eloise frantically called Josh's phone.

Once the call was answered, Eloise yelled in an agitated voice, "Josh, where the hell is my mother?"

Josh's voice came through on the other end, "Eloise, don't worry. Your mother is fine now."

There was a pause before he spoke again, "If you want her back in the hospital unharmed and

continuing to receive treatment, contact Hector right now. You'd better get the partnership sorted out

tomorrow."

Josh was aware that the more anxious Eloise was, the better the chances of things winning. Everything

was within his grasp.

Eloise looked livid. She gripped the phone tightly and spoke through clenched teeth, "Aren't you afraid

I'll tell Hector about your threats?"

If she told Hector, he would have a hundred ways to get Josh to give up her mother.

Josh's voice lowered, "Eloise, if you dare tell Hector, I can't guarantee what I'll do to your mother if I get

angry."

Eloise's pupils contracted as Josh's voice continued to come through on the other end of the line.

"Or just ... let's die together."

The phone was hung up and there was a beeping sound.

Eloise's face had gone white early on.

Josh and her mother had long since divorced, and he had no right to take her at all. Eloise clearly

sensed that Robin had been paid off.

She had been careless and hadn't expected Josh to make a move on her mother.
