Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 404

Every bit of Maurice's attention was absorbed by Marguerite.

Neither of them noticed Hammond's unease at the moment, but Janie noticed his nervous face.

"Easy there, Marguerite. What happened?"

Marguerite narrated the entire incident at the hospital to Maurice. Thinking she was overreacting, Maurice tried to console her, "Even the best hospitals can make mistakes."

Marguerite was on the verge of tears. "How could they just mistakenly lose a patient? Can't you just look into it for me? I beg you!"

She had never pleaded in front of Maurice before, but when it came to their child, she was willing to set aside her pride.

Over the years, Maurice had been the one searching for their missing child, with no success. He had long given up hope.

He didn't believe that a lost child could be found again, so he had gradually lost his drive.

Therefore, Maurice wasn't moved by Marguerite's plea.

Moreover, Marguerite's reasoning was based on her intuition rather than concrete evidence, which seemed overblown to Maurice. But seeing how distressed Marguerite was, Maurice couldn't refuse her request, at least not outwardly.

He gently squeezed Marguerite's shoulder, a warm smile playing on his lips, "Alright, I promise I'll look into this."

Maurice turned to Hammond and Janie, delegating tasks, "Hammond, go to IT Department and continue to track down what happened. Janie, visit the hospital when you can."

Hammond, feeling guilty, hesitated before speaking, "Mr. Winston, maybe I should trade tasks with Janie? This job requires technical skills, and Janie is young, so she needs the experience."

Maurice shot him a stern look.

What a dumbass! Couldn't he see the bigger picture? The most important thing now was to deal with the hacker threat! And Hammond, being his right-hand man, was the most suitable person for the task. But now Hammond was worried about his own family affairs?
