The doors opened to reveal a group of five or six people dressed in white coats. All of them wore face masks and carried doctor's bags.
"Hello, are you Zac?" the middle-aged female doctor in the lead greeted Zac politely. "The hospital director arranged for us to meet you here."
Zac must have called the hospital director to arrange for this team of doctors to come over.
"Come in."
Zac's expression was grim as he led the group straight into the bedroom.
When they entered the room, they saw a woman whose limbs had been tied to all four corners of the bed. She could not move at all.
"Get rid of the child in her womb," Zac instructed coldly.
By now, Yvonne had given up on putting up a fight. She lay motionless in bed and stared at the ceiling in defeat.
"Sir, this sort of procedure needs to be done at the hospital, or else we would be endangering the patient's life," the female doctor in the lead stated plainly out of duty to her patient.
"She won't die. It's just an abortion." Zac waved his hand in frustration.
"Just give her some medication then. I just want the baby gone."
The doctors glanced at one another as if they were silently discussing their options.
Meanwhile, Yvonne moved her gaze off the ceiling and glanced at the doctors in the room.
They were supposed to be angels who saved lives, but in Yvonne's eyes, they were more like executioners right now.
Hang on...
Suddenly, Yvonne's eyes lit up. She found the female doctor standing at the back somewhat familiar.
The doctor was wearing glasses, but her body frame and that pair of eyes were very similar to... Veronica.
Wait a minute, that's Veronica!
While Yvonne was staring at Veronica, Veronica was also staring back at her.
Their eyes met, and Veronica's brows lifted slightly to signal that it was really her.
Yvonne got the message and immediately shouted to Zac, "Zac, are you sure you're just trying to get rid of my baby? It looks like you're trying to kill me instead. Go ahead and kill me then, if you dare!"
Her head was turned toward him, and she glared at Zac with her bloodshot eyes as she bit down hard on her lip.
It was impossible to not detect the fury in her words.
"Sir, she's already over three months pregnant, so we can’t abort the baby with medication. We'll have to do a proper abortion procedure, and without the necessary equipment, we won't be able to completely clear out her womb. There will be lingering health issues, and the worst case scenario is that she might never be able to get pregnant again."
"Yeah. We don't know how serious it might be."
"Sir, I'm sorry, but we won't be able to help you if you insist on having the procedure done here."
All the doctors began to protest.
Zac finally accepted that it was a serious situation, so in the end, he had to let Yvonne out of her restraints. He summoned two bodyguards over and had them carry Yvonne out of the bedroom and down to the car.
Before they reached the lobby, Zac stuffed Yvonne's mouth with a piece of cloth before taping it shut and covering it up with a face mask.
He wanted to prevent her from shouting.
However, Yvonne was not going to try and escape now.
She complied rather peacefully as the bodyguards lifted her into the ambulance. A few of the medical team sat up front, while a few sat in the back with the patient.
Veronica was one of the latter.
Yvonne glared at the bodyguards and huffed. "There are too many people. One is enough."
The two bodyguards glanced at each other in hesitation.
Yvonne immediately shouted at them. "Why are you still here? Hurry up and get out!"
