My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1417

Knowing that there was no way he could refute me, he finally said, "Fine, you should take better care of yourself. Don't mistreat you and your child."

I let out a smirk. I knew that he was concerned about me. I nodded and answered, "Alright, I know. You don't need to get entangled in small matters like this. Let's get down to business!"

The waiter served up the dishes. I ate as I told him, "Do you know which hospital I went to today? It's a factory in the suburbs. It looks like the factory has been abandoned for a long time, but they've got a surgery room on the second floor with five doctors and several wards. It's not very obvious. Without looking at it closely, there's no way anyone will realize that it is a hospital."

He continued, "They are smart enough to set up the surgery room in a factory. It's not obvious and easy to move if they need to, so people would not be suspicious about it. It's indeed a wise choice. However, we still have to be careful. Now, the problem is that it is difficult to get out of the ports in Oakland. It seems that the Milton family is planning to keep me occupied here with this. You have to be careful over there. Evan will head over in two days and no matter what, you have to ensure that you are safe."

I nodded. I had guessed that Sebastian had his eyes on the Roberts family all this time. Back then, he couldn't get his hands on him, so how would he just sit aside and not do anything?

After a moment, I hung up the phone and wolfed down my food before going to the hospital to look for Wendy.

If Sebastian had something planned in Oakland, and I stirred up some trouble at the same time in Asherton, then he wouldn't have the time to deal with the matters going on in Oakland. Hendrix had just taken over the port from the Hayes family and everything was not settled yet. Now, if everything had yet to be settled and if Sebastian pulled some strings, then it was possible that he might get his way.

They were not kind people either. They were selfish and were willing to put other people's lives at risk just for monetary gain. Exposing the surgery room set up in the factory would not cause any substantial harm to Sebastian. What I needed to do was to look for witnesses and family members of the organ donors that would testify against him, exposing him for participating in black market trade.

I went over to the hospital.

As soon as I arrived at the hospital, I saw Wendy dressed in a thick jacket. She was packing up her things. I couldn't help frowning, "You just got better. Why are you in such a hurry to leave the hospital? What did the doctor say?"

When she turned around and saw me, she was slightly dumbfounded and said, "I'm fine. It's not like I just got sick for a day or two. I can also rest at home. I don't like hospitals. It will be better if I go home."

Thinking that I couldn't persuade her, I sighed and uttered, "You are all on your own now, so you should take good care of yourself. No matter what, you are the one who survived. Since we know that life won't change for the better, then why not just enjoy it? For your sake and hers."

Perhaps she finally understood what I meant, so she stopped what she was doing, looked back at me and said, "She has a name, it's Winnie Parker."

I was taken aback for a moment and I said, "Can you get in touch with her parents? Her parents must be the most important people in her life and I don't think she has any children. If you feel guilty about it, why don't you help her take care of her parents?"

Her eyes were a little red and she shook her head, "No, she has no parents. She is an orphan. Her own parents had abandoned her since she was young. My dad brought her back from the orphanage and let her live with us under the pretense of adoption."
