Chapter 1691
Byran quirked an eyebrow. âDid we just overhear Sophia talking to the doctor about something
called seed extraction? With my sister and Theo alone together, could it be...?"
Ida, having overheard Sophiaâs conversation with the white-coated man, had already guessed what
was going on. Now, her only concern was for her safety. âMr. Howard, what do you think we should
do?â
Dr. Tam unlocked the door to the special examination room, revealing a dimly lit interior with the
curtains drawn.
On the screen, a blush-inducing movie was being projected, with the male and female leads each
making sounds that were unfit for polite company.
Upon entering and seeing this, Sophia immediately wore an expression of discomfort. With wrinkled
brows, she scanned the room for Marcus, but he was nowhere to be found.
âDr. Tam, what's going on? Where's my husband? Didn't you say a nurse was accompanying him
here? Where is she? Why is no one here?â
Dr. Tam was equally puzzled. âUm... I'm not sure what's happened. The door was locked, so there
should be someone inside.â
Sophia became impatient. âDr. Tam, what kind of operation are you running here?! I trusted you
with my husband, and you lost him! Could it be that your nurse ran off with my husband?â
Dr. Tam was visibly uncomfortable. âImpossible! What would she gain from running away with your
husband? She'd be breaking the law! Ms. Sophia, please calm down and give me a moment. I'll try
to contact our nurse.â
With that, Dr. Tam pulled out his phone to make the call, only to be met with an automated
message indicating that the other party's phone was switched off.
Off?,
What on earth was going on?!
Dr. Tam was now also feeling a sense of unease.
Sophia, watching Dr. Tam hold his phone without uttering a word, urged him on impatiently. âDid
you get through or not?â
With an embarrassed look, Dr. Tam replied, âMs. Sophia, our nurse seems to have..."
After hearing this, Sophia's face fell. âWhat the hell?! Where have you hidden my husband?! This is
outrageous! Wait, I'm calling the police right now!"
In her panic, Sophia pulled out her phone to dial 911.)
Dr. Tam was flustered. He was afraid that this incident would affect his job. âMs. Sophia, please wait.
Your husband can't have disappeared.â
Sophia ignored him and proceeded to dial the number. However, just at that moment, a cold voice
rang out. âI'm here.â
Sophia paused as the operator's voice came through from the other end of the line. âHello, this is
911, what's your emergency?â
Whirling around, she saw a man sitting quietly in a wheelchair. The corner curtain was fluttering in
the wind, so perhaps it had obscured him earlier.
The room was dimly lit, and it wasn't surprising that she hadn't noticed him.
Dr. Tam sighed in relief. âMs. Sophia, your husband is right there. Please hang up the emergency
call.â
After seeing her husband safe and sound, Sophia quickly ended the call and rushed to him. âMarcus,
are you alright?â
Marcus, his face grim and cold, arched an eyebrow at her, his tone sarcastic. âYou're the one who
brought me here for a check-up, weren't you? Were you expecting something to happen to
me?â
Sophia was taken aback, feeling truly at a loss for words.
