Chapter 7: Escape
Candice took Alva to the imperial capital that day. They went to the most medically advanced private hospital with the highest standards that money could buy.
Four nurses and two doctors surrounded her at all times and gave her the most meticulous and thorough examinations.
Alva mechanically allowed them to jostle her around.
The night drew to a close.
Alva leaned back in her hospital bed with her hand on her stomach. She gazed out of the window into the night.
After nine months… No, in seven or so months, the baby would be taken from her womb.
She would never see it again.
Is this… what she wanted?
That night, Alva had a nightmare that Uriah was standing in front of her. He said, “Alva, do you know what happens when you don’t know what’s good for you?
She was forcibly taken into the operating room. There, the doctor put on gloves and picked up a scalpel, then used it to slash at her stomach.
“Don’t-!”
Alva screamed in terror and sat upright.
The nurse on watch immediately came over, “Ma’am.”
But Alva was still in the nightmare. She pushed the nurse. away, “Don’t touch me!”
She shrank back and looked at the nurse with fear and
alarm, mumbling, “You can’t touch my baby!”
The nurse looked at her appearance and quickly tried to ring the alarm on the hospital bed.
Meanwhile, Alva quickly got out of bed and ran toward the
exit.
She had to get out of this horrible place!
But once she ran to the door, opened it, and saw everything outside, she stopped.
Calm down.
What just happened was a dream. It wasn’t real.
Right now, she was in reality.
But if she stayed here, then that dream would come true.
She couldn’t stay here.
She had to leave.
And she had to take her baby with her!
The doctor came over to examine her and departed after
making sure she was okay, leaving a nurse in the room to watch her.
Alva looked at the nurse and asked, “Can you take me out for a walk?”
The nurse looked at her suspiciously.
Alva continued, “I had a nightmare and it felt so realistic. I want to walk around. We don’t have to go outside, just downstairs.”
The nurse thought about the way she looked just now and said, “Okay, but you can’t walk for too long. Right now, what you need most is rest.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Very soon, the nurse guided her downstairs. Alva gripped the hem of her clothes and looked around calmly.
They walked into the alley ahead. Under a large banyan tree, Alva suddenly clutched her stomach.
The nurse immediately supported her, “What’s wrong, ma’ am?”
“My stomach hurts. Ah, it hurts…”
“What happened? How did this…”
The nurse also panicked and looked around.
Alva quickly interjected, “Hurry, get a doctor!”
“Okay, I’ll get going. Stay here and don’t move.”
“Ugh, oww… My child… My child…”
She doubled over in pain. The nurse couldn’t afford to delay things any longer and immediately ran into the hospital. Alva took off her coat as soon as the nurse was out of sight, turned the sweater she was wearing inside out, pulled her long hair into a bun, and quickly walked outside.
Almost as soon as she left the hospital, the nurse arrived downstairs with the doctor.
But no matter how many people showed up under the big banyan tree, Alva was nowhere to be found.
Once Alva walked out of the hospital, she took off at a jog.
She ran while looking around at her surroundings and soon turned into an alley.
She had to get to a place with no surveillance cameras.
That way, she wouldn’t be found.
At the moment, the hospital was in chaos. Everyone was looking for Alva.
Even Candice was there.
“You can’t even look after one woman. Is this place staffed by monkeys?”
The doctors and nurses didn’t dare to talk back. They bowed their heads and silently endured the lecture.
Candice pointed at them, “Why are you still standing there? Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Even if we have to turn the hospital upside down, we have to find her!”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Soon after, the doctors and nurses scattered, but Candice stayed rooted to the spot, her eyes burning with fury.
Alva, you better pray that I don’t find you!
At the same time, a low-end luxury car pulled up outside the hospital.
Uriah got out of the car.
