Chapter 5: An Escape
Those were calls from the hospital.She was not on call, nor was she a doctor from the Emergency Room.
No one would call her in the middle of the night.Then why did the hospital call me so many times? Could it be...
At that instant, a horrible thought hit her, and she immediately hopped out of bed.
"Matteo, Vivi, it's time to wake up now! We're going on a vacation today! Hurry, or we're going to be late."
She rushed to the nursery to wake her children up.
Vivian grumbled, "Mommy..."
Feeling groggy, she was reluctant to open her eyes.
In contrast, Matteo was wide awake at the mention of "vacation".
"Vacation? Mommy, where are we going? Don't you need to work?"
"Well, I'm taking a few days off to bring you guys to Jetroina.I've already booked the flights to give you a surprise.Wake up now!"
Amora carried Vivian, who was still sleeping, out of bed while answering Matteo's questions.Seeing that, the boy quickly climbed out of bed.Twenty minutes later, the three of them were ready to go.
Buzz...
Buzz...
Just then, Amora's phone vibrated.It was a call from Willow.
"Hello?"
Willow gabled over the phone, "Oh, Esme! What's happening? Your consultation room is packed with people ransacking the place.I think they are looking for you.You took a leave suddenly, and now, the hospital is in chaos.What's going on? Did you offend these people?"
Amora's face turned pale at her words.
"It's nothing.They wanted me to treat a patient, but I refused to.They are just looking for the patient's notes in my consultation room.Don't worry, everything is fine.Since they already looked for the report by themselves, you should go."
"Really?" Willow asked dubiously.
Without bothering to answer her, Amora hung up the call.
She was running out of time, and there was no need or any use explaining to her friend.
She got her children in the car and then headed toward the airport.
She was determined not to expose her identity.
Not only was she reluctant to meet that man again, she would not let him know about the children's existence because he would definitely snatch them away from her.
She knew well that she stood no chance at all against a man who owned one of the largest business empires in the world.
This was the very reason she booked the flights and asked Willow to help her hide her documents and those medical reports in her consultation room as soon as she got home after meeting that b*tch at the
hospital.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
She never expected Kane to act this swiftly in the middle of the night.
Doesn't he sleep at all? Is there a need to make a scene in the hospital just because I refused to treat him? The car whizzed along the highway.
Eventually, she managed to reach the airport within thirty minutes.
"Matteo, stay here and look after Vivi.I need to get our boarding passes."
The boy sensed his mother's rush, so he replied compliantly, "Alright, Mommy."
Amora grabbed their passports and made her way to the self-service check-in kiosk.
She was exasperated when the machine couldn't identify their flight tickets and passport numbers.
What's wrong with the machine? She was in a hurry, but now it turned out that the machine was not functioning.
It felt like everything was not going her way.
Having no choice, she could only head to the counter to retrieve the boarding passes from the staff.
"Hello, I'm here to retrieve the boarding passes for XXX flight."
"I'm sorry, Ms.Rory, but I'm afraid you're barred from leaving the country,’’ the staff informed her after checking her passport and flight ticket.
Barred from leaving the country? Why? What have I done? She was utterly shocked.
"Excuse me, can I ask why I am banned from leaving the country?" Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"I'm sorry.I have no idea.We received the notice to stop Dr.Esme Rory, a doctor from Clear Hospital, from leaving the country.If you have any doubts, do call the airline or the authority for clarification."
For a few seconds, Amora stood rooted to her spot.She couldn't help but curse internally upon hearing the staff's words.
Damn it! It doesn't take a genius to know that they are targeting me.
I'm stuck in the airport because of that b*stard! Does he have the authority to instruct the airline in Sabruck to stop me from leaving the country? He even found out that we are flying to Jetroina! Amora was so angry that her entire body was shaking with anger.
