章 41: Ch 41: One complication after another

Emily rushed Rika to the hospital as soon as she could. She had left Damian behind to clean up the mess they had caused.

Emily, with a flicker of confidence, believed that her boyfriend, Damian, was more than capable of handling the aftermath. And if he faltered, Alpha Goodwill would be their steadfast pillar of support.

She had chosen a general hospital rather than one associated with their family or business. That way, the chances of Rika being recognised and having a repeat of what happened were slim.

The examination should have taken at most fifteen minutes, but it was already half an hour.
