8.18% Rejected By Husband, Chased By The Billionaire CEO / Chapter 28: Investigation

章節 28: Investigation

It was one thrilling and crazy race against time as Lola, Jamal and Maureen visited four different hospitals and redid the HIV test.

They were unperturbed by the gradually darkening sky and the distant rumbling thunder.

Like a super detective trying to unravel the mysteries behind a brutal crime, all three friends passionately sought the authentic HIV result.

Surprisingly, all four test results were the same as the first hospital Lola had visited earlier.

This left Lola in complete shock. She felt utterly betrayed by whoever was behind the falsified result responsible for her public disgrace and broken home.

Nonetheless, Lola was grateful for the new result. All her initial fear of having to give birth to a child as a HIV-positive mother was now a thing of the past.

"I can't believe that I'm not just pregnant for my husband but I'm also HIV negative." Tears of victory and joy welled up in Lola's eyes.

"Yeah... I'm so happy for you, sweetie. After all, you've been through, It is such a relief to know that you are not pregnant for that sick prick you call a boss."

"Exactly!" Jamal interjected. "That bastard should consider himself lucky because he's rich. If he wasn't, I would have given him the beating of a lifetime."

"Hmm... I trust what my baby can do." Maureen smiled.

"I can't believe I almost terminated this precious seed growing inside of me." Lola stroked her stomach lovingly while beaming.

"You know, if I weren't an advocate against abortion, I would have recommended termination of your pregnancy. From the way that man humiliated and disgraced you publicly, he does not deserve to be called a father. It's just hurt me so much that he got away with the whole crime."

"Don't worry, honey." Maureen patted her fiance on the shoulder. "The fool will get what coming to him in due time."

"Wait until I tell my Ellen the good news," Jamal said excitedly.

"Yeah... She will be over the moon with joy." Maureen chirped happily.

"Guys... Please..., I will like this truth about my pregnancy to remain a secret between the three of us present here, until I'm ready to make it public knowledge." Lola pleaded.

"Umm...okay. But what about Chelsea?" Jamal asked. "You know you two are inseparable besties."

"Yeah...but I don't want to burden her with such truth. You know how much she wants Brian and I to settle our differences. I don't want her to use such information as a bargaining chip on my behalf. If Brian must know that I'm carrying his child, I want to be the only one telling him that."

"My lips are sealed." Jamal gestured zipping his lips shut, locking it and throwing away the invisible keys.

"Oh, Jamal!" Lola chuckled.

"You can also count on me. I promise, I won't tell my mum." Maureen swore.

"Thanks guys." Lola motioned for a group hug.

"Aww...you ladies are going to make a gentleman cry." Jamal dabbed at his dry eyes, striking a chord of laughter amongst them.

"You know, I can't stop wondering how a licensed hospital or clinic could do something outrageous as giving falsified results."

Maureen pondered out loud as the trio walked out of the last hospital towards the car park.

"Didn't I say that there was something fishy about this whole HIV scandal when it first came up?" Jamal asked his fiancee.

"Yeah, you did." Maureen nodded her head slowly.

"I also felt that way too when I first saw the result." Lola concurred. "Even though my boss is one disgusting bastard, he is not the type to joke about his health. However, when I got in touch with the clinic and got a confirmation of the result from them, I was forced to accept the bitter truth."

"Such heartless humans." Maureen sighed.

"It's just a pity that we were all deceived by that retarded clinic."Jamal gritted his teeth in rage. "But don't worry, ladies, somebody is going to thirst the wrath of my vengeance today."

Jamal folded the sleeves of his shirt in readiness for a fistfight as he got behind the steering wheel.

"Calm down baby. There is no need to act aggressively for now. We have to use our brains first before our fist." Maureen cautioned. "There is no smoke without a fire. I don't think anyone in that hospital knows Lola or has a personal vendetta with her."

"I don't think so either." Lola concurred. She was still lost in thoughts on who and why someone was bent on destroying her marriage.

"Here is what I think," Maureen said after a brief moment of silence. "Someone in that clinic was paid to falsify Lola's test result. The question is who and what does that person stand to gain."

"Let's go find." Jamal started the ignition and drove off in the direction of the Glove clinic.

Some minutes later Jamal, Maureen and Lola arrived at Glove clinic.

They first visited the clinic's laboratory where Lola deposited a fresh blood sample and another HIV test was conducted on the blood specimen.

Under Maureen's hawkish gaze, the analysis of the blood samples was computed and handed over to Lola.

"Interesting!" Lola chuckled grimly. "See guys, it's s now negative and no longer positive."

Lola handed over the test result to Jamal.

"Someone has got an explaining to do." Jamal clenched his jaws.

"Who is in charge of this goddam facility." Jamal thundered angrily, causing some of the laboratory scientists to shudder in fear.

"Is there a problem, sir?" The head laboratory scientist came out of his office to address the aggrieved patient.

"Problem!" Jamal chuckled bitterly. "You have no idea. Gross negligence, falsification of results, unscrupulous staff members...should I continue?

"No, sir."

"Good! It's either I see the hospital executive officer now or we discuss it in court."

"There won't be any need for that, sir."

A grey-haired dainty woman in her mid-fifties, walked up to Jamal, wearing a polite smile on her face. She was just on her way out of the clinic when she heard the angry man yelling.

NEW BOOK ALERT!!!

FLASH MARRIAGE; CHARMED BY THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE CEO

章節 29: Interrogation 2

"I'm Mrs Freda Cotton, the chief executive officer of this establishment." The middle-aged woman introduced herself formally, a polite smile framing her slightly wrinkled face.

"Firstly, I would like to apologize on behalf of any of my employees that may have offended you. Secondly, I would implore you to please follow me to my office so that we can sort out the issues bothering you."

"Apology not accepted but let's go," Jamal replied in a deadpan tone. He gestured forward and Mrs Cotton led the way while others followed.

After a few minutes of settling down, Jamal briefly introduced himself and his female companions. Then he gave room for Lola to express her grievance about the falsified test result.

Lola took a few minutes to narrate her ugly ordeal at the clinic and how the false result ended up disrupting her peaceful and loving home.

"May I see both results from this clinic?" Mrs Cotton asked, her tone dripping with perplexity and horror.

"Sure." Lola handed both results to her and waited patiently as the old woman scrutinized them through her thick double-lens reading glass.

"This is impossible!" Mrs Cotton exclaimed, dropping both documents on her white table.

"Hmm..." Maureen scoffed"

"Story of my life." Jamal hissed.

"What exactly is impossible, madam?" Lola demanded in a slightly raised voice. "Is it the fact that your clinic is incompetent to carry out a simple HIV test? Or the fact that this whole HIV charade has destroyed my home...huh?"

"Calm down, Mrs Hart." Mrs Cotton pleaded. I'm very sorry for the error. I can assure you that we will get to the bottom of this."

"Good– because I'm not leaving here until I get satisfactory answers." Lola's face was expressionless as she watched the CEO pick up her intercom and start making some calls and instructing some people to report to her office instantly.

A few seconds later, the head lab scientist entered Mrs Cotton's office. He had a worried look on his face as he assessed the angry pairs of eyes staring icily at him.

"Good evening, ma'am."

"Who did you say processed the blood sample of Mrs Hart on the sixteenth of this month and today?" Mrs Cotton inquired impatiently, ignoring Chad's greetings.

"Mark processed today's sample while Betty precessed the given sample on the sixteenth," Chad replied.

"So...where is Betty?" Mrs Cotton's forehead furrowed. "I specifically told you to come down with the person who processed the blood sample for the sixteenth of this month."

"Yes, you did ma. But... Betty stepped out briefly to use the convenience. She will be with us..."

Knock! Knock!!

A gentle tap of the door interrupted Chad.

"Please, come in." Mrs Cotton called out.

The door knob turned and the door opened with a slight creak.

A smartly dressed chubby lady stepped into the office, wearing a confident look on her freckled-covered face.

"Is that the Betty?" Maureen pinched Jamal.

"I guess so." Jamal shrugged.

"Good evening ma'am." Betty smiled politely at her boss. I was told you sent for me."

"Yes, I did." Mrs Cotton adjusted the reading glasses on the bridge of her nose like an old college professor.

"Do you by any chance know this woman?" Mrs Cotton pointed at Lola.

"Yes, ma'am," Betty responded.

"Did you conduct some series of laboratory tests including HIV and pregnancy, on her blood samples?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Can you recall the result of her pregnancy and HIV test?"

"Yes, Ma. Both tests came out positive."

"Be explicit!" Mrs Cotton snapped her finger at Betty, causing the latter to shudder.

"Mrs Lola's pregnancy test was positive. Also, I confirmed that she was HIV positive."

"Hmmm..." Lola shook her head from side to side. She wasn't the violent kind of person but for a split second, she felt like standing up and giving Betty a dirty slap.

"Betty, I want to thank you for your honesty so far."

Mrs Cotton's smiling face slowly turned frosty. She picked up the results on her table and asked Betty to explain how a patient she certified HIV positive suddenly turned HIV negative."

"What!" Betty's jaws dropped. She collected the document from her boss with trembling hands and hurriedly scanned through it.

"T...this is impossible! I was so sure that I did the right thing."

"Then how do you explain the discrepancies?" Mrs Cotton lost her cool. "The same lady you certified HIV positive was confirmed negative by four different hospitals. Even when we redid the test here in our clinic, it was also negative. So tell me, how did you manufacture this result?"

"No Ma...I swear... I didn't manufacture any results." Betty pleaded.

"Then how do you explain this result?" Mr Chad's angry eyes shot fiery darts at his subordinate. He suddenly felt stupid as a supervisor.

"I...I...I don't know. It must have been an oversight. Please, pardon me." Betty went down on her knees.

"An oversight!" Lola flared up. "Did you just say an oversight? You had my HIV results cooked, sent it down to my home, destroyed my happy marriage and ruined my public image. And yet you have the effrontery to cough out nonsense!"

"Why are we wasting time with this wicked lady?" Jamal flared up, unable to stifle his rage anymore. "We should be calling the police and filing a lawsuit against this clinic."

"Exactly!" Maureen brought out her phone and started punching in some numbers

"Police! Lawsuits....ah! I'm finished!" Betty placed her two hands on top of her head.

"Mrs Hart, please I beg you in the name of God, do not allow this matter to escalate. Mrs Cotton begged. "Allow me to handle this matter internally. There is absolutely no need to get the police or the court involved in this."

"On the contrary, there is a need to involve them," Jamal spoke on behalf of Lola knowing how soft-hearted she could be at times.

"Please Ma, please sir, don't call the police. Betty cried out.

"Don't send me to jail." Betty broke down in tears. "I swear it was an honest mistake. I would never ever put someone's life at risk. Please, have mercy on me for the sake of my two children. I am a widow with no husband to fend for me. Please, have mercy."
