Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 1013

Hearing it from Florence's lips, Ludwik sounded like a man without a shred of decency!

Florence told her that she tried to take back her child, which enraged Ludwik. Fearing the hospital staff might notice, he tied her up, dumped her in the outskirts, and left her to fend for herself. If that man was so cruel, how could he not have inflicted more injuries on her?

When she rushed to the woods earlier, seeing Florence's face covered in blood, she thought Florence had been severely beaten by a man, anger flashing in her eyes.

Now, the medical examination showed Ludwik hadn't inflicted any life-threatening injuries on Florence.

"Doctor, are you sure you've checked everything thoroughly?" Parisa asked again.

"Yes, Miss Tennyson. The lady's cesarean scar is pretty nasty, looks like it was done without anesthesia," the doctor replied as he continued his examination.

Parisa froze, her expression turning cold again. It seemed Ludwik had been terribly harsh on Florence.

"Please make sure she receives proper care," Parisa stood in the emergency room, scanning the stark white room, then her gaze drifted out of the window towards the hospital, and she asked the doctor, "Did the hospital have any unwelcome visitors last night or the night before, someone who forcefully performed a C-section? Didn't you hear any noise or calls for help?"

Something felt off to her.

On her way here, she hadn't seen any of the medical staff at Sanctum Mary Medical showing signs of panic.

This meant Ludwik's infiltration into the hospital had been done in secret?

The bearded doctor shook his head, "I'm sorry, I've been on day shifts for the past two days. The hospital seemed normal, and I didn't hear any calls for help or anything unusual."

"No one called for help?" Parisa's sharp gaze slowly settled on Florence's head.

She was so afraid of Ludwik, being held hostage by him in the hospital, and she didn't call for help?

Another question arose, Florence had been in the hospital for three days, and she didn't seek help immediately? Even if she didn't reach out to her, didn't she try to alert the hospital?

Was Florence threatened by Ludwik, or was there another reason?

Parisa furrowed her brows, feeling that Florence hadn't given a full account. It seemed they might need to check the surveillance footage to investigate Ludwik further.

However—

An hour later, Erik arrived at Florence's new hospital room with the results of his investigation into the hospital, shaking his head, "Madam Chairman, I personally went to the security room of Miss Florence's private villa to retrieve the surveillance footage. However, all footage from the past three days is missing. The security department doesn't know what happened, but it seems it can't be recovered."

Parisa twirled her cold fingers, her eyes narrowing slightly, "Surveillance missing? Malfunction or tampering?"

Erik glanced at Florence on the bed, knowing the Chairman had heard the story from her daughter but still wanted to check the hospital's surveillance herself.

It showed the Chairman's meticulous nature and her desire to see for herself what had happened.

He lowered his voice, "The security department thinks it was likely tampered with."

"Who deleted the surveillance?" Parisa murmured, her gaze thoughtful.

Florence, who had secretly awakened on the bed, panicked, pressing her weak voice to say in distress, "Cough cough... I can't believe Ludwik went so far as to delete the surveillance!

Mom, you don't understand him. He's very cunning and leaves no trace behind. He did this so you wouldn't see his face and recognize him, find him!"

Parisa's almond eyes were cold and unreadable.

She turned to Florence, "Your reasoning makes sense, considering he broke into the hospital to force you into a C-section, committing a crime. But, for a man from Harmonia Country to have such reach within Sanctum Mary Medical, and so swiftly, his methods seem too strong."
