Chapter 309

The doctor couldn’t help but interject after overhearing their conversation. “If you don’t report it to the police, and the patient is still alive somewhere, wouldn’t you miss the opportunity to rescue her?”

Hearing this, William turned and shoved a thick envelope into the doctor’s palm.

“Dr. Warren, I heard your family’s been going through a rough patch lately. Take this. It might help you get through it. You understand what to say, and what not to say, right?”

Lenny Warren glanced at the weighty envelope in his hand and hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he nodded. “Yes, Mr. Lewis. Don’t worry. I won’t say a word that shouldn’t be said.”

Cassandra still wasn’t at ease. “Then what do we do now?”

William had an empty look in his eyes. “If the Lloyd family asks, we say we don’t know. She vanished. Maybe she woke up on her own and left.”

“But what if she was kidnapped, and the kidnappers come asking for ransom? Wouldn’t that give us away?” Samantha added.

“Then we say we’re just as surprised. We know nothing about it,” William replied coldly, brushing the responsibility off without a care.

Although Lenny had taken William’s money, deep down he couldn’t help but think, “This family is ruthless. None of the praise about them online was true."

Lenny had believed William was the most devoted husband in all of Yurelia City, the man every woman had a crush on.

But now, the mask was off. When it came down to it, seven years of marriage could be discarded like trash the moment it became inconvenient.

Lenny could only shake his head helplessly. He was just a doctor and was powerless against people like them. All he could do was silently pray for Rachel’s safety. No one knew if she was dead or alive.

But no matter how much William tried to cover things up, word still made its way to the Lloyd family.

Jim and the others rushed to the hospital not long after.

Jim’s face was ashen, and his steps were hurried. He shoved open the door to the ward and stormed in.

William stood there with a tense look on his face. This time, Jim gave him no chance to speak. He grabbed William by the collar and punched him square in the face.

“Where is Rachel?! I asked you, where the hell is she?!”

William didn’t fight back. He simply took the punch and lowered his head. “I’m sorry, Dad. This is my fault. You can hit me as much as you want. I’ve already sent people out to search for her. The moment we hear anything, I’ll let you know.”

Cassandra couldn’t bear to see William get hit. She rushed forward and shielded him.

“Hey! Jim, who gave you the right to hit my son? Your daughter married him. She didn’t sign her life away to the Lewis family. Yes, we’re responsible, but you can’t pin the entire thing on us!”

Jim’s face was dark with rage. His hands trembled as he pointed at William. “What did you say before I left? You said you’d stay by Rachel’s side until she woke up. It’s only been a few hours, and now you’re telling me my daughter’s just vanished? That she just disappeared into thin air?”

Standing nearby, Yvette was equally confused. ‘What’s going on?’ she thought.

Hadn’t she already contacted someone to inject the drug into Rachel? She had clearly told them to make sure Rachel stopped breathing and then leave immediately.

But that person’s phone had been unreachable ever since, and she had assumed the plan had failed.

And now Jim was saying Rachel had gone missing.
