Chapter 399 – Death by Asphyxiation?
“The nurse said the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby’s neck and he suffocated.” Bowen Carter spoke calmly, but he couldn’t help clenching his fists, smothering his heart.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“The umbilical cord is wrapped around the child’s neck, this can be detected during the examination, what’s wrong with the hospital?!” Carter’s mother was so angry that her face changed, “I’m going to the hospital to ask for an explanation, we the Carter family sponsor so much money to them every year, this is how they repay us the Carter family?”
She got into the elevator again and said with some urgency, “Mike, you’re coming along.”
Bowen Carter followed into the elevator, his eyes austere. If the hospital was indeed responsible for Tess Baker giving birth to a dead baby, he would make these people pay!
The two men were followed by three bodyguards to the dean’s office.
Inside the office.
“Mrs. Nan, Master Carter? rare guest ah!” The dean was talking to the head of the neurology department, when he saw the two come in, he hurriedly stood up to greet them, while commanding the head of the neurology department, “Quickly make some tea for the two of you!”
“No!” Carter’s mother got right to the point, “Let me ask you, did you know about Tess Baker’s regular pregnancy tests at your hospital?”
Off to the side, Bowen Carter didn’t make a sound, but the cold stare was more oppressive than Carter’s mother’s.
The dean was glad that he had made preparations in advance, “This I know, and I am also the obstetrics side, Master Carter grandmother’s pregnancy test results I have also read. The baby looks quite good, the little …” girl will definitely be as beautiful as Grandma Master Carter in the future.
But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Carter’s mother’s stern voice, “If the baby is growing well, how could he die of suffocation with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck? If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation today, don’t blame me for being merciless!”
“Asphyxiation … asphyxiation death?” The dean was also confused, judging from the pregnancy test results, this wouldn’t happen. And he counted the days, Master Carter’s grandmother was just over eight months old, how did she give birth?
While he was also confused, a man rushed in without even knocking, “Dean, the doctor in our department said that Grandma Master Carter gave birth to a dead …” baby.
Upon seeing Bowen Carter and Carter’s mother in the office, he didn’t say his last two words.
“Tell me specifically, what’s going on?” A cold sweat broke out on the Dean’s head, why was someone only telling him now about such a big deal? He had also specifically instructed them that Master Carter’s grandmother had to make a report to him about everything!
The doctor looked at Carter’s mother and Bowen Carter with some restraint and said, “The doctor and a couple of nurses said the baby was born dead, strangled by the umbilical cord.”
“Grandma Master Carter’s previous pregnancy tests didn’t even show any umbilical cord wrapping around the baby, so how could she be strangled by the umbilical cord?” Under Bowen Carter’s cold gaze, the dean could even breathe easier.
The doctor’s head straight cold sweat, “This … this I do not know ah.”
“Go get me the midwife and those nurses!” The dean yelled.
The doctor immediately went out, and within a few moments called the midwife and a couple of nurses over.
At first several of the men insisted that the child had been strangled by the umbilical cord, but Bowen Carter, seeing that they looked unusual, warned them.
One of the nurses was crying in fear, “You mustn’t let the hospital fire us, I’ll say it, I’ll say it all.”
The dean’s heart was pounding out of his chest. What does that mean? What else is going on? Did they really make a mistake in delivering the baby and strangled it to death?
It’s over. It’s over. He’s done for as a dean!
“Say.” Bowen Carter’s face was expressionless.
The little nurse was a little weak, but she cried, and the tears covered that, “When we started to deliver Grandma Master Carter’s baby, she just wouldn’t cooperate with us.”
“She said she didn’t want the child and asked us to make it look like an accidental death, we definitely didn’t agree ah! But … but she said, if we don’t agree, she won’t cooperate with us, and when it comes to a dead body, none of us will be good.”
Bowen Carter’s eyes were shadowy and every word was squeezed from his throat, “Are you telling the truth?”
“I … am telling the truth …” the little nurse’s eyes were swollen with tears, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask them. ”
She pointed to several other nurses and the midwife.
Several nurses were too frightened to speak, just nodding their heads vigorously one by one.
The doctor barely maintains his composure, “Master Carter, Mrs. Nan, this matter is really not our fault. At that time, the situation was critical, if we didn’t agree to Master Carter’s grandmother’s request, we really could have killed two people, so we could only endure the pain and agree to Master Carter’s grandmother’s request.”
“Why did she let you do this?” Bowen Carter’s face was a dark cloud, a violent aura tumbling around him.
The midwife was stared at by him, her hands and feet went limp, her lips couldn’t stop trembling, and she couldn’t say a word. I don’t know whether she was scared or weak-minded, but cold sweat kept breaking out on her head.
“We … we don’t know …” spoke the same first little nurse, crying as she did, “Who knows Master Carter’s grandmother why she killed her own child? Say … maybe the baby wasn’t Master Carter’s own and she just …”
“What are you talking nonsense about? Don’t talk nonsense about things you don’t have proof of!” The dean nearly jumped out of his skin at the young nurse’s words as he turned to Bowen Carter and Carter’s mother and smiled sardonically, “The kid’s a school intern, and she’s talking out of her ass, so I’ll apologize for her.”
“I am also right, if … if Master Carter grandmother is not weak hearted, she … how would she let us do this?” The little nurse stumbled over her words, her heart beating wildly, her crying, swollen eyes full of panic.
The dean’s face turned blue, “You’ve watched too many TV shows and are here to set up a story? Get out, all of you!”
The midwife and a couple of other nurses rushed off dragging the little nurse who was still crying.
“Master Carter, Mrs. Nan, this … this …” The dean really didn’t know how to round up the situation, in fact, he thought that the little nurse had a good point, otherwise there was no way to explain Master Carter’s grandmother commanded people to get their own children killed.
And Grandma Master Carter sold out The Carter Group for her lover, which is known to many people, so maybe this dead kid belongs to Grandma Master Carter’s lover!
“Where is that child?” Carter’s mother’s face was red for a moment and blue for a while, she was furious to the extreme, “Dean Li, have someone do a paternity test on that dead child right now, I want to see the results today!”
The last word she shouted.
“No need.” Bowen Carter tightened his handsome face and turned on his heel, subconsciously trying to avoid the matter. Even though, the ‘facts’ were right in front of him.
“No what?” Carter’s mother tugged at him, not allowing him to leave, “You have to do this paternity test today, I need to see what Tess Baker is up to!”
“Let go!” Bowen Carter’s brow furrowed, the bags under his eyes rolling with anger.
