The CEO’s Pet Cat

Chapter 55: Plotting and scheming



Before he could finish his words, Mia also reflected that it was Wang Yuxin who was now staying in the ward, and this Dr. Li didn’t hesitate to admit that it was Liam Jun who told him where she was going, that meant one thing, this Dr. Li didn’t go to the ward at all, he found his way here directly!

Mia already had her doubts when he came to get her back to the ward in person, but now it was even more clear that there was definitely something wrong with this Dr. Lee!

Mia stood out from behind Claude and calmly questioned, “Dr. Li, what do you want? The one staying in the ward now is my good friend Wang Yuxin, not Liam Jun!”

Dr. Li froze, not expecting to be torn apart so easily, his gentle face instantly changed, his gloomy gaze fixed on the small of Mia’s back, and the syringe he had been hiding behind his back was slowly brought to his body, the needle emitting a cold glow under the refraction of the sunlight.

Immediately afterwards, five men, dressed in white, scattered around Mia and Claude.

“Miss Luo, I don’t want anything, I just want to remind you that it’s time for your shot.” Dr. Lee’s face was plastered with a sinister smile, emboldened to take a step closer to the two.

Claude quickly shielded Mia behind him and looked warily at the five men who surrounded them, as well as Dr. Lee who was slowly approaching them with a syringe, cursing in his heart, damn, this Dr. Lee actually had no qualms about his presence and was blatantly about to do evil based on the number of people!

“Damn it, if you lay a finger on her, I’ll make your life a living hell!” Looking coldly at Dr. Lee who was slowly walking over, Claude’s gaze was grim.

Dr. Lee, however, ignored his threats and took the opportunity to rush towards them with the syringe while Claude was talking.

Claude blocked Mia behind him with one hand, and with his other hand, he grabbed Dr. Lee’s arm holding the syringe with his eyes instantly turning morbidly cold, and with a force of his wrist, the syringe in his palm fell to the ground as Dr. Lee screamed, the medicine in the syringe spilling out from the vibration.

The five men scattered around them saw that Dr. Li was subdued and immediately lunged towards the two of them, seeing this scene, Claude could only grit his teeth and coldly questioned, “Dr. Li, if you dare to hurt this young lady, I will tell Master Jun and make you disappear from this world completely!”

With a cold smile on his face, Dr. Li said nonchalantly, “Vice President Xiang, you still don’t know, right? This is what Master Jun sent us to do. If you’re sensible, we won’t hurt you, after all, this matter has nothing to do with you!”

Hearing those words, the two people over here instantly stiffened in place, especially Mia, whose entire body felt like it had been struck by lightning, frozen in place as if it was a stone statue, her eyes wide and her face ashen.

What she just heard …

Did this man just say that Asher sent him?

It was Asher who wanted to destroy the baby in her belly! And, in this way too!

Seeing Mia’s expression, Dr. Li knew that his words had worked, and a cunning glint slipped under his eyes, “Miss Luo, the medicine in this syringe is still the one that Master Jun specially ordered us to configure. After this medicine is administered, you will fall asleep and the baby will be shed without you knowing it, and you won’t feel any pain. Mia, I think you’d better give in …”

“You mean …” Mia, pale and shaken as if she would collapse at any moment, stared incredulously at Dr. Lee’s syringe.

She couldn’t imagine what it would be like if that syringe was stuck in her. Nor could she imagine that it had actually been configured at Asher’s special command for them to destroy the baby in her belly!

Wasn’t it enough that he had been so desperate to get her to abort?Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Seeing Mia’s deathly expression, Claude’s gloomy eyes looked across at Dr. Lee, his voice cold to the core, “What are you guys babbling about, surely Asher doesn’t know about this, who the hell did you send?”

It was a plant, Asher didn’t even know Mia was pregnant, much less send someone to the hospital! And, knowing Asher as he does, if he knew Mia was pregnant, he would have been even less likely to let her abort the baby and would have just let her come back to him.

These guys were obviously sent by someone else!

“Vice President Xiang, if you still protect this woman, then don’t blame a few of us for being rude to you!” Claude’s icy coldness caused Dr. Li’s body to tremble, but he quickly recovered and threatened viciously.

“Claude, get out of here, this has nothing to do with you, don’t let me drag you down with me!” Mia’s face was white and her eyes were full of despair.

Claude looked back at Mia anxiously, “Mia, listen to me, Asher would never do this, you have to trust him!”

Trust him …

After what he’d done, how else was she supposed to believe it?

Two lines of tears ran down the corners of Mia’s eyes, leaving two tear tracks on her pale face, and after her mouth tasted the bitterness of the tears, Mia pulled out a sad smile.

Sure enough, he still wouldn’t leave her alone?

This man when really so desperate, just really hates her to this extent, hates her enough to kill even his own child.

In this moment, a shoot of hate that Mia had hidden in the deepest part of her heart quietly burst forth.

“Alright, cut the crap guys, since Master Jun has decided so, we wouldn’t dare to disobey, so please bear with Vice President if you offend him in any way.” Doctor Li stood up from the ground and impatiently interrupted Claude, twisting his head to signal a few other people to slowly narrow the circle.

Claude shielded Mia in his arms and looked at Dr. Lee coldly and said, “Dr. Lee, aren’t you afraid we’ll call the police if you do that?”

“Haha, to Vice President, would I be that naive? After the matter is completed, Master Jun will give me a large sum of money, and then I will take my whole family far away, what else is there to fear?” Dr. Li was not willing to show any weakness, smiling fiercely as he edged closer towards the two men.

Looking at the few people pressing towards them, Mia and Claude’s palms were sweating, but they didn’t know how to react. It was very isolated and few people passed by, so even if they called out to someone, they wouldn’t get there in time.

Dr. Lee may have noticed this and smiled sardonically as he approached them unhurriedly.

Mia slowly closed her eyes and said softly, “Claude, it’s my fault, I’m the one who dragged you down, just hurry up and go, this has nothing to do with you, they won’t do anything to you.”

“Do you think I’ll leave you alone now?” Claude watched the few people around him closely, ready to fight for his life.

No matter what, he couldn’t let Mia get hurt again, and he wanted to prove to Mia that this was definitely not something Asher had ordered Dr. Lee to do.

There was silence all around, the air almost dull and suffocating.

Just as Dr. Lee was about to lunge with the syringe in his hand, a scream was heard, “Someone, someone’s about to commit murder here, someone, someone, someone!”

Dr. Li’s face changed, and he couldn’t see who was actually shouting behind him, and immediately scurried towards a hidden place with his head in his hands, and the few remaining people froze and hurriedly fled in all directions.

Mia and Claude were left standing in place, breathing heavily.

But she saw Wang Yuxin darting towards them and said worriedly, “Luckily we came in time, otherwise, Mia would have been in danger.”

It was only after a long time of being frozen in place that the three returned to the ward with palpitations.

A low and gloomy atmosphere filled the entire ward, Mia sat on the white hospital bed, a pair of dull and lifeless eyes staring straight up at the ceiling. Wang Yuxin, who was sitting at the side, saw such a Mia, and a pain that was hard to hide slipped through her heart.

The room was horribly silent, and no one spoke again.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Yuxin stood up from her seat at once, her gloomy gaze glanced at Mia on the bed, and then walked straight towards the door. She was going to find Asher, she was going to question her personally about what was going on questioning why he was so desperate?

Wang Yuxin was just about to open the door when she was stopped by Claude, her angry gaze glaring at Claude who stopped her, her gloomy eyes saying icily, “Get out of the way!”

Claude slowly shook his head, his deep eyes fixed on Wang Yuxin’s cold face, he understood very well what the consequences would be if he let this woman out now, “Wang Yuxin, now is not the time to be impulsive, I think there must be some kind of misunderstanding here.”

It wasn’t that he was defending Asher or anything, but there was something really revealing in this whole thing that was unspeakably weird, not to mention that he hadn’t told Asher about Mia’s pregnancy, and that he was certain that Asher didn’t even know the doctor.

Hearing Claude’s words, Wang Yuxin’s eyes instantly widened and she swatted the hand that was over the back of her hand away, gritting her teeth as she questioned Claude, “Misunderstanding? Claude, you really think we’re idiots!”

At that moment, Mia, who had been lying in the hospital bed without saying a word, finally stirred.

“It doesn’t matter how things really are now.” Mia’s vacant eyes swept over Claude before looking back up at the ceiling, “To the Vice President, now you can leave.”

It doesn’t matter to her now … it doesn’t matter.

Crystalline teardrops slowly slid down the corners of her eyes, eventually soaking into the sheets beneath her.

Hearing Mia’s eviction order, Wang Yuxin also cooperated by opening the door of the ward with a gesture of invitation, “Claude, please!”

Claude stood there, his deep eyes gazing silently at the woman on the bed, slowly closing his eyes and easing his inky pupils out of sight, before walking to the bed with a determined stride, “Mia, I believe Asher, if you want to get this straightened out then just go to the person in question yourself.”
