The Doctor’s Voluptuous Patient 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 141 - 챕터 150

Chapter 140The warehouse air felt heavier after Ethan’s mother’s voice finished playing.Sophia’s confident posture had cracked. One of the men behind her glanced at the exit like he was reconsidering his paycheck. Lila stood in the small office doorway now, no longer sitting, her eyes fixed on Ethan with a mixture of pride and fear.Sophia recovered first, though her voice had lost some of its earlier smoothness. “A lawsuit from a woman who spent twenty years saying nothing? That will take months to go anywhere. You think that scares us?”Ethan did not answer her. His phone buzzed in his hand. A new message from an unknown number, but the tone was unmistakable.Richard.You should not have involved your mother. Come to the house. Alone. Bring Lila. We settle this as a family before the press turns it into a circus. You have thirty minutes. If you refuse, the next story that breaks will be about your unstable pregnant girlfriend and the dangerous men she associates with. I still own

Chapter 142Eleanor blank had not set foot inside the hospital in years, not since the night she left with only one baby in her arms and a lie sitting heavy in her chest. Today she walked through the main entrance like a woman who had finally run out of silence.She wore a simple dark coat, her hair pulled back, face pale but set with a determination that made the reception staff freeze mid-sentence. The lawsuit papers were already filed. The journalists had the first statements. But paperwork and articles were no longer enough. She needed to look Amara in the eye.“Where is she?” Eleanor demanded, her voice carrying across the lobby. “Where is the woman who stole my child? The baby-stealing demon called Amara!”Conversations stopped. A nurse dropped a chart. Two security guards near the elevators turned sharply.Eleanor did not wait for an answer. She moved toward the executive wing with the single-minded focus of someone who had carried the same wound for more than two decades. Staf

Chapter 144The plan came together in under three hours.Damien coordinated from a different city, using two men he trusted who had no remaining ties to Richard’s payroll. Ethan stayed at the safe house with Lila and Eleanor, running communication and watching for any sign that Richard already knew where Ruth was. Every half hour Damien sent a short update. The tone stayed controlled, but the underlying urgency never left.At 3:40 p.m. the final message arrived.We have her. Clean extraction. No contact on site. Moving to the secondary location now. ETA four hours.Ethan read it aloud. Lila closed her eyes in brief relief. Eleanor stood up from the table and walked to the window, arms folded tightly across her chest as if she needed to hold herself together.“She’s really coming,” Eleanor said quietly. “After all this time, someone who was actually there is going to stand in front of people and say what happened.”Lila rose and crossed the room, resting a gentle hand on Eleanor’s back

Chapter 154The new safe apartment still smelled faintly of dust and fresh paint. Boxes remained unpacked in the corner. The blinds stayed drawn. It was secure, but it felt temporary in a way that wore on everyone.Ethan stood by the door with his jacket already on, speaking in a low voice to the lawyer on the phone. The man needed him at the downtown office within the hour to review Ruth’s formal statement and prepare the next emergency filing. The timing was tight. Leaving Lila alone was not ideal, but there was no way around it.He ended the call and turned to her. “I have to go. Two hours, maybe a little more. I don’t want you here by yourself.”Lila sat on the couch with her feet tucked under her, one hand resting on her stomach. The baby had been quiet most of the morning, which somehow made her more aware of every small movement. “I’ll be fine. I’ve stayed alone before.”“Not with Richard escalating like this.” Ethan rubbed a hand over his face. “I’m calling Jasmine.”Lila start

Chapter 148Morning light filtered weakly through the hospital blinds when Jasmine’s fingers first twitched.Lila had refused to leave the ICU waiting area all night. Ethan stayed with her, dozing in short, uneasy stretches while Damien and Eleanor took turns bringing coffee and updates. The private security detail outside Jasmine’s room had become a quiet fixture. Police had already taken preliminary statements. The grainy park video had spread further overnight, attaching itself to every existing article about the Vance family.At 7:14 a.m. a nurse stepped into the waiting area and looked directly at Lila.“She’s awake. She’s asking for you.”Lila was on her feet before the sentence finished. Ethan followed close behind as they were led into the ICU bay. Damien and Eleanor came with them. Jasmine looked fragile against the pillows, skin still too pale, an oxygen tube under her nose, but her eyes were open and clear.When she saw Lila her mouth attempted a weak smile.“You’re okay,”
