The Doctor’s Voluptuous Patient 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 151 - 챕터 160

Chapter 159 The morning after the second major story broke, the hospital conference room felt different. It was no longer just a temporary place to gather between crises. It had become the quiet center of something that was finally moving in one direction. Printouts of the latest articles covered one end of the table. The lawyer’s laptop sat open with a growing list of filings and requests. A secure video link stayed connected to Ruth’s new location. Jasmine, still pale but stronger, had been cleared for a short wheelchair visit and now sat near the window with Lila beside her. Ethan stood at the head of the table, going through the overnight updates with Damien and the lawyer. The detained attacker had given a full formal statement in the early hours. He confirmed the order had come through Cole Brennan. He confirmed the description he had been given matched Lila. He confirmed the instruction had been to make the complication look like a random street crime if possible, but to co

Chapter 153 The drive back from the estate was quiet. Ethan kept one hand on the wheel and the other on Lila’s thigh, fingers spread wide over the soft curve of her leg as if he needed the constant reminder that she was still here, still safe, still his. In the back seat Damien stared out the window, jaw tight. Eleanor sat beside him in silence, the confrontation with Amara still sitting heavy on her shoulders. No one spoke until they reached the private wing of the hospital. Jasmine was awake when they stepped into her room. The moment she saw their faces she knew. “They got her,” she said. It wasn’t a question. “Yes.” Ethan’s voice was low. “Amara is in custody. No bail hearing until later today, but the charges are sticking for now.” Jasmine let out a shaky breath and sank back against the pillows. “Good. I hope she rots.” Lila moved to the side of the bed and carefully took her friend’s hand. “How’s the pain?” “Manageable. They’re keeping me another night for monitoring.”

Chapter 155 The silence that followed Damien’s words felt like a held breath. Ethan stood completely still, the only movement the slow flex of his fingers at his side. Lila watched the shift in his expression—the way the protective heat he had shown her only minutes earlier cooled into something sharper and far more dangerous. “He’s trying to muddy the water,” Damien said. “If he can plant even a sliver of doubt about you, the investigators have to look at it. It buys him time and dilutes the focus on him.” “What exactly did he say?” Ethan’s voice was quiet. Damien glanced at his phone as if the details were still sitting there. “My contact only caught the edge of it. Richard claimed he has information that you and Amara were in deeper conflict than anyone knows, and that some of the pressure on the hospital board came from you trying to force her out. He’s framing himself as the concerned father who stayed quiet too long and is only now coming forward.” Lila felt a cold drop of

Chapter 157The city was still dark when they left the hospital.Ethan drove. Damien rode in the front passenger seat. Lila sat in the back with Eleanor, a light coat draped over her shoulders and Ethan’s hand reaching back every few minutes to rest on her knee. The detail followed in two separate vehicles—one ahead, one behind—chosen for anonymity rather than show.Sophia had chosen the location: a quiet private clinic on the edge of the medical district, the kind of place that opened early for discreet bloodwork and consultations. Neutral ground. Public enough that neither side could risk open force, private enough that a conversation could still happen without cameras recording every word.They arrived at 5:47.Ethan parked two streets over and walked the remaining distance with Lila’s hand firmly in his. Damien and Eleanor followed at a measured distance. The morning air was cool against Lila’s skin. She could feel the soft weight of her breasts shifting with each step, the gentle

Chapter 159 Eleanor did not tell anyone where she was going. She left the hospital after confirming Jasmine was stable and that Sophia had been moved to a secure location under full protection. The others were focused on the warrant and on keeping Lila safe. She could not sit still any longer. Something inside her had been building since the moment Amara was taken away in handcuffs, and it finally broke free. She knew where to find him. Richard still kept a private suite at a quiet residential building on the edge of the financial district, a place he used when he wanted distance from the estate. She had learned of it years ago and never spoken of it. Tonight the knowledge served her. The doorman recognized her. He hesitated only a second before letting her up. Richard opened the door himself. He looked older than the last time she had seen him this close. The sharp edges of his face had deepened, but the arrogance remained. He did not seem surprised. “I wondered how long it wo
