Chapter 1905 A Thorough Physical Examination
Since Mylo had mentioned that she had a headache, the doctor was only planning on performing a CT scan at first. However, Francesca told the doctor, “Apart from headaches, I’ve also been having stomachaches and gastric pains lately. In fact, I’m hurting pretty much everywhere…”
“In that case, I’ll perform a complete physical examination.”
The doctor didn’t dare waste another second and quickly carried out a thorough physical examination.
Francesca had assumed she would have a chance to make her escape then, but Mylo and the other bodyguards followed her closely the whole time. Not only did their actions eliminate all chances of her escaping, but they were also making the medical staff incredibly nervous.
“It’s just a physical examination, you guys! There’s no need to cause such a huge scene!” Francesca deliberately exclaimed in displeasure.
“We’re simply worried about your safety, Ms. Cece. I’ve already informed Mr. Lindberg, so he’s on his way here now,” Mylo explained.
Francesca froze in shock. “What? He’s coming over?”
“That’s right. Mr. Lindberg was going to meet you at the bridal shop, but he came rushing over the moment he heard you were unwell,” Mylo replied with a straight face.
Oh, no… I have to get out of here before Danrique arrives, or I won’t be able to escape!
With that in mind, Francesca asked, “How much longer until he gets here?”
“The office is a little far away from here. He has only just left the building, so it’d take about half an hour or so. Don’t worry. Mr. Lindberg is really concerned about you, so he’ll try to get here as quickly as possible,” Mylo replied.
Right as Francesca was hoping for him to arrive later, the doctor arranged for her to be examined by a gynecologist.
Fortunately for her, the bodyguards assigned to her that day were all male.
Noticing her golden opportunity, Francesca quickly told them, “You guys can just wait outside for me. This shouldn’t take long.”
“All right. Just call out to us if anything happens, and we’ll be with you immediately,” Mylo reminded her.
“Like I said, this is just a physical examination. The doctor’s not going to hurt me or anything, so what could possibly happen?” Francesca protested in displeasure.
Not wanting to anger the future wife of his boss, Mylo flashed her an apologetic smile and said, “Of course, Ms. Cece. Here, I’ll hold on to your bag and coat for you.”
“No need. I can hold on to them myself.”
Francesca then entered the examination room with the nurses after that.
While waiting in the corridor outside, Mylo whispered at Sloan, “Hey, don’t you feel like there’s something off about Ms. Cece today?”
“No, I don’t. What’s the matter?” Sloan asked in confusion.
Mylo frowned as he explained, “She was just having a headache earlier, so a CT scan would’ve sufficed. But then, she suddenly says she’s hurting everywhere and insists on getting a complete physical examination. I feel like she’s trying to stall for time…”
“Stall for time? Why would she do that?” Sloan asked.
Mylo’s expression changed instantly. “Maybe she’s trying to escape? She did try to escape twice before, but failed in both of her attempts. I think we should check on her!”
He was about to enter the examination room, but Sloan quickly stopped him and said, “Can’t you read the sign? Men aren’t allowed in there!”
“What if Ms. Cece escapes, though? How will we explain it to Mr. Lindberg? We’d be done for if he gets mad!” Mylo exclaimed anxiously.
“Things would get even worse if we end up making Ms. Cece mad!” Sloan snapped back at him.
“But…” Mylo was at a loss.
“I’ll go check on things, so you wait here for my return. We don’t want to cause a huge scene and end up offending Ms. Cece as a result. You know how mad Mr. Lindberg can get if that happens, don’t you?” Sloan suggested.
Mylo nodded. “You’re right. Hurry up, then! We have to make sure that everything is okay!”
“I know.”
Sloan then made his way over to the examination room and knocked on the door. “Ms. Cece?”
Having knocked out the nurses inside the examination room, Francesca was about to escape through the window when she heard Sloan’s voice coming from outside the door.
