Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2204

Three minutes later, five tall men in black suits discreetly entered the baby’s ward in intervals to avoid drawing attention.

The woman in the nurse uniform had restrained Lucinda and gagged her with a towel.

The disorder in the ward and the disheveled appearance of both women suggested a violent struggle had occurred before the men arrived.

The leader inquired, “What happened here?”

Breathing heavily, the nurse replied with a forced smile, “We’re late.

This lady sent the baby to the doctor for a check-up.

It seems he’s still in the examination room.

She returned here to retrieve something and encountered me, leading to this fight.

”

The leader expressed his displeasure.

“Then why didn’t you search for the child and take him, instead of just tying her up and guarding her?”

“She’s skilled in jujitsu.

I worried that if I left, she’d use something in the room to break free and seek help.

What should I do if that happened?”

The woman looked uneasy.

“Why were you so delayed? I’m here by myself.

How can I manage both tasks alone? She just threatened me, claiming her partner heads the National Security Bureau, and that I’m in trouble.

”

The leader remained silent, his dark eyes peering intensely from behind his sunglasses, hinting at his dissatisfaction.

The woman continued to argue, “Look, I’ve already secured her, and now that she knows, we can’t just let her go.

It might be better to take her too.

I’ve heard the head of the National Security Bureau is very fond of his wife.

Kidnapping her might be more effective than taking a child.

Perhaps, even if you aim for the entire National Security Bureau, he might surrender it willingly.

”

The leader paused for a moment, and then subtly signaled to his associate.

The associate immediately used his mobile to make a call.

After receiving confirmation from the other end, he nodded to the leader.

“Take her away,” commanded the leader to the woman who had tied up Lucinda.

“You should continue to disguise yourself as a nurse and head back to the doctor’s office to take the child.

Bring the three of them, just in case.

We need to take both the child and the woman.

”

“Understood.

”

Lucinda was blindfolded with black fabric and placed inside a coarse sack to avoid drawing attention within the hospital.

The leader swiftly changed his outfit, grabbed a trolley, and pushed it away, hiding Lucinda in the sack beneath many vegetables.

They hacked the surveillance system and used the employee passage without any obstacles.

Only when they reached the black minibus did they pull Lucinda from the sack and toss her onto the back seat.

However, the group didn’t immediately leave.

They planned to wait for the other individuals who were supposed to kidnap the baby to return.

A few minutes later, the leader received a message, and his voice grew more serious.

“The situation has changed.

The National Security Bureau has stationed additional undercover guards in the hospital.

It seems we can’t take the child.

Tell them to pull back and drive off.

”

Lucinda’s mouth had been gagged, and her blindfold was not removed.

However, she could hear everything clearly.

Lucinda let out a sigh of relief.

Thinking about little Colby hidden in the wardrobe of the ward, she felt increasingly nervous.
