Chapter 631

"Why should I show you?" Vivian clutched her medical records tightly to her chest.

Ethan reached for them. "Let me check your stomach condition."

"Back off!" She shoved him away and strode toward the hospital exit.

He followed. "The pharmacy is that way!"

Vivian didn't slow down. "The doctor said to monitor first. No medication needed."

Ethan frowned. She'd claimed to have stomach issues—why wasn't she getting treatment?

After dropping her home, he booted up his laptop in the car. His hacking skills were rusty, but answers were necessary today.

The hospital system showed several "Vivian Laurent" visits. None appeared under gastroenterology.

"Strange..." He stared at the screen. What was she really here for? Why no records?

A horn blared. Lucas Lefèvre leaned from a car window. "Ethan Roscente! Harassing Vivian again?"

"I'm protecting her."

"We don't need you!" Lucas glared. "Stay away from her!"

"Not happening."

Lucas drove into the villa garage without another word. He had urgent business with Vivian.

Upstairs, Vivian typed rapidly at her study desk. She had to erase her prenatal records before Ethan found them.

"Done." She hit enter. The encryption program was her own design—unbreakable.

"Vivian!" Lucas called from below.

She opened the door. "What is it?"

Finn Deross peered from the second floor. "Problem?"

"Nothing." Vivian glanced outside. "Is Ethan still there?"

Lucas nodded. "Like gum on your shoe."

"Ignore him." She turned back inside. "Any updates on the property?"

He pulled files from his briefcase. "All here. Quiet location, excellent medical access."

Vivian reviewed them carefully. Her overseas birth plan required perfect timing—these listings arrived right on schedule.
