Chapter 8: Twisted Survival
172 Words
Damien was rudely shocked as a young police officer nearly knocked him over trying to get his attention, and he questioned him as to what was so urgent. He cringed again as the lad called him by the title he dreaded.
"Doc, there's a pattern here. I checked on the unfortunate babies' identities and found out they were all from the same six-bedded B2 ward at KK Hospital. The problem is - it was fully booked that day ..."
Damien c****d his head. "And?"
"There are only five babies here."
"Well, maybe the remaining mom checked out."
"That's the problem Doc. She didn't. She disappeared. She was also a surrogate mom. The hospital registered her only as Mei Ling, and somehow her IC number was erased. And one more thing Doc"
"Yes?"
"She hadn't given birth yet."
Just as he thought he had found his suspect, a very sweaty, bloody, dishevelled obviously pregnant teenage girl nearly fell on him.
The same girl who had been complaining about her grades in the train.
