Chapter 305: Elena Ward's Figure Disappeared at the End of the Corridor

Elena Ward's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, yet Victor Hale's gaze lingered, unable to pull away.

Too familiar.

That slight tilt of her chin when she turned, that cool, distant aura—it was identical to the woman in his memories.

"You think she looks familiar too, don't you?" Dr. Sandra Miller sighed softly.

Victor snapped out of his thoughts and quickly introduced, "This is my daughter, Camille Hale. Camille, say hello to Dr. Miller."

"Hello, Dr. Miller," Camille greeted obediently, her voice gentle.

"What a well-mannered girl," Dr. Miller remarked warmly, studying her. "How old are you?"

"Eighteen."

Dr. Miller's expression shifted slightly, her gaze turning thoughtful as she glanced at Victor.

Victor immediately understood her unspoken question and forced a bitter smile. "Julia and I had already separated by then. She... fell in love with someone else."

He lowered his eyes, his tone heavy. "Let's not talk about it. Just consider it my fault."

After all, the dead couldn’t defend themselves.

"Impossible!" Dr. Miller shook her head in disbelief. "Julia adored you. How could she—?"

The girl who had willingly cut ties with her family for Victor—how could she have changed her heart?

"Some memories are better left in the past," Victor deflected. "I never expected you to become the hospital director. I’m truly happy for you."

A calculating gleam flickered in his eyes. A hospital director—now that was a valuable connection.

"That Dr. Ward..." Victor feigned hesitation. "She looks so much like Julia."

"Yes, but she has parents and siblings. It’s probably just a coincidence," Dr. Miller said, her expression dimming.

"I remember Julia was sent to a rural area near Dr. Ward’s hometown back then..."

Dr. Miller looked up sharply. "Really?"

"If Julia’s child were still alive, they’d be about that age now," Victor murmured. "But the Yu family..."

"The Yus never returned to the capital after their rehabilitation," Dr. Miller said, shaking her head. "I heard Old Man Yu’s health declined, and his sons stayed with him in the countryside."

Victor exhaled inwardly in relief.

After exchanging contact information, he deliberately added, "If you hear anything about Dr. Ward, please let me know."

As she watched the father and daughter leave, Dr. Miller fell into deep thought. She would get to the bottom of this.

The black sedan pulled away from the hospital slowly.

"Dad, are we just letting this go?" Camille asked quietly.

"Send someone to investigate," Victor said, narrowing his eyes. "If she really is my daughter, bringing her back to the family is only right."

He turned to his daughter. "As for your mother..."

"I’ll handle it," Camille replied with a faint smile, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

For the sake of the Hale family, anyone could be sacrificed.
