The court adjournment did not bring peace.
It only unleashed chaos faster.
Within an hour, the story had consumed the entire city.
Every news platform.
Every business channel.
Every social page.
"RAVENSCROFT BABY SCANDAL DEEPENS."
"COURT ORDERS HOSPITAL INVESTIGATION."
"WAS A NEWBORN SWITCH EXECUTED FOUR MONTHS AGO?"
Outside both hospitals, reporters gathered like vultures.
Cameras lined the entrance gates.
Microphones shoved toward doctors, nurses, and staff rushing in and out.
Inside—
Panic had already started.
Not because the management was guilty.
But because nobody wanted their hospital attached to child trafficking, baby swapping, or criminal negligence.
Emergency meetings began immediately.
Legal departments involved.
Security departments activated.
IT teams summoned.
Archives reopened.
Everything became priority.
At Vivian's delivery hospital, the boardroom atmosphere was suffocating.
