Today was Tuesday. She knew Aunt Anna usually took some children from the orphanage to visit Maestro Hospital, the largest hospital in their district. The plan was if she could successfully convince Adrian to take her there under the pretense of seeking medical attention, it would be easy to slip away and either see Aunt Anna or at least leave a message for her.
Genevieve's face remained grim and pale on the outside, but inside, she was practically buzzing with excitement at how perfect the plan seemed.
Until Adrian shattered it with a single sentence, "If you are not feeling well, I can invite the family doctor to come around."
She turned to look at him, her mind racing. Why the hell did they have to have family doctors?
"Family doctors?" she murmured, not bothering to hide the dejection in her tone. "I… I think it would be better to visit the hospital instead of using a home doctor."
