The nurse nodded and said, "That's correct. It was labor induction." She then showed a picture on her phone, revealing Maisie's confidential medical report.

"You might not understand all the medical terms and data, but it does show Ms. Squire's past record. She did undergo labor induction.

"Moreover, from the records, it's clear that the fetus was not mature, around four to five months. This should have been a stable period during her pregnancy, yet labor induction was performed. I can't imagine what happened back then."

Graham squinted and bit his lip, a sly expression appearing on his pale face.

"You may not get it, but I do," he said.

The nurse was surprised. "Sir, you—"

"Okay," Graham instructed, meeting her gaze. "Keep this to yourself. I won't need your help anymore. Be discreet."

The nurse nodded and quietly exited through a nearby door.

Graham stood still, deep in thought. This was likely related to Daniel.

From what he remembered, Maisie had been reserved in their relationship. Even though they had been engaged, their physical intimacy had been limited to hand-holding and hugs at most. They hadn't even kissed, let alone gone further.

However, soon after their breakup, she began dating Daniel, who took her to the hospital.

But there was one perplexing aspect he couldn't figure out.

If Maisie's labor induction was indeed related to Daniel, they must have known each other for a long time. So why did she treat him like a stranger initially?

Puzzled, he suddenly remembered the man who had beaten him badly.

The man's name was Wesley Mebane he had identified himself as such during their fight. He even taunted Graham, saying, "You're worthless. Even your fiancee can be stolen by another. You can't even be called a man! Did Daniel steal her from you again, huh? Haha!"

'Again? What did he mean by again?' Graham wondered.

At that moment, a spark of realization flashed in Graham's mind. He quickly dialed his lawyer.

"Sir?" The Bayers' lawyer was surprised by the call. "Are you feeling better now?"

"I'm fine," Graham replied. "I need you to do something for me."

"What is it?"

"Bail... Wesley Mebane out!"

The lawyer was shocked, failing to respond immediately.

"Are you listening?!" Graham's voice grew more insistent.

"Sir..." The lawyer collected his thoughts. "That man assaulted you, and we have strong evidence. The hearing is scheduled in two days. We can definitely have him sent to prison! I'm confident we can secure a significant charge against him. He'll pay for this-"

"I don't want that!" Graham shouted into the phone. "I've changed my mind! I don't want to press charges. I want you to bail him out! I want to drop the lawsuit. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Although the lawyer was bewildered, he reluctantly agreed to Graham's request.

Within a few days, Wesley was released from the police station.

However, his destination was a restaurant.

He glanced at the sign guiltily. It was the same place where he had assaulted Graham while intoxicated.

Instinctively, he took a step back, but the men in black on either side forcibly pushed him into the restaurant. This treatment made him feel like an animal, unable to resist, and he was compelled to move forward.
