    Josiah didn’t return that night, so Winnie brought the stuff he wanted to the hospital instead.Thinking


    Josiah probably hadn’t eaten, she bought two sets of breakfast on the way there.While making her way


    to Josiah’s office, Winnie overheard a conversation between a few nurses when she walked past the


    nurses’ station on the eighth floor.“Isn’t Dr. Houghton working a little too hard? He has been working


    overtime for three days in a row! He went home reallytest night and came in early this morning! I


    don’t think he managed to get any sleep at all!”“I know, right? I don’t know why he’s working so hard


    when he’s already so rich! If I were him, I’d just kick back and rx every day!”Winnie paused in her


    tracks when she heard them mention Josiah.One of the nurses noticed her sudden pause and asked,


    “What brings you here, Ms. Gand? Is there something you need help with?”Winnie shed her a


    smile and replied, “Oh, nothing. I just came to see Dr. Houghton.”Halfway through her sentence, Winnie


    noticed someone who looked a lot like Greta walking past the corridor.She then quickly ced the food


    on the counter and told the nurse, “This breakfast is for Dr. Houghton. Please bring it to him.”Before the


    nurse could even respond, Winnie turned around and ran after the person she had seen earlier.After a


    brief pause, the nurse brought the food over to Josiah’s office.Josiah was changing and had just


    removed his white coat when the nurse came in through the door.“What is it?” he asked when he saw


    the stic bag in her hand.The nurse ced the food on his desk and said, “It’s breakfast. You haven’t


    eaten, right, Dr. Houghton?”Josiah turned her offer down without any hesitation. “Thanks, but I’m about


    to head out now. Please take the food away.”“But this is from Ms. Gand. I don’t think I should be


    taking it away,” the nurse said.Josiah instinctively nced outside his door when he heard that. “Ms.


    Gand? As in, Winnie Gand?”“Yes, that’s right.”Josiah got to his feet and asked, “Where is she,


    then? Why would she have you deliver the food instead?”“I don’t know. I’m guessing she saw someone


    she knew. We were having a conversation when she suddenly turned around and ran after that


    person,” the nurse replied with a shrug.“Who was it?”The nurse shook her head. “Ms. Gand didn’t


    say, so I’m not sure who it was. She just asked me to bring you this food. So, will you be eating it, Dr.


    Houghton?”“What do you think?” Josiah then motioned for the nurse to leave as he gave Winnie a


    call.However, the call got declined after the first ring.Worried that something might have happened to


    Winnie, he immediately gave her another call, only to have it declined again.Suddenly, there was a


    knock on the door. “I’m here, so you can stop calling now.”“The nurse told me you ran after someone


    you knew. Who were you running after?” Josiah asked with a frown while putting his phone


    away.Winnie shut the door behind her immediately after entering the office. “I saw someone who


    looked a lot like Greta, but she was gone by the time I ran after her. Could you help me check the


    surveince footage? I really want to find her.”“Sure thing!” Josiah knew she was searching for Greta,


    so he agreed to her request and brought her to the security room.While checking the surveince


    camera footage, they realized that the person who looked like Greta seemed to know the ce well.


    Not only did she avoid all the surveince cameras in the hospital, but she also went straight to their


    blind spots upon getting to the parking lot.It wasn’t until they checked the footage from a few hours ago


    that they saw her visiting a patient in ward 801. Winnie and Josiah then rushed over to ward 801, which


    turned out to be upied by an old man in his seventies.He was diagnosed with a malignant tumor


    and had undergone surgery two weeks ago. The surgery went rather smoothly, and the old man was in


    the process of recovering from it.Seeing as the old man was doing quite well, Josiah decided to have a


    little chat with him.“Hello, sir. I’m a doctor at this hospital. Was that person who visited you earlier a


    family member of yours?” he asked.Despite his old age, the patient was alert and on guard.“Are you


    sure you’re a doctor? Why aren’t you wearing your white coat, then? What are you up to? Are you


    trying to con me of my life savings?”Josiah didn’t know whether tough or cry when he heard that. “I’m


    not trying to con you, sir. I really am a doctor here, and I don’t have my coat on because I ended my


    shift a while ago. Since I had noticed a stranger entering your ward earlier, I figured I’d drop by to


    ensure everything is okay.”“What stranger? You’re the stranger here! Get out now, or I’ll scream for


    help!” the old man yelled.Winnie quickly pulled up Greta’s picture on her phone and showed it to the old


    man.“Sir, could you have a look at this picture and see if you recognize this person? She’s an old friend


    of mine, but I lost contact with her a long time ago. Another friend of hers is also looking for her.”The


    old man’s expression changed the moment he saw the picture.“No, I don’t know her at all! I don’t even


    know you, so why would you be asking me about your friend? You two had better get out of my ward


    right now, or I’ll press the bell and have security escort you both out!”“All right, we’ll leave right away.


    Please calm down, sir,” Josiah reassured the old man while gesturing at Winnie.The two of them then


    quickly stepped out of the ward.“We have his registration information here at the hospital. I’ll get it for


    you in a bit. You have people searching for Greta, right? You can just pass it to them,” Josiah said.“All


    right.” Winnie frowned. “Did you see the look in that old man’s eyes when he saw the picture? There’s


    definitely something off about him.”Josiah nodded. “We’ll look into it. By the way, did you get the thing I


    asked forst night?”“Yeah, I did. Here you go.” Winnie spoke while handing him a clear stic bag


    containing a few strands of Jacinta’s hair.Josiah nced briefly at it before shoving it into his


    pocket.“Let’s go see Old Mr. Fairchild and get some of his hair as well. After that, we’ll try to obtain


    some hair from Stuart and carry out the DNA test. We’ll only be able to confirm our theories once the


    results are out.”Winnie nodded. “Sure thing. Let’s go.”“Wait, I need to make a trip back to my


    office.”“Why?”Josiah waved the stic bag in his hand. “I need to store this in the safe. You can wait


    for me at the elevator.”He then ran off after saying that, only to return a few minutester with the


    breakfast that Winnie had bought him.“Thanks,” Josiah said while pointing at the food.Winnie shed


    him a smile as she recalled how he had helped her and Xavier out. “Don’t mention it. I bought it to


    thank you anyway.”“How about you do me a favor instead?”“What would you like me to do?”“You can


    y the role of the driver while I eat this and take a short nap.”Winnie agreed to it without a second


    thought.Halfway through the drive, however, she mmed the brakes and brought the car to a sudden


    halt.Josiah was caught off guard and nearly had the entire sandwich shoved into his mouth. “What


    happened?”“Stuart just sent my granny a text message…” Winnie replied with a frown.
