    Dorothy felt a chill of apprehension, so she didn’t wander far. Instead, she chose a nearby bench to sit


    on


    The call connected, and the driver’s voice sounded on the other end.


    “Sorry to bother you sote”


    “No problem. Where are you now?” Dorothy lowered her voice, not wanting to disturb the other hospital


    patients.


    I’m near Tranquil Road. I cant seem to hail a cab, and I’m trying to get back to my hotel,” Dorothy


    searched for the hotel on her map app, then carefully exined how to get there The man on the other


    end listened in silence until she asked, “Did you get all that?” “Mmm, I’m listening


    Ime up on WhatsApp or try to make it to the main street. There should be cabs there.”


    “That’s about it. If you still can’t find your way hit r


    “Alright”


    Dorothy nced at the time on her wristwatch and murmured. Since you’re in Haverbrook City should I


    deliver the receipt to you tomorrow


    “No need.” The driver responded without hesitation. I ask you if I need it


    Dorothy was a bit puzzled


    Previously, she had deleted his contact, but he added her back just to get this receipt.


    But now, when she repeatedly offered to give him the receipt, he seemed to be avoiding it. He didn’t


    show ap


    pressing need for the receipt.


    “Thank you”


    “No need.”


    Without any further fuss, the call


    Dorothy’s mind was still in a whirl, so she didnt continue to dwell on it.


    She got up from the bench, intending to head back to the ward, when suddenly, Dorothy heard


    something being kicked behind her.

    What could it be at this time of night?


    Feeling a bit frightened, she quickened her pace


    But she had only taken a few steps when she bumped into a solid chest.


    Startled, Dorothy looked up.


    It was Emmett.


    “Ma. Sanchez, what’s wrong?”


    “Nothing “Seeing Emmett brought a sense of relief to her. “It’s a bit spooky in the hospital at night. What


    about you? Did something happen? Is Nat


    “No. She’s sleeping soundly and the doctor removed her IV. I noticed you hadn’te back, and I was


    worried something had happened.” Emmett stood next to Dorothy as his tall figure cast arge shadow


    over her.


    “Just chatting with a friend.” Dorothy smiled. “Since she’s had her Vermoved, can we go now?”


    Emmett nodded. “Sure! 111e back to check on her in the morning. You can go on with your work,


    Ms. Sanchez.”


    Dorothy agreed.


    After all, she wasn’t here on vacation. She couldn’t keep putting her job on hold. If Lane became upset,


    it wouldn’t be good for their careers.


    As their figures receded into the distance, a man emerged from the corner of the corridor.


    Everett squinted. The displeasure in his eyes was clear.


    Why were there so many pecky men around Dolphy?


    He took out his phone and dialed Kevin’s number.


    “Find out what projects East Star Enterprises has in Havenbrook City”


    “Yes, Mr. Lopez. Are you in Haverbrook City now?”


    “Yeah”


    “Would you like me to arrange anything for you? The presidential suite at the Crimson Hotel is always


    avable for you.”


    “No need.” Everett’s lips moved slightly, and his deep voice echoed. “Just investigate what I asked.


    Investigate this man as well”


    With a flick of his slender finger, he sent over a picture of Emmett he had snapped earlier


    “Alright, Mr. Lopez get right on it?
