Chapter 119


    When Summer heard the name Mirabe, her eyes instinctively narrowed, and she casually asked,


    “Didn’t she know Grandma was hospitalized? Why would she go to the apartment? Was she there to


    pick something up?”


    Mandy shook her head. “It wasn’t to pick up anything. The caregiver said she only asked if your


    grandmother was at home, and when she heard she wasn’t, she left.”


    With a puzzled look crossing her face, Summer said, “What could she possibly want then?”


    After a moment’s thought, Summer suggested, “Mom, this seems a bit odd. Maybe we should give


    Grandma a call to see what’s up?”


    “That makes sense,” Mandy agreed, thumbing through her contacts to find Catherine’s number and


    dialed.


    Quickly, Mandy frowned and ended the call. “Her phone is turned off.”


    “Turned off? What happened?” Summer said. Her concern was apparent.


    Mandy’s eyelid twitched as she stood. “I’ll call the hospital.” She walked over to a cab,


    rummaged through it, and pulled out a business card with the doctor’s number. Without hesitation, she


    dialed.

    “Hello… What? My mother has been discharged?” Mandy’s face was a picture of shock.


    Summer, now standing beside Mandy, asked anxiously, “Grandma was discharged? She didn’t tell


    you?”

    Mandy’s mind was buzzing. “No, I was so flustered by our argumentst night, and I didn’t visit the


    hospital today.”


    Summer’s expression grew serious. “Why would Grandma leave without saying a word? She’s a


    stranger in town. She doesn’t know anything, and didn’t return to the apartment. Where could she have


    gone?”


    Pressing her temples, Mandy suddenly had a dark thought and said through gritted teeth. “You’re right.


    Your grandmother knew nothing at all. She wouldn’t know how to discharge herself without help.”


    After a brief pause, she added, “It has to be Mirabe who took your grandmother. Besides her, who


    else?”


    Summer lowered her gaze, and then shook her head. “That can’t be right. Didn’t you just say the


    caregiver mentioned she was looking for Grandma too?”


    Mandy scoffed, “It’s all an act, and you believe that?”


    “But…” Summer tried to interject, only to be cut off by Mandy, “Enough, don’t be so stupid. I don’t want


    to hear my daughter making excuses for an outsider.”

    With those words, Mandy grabbed her phone, dialed Mirabe’s number with a look of anger.


    After descending the stairs, Mirabe didn’t immediately leave Catherine’s neighborhood. Instead, she


    found a bench in themunity garden and sat down. Catherine’s phone was still unreachable.


    The caregiver’s reaction didn’t seem fake. Mirabe knew Mandy well, and the odds of her whisking


    Catherine away were slim. The only thing Mirabe could be certain of was that Catherine left of her


    own volition.


    Massaging her temples, Mirabe took out her phone, pondering deeply before tapping on an app with


    an unfamiliar icon, about to log in when an unknown number called.


    Mirabe paused, then quickly answered. “Hello… Sure, I’ll be there in twenty minutes. Thanks.”


    After hanging up, she stood up, but her phone rang again. Without hesitation, she dismissed the call.


    Then, slipping the phone into her pocket, she quickly walked out of the neighborhood.
