Chapter 167


    Albert and Madeline were on their way to Blue Sky Mental Hospital. Thetter had spent the entire


    drive reading over information on the hospital the former had supplied. Based on what she had


    gathered, the hospital was located in the northern suburbs of Imperia. Owing to the hospital''s sensitive


    nature, visits were strictly by appointment, even for visiting patients. Hence, it would not be possible for


    them to enter without reason and conduct the investigation.


    Coincidentally, the hospital had been receiving funding from the Charity Association since three years


    ago. Madeline finally found a reason to pay a visit to the hospital.


    "Albert, phone the hospital in your position as a Charity Association member," she instructed.


    "Okay, Ms. Grant."


    "I think we need a change of clothes," Madeline nced at Albert and said excitedly.


    The duo arrived at their destination half an hourter. Madeline was dressed in professional attire, her


    wavy hair neatly tied up in a bun. To perfect the look, she adorned ck spectacles and put on some


    light makeup.


    When she saw someone walking toward the hospital entrance, she turned off the car engine and


    hurried around to the other side to pull the door open for Albert.


    "We have arrived, Mr. Wright!" Madeline made a polite bow, ying the role of a well-trained


    subordinate.


    As Albert stepped out of his car, an aura of confidence and power radiated from him. He moved with


    purpose, his head held high and his eyes fixed on the horizon. The woman was secretly pleased with


    his ability to act the role well.

    "Wee, Mr. Wright! We have been waiting for your arrival!" A man greeted his guests with a hearty


    wee. He extended his hand, but Albert ignored the gesture. Despite the rejection, the man


    maintained his upbeat attitude. "I''m Elijah Jacot, Assistant CEO of Blue Sky Mental Hospital. It''s my


    honor to finally meet you in person, Mr. Wright. I''ve heard many wonderful stories about you."


    Albert nodded and replied casually, "Hello, Mr. Jacot. Why don''t we go inside and carry on the


    conversation?"


    "Allow me to show you the way, Mr. Wright." Elijah rxed slightly when his guest finally acknowledged


    his presence.


    I thought Mr. Wright would be a difficult man to deal with. However, he appears to be a neer to


    the scene. Experienced arrogant leaders would never call me "Mr. Jacot." No wonder the subordinate


    he has brought along is dressed so poorly. However, she does have a good figure.


    Madeline trailed Albert and sessfully entered Blue Sky Mental Hospital. During the drive here, she


    had roughly memorized the floor n. The administrative office was in the middle of the three main


    buildings, while the resource center and medical storage room were in the other two. All the patients


    and medical personnel were located in the center building. There were a total of seven floors. The first


    floor was the main hall, followed by five ward floors. The management executive and special care ward


    were located on the top floor.


    Based on the intel from James, someone had intentionally hidden Angie in Blue Sky Mental Hospital.


    Madeline deduced that she was likely to be in the special care ward.


    When Elijah led the two into the main hall, he said politely, "Mr. Wright, why don''t we take a break in my


    office? I''ve made ns for lunch. We''ll be able to go in half an hour." He could only make the lunch


    ns at thest minute because it was an unexpected visit. If he had his way, he would have Albert


    sent directly to the restaurant without having to enter the hospital. After all, he could not afford to make


    any mistakes in this critical period.


    "There''s no need for that, Mr. Jacot. Our chairman has charged me with researching the organizations


    that the charity supports. We are willing to increase our financing for organizations that have solid ideas


    butck the resources to put them into action. I''m running on a tight schedule, so lunch would not be


    necessary," Albert said solemnly as he followed Elijah into the elevator.


    Although Elijah was disappointed by the man''s rejection of lunch, his mood lifted when he learned


    about the possibility of more funds. "Mr. Wright, you are a man of responsibility andpetence. All


    these years, the hospital has been endeavoring to enrich the quality of life and realize a better society.


    I''m sure we would be able to do more if given additional funding."


    When Albert noticed Elijah going to hit the top floor elevator button, he replied, "The former director


    also praised the hospital. Could you please show me around? We must carry out our responsibilities."


    "Well…" Elijah mumbled.


    When Albert noticed his expression turned sour, he probed, "Is it inconvenient for us to tour around the


    hospital?"


    "Of course not, Mr. Wright. As you know, our patients are mentally-ill. I''m afraid…" Elijah said


    nervously.


    "This is just a routine practice. There''s no need to be concerned. Nobody needs the extra funds more


    than your hospital," Albert assured.


    Elijah was delighted to hear the good news. The Charity Association is made up of stupid loaded


    individuals. The majority of theme from upper-ss families in their respective nations. They are


    not only wealthy but also exceedingly generous. Over lunch three years ago, I persuaded the former


    director to donate 500 million dors to the hospital every year. Since the CEO of the hospital has gone


    missing, I call the shots around here. All the money is going into my pocket. It''s so easy to get rich!


    The man could not conceal his happiness as he thought of his evil n. He pressed the second-floor


    elevator button, figuring it would not hurt to show Albert around. The tour was going to be a breeze as


    every room was locked.


    Everyone went out of the elevator when it arrived at the destination. Elijah was so focused on pleasing


    Albert that he failed to notice Madeline had remained in the elevator. She pressed the top floor button


    after the doors had closed.


    Even though everything was going as nned, Madeline had the sense that something was wrong.


    However, considering how far they''de, there was no going back. The top priority was to find Angie.


    Madeline leaned against the elevator wall, putting herself hidden from the elevator''s surveince


    camera. She then took out her phone and configured the surveince camera to shut down three


    secondster. Next, she removed the button from her shirt and lightly tapped it. Her professional attire


    instantly morphed into the hospital''s nurse costume she had previously filmed.


    Ding!


    Madeline took off her sunsses and mask when the elevator door opened. She then checked the


    thermal indicator on her phone to make sure no one was nearby. When the coast was clear, the woman


    exited the elevator and made her way to the surveince camera. However, as soon as she stepped


    out, someone strangled her with golden threads.


    "We meet again, prettydy!"
