Jeremy raised his sharp eyes. “Who’s calling?” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Corinne felt that Jeremy seemed to have missed the point, so she stuffed the phone into his hand. “Hurry up! Don’t let anything happen to her!”
Jeremy narrowed his eyes, gazed deeply at her, then placed the phone to his ear.
After hearing the call for help, his calm face tensed up
suddenly as he stood up and asked in a deep voice, “Where are you? Stay there and don’t go anywhere! I’ll be there right away!”
After ending the call, Jeremy hurried to leave but stopped suddenly and stared at Corinne.
Corinne shrugged indifferently. “Go ahead. I’ll be fine on my own!”
The man had mixed emotions as he frowned and said, “Be good. I’ll be back soon.” He then rushed off.
Corinne froze for a moment, feeling as though she had been transported all those years ago when her mother said the same thing to her at the hospital. “Be good. I’ll be back soon.”
Sadly, her mother never came back.
An hour passed, and after Corinne finished her cake, she scrolled through several short videos on her phone for some time. Jeremy, who said he would be back soon, still had not.
returned yet.
‘Did something happen? I don’t know which ward Anya is in…‘
Corinne slept too much during the day and could not fall
asleep anymore, so after some thought, she got up and left her ward with plans to go out and look for him. She was on the VIP floor of the hospital’s inpatient department, where each patient was housed in a high–quality ward. The environment there was relatively quiet, and most people were already resting because it was getting late.
There was no one in the corridor, so Corinne walked slowly toward the nurse’s station to try and find out which room Anya was in. Before she could reach one of the stations, however, she saw from a distance the presence of police officers checking the surveillance in the nurse’s station. They seemed to have made a copy of the video they needed, and they came out of the nurse station, and a doctor who seemed to be in a relatively high position in the hospital hierarchy sent the police to the elevator entrance.
The police waved their hands and said, “Don’t worry about it. There’s no need to send us off. We appreciate your hospital’s cooperation with the investigation today.”
The doctor replied politely, “It’s our duty! You’ve all worked hard to address our issue at such a late hour!”
“Our duty is to serve the people!” the police said before leaving.
Corinne heard several nurses in the nurse’s station discussing among themselves.
“That was scary! I didn’t expect a pervert to show up in our hospital!”
“Perverts exist everywhere. We should all be more careful in the future!”
“This particular sicko is brave enough to stalk Miss Anya from room three–o–two! Who does he think he is, trying to stalk someone like Anya?”
“People like him should be chemically castrated after getting caught!”
“By the way, I just went to take Miss Anya’s temperature, and I noticed that her little face turned pale with fright. She hasn’t recovered yet, and she’s still crying pitifully in her boyfriend’s arms!”
“Is her boyfriend handsome? He’s the one who spent a huge sum of money for Century Bank’s LED advertisement by Yonder River last night just so he can express his love to Miss Anya all the time, right?”
“He’s not just handsome… He’s super handsome! He’s even more handsome than any movie star! I wouldn’t even dare to steal another glance at him or else my legs will turn weak…”
“Why would your legs turn weak? Are you craving a man’s touch?”
