Chapter 32

Author: Harlow
Jessica’s smiling face disappeared in an instant. She watched as Chris laid out the food on the table and poured water for her, gentle and attentive as always.

If she hadn’t already known that Chris had the day off, she might have thought he had made a special effort for her.

The two sat in silence, facing each other. Chris didn’t have much of an appetite and put down his cutlery after only a few bites. Jessica, on the other hand, ate a little more.

When she got to the roast pork, she suddenly paused and looked up at Chris.

“Did you make this yourself?” she asked.

Chris didn’t respond.

Jessica suddenly became angry and slammed her cutlery on the table. “Chris, is it really that hard for you to cook a meal for me? We agreed on this yesterday—yet you still went out and bought it?”

For a moment, Chris was surprised that she could tell.

Seeing his confusion, Jessica pointed at the roast pork. “You always add an extra spice when you cook this dish. One bite and I knew it wasn’t your

    Patients who stayed in Room 316 usually needed to stay for a long time.Last time, Mandy was there due to a car accident.This time, it was an elderly person admitted for a heart condition, waiting for a suitable heart transplant.The patient's family members were all very understanding.Francesca said they needed to add an air purifier to the room, which would be good for the patient's health.Before that, they had to clean the room first.Since the weather was nice, the family took the patient outside to get some sun.After successfully emptying the room, Roy also came up from downstairs."Let’s get a move on."Roy led a group of people, all in plain clothes, and quickly entered Room 316.Francesca locked the door from the inside and quietly told Roy, "Neither Ms. Wilder nor Mr. Green are completely certain, it's just a possibility."Roy stood by the window and could still see the patient's figure.He said, "As long as there's even a slight chance, we have to try."The s

    "Tut tut tut, you know, these women all had a hint of Jessica in them."Indya sat behind the computer for a while, then walked around to the outside of the desk."Men, if they can't have you, they find a substitute. Who do they think they are? Casanovas?"Jessica's expression didn't change.She even leisurely sipped her coffee while commenting on Michael's current physical condition."Gotta say, Michael looks a lot older than a few years ago."The image was just too much; Jessica really didn't want to watch anymore and turned off the screen."Captain Felton said the kidnapper still hadn't called a second time. They only had one demand, but every hour they sent a video to Mandy's parents to prove she was still alive."It seemed the hard drive was very important."Actually, I think there's a simpler way to find out what's on the hard drive," said Indya.Jessica cocked her brows and looked at Indya.Indya said, "Don't forget, Helen is still in the country. She also has leverage

    Ashley sat beside Jake, watching his little habit.He was several years older than Jake, and now saw him more like a younger brother.Seeing Jake picking out all the onions he didn't like to eat, he couldn't help but feel a bit helpless."Dr. Baker, how did you even get through medical school? As a doctor, how can you be such a picky eater?"Jake’s full name was Jake Baker."That’s in class, but when it comes to food I don't like, I won't go against my nature. Anyway, let's not talk about that—I have surgery this afternoon."The group quickly finished eating.Jake hurried off in a rush.Seeing that Chris remained silent, Ashley took out a cigarette and handed it to him.Chris hesitated for a few seconds, but took it eventually.In fact, he did smoke, but rarely, due to professional habits.Plus, since he always stopped Jessica from smoking, he had to set an example at home.So his smoking frequency was extremely low.But today really had been mentally exhausting."Do you

    This wasn't a bad idea.After all, Megan had been threatened, and Roy also wanted to find a way to balance things out.He nodded and followed Chris's lead, saying, "Listen to your chairman. You can go for now. Don't tell anyone about today's conversation, not even the Dr. Wood you mentioned. Do your best to stay hidden. If the culprit contacts you, call me."He didn't have business cards, so he tore off a piece of paper from the desk and quickly wrote down his name and phone number, handing it to Megan."Find a way to call me. I'll make sure your child is safe. Starting tomorrow, I'll arrange for someone to keep watch near your child's school.""Okay, okay, thank you, thank you so much."Megan's eyes were still red.Everything that needed to be asked had been.Megan stood up and left.Outside, Francesca opened the door for her, and only after she left did Chris call Francesca inside."What do you know about Dr. Wood, from Cardiology?"Francesca quickly recalled Hector's prof

    Megan wasn’t crying anymore.Hearing Roy's question, she sighed and said, "Yes. But this time, the other party didn't ask me to take any specific medication, nor was there a prescription signed by a doctor. They just told me to keep an eye on Room 316 and observe if any problems might come up."But Room 316 was just a car accident case.After waking up, there was basically no chance the patient would have issues related to medication, so Megan never found an opportunity.Every time she passed by Room 316, she could see a group of people inside.Mandy was a young girl, and she looked well-educated.After waking up, she had her family bring her a computer to the hospital and kept working from her bed every day.In fact, Megan didn't know who the perpetrator was, nor why he had targeted this group of people.Based on the previous incidents where she had provided medication, it always involved elderly patients.She didn't know what the young girl had done to offend him."You're s

    For reasons she couldn't explain, Megan actually did open the album, and what she saw scared her so much she dropped the phone on the floor.Inside were photos of her son.Megan looked at Chris—he was the one she trusted most right now."The clothes in the photo were what my son wore this morning. It was a picture of him eating at school. The time must've been around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Which means the person probably took the photo and came straight to the hospital afterward."After seeing the photos, Megan was completely stunned and frozen on the spot, not knowing what to do.She stood there dazed for a long time until the phone rang again.This time, Megan answered immediately.It was still the same man on the line."Find a quiet place. We need to talk properly. If you want your son to stay safe, you'd better do as I say."Megan didn't doubt him for a second and quickly went into the pharmacy."I went to the pharmacy's lounge. At that time, I was the only one there—ev
