A Relentless Pursuit for Love

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Jace left the apartment. It was only after he felt the cold breeze on his face did he feel a sense of relief.

Zayne opened the car door, stepped aside, and waited for Jace to get into the car. Jace, however, stopped and turned to Zayne. “Have you gotten anything on Sage Luz’s whereabouts?” he asked.

“Not yet…”

Jace hissed, “How useless can you get!”

Zayne’s head was hung low. He had never felt this defeated before.

He knew that Jace hated excuses, but he bit the bullet and continued, “It is as if someone had intentionally removed all traces of Miss Luz so that we won’t be able to find her. Plus, the skills of our hackers are not as good as theirs.”

Jace’s gaze darkened as he wondered who would want to hide Sage’s whereabouts.

“Who are you exactly, Sage Luz?” wondered Jace.

After getting into the car, Zayne passed the information he had received from the hospital to Jace. “I’ve spoken to the people at the hospital, and there are two things that I find suspicious.”

“Go on,” said Jace while flipping through the document.

“First, Miss Luz’s name is not on the list of the nurses working in city hospital. However, I did conduct a background check, as per your instructions, and her name is clearly there on the list from three years ago.”

He handed the list he had acquired from the hospital and the list that contained the information from three years ago to Jace. Going through the lists, he discovered that only on one of the lists was Sage’s name to be found.

Jace paused and asked, “Was she a non-staff personnel?”

Zayne replied, “It could be that she was hired last-minute to fill in for someone. I’ve been talking to the nurses on the lists for the past few days and most of them had no impression of her, or they remembered a little of Miss Luz. They only remembered that she got really lucky.”

Jace looked up from the documents and said, “Lucky?”

Zayne cleared his throat before replying, “She got married to you.”
