Chapter 2141

In the dead of night, the hospital corridor was silent. There was only a lone nurse on duty at the front desk, her head nodding as she struggled to stay awake.

The surveillance cameras in the corridor flickered with red lights at that moment, indicating a loose

connection.

A man wearing a white coat and a mask, looking like a doctor, swiftly passed by the front desk and headed straight for Mrs. Hopkins' room.
