Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Ryan didn’t deny it. Then he showed her a few screenshots of the surveillance footage.

Seeing the screenshots, Anna was taken aback and felt a shiver running down her spine. “What’s wrong with them?” she asked.

“He was too far away from the surveillance, and it was late at night, so the shots were blurry. Later that night, | watched every surveillance video of the hospital. | finally found him on surveillance video in front of the first-floor bathroom.”

The last picture was not from the footage she had found. However, this made her feel extremely uncomfortable and shocked her. A few seconds later, she said in surprise, “They both have the same tattoo!”

Ryan nodded.

In the screenshot, Anna saw a man in a mask and a cap. He’d just gotten out of the bathroom and was kneeling on the floor, tying his shoes. And Anna could see the tattoo on the back of his neck in that image. Anna was correct in her suspicions. But when she was confronted with all of this evidence, she became overwhelmed.

Ryan noticed that Anna was becoming increasingly frustrated. He lowered his gaze and pursed his lips as if thinking about something. “Actually, there’s one more thing,” he said after a long pause.

Anna felt the world shake in front of her and began to sweat. “Go on,” she said, despite feeling pain in her abdomen.

Although the image was blurry, Anna recognized the tattoo on the back of the neck of the man who happened to have his head down. It was the exact same tattoo.
