After Sophia was rushed into the emergency room, the drenched man walked into the corridor and made a call using the payphone with his back toward the surveillance camera.

Gemma immediately looked into the payphone’s call log based on the time of the phone call. After that, she managed to confirm the phone number he had dialed and its location.

Shortly after making that phone call, somebody came to pick the man up. The man entered Sophia’s ward and stayed inside for a few minutes. After that, he left the hospital without ever coming back.

The man had his back toward the surveillance camera the whole time.

Sophia, who also stared round-eyed at the screen, recognized the man from behind. She couldn’t be mistaken about it—the man was none other than the person who had saved her life!

Why would Michael investigate this incident all of a sudden?

The room was momentarily silent except for the sound of Gemma tapping her fingers on the keyboard as she searched for more information.

Michael frowned as he asked Sophia again, “Do you still remember how the man looked like?”

Sophia shook her head. “It was too dark that day, and there were no lights on the island; I really couldn’t see his face. I heard from a nurse in the hospital afterward that the man was strikingly handsome.”

When she regained consciousness back then, the nurse who had looked after her said, “Huh? Was the guy from yesterday your boyfriend? He is both very handsome and very tall! Not only does he have long legs and look handsome, he also has a pair of attractive eyes!”

 

However, she was too embarrassed to repeat what the nurse had said back then.

Michael asked after that, “Did he say something weird to you? Has he ever looked for you over these years?”

 

Sophia shook her head again. “He left before I regained consciousness,” she explained.

After that, however, she produced a stack of neatly-folded receipts from her Pikachu-themed pajamas’ pocket and added, “These are the bills that he signed back then.”

She had been keeping these receipts over the years in case she met the man again. After all, the man had saved her life.

Gemma immediately took the bills from her and saw the name ‘Dylan Lee’ written on them in an illegible and distorted manner.
