Chapter 121 Let’s Get Divorced, Nicholas (2)

The hospital room was empty. There was no one around to answer his calls.

“Nancy! Nancy…” Nicholas shouted again and again, but the only response he received was unending silence..

He panicked. Then, he frantically ran to the nurse’s station with the flowers in his arms. “Hi, where’s the patient from room 106?”

The nurse checked the records and asked, “Do you mean Ms. Cohen, Mr. Sallow?”

“Yes. That’s her. Where is she?”

“Ms. Cohen was discharged earlier. She’s gone now.”

“Come again?” He could not believe his ears.

For the past few days, he had stayed by her side every single day. In the first two days, she had stubbornly given him the cold shoulder. Then, in the last few days, she changed.

She no longer rejected the things he bought for her. When he talked to her, she would respond. The day before, she was even smiling more than before.

All those changes had led him to drop his guard, thinking she was slowly recovering.

Now that he thought about it, she had never gotten past that trauma. All of her changes and responses were faked for him to see so he would be less wary.

He pulled out his phone and called Lynn. “Search the entire city for Nancy.”

“Right away, Mr. Sallow.”

There was no doubt about the Sallow Group’s efficiency. So, Lynn had an answer for him within 10 minutes. “Ms. Nancy booked a room at a hotel, Mr. Sallow. I’ll send you the address right now.”

Hence, Nicholas rushed over to the hotel with the address in hand.
