Chapter 208

suddenly received a call and stepped out of the room.At that, he and Nate were the only ones left in the hospital room.They had no common topics in the first place, and Nate couldn’t speak at the moment. In an instant, the hospital room plunged into such silence that even the sound of their breathing was clearly audible.Nevertheless, such a chilly atmosphere didn’t last long, for Xavier’s phone rang.It was an exceedingly important call.He initially didn’t want to take the call in front of Nate, but the caller was currently in a unique location where the signal was pretty poor.It wasn’t easy to get a phone call through, so he answered the call at once.“You’ve found her tracks? Where’s the exact location?” After uttering those two questions, he left the hospital room.As soon as he left, Nate, who was initially reclining sideways on the bed, promptly sat up.For some inexplicable reason, his instincts were screaming that the person Xavier spoke of on the phone was referring to Yulissa. He was convinced that the man was searching for Yulissa’s whereabouts. In other words, she’s still alive!That belief kept him going. Disregarding even the pain from his wound, he furtively got out of bed and followed Xavier.After Xavier and Nate had both left, Winnie arrived at the hospital room.To her confusion, the hospital room was empty, not a single soul there.Nate, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, was no longer there. Neither was Xavier.She took out her phone, planning to ask Xavier for his current location. Only then did she see the text he sent her a while ago.Immediately, she gave Xavier a call. Unfortunately, his line was busy.She found it boring to stay in the empty hospital room alone, so she went in the direction of the surveillance room.More than familiar with that private hospital belonging to Josiah’s family, she arrived at the surveillance room in no time.When she arrived, Beatrice and Kevin were looking over the earlier surveillance footage in front of Nate’s hospital room.The moment they caught sight of her, they all greeted each other politely.Thereafter, Beatrice and Kevin continued scrutinizing the surveillance footage.After replaying it once, Kevin pointed at a figure on the screen and declared, “This was the woman. When I opened the door and stepped out, she had already gone a distance away. She was acting all suspicious and ran off even faster than a rabbit.”Beatrice’s brows creased as she studied the woman in the frame. “Who is she? Do you know her?”Kevin shook his head. “No. I’ve never seen her before.”Winnie, on the other hand, recognized the woman. “That’s Yolanda Xander. I think she specifically went to visit Nate.”Hearing that, Beatrice exclaimed, “Ah, so she’s Yolanda! I thought it was someone with nefarious motives. Since it’s her, there’s no need to investigate further. I think we should just head back.”Indicating his agreement, Kevin made to leave with her.However, Winnie showed no signs of doing the same.It was a massive hospital, so there were a few hundred surveillance cameras in operation. Right then, she was staring at some other place’s surveillance footage.Upon seeing that she was still standing there without budging, Beatrice couldn’t help turning around and inquiring, “Are you not leaving, Winnie? What are you looking at?”Winnie frowned, for she had then spotted the image she wanted to see.Lifting her finger, she pointed at one of the screens. “Look at that.”Beatrice cast her gaze in the direction of Winnie’s finger, only to see her nephew, Xavier, making a call.With a door separating them, her son, who still had a tube in his neck and his arm in a cast, was eavesdropping on her nephew’s conversation.And in a corner behind him stood Yolanda.“What?” Beatrice gaped at her younger son in the surveillance footage before shifting her gaze to her elder son beside her. “Is your brother sick of living? He still dares to get out of bed in such a condition! Go and drag him back to the
