Chapter 70 Sophia Died

Idris cast a cold glance at him and indifferently said, "If you can be here, Mr. Sanchez, why can't I?"

Maxwell fell silent.

The atmosphere turned a bit awkward. Climbing over the wall now seemed utterly out of the question.

The doctors who had been standing there, realizing they were in the company of acquaintances, did not ask any further questions and left.

Only a middle-aged doctor remained, who I then learned was the head of the hospital.

Upon hearing that we had climbed over the wall to look for someone, he was somewhat bemused and said to me, "Mrs. Young, if you wanted to visit and look for someone, you could've just informed me. Clim seem like some sort of crime scene."

I smiled awkwardly, thinking that if I had known I could enter with Idris' connections, I certainly would not have chosen to climb the wall.

I did not delve into that and just smiled.

Idris glanced at me and then asked Director Johnson, 'Director Johnson, can we

and see all the patients here?"

Knowing our purpose, Director Johnson nodded and led us up to the psychiatric ward.

Since I had overheard a noise earlier, I headed straight for that floor upon entering the building.

When I found the room where I had heard the voices from, I looked at Director Johnson and asked, "Director, could you open the door of the ward?"

Director Johnson looked at me and then at Idris, and said, "Mr. Young, Mrs. Young, most of the patients on this floor are severely mentally ill. They might harm outsiders if they have an episode. For your safety, After hearing this, I pursed my I*ps, fell silent for

a moment, then nodded, not saying much more. I peered through the small window in the ward door and saw a small bed, some basic toiletries, and a change of clothes inside.

The person lying there was motionless, and I could not tell if they were asleep.

Seeing this, I called out uncertainly, "Sophia?"

Vile The

person inside was covered with a blanket and made no movement. Their features were indistinct. I called out several times, but there was no response. I could not tell if they were asleep or if something had ha I turned back to Director Johnson, who seem startled as well. Fearing something had gone wrong, he ordered someone to open the door. Upon entering, and after the blanket was removed, I realized the perso Seeing this, Director Johnson was also taken aback. He hurriedly checked on Sophia, but he stiffened as he reached out to feel her breathing.

His reaction made my heart skip a beat..

Then, Director Johnson said with a trembling voice, "She's not breathing!

"What?" Maxwell was surprised, and he incredulously checked Sophia's pulse. Finding no sign of it, he frowned and looked at Director Johnson. "What's going on here? She was fine earlier, and now she's sud Director Johnson was also confused and hurriedly said, "She was fine this morning. I don't know what happened!"

As he spoke, he quickly took out his phone to contact the doctor and nurse in charge of this floor. Idris, who had been silent until then, observed Sophia for a moment with a slightly furrowed brow. Chapter 70 Sophia Died

Seeing his reaction, I asked, "What's wrong?"

"She must've taken something," Idris sald.

Maxwell rolled his eyes at him. "Isn't that obvious? She's vomited so much foam; she must've ingested something she shouldn't have.'

Idris raised an eyebrow but did not argue further.

A moment later.

"Director, what's wrong? What happened?" The doctor in charge of the floor arrived quickly, panting as he asked Director Johnson. He seemed to have run here.

Director Johnson pointed at Sophia who was no longer breathing, and angrily said to the doctor, "What happened here? She was fine, and now she's suddenly gone. You better give me an explanation!" After confirming Sophia's death, the doctor turned somewhat pale and said to Director Johnson, "Director, I don't know about this either. When I checked on her two hours ago, she was fine."

"Doctor Miller!" I called out to the doctor and then looked at the number on Sophia's hospital gown-030.

Two hours ago, when I secretly climbed over the wall, I saw him downstairs. At that time, it seemed I had overheard something I should not have.

The conversation between this Doctor Miller and another doctor had mentioned Patient 030-it was about Sophia!

Upon hearing my voice, the doctor looked at me. He was a bit puzzled and asked, "Who are you?"

"You don't know me!" I said, turning to Director Johnson. "Director, since she suddenly died without any apparent reason, we'd better call the police right away!"
