At the safe passgae of the hospotal.

Someone rolled down the stairs. With a few sounds of bang, he hit the corner of the stairs andstopped...

Chandler was in the pediatrics ward and heard a noise outside the door.

He turned his head and looked out of the door.

"Help! Someone fell down the stairs and bled." The shouting came from the corridor.

The doctors and nurses rushed over as they heard this. The people in the corridor were in a hurry.Some of them were curious and gathered to watch at the exit of the passage.

Chandler suddenly felt a little uneasy. He seemed to want to see what happened.

But Erica held his hand... "Geoffrey just had his appendix operation. He hasn't woken up yet. Don'tleave. He must want to see you as he wakes up.”

Chandler hesitated for a second and looked at Geoffrey who was still in a coma. Indeed, as theguardian of Geoffrey, he must wait here at this moment.

Chandler nodded to Erica.

He casually shook off her hand, then sat down beside Geoffrey's bed.

The noise in the corridor still lasted. Somehow, Chandler was in a mood of uneasy.

Erica also noticed his uneasiness. She walked to the door and closed it to stop the sound fromcoming in. The room became quiet soon.

Chandler took out his phone and dialed a number.

The call didn't receive an answer, "The number you have dialed is not answered..."

With a sound of beep, it was hung up automatically.

Chandler frowned with confusion. Why didn't Crystal answer his phone?

Only then did he remember that he was too worried about Geoffrey's operation that he forgot totell her as he went down stairs.

"... Crystal is not that stingy."

It was impossible for her to refuse his phone just because of such a small matter.

Chandler did not give up and continued to call her number, but the result was the same. No oneanswered.

Erica stood quietly beside him and watched he dialing the same number. "Is Crystal angry that youcame to accompany Geoffrey?"

She knew best about women's temper.

"... I can go upstairs and explain to her.”

Erica spoke in a direct and generous way. She really regretted allowing Geoffrey to eat too much icecream, which suddenly caused his appendicitis. Now she hoped that Chandler could accompanyGeoffrey. Indeed, she was a little selfish at this moment. But she thought she just kept a sense ofproportion about these. After all, Crystal was an adult, while Geoffrey was just a child.

"No, thanks.”

Chandler didn't want to cause the embarrassment between Erica and Crystal.

Here is the hospital. With the care of doctors and nurses, Crystal will be fine. Maybe she just feltjealous and didn't want to answer the phone.

Outside the hospital.

Lucy drove her brilliant red Ferrari, together with Christina, followed the trail of Brianna. Finally, theyfound Brianna at the covert alley outside the hospital.

Before the car stopped, Christina couldn't wait to get out of the car, and run over.

"... What do you want to do? Why do you come here again?"

Christina was furious and questioned Brianna, who was huddled on the ground.

Lucy parked the car and immediately ran over too.

"... She seems to be weird." Lucy was more rational. She noticed that Brianna was sitting in a cornerwith his head down. She seemed to be trembling in horror.

Christina got much angrier. "She's just pretending! She could almost win an Oscar. She was soarrogant when she spoke to me this morning.”

"Brianna, I follow you all the way. Tell me, what did you do this time?" Christina blustered.Christina thought of the strange words Brianna said to her at noon in Western Garden, "My brotherdoesn't like you to contact Crystal. Why aren't you obedient? "

She felt a growing unease.

"Brianna, are you a mute? I'm talking to you!"

Christina didn't receive answer, which made her angry and anxious.

Brianna still huddled in the corner of the alley with her head buried in between her knees. Sheleaned against the dirty, moldy wall and soiled her clothes.

She seemed to turn a deaf ear to all the sounds outside, hiding here frightenedly as her body wasstill trembling.

Christina lost her patience and strode forward to pull her up.

"Brianna Hopkins!" She shouted furiously.

Brianna seemed to get awake in an instant. She stared at Christina for a few seconds with her emptyeyes. It seemed that after recognizing the person in front of her that she called Christina in a lowvoice.

Christina got frozen when she heard this.

It was as if her rage was suddenly put out with a basin of cold water. Christina wanted to scoldBrianna, but she failed.

She didn't understand.

Was Brianna acting? But she couldn't be acting at this moment.

Lucy walked closer and observed Brianna with her sharp eyes. There was no bloodstains, and herclothes had not been torn.

However, Lucy also noticed that Brianna seemed to have come into conflict with someone before.Her left toes were trampled and got slightly injured. When she stood up, her body was not thatstable.

"Whom did you have a conflict with just now?" Lucy felt suspicious. She asked Brianna calmly.Brianna looked at her and paused for a long time before saying, "No." Her voice was low and weak,like a child who was afraid of answering the question.

Facing such a Brianna, Lucy's eyebrows were seized by a sense of uncertainty.

But Brianna couldn't be so calm. She grabbed Brianna’s left shoulder and asked bluntly, "Tell me.Why are you here? Did you come here to fight with beggars?"

Brianna seemed to be in awe of Christina and did not dare to reject. She was almost incoherent withfear, "I, 1, 1 don't know."

"Christina, I, I don't know."

"..1, 1 forgot."

Brianna wanted to explain. But she was gibbering with terror. Her eyes turn red and were filled withtears, which was marked by horror.

"I forgot. I forgot. I... I'm useless.” She lowered her head, stood straight and sobbed.

The confusion was fogging Christina's brain.

She really suspect that it was an illusion she had met in Western Garden at noon. Why did shebehave in this way again?

Lucy also felt it was weird. If it was the past, she would have thought that Christina had bullied this"delicate lady". But now, Brianna's behaviors really puzzled them.

Why did Brianna run to such a dirty alley suddenly? Why would she huddle and tremble with fear?"... Who are you afraid of?" Lucy asked suddenly.

Christina didn't understand Lucy's intention of this question, while Brianna reacted violently. Herface suddenly turned pale. It seemed that something terrible had appeared in her mind. Her lipswere trembling... "a, a lot of blood."
