It was a private hospital in the north of A City.

The therapeutic level of such hospitals was mediocre, especially in remote counties. The service andenvironment of them were average, but the charge for diagnosis and treatment was not cheap.Ordinary people only went to such hospitals when they had no other options.

"... Miss Zhu, my hospital is not as good as the one in the east of the city, but the curettage surgeryfor you was a complete success. Are you still feeling unwell?"

An old nurse observed the new female patient for a few days. No relatives had visited her since shewas admitted to the hospital.

Before and after the surgery, she looked lifeless with a white vacant face.

"Miss Zhu..."

The old nurse called her again in a kind voice, "Do you want me to call for a meal or porridge foryou? The doctor told you to eat some food yesterday..."

White bedsheets, white pillows, and white ceiling. Crystal opened her eyes and looked around as if itwas a dream.

Her face was pale and she was lying on the bed, motionless. She didn't seem to hear the words ofthe kind-hearted nurse at all and remained silent.

It was as if her voice had been broken and she couldn't speak.

She slowly closed her eyes again, and she didn't want to think about anything.

The old nurse sighed and walked out of the ward.

Most patients came to such hospitals for treating special diseases that could not be said out loud,and many of them had artificial abortions and medicine-induced abortions.

The female patient surnamed zhu came to the hospital four days ago. At that time, the nurse in thelobby was shocked. The patient was wearing a hospital gown from a famous hospital in the east ofthe city, and her pants were stained with blood.

Why did she escape from a famous hospital and transfer to this small private hospital? As long asthe patient had money to pay, nobody in the hospital would ask her such questions.

A few young nurses at the nurse's station were gossiping, "... She must be jilted by a man.”

A middle-aged cleaner also came over, "It should not be an ordinary man. It must be a rich andpowerful man. When his mistress is pregnant and he is afraid of causing trouble, he would send herto a private hospital like here to do abortions secretly.”

"It's impossible. That female patient doesn't look like a mistress.”

"Can you recognize a mistress at a glance? Such a woman is coquettish when she's in bed.Otherwise, you can't explain why no relatives visited her after her surgery. She must be a mistress,who got pregnant and did an abortion to avert trouble. It was just for money. There are manywomen like her nowadays..."

The nurses were not talking loudly, but the door of the ward next to the nurse's station was notclosed completely. Crystal in the bed was very weak, but her nerves were on edge and verysensitive, and she could hear any noise.

At 9 the next morning, Christina and Lucy rushed back to A City from Z City.

"... Are you sure she really went to the private hospital in the north?"

Christina had been bothering Lucy since last night and she couldn't wait to catch the plane back inthe early morning.

She looked up at the taxi driver and urged him, "please drive faster. We have to go to the north ofthe city asap.”

"We're already on the highway. We can't go any faster. If you want to be faster, you should take thehelicopter.” The driver was a little impatient.

Lucy, who sat next to her, said coldly, "As I said, we should go to Hopkins's house first and takehelicopter there.”

Christina was furious and kept urging the honest driver, "Hurry up, hurry up. It hasn't reached thespeed limit yet."

The driver looked sullen all the way, as he had picked up two difficult guests early in the morning.There were many places in the north that were not fully developed, and the roads were not thatgood. The private hospital that Christina was looking for was really remote, and the rest of thejourney was bumpy.

"... I should have asked Charles to send someone here first." After more than two hours, Christinafinally arrived at the destination.

"You didn't tell Chandler about Crystal?" Lucy turned to look at her.

Christina did not respond and strode straight to the medium-sized hospital in front of her.

Lucy raised her eyebrows and realized that Christina had never informed Chandler.

"I don't even know what happened. Why did Crystal suddenly come here? And you said that shehad the curettage surgery in this hospital... I want to see her first to ask for reasons. If it was becauseof Chandler, Crystal might be in a worse mood to see him."

They talked as they walked.

Lucy shrugged and reminded her, "Did I tell you that there has been a car following us all the way?""What?"

Christina went to the Information Desk in the lobby of the hospital.

She tilted her body slightly and looked surprised. Chandler and Charles came striding behind her."You..."

Charles glanced at her and said frankly, "Yes, we followed your taxi." As he spoke, he frowned andlooked around, "Is Crystal really here?"

In the past few days, Chandler had asked Charles to help replace Crystal. They thought that Crystal wasdefinitely instigated by Christina to leave secretly, but they searched in the east of the city andfound nothing. It turned out that Crystal was in the north of the city.

Chandler was not stupid. If Christina went back to A City, he would probably replace Crystal as long ashe followed her.

Christina looked at the two men who suddenly appeared. She looked sullen and she felt as if shehad been tricked.

But it was not the time to be particular about this. Christina and Chandler asked the informationdesk at the same time anxiously, "Is there a patient named Crystal Zhu here?"

"Are you relatives of the patient? It's about the patient's privacy. You'd better contact the patientfirst.”

"I'm her husband. Where is she now?" Chandler's tone was a little tough.

Lucy stood in a corner bored and dusted her shoulders. "..The Inpatient Building behind, Room2013, Bed 23 on the second floor.”

Christina was responsive and immediately ran to the building behind.

After Chandler and Charles asked other nurses and got the same answer, they rushed over theretoo.

But all of them failed.

Bed 23 was empty.

"... Where's this patient? Has she been discharged?" Christina caught an old nurse and asked.

The patient's name was written on the bed. It was indeed Crystal Zhu.

Her medical record was still hanging at the end of the bed. Chandler picked it up and took a look.Then he looked depressed.

"... On the day of her surgery, no relatives came over to sign the consent form. We thought she ..."The nurse said, "She hasn't been discharged yet. There's still a deposit of 5000 dollars. She shouldhave just walked out on her own."

After all, as long as the patients did not owe money, they were free to go.

"Why do you let a patient run around?” Christina was a little irritable. She had taken a long time tobe here, but she failed.

The nurse felt that they were not easy to be offended, and she quickly explained, "... Miss Zhu'ssurgery went well and she could get out of bed now.”

Curettage surgery!

When Charles heard the word, he was stunned. He didn't ask the nurse, as he knew what it meant.Then he turned to look at Chandler.

Chandler's face was tense, his eyes were stiff, and his feet were as heavy as cement.
