I'll check if the remains have been cremated.”

The head nurse picked up a phone to call the morgue staff.

The Flanley Hospital administration had told them that they could seethe remains of the baby whenever they wanted.

Now, however, they failed to show anything-claiming that it was a rulefor the hospital to cremate every unclaimed body within regularintervals.

'Oh, I see.”

Told as much, the head nurse hung up and turned toward Isaac andIrene.’ I'm sorry, but your child's remains have been cremated.”

Isaac frowned-they were almost eager to show them before, andshould at least inform them before something like this.

Why did they not do so?

Is it possible that they had nothing?

“This was your responsibility.”

'Yes. I'm sorry for the terrible miscommunication.”

"Do you think I'd accept that apology?!" Irene screamed.

She clearly had yet to calm down, but no one probably could in hershoes.

How could she accept it? She was not even afforded the chance to seethe child she carried.

Isaac had to keep his arms around her, but words failed him.

After all, nothing could appease the anguish of losing a child.

Bzzt-

Isaac's phone suddenly rang-it was Sammy.

'I have something, but I think we should meet. Is this a good time?""Yeah."

Isaac then hung up and turned toward the head nurse with a sharpglare.” There had better be a formal apology. It is unacceptable that weweren't informed, and we will talk to the hospital chief if you lack theauthority!"

With that, he left, putting a hand around Irene’s shoulder as they lefttogether.

Sammy arrived at Irene's ward half an hour later, but seeing that shewas up but in a bad state, he asked Isaac, "Should we talk outside?""No," Isaac growled. "We can do it here!"

Right now, this might offer Irene enough hope to pull herself together.Sammy handed him a ledger.

"Here's what I got-the bank records of Kim Sherwood, the doctor whooperated on your wife. There was a huge sum suddenly wired into heraccount on the day of the surgery, and the account was closed soonafter the funds were wired. I personally checked with the bank-you cansee it here."

“I'm sure it's too much of a coincidence for anyone. A doctor being paidoff on the day your wife had the surgery? The account that wired themoney was closed after the transaction too-someone wants to covertheir tracks. Something is wrong here."

"So there's a chance that my child is alive?" A ray of hope sparkled inIrene’s eyes after she heard Sammy's story.

“There is the possibility,” Sammy replied.

Irene then turned toward Isaac. "Who could it be?"

Isaac was reading the ledger.

The account that wired the money to Dr. Sherwood's account only hada single transaction, as if it was opened expressly for that purpose.Was it a conspiracy?

Isaac frowned as an idea took hold. "Sammy, replace out if she leftMinerva.’ "Right away."

Sammy understood what Isaac was getting at-if something shady reallywent down in that operating room, Kim Sherwood would definitely bolt.Finding her took priority, just as unveiling the truth started with her.

"She's running?" Irene became flustered.

They had no clues at the moment, let alone any idea who the mastermind was.

The trail would grow cold if Kim managed to escape.

Meanwhile, Isaac had calmed down and he took Irene’s hand. "Maybe this is actually goodnews for US."

irene blinked and rasped, "What are you talking about?"

“If that doctor really bolted, it proves that she was in league with someone -our child might bealive, and that's good.”

Irene thought about it and agreed, but soon began to panic again. "Who could it be? Are theyyour enemy or mine?"

But she never offended anyone.
