Even though she complained and was very displeased, she was smiling.
“Seriously!”
This is a disease too.
A serious case.
As the text message notification rang, Lola wondered what kind of message he had sent this time and looked at her phone, a look of doubt appearing in her eyes.
The sender was an unexpected person.
-Lola, has Amaya contacted you?
It was a text from Doctor Becky.
The sudden text message made even less sense.
[What do you mean? Why are you asking?]
A reply came back immediately.
-Amaya has disappeared from the hospital.
The moment she saw the text, a bad thought reflexively popped into her head, and Lola’s heart sank.
What was Amaya planning to do now that she had escaped from the hospital?
Could she be planning to harm me?
Amaya was more than capable of doing something like that.
Once bitten, twice shy, Lola felt a sense of foreboding even if Amaya was acting slightly unusual.
-Anyway, Lola, it’s probably best to be careful, just in case. The police have been looking for Amaya, so I think she ran away because of that.
The ominous feeling grew stronger as she read the text message from Doctor Becky.
She felt like she should tell Dylan, so Lola picked up her phone and typed a message.
[Dear, Amaya has disappeared.]
****
At the same time.
Dylan, who was chatting with Lola, instinctively frowned when Gia suddenly called.
Nine times out of ten, when Gia called him, it wasn’t good news.
When he touched the receive button,
-Brother, don’t be surprised when you hear this.
As expected, a nervous voice came over the line.
Dylan furrowed his brow.
‘She sounds kind of scary when she says that.’
But unlike his anxious heart, his voice was calm as he spoke quietly.
“What is it? Tell me.”
He heard the sound of her swallowing hard.
Did she cause some kind of accident?
As he worried, Gia’s voice came out again.
-Amaya has disappeared.
“What?”
Surprised, Dylan jumped up from his seat and raised his voice.
-See? I told you not to be surprised.
“Haa!”
Dylan let out a sigh as if he was dumbfounded, and couldn’t speak for a while, feeling absurd. After a long time, he asked again.
“What happened? When did she disappear?”
He met Amaya at lunch.
If he had known this would happen, he would have held onto Amaya and thoroughly investigated the mastermind.
Damn it!
The police were contacting her almost every day, and he had also cornered her, so it seemed that Amaya couldn’t stand the pressure and ran away.
He had considered that possibility and warned her firmly, but he didn’t know that Amaya was such a foolish woman.
-I don’t know exactly when she disappeared. A nurse found out she was gone while making rounds in the ward. I thought you should know, so I called.
A sigh escaped from Dylan’s lips as he listened.
-But brother, Lola will be okay, right? What if that woman does something terrible to Lola again…?
Anxious, Gia’s voice trailed off.
Dylan was worried, too.
A person can do anything when they lose their mind.
“Your hospital is really strange! I really don’t like it in many ways. Doctors get hurt, patients run away. How can the management be so lax?”
Dylan clicked his tongue again, blaming the hospital.
-We can’t watch the patients 24 hours a day without sleeping.
“That’s why dangerous patients like Amaya should have been locked up in a closed ward a long time ago.”
-She wasn’t that dangerous of a patient.
“So, does she have to kill someone to be a dangerous patient?”
-But why are you yelling at me?
“Let’s hang up.”
This was not the time to be doing this.
He had to find out what happened in detail and find Amaya quickly.
Otherwise, Lola might be in danger again.
As soon as he hung up, Dylan put his arms through his jacket.
And just as he was about to leave the office, a notification that a text message had arrived rang, so he took his phone out of his jacket pocket and checked it.
-Dear, Amaya has disappeared.
[Don’t worry and just trust me. Amaya can’t escape anywhere!]
After sending a reply to reassure Lola, Dylan immediately left the office.
