Doctor Kingsley looked at the time. He could tell Sophia was burning with jealousy, so he nodded and said, "Okay. I''ll call the nurse. Please hold on a moment."


    Sophia paced around the consultation room and nced at Doctor Kinglsey, who was making the call, from time to time.


    A minuteter, she saw Doctor Kingsley frown. He had called the nurse twice, but neither time did she pick up. Something was not right!


    Sophia immediately walked over to him to ask, "Doctor Kingsley, what''s the matter?"


    "Sorry, Miss Sophia. The nurse didn''t pick up the call. I''m afraid something has happened. I''m going over there to check on them now," said Doctor Kingsley with some embarrassment. ''Something happened?'' Sophia''s frown became even deeper. ''Could it be that the nurse got so into it that she didn''t hear the phone ringing?''


    That thought sent her mind into a frenzy.


    "What could''ve happened? I''m going with you, Doctor Kingsley!"


    Doctor Kingsley did not stop her. He simply took out the key to the special examination room from his drawer and quickly hurried over to the room with Sophia following behind him.


    At that moment, Xante and Sunny-who were eavesdropping outside-did not have time to retreat, so they quickly hid in the utility room near them.


    Sophia, who had always been paranoid, felt something was off the moment she stepped out of the consultation room. She stopped and looked to the left and right, but no one was there.


    Noticing she had stopped, Doctor Kingsley turned and asked, "What''s the matter, Miss Sophia? What are you looking at?"


    Sophia snapped out of her thoughts and frowned. "It''s nothing. I thought I saw two people scurrying away."


    Doctor Kingsley did not have the best eyesight, which was evident from the thick sses he was wearing. Thus, he did not notice anything at all.


    "This area here is considered abandoned by the hospital, so no one usuallyes over. Perhaps you were mistaken, Miss Sophia."RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    ''Me, mistaken?'' thought Sophia. She might not have thought too much if they were in an area where many people were walking about, but it was like Doctor Kingsley said no one would go there at all. Why, then, did she see two people running away?


    Sophia still did not feel at ease, so she said, "Please give me a moment, Doctor Kingsley. I''m going over to the utility room to see if anyone is there."


    "Okay," said Doctor Kingsley as he remained standing where he was to wait for her.


    Sophia walked over to the utility room where she saw the two people going in. She even heard the door closing! She reached out her hand to turn the door handle but...it was locked from the inside! ''This is odd,'' she thought. She turned around and asked Doctor Kingsley, "Is this utility room normally locked?"


    "Nope. We don''t keep it locked since there''s nothing but worthless junk inside," said Doctor Kingsley, confused. Sophia frowned. "Then why is it locked now?"
