"It''s locked?" The baffled Doctor Kingsley walked over. He tried the door handle, but s, it was indeed locked.


    "That is strange. This room isn''t usually locked since no one would want to steal the worthless junk inside. Who in the right mind would lock it?" he muttered.


    Sophia became convinced she definitely saw two people running to hide inside. ''Someone must''ve been spying on us. And they ran away to hide inside this utility room when they heard using out!'' "Doctor Kingsley, I''ll stand guard here while you go find the key for this utility room. I won''t feel assured until I know for sure that no one is hiding inside," said Sophia.


    Even though Doctor Kingsley thought it was weird the utility room would be locked, he did not think anyone was hiding inside. After all, it was totally possible some nurse identally locked it after putting something inside. However, he did not dare to defy Sophia''s order, so he went back to his consultation to take the key.


    Sophia stood outside the utility room with her arms crossed. She kept her eyes on the door as if she feared that someone would slip out if she so much as took her eyes away from the door.


    Meanwhile, inside the utility room, Xante was ring at Sunny.


    "What should we do now?" she asked.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    Sunny spread out his hands. "Beats me. It''s not like there''s any furniture to hide behind in this room! And I''m so big that I''ll stick out like a sore thumb. Instead of waiting for Sophia to find us here, we should just go out and confront her head-on! I want to know what she and that doctor is doing to Jeremy!"


    Sunny was about to open the door but Xante stopped him.


    "Don''t go out! It''ll just bring more trouble!" said Xante with a frown.


    Sunny turned and argued, "Then what do you suggest we do? That doctor''s going to bring the key over, and then we''ll be exposed! Sophia''s not going to believe we''re just passing by if we don''te up with a d*mn good excuse!"


    Xante looked around the room full of discarded medical equipment, thinking, ''Sunny''s right. There''s nowhere to hide. We have no choice but to confront Sophia head-on.''


    At that moment, they could hear the key being inserted into the lock. The door was going to open soon!


    Xante took a deep breath topose herself for the disaster about to strike them when someone pulled them both from behind.


    A secondter, they found themselves in a small, dark space where they could not see anything.


    They were about to panic when they heard Doctor Kingsley say, "See, Miss Sophia. There''s no one inside here at all."


    Sophia frowned and looked around the utility room. There was indeed no one in sight, but she still thought it weird. "Doctor Kingsley, don''t you find it weird that a room that isn''t usually locked is suddenly locked?"


    "Miss Sophia, while it''s true nobody rarelyes here, some nurses will asionally bring the discarded medical equipment here. Maybe one of them identally locked the door, so there''s really nothing for you to worry about."


    Sophia frowned. She did not think things were as simple as Doctor Kingsley made it out to be.


    "Is there any surveince camera in this corridor? I''d like to check out the surveince footage if there is! You must understand, Doctor Kingsley, that I have serious paranoia and OCD. I won''t be able to sleep tonight if I don''t rule out all of my suspicions."
