"I''m sorry, Miss Sophia, but the surveince camera here has been turned off since this part of the hospital has been abandoned," said Doctor Kingsley apologetically. Sophia was not happy with that news. She kept scanning the utility room alertly.


    Doctor Kingsley felt that Sophia was too paranoid for her own good, so he reminded her, "Miss Sophia, don''t you want to check on how your husband is doing?"


    Sophia came back to her senses. ''Yes, it''s more important to make sure Zachary is okay!''All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    She gave the utility room onest scan before turning and said, "Let''s go."


    She followed Doctor Kingsley out of the utility room and into the special examination room next door.


    Silence returned to the utility room after the door closed. A minuteter, the door of a closet on the balcony where fire fighting equipment was stored was pushed open from the inside, and three people walked out one after another.


    Sunny kept coughing as it was so dusty inside. He, Lucas, and Xante were squeezed into the small space, and they almost could not close the door. Fortunately, the door faced the window of the balcony, so they were able to escape notice when Sophia went to the balcony to check.


    Sunny suppressed his cough, patted the dust off his body, and looked back to see who had just dragged him and Xante in. He was shocked when he realized it was Lucas, who was also patting the dust off himself. For a brief moment, he thought he was seeing things because of all the dust.


    "Lucas? What are you doing here?" he asked.


    Lucas frowned and said sternly, "You still have the nerve to ask me? I asked you to look after Dad and here you are having a secret rendezvous with your girlfriend! Have you learned nothing at all?" Lucas nced at Xante on purpose.


    "I didn''te out to have a secret rendezvous! I heard Sophia is up to no good again, so I came with my Xante to see what she''s doing!"


    He said the words ''my Xante'' so naturally that Xante rolled her eyes at him.


    Lucas narrowed his eyes. "How did you know Sophia is here?"


    "My Xante told me. She saw her and suspects Corinne is still around. We called you and her before we came, but neither of you picked up the phone!"


    Lucas'' phone was on silent, so he did not realize somebody called him. As for Corinne... She was probably too busy to pick up the phone.


    "Lucas, what are you still doing here? I thought you were sending Corinne home. Where is she, by the way?" asked Sunny.


    Lucas'' gaze instinctively floated to the next-door balcony. "She''s with Jeremy."


    Both Sunny and Xante were a little surprised to hear that. They exchanged nces and asked at the same time, "What are they doing together?"


    Aplicated expression shed across Lucas'' face. He did not answer the question but instead sighed and said, "It''s a long story. But I think they''re going to be discovered by Sophia soon."
