Tiffany, who had covered herself from head to toe with clothing, had left the hospital, not wishing to be recognized.
However, she had only arrived at the car park without getting the chance to get into her car when she saw Thomas walking toward her.
"Mr. Ritter... What a surprise..."
Tiffany greeted him with guilt.
From Thomas' original spot, it looked like he had been waiting for her for a long time.
"Miss Larson, the boss wants to see you."
Thomas walked right up to her with a stern expression and mentioned it in a cold tone.
"M-Matthew wants to see me? What for?"
For some reason, she felt an uneasy sensation well up from within as she felt her heart skip a beat. Trembling, she was afraid that something might happen.
Thomas only motioned toward her. "Miss Larson, please get into the car!" He no longer possessed a respectful tone.
Clutching her bag tightly, Tiffany touched her mask and sunglasses before falling into deep thought.
I had dressed myself so discreetly, yet Thomas was still able to discern my identity from a glance...
It looked like he had been waiting for me. But, what could make Thomas personally find me instead of Matthew calling me to meet up?
Even though she felt very apprehensive, Tiffany still chose to follow Thomas.
As the car drove away slowly, she felt more and more suspicious of the whole situation.
Taking out her phone, she called Matthew, but nobody picked up.
"Mr. Ritter, where are we going?"
Tiffany took off her sunglasses and tried to get a grasp of the situation.
Yet, Thomas did not answer her and only kept his silence.
"H-How did the investigation go yesterday? Matthew didn't do anything to Veronica, right?" Since she did not get the answer she wanted, Tiffany started to change the angle of attack.
After the incident yesterday, Tiffany had sent her people to search for Veronica, but a whole day of searching yielded not even a trace of Matthew or Veronica. So, she could not determine if Matthew had made a move on her.
Maybe nothing happened.
The car kept heading east until they reached the North Ring Road.
Tiffany finally noticed that something was off by this point. "Mr. Ritter, where exactly are we going? Also, where's Matthew?"
"You'll know when you get there.” Matthew only answered some questions. If there were any topics concerning Veronica, he would avoid them completely.
It was another ten minute drive when they arrived at another hospital.
This hospital was located in a more secluded and outskirt part of the city.
Sitting in the car, Tiffany looked at the hospital and clutched her bag involuntarily, terrified. "Why... W-W-Why did we come to another
hospital?"
She held her stomach subconsciously, as if she had guessed what was about to happen.
Thomas, upon parking the car, looked at Tiffany through the mirror. "Miss Larson, please get out of the car."
"I won't. Not before you tell me what we're doing here."
Shaking her head profusely, she said, "I want to see Matthew. Where is he?"
At this point, Tiffany was so nervous that she was almost suffocating while she called Matthew.
Ring, ring, ring...
After a few rings, Matthew answered her call.
"Sob... Matthew, where are you?
Thomas brought me to a place called Lifeline Hospital..."
