Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1457

At this moment, the intercom sounded. "A leukemia patient from Room No. 3 on the fifth floor has gone missing with his attending physician. They were last seen around 11:30 to 12 noon. The monitoring room staff are to check the monitoring system immediately!”

The security guard looked at the intercom in a panic. He went from being nonchalant to full-blown panicking.

I yanked him harder. "Did you hear it? We're the family members of the patient in Room No. 3. Check the surveillance immediately.”

"Sure, sure, I'll pull it up right now." The security guard was obviously shocked by my behavior. He moved the mouse with trembling hands and quickly pulled up the surveillance footage in Munchkin's ward.

Theo and I immediately gathered around the monitor.

The monitor was showing a clip around 11 in the morning. It was Doctor Zac who entered the isolation ward to examine Munchkin. At the time, Munchkin was already awake. He was even seen chatting with Doctor Zac with a smile.

After a while, Doctor Zac left. Munchkin was left alone in the ward, reading the encyclopedia I bought him.

However, 20 minutes later, Doctor Zac returned to the ward. This time, they did not seem to be chatting at all. As soon as he walked in, he carried Munchkin out of bed and placed him in a wheelchair before wheeling him out of the ward.

The monitor later showed that Doctor Zac did not give Munchkin chemotherapy or other examinations. He brought him to his office!

We wanted to know what happened after that, but the footage ended there.

"What about after that? Why isn't there anything else?" I saw that the progress bar had reached the very end.

The security guards were equally puzzled. They went back to the system to check it and raised their heads in horror. "There’s nothing wrong with the system. The network must have blocked it, so the surveillance footage at the time wasn't uploaded to cloud storage."

Susan went nearer to him. "You're saying that the recordings at the back are gone?"

"Yes, they're g-gone.” The security guard looked at Susan and replied, "Typically, there'd be delays in the network. There's no way to avoid it. After all, there are too many surveillance cameras in the hospital. Let me check the other surveillance footage for you. Maybe we can find something."
