I locked the door handle quietly and looked out the ward through the peephole.
I tried my best to look through the hole and saw many people standing outside the ward. The medical staff was barricaded at the back, surrounded by Ronny and his subordinates.
Slowly, I heard the sound of footsteps coming closer from afar. When the person walked passed the ward, I was unsure whether it was by chance or it was deliberate but I saw the man's face.
The person who had come was Theo.
I was overjoyed. I wanted to open the door and run out, but I hesitated after thinking again.
Theo's steps went farther away, and my heart gradually calmed down.
He did not come to me directly and was still walking forward. Was he going to look for Alex?
Ronny had brought so many people over, and one could tell that Alex was also very nervous about this. Would a confrontation now occur between the two parties like this?
Just as I was thinking so, I heard Ronny follow Theo through the corridor. I heard Ronny's order. "This person now poses a big threat to Mr. Hodds. You must protect Mr. Hodds and open fire if necessary.”
My heart instantly rose to my throat. No, I could not let Theo remain here for long.
If Alex was firm about not letting us go, I would take this opportunity to escape with
Munchkin.
I quickly walked to the dressing room and quickly put on a set of clothes on Munchkin.
"Mommy, are we going back?" Munchkin noticed my stance and looked at me, uncomprehending the situation.
I nodded. "Yes, Daddy has come to pick us up, but he's a little busy now so. We'll go first, do you understand?"
He nodded forcefully. "There are more strangers outside today, so remember to hold on to my hand and don't let go no matter what happens, understand?"
