After eating with Marius, I immediately rushed to the coffee shop to meet with this great figure while also walking off the meal.
When I got there, he was already waiting for me.
He waved at me, and I trotted over. "Did I keep you waiting?"
"No. I just arrived as well. I already ordered for you." He knew what I liked to drink.
I smiled, my heart warming. Seeing the man's handsome face, I could not help blushing a little. "Why did you suddenly want to meet me?"
He took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and pushed it in front of me. "I did say I would help you investigate last time. This is the result."
"That was quick."
I flipped through the documents casually. "Gareth actually visits the hospital so many times a month?" I was frowning as I began to find this more and more strange.
"Yes. It's been that way for a long time too. We were only able to look up the records of the past three years and nothing further back. We can't rule out that this might have gone on for more than three years."
The man's words got me thinking even more.
"It must be someone very important. But what kind of illness lands someone in the hospital for so many years? Do you think it has something to do with my mother?" My mind abruptly conjured up a bold thought, but I did not dare say it out loud.
He nodded at me. "It’s not very likely."
That might be true given she passed so long ago. This was public knowledge.
Thinking of this, I could not help feeling a little hurt. "I still have no idea where she's buried until now. I still haven't been able to see her."
"You can ask Silas if you have the chance. He’ll probably tell you."
I nodded and sighed. I looked up and met the man's considerate gaze. "Have you been doing well recently?" I asked faintly.
"Pretty good. I think days like this will end soon. Nibel already looked for you, yes?" He sounded rather confident.
