Sharon grabbed Hazel's hand and said, "Hazel, I just got a call from the hospital. It's about my father. I don't know what happened..."
"Don't worry." Hearing this, Hazel immediately comforted her. "Let me take you to the hospital. I know how to drive. Don't you worry, we'll be there in a jiffy!"
Nodding her head, Sharon slowly calmed down. Then she immediately took out her phone to call Stanley.
Since the hospital staff had informed her, they should have informed him as well. Why hasn't he called?
With that, she quickly dialed his number, but it showed that the line was busy.
At this time, Hazel drove the car over. "Please get in."
As Sharon had no choice, she put away the phone and leave with Hazel. On the way, she called Stanley many times, but the line was still busy...
"Hurry up and answer the phone, Stanley..." Sharon had a bad feeling in her heart. She was very flustered, but again no one was answering the phone.
Soon after, they arrived at the hospital. Sharon went straight to her father's ward. From a distance, she saw Dr. Wallace waiting at the door, as well as the nurse who took care of her father.
Seeing her arrival, Dr. Wallace quickly came over and greeted her, "Miss Cruz."
Sharon calmly asked, "Doctor, what's wrong with my father?"
Dr. Wallace pursed his lips before saying, "I'm sorry, Miss Cruz. Half an hour ago, your father had disappeared."
This sudden news was like a bomb that struck Sharon, causing her to be in a trance. What does "disappeared" mean? Before coming here, she had thought of countless possibilities. Did her father wake up, or had there been some changes to his condition? However, she had never thought of this possibility!
"What do you mean? My father can't move. How is he gone?"
Still not believing it, she pushed Dr. Wallace away and went straight to the ward. Nonetheless, the hospital bed was indeed empty.
For a moment, Sharon was stunned, but she quickly snapped out of it. Stepping out of the ward, she looked at the ward number. Yes, it was the correct room number, but why was there no one?
Then Sharon's gaze went straight to the nurse who had been taking care of her father for the past year. "Janet, you've been the one taking care of my father. What's going on?"
"Ms. Cruz, I'm clueless as well! When I came here in the morning, your father was still there. After I went out for lunch, he was gone! I thought I went to the wrong ward and checked it several times. I even checked the whole floor, but there was no sign of your father. Only then I realized that it might be serious, so I went to Dr. Wallace and called you. We have been waiting for you since..."
The nurse became more and more agitated as she spoke. She went forward and held Sharon's hand. "Miss Cruz, call the police now. How could a person disappear in thin air with no tracks?"
Sharon's body swayed as she was on the verge of fainting. Hazel, with her sharp eyes, saw that. Immediately, she held her up.
While Sharon tried her best to steady herself, her brain was spinning. "Dr. Wallace, have you checked the surveillance footage?"
Dr. Wallace nodded and said, "While I was waiting for you, I checked it."
"Then? What did you find?" Sharon immediately replied.
Pursing his lips, Dr. Wallace replied, "The surveillance was fine yesterday, but it suddenly broke today."
What?
Again, Sharon's mind went blank. Just what was going on? Who did this to her father? He was in a coma and did not make any enemies or foes. Why did he suddenly go missing?
At this time, the nurse beside her whispered. "Miss Cruz, could it be enemies looking for trouble?"
Enemies?
Who had a grudge against her? In the past, Harvey had kidnapped her, but Stanley said that he was dead. During this period, she had been home every day and did not have any conflict with anyone, except...
