Sunny frowned. "Didn't Sophia discuss something about collecting Jeremy's 'seed'? If Corinne's with Jeremy, then..."

Xante understood everything as soon as she heard Sophia's conversation with the man in the white coat. Her curiosity dissipated, and she was concerned solely for Corinne's safety. "What should we do now, Mister Lucas?"

The doctor unlocked the special examination room with a key. It was dark inside since the curtains were drawn. A lewd film was playing on the screen, and the actors were making some equally lewd sounds. Sophia immediately expressed her discomfort after entering and witnessing the scene. She frowned and looked around for Zachary, but he was nowhere to be seen.

"What's going on, Doctor? Where's my husband? Didn't you say there would be a nurse with him? Where is she? Why isn't there anyone here?"

The doctor was puzzled by that scene as well. "I have no idea what's happening either. This room was locked. No one could've come in here."

Sophia grew anxious. "Is this how you do your job, Doctor? I've entrusted my husband to you, and now he's gone! Do you think that nurse of yours might have abducted my husband?"

"Of course not," The doctor replied awkwardly. "What would she gain from kidnapping your husband? She'd only be breaking the law. Please calm down and wait a moment, Sophia. I'll try to give the nurse a call..."

The doctor took his mobile phone to make a call, but the dial prompt informed him that the nurse's phone had been switched off. 'Why is her phone switched off?' he wondered, sensing that something was already amiss.

The doctor's silence led Sophia to ask anxiously, "Why hasn't the nurse answered?"

The flustered doctor replied, "She must've been caught up in something..."

Sophia's face soured when she heard that. "This is ludicrous! Where did you people hide my husband? This is outrageous! I'll call the police right away..."

Her agitation was evident, and she pulled out her cell phone to call the police.

The doctor panicked as he was worried that the situation might spiral out of control and affect his work. "Please don't be hasty, Miss Sophia. Your husband must be around here somewhere..." Sophia ignored his plea and proceeded to make her call. The operator had just picked up when a cold voice said, "I'm right here."

The voice took Sophia by surprise.

By then, the operator was calling out to her, "Hello, you've reached the police hotline..."

Sophia turned around and saw a man seated quietly in a wheelchair. He had been out of view behind the curtains in the corner. Given the dim lighting in the room, it was not surprising that she did not notice him immediately.

The doctor heaved a sigh of relief and urged, "There! Your husband is safe and sound, Miss Sophia! You can end that call now!"

Sophia ended the call and approached Zachary worriedly. "Are you all right, Zachary?"

Zachary's expression was ice-cold. He cocked an eyebrow and gazed expressionlessly at her. He then asked sarcastically, "Did you think something would happen to me during a routine examination?" Sophia's expression froze, and she found herself speechless.
