The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1458

The young nurse remembered about it, and her countenance dulled once again. She shook her head at the head nurse.

My heart sank once again after hearing the news.

Theo, on the other hand, seized the opportunity to pick me up and carry me back to the ward.

He put me on the bed and gently patted off the dust on my feet with his hands. Then, he put them under the blanket to cover them up.

"Munchkin will be okay." He held me and whispered gently into my ear.

When the surveillance footage disappeared, everyone realized that something was wrong. Almost everyone in the hospital went to look for Munchkin and Doctor Zac, but there was no sign of them at all. Susan sat on the edge of the bed encouraging me. "It'll be okay. Now that we've found Doctor Zac, we'll find a clue."

I remembered the last image on the monitor where Doctor Zac took Munchkin away. Maybe he was the only one who could answer the doubts of so many of us, but unfortunately, he was still unconscious. On the side, Tyler echoed, "Yeah, although Doctor Zac is unconscious now, we can at least ask him why he took Munchkin away earlier and where he took him to. Maybe we can even ask him who he last met up with, then we can then-"

Tyler would not stop talking when he was anxious. It was only until Susan turned around and glared at him, did he realize he had talked too much and clammed up.

"Don't worry, Wanda. There are so many of us who'll accompany you. Munchkin will be fine."

I knew that everyone was only saying this to comfort me.

No one could say for sure if Munchkin would really be okay.

"You should all go home. I need to rest." My voice was breaking. Despite using all the strength that was left in me, my voice still sounded soft as a mosquito. "Let us keep you company." Susan looked at me with worries in her eyes.

"It's fine. You'll be worried for nothing if you stay here anyway. You should go back first."

Perhaps they were worried about me, none of them refuted further after hearing what I said. Susan stroked my shoulder. "Give me a call anytime you have news." She left after saying that. Tyler looked at her back but remained in the ward.

"You should go back too, Tyler," I powerlessly said, burying my head in the crook of my arm. "Alright then. Take care of yourself," he left after exhorting me.

I did not know how long 1 sat on the bed. When I raised my head again, it was already dark.

My mind was blank. Several images flashed through my mind from time to time. I saw images from the past of Munchkin calling me Mommy with a smile.

Theo sat by my side the whole time, remaining in the same posture.

"Why don't we go home first, Wanda?" Theo suggested. He might have considered that home was a more familiar environment to me, which could help me relax a little. "No, I can't go home. I'll wait here for Munchkin." Relaxing was the last thing on my mind now.

"It's already dark. Any news from Mr. Ezekiel yet?"

Theo hummed softly. "Thankfully, Doctor Zac is no longer in danger. We'll have new leads after the police officers take his statement when he wakes up."

I was exhausted. Only my mind was actively turning. I held back the urge to rush up to Doctor Zac's ward and tried my best to stay in bed and wait for news. Other than that, there seemed to be nothing I could do.
