"What about after that? How did you manage to discharge Munchkin after that?" | listened to what Dr. Zac said
earlier and found his points doubtful.
Even though he already met Theo and me’, according to 'our' request, he did not help Munchkin with the
discharge procedures at all.
Otherwise, it would not have taken us so much effort to find Munchkin this morning.
If he did not go through the procedures, how did he manage to take the patient outside?
Dr. Zac continued to look at Theo andwith a puzzled expression. "It's because you askedto bring the
child outside first so that your professional medical team could perform an examination before going through the
formalities."
This could be connected with his statement earlier.
"We got in touch earlier, so | knew that you were the patient's immediate family.

Besides, it was just an examination, so it wasn't going to affect the patient too much. That's why | went and
brought Munchkin out."
The police officers were staring at him. | knew Dr. Zac would not lie, but this just sounded so strange for some
reason.
"When | brought Munchkin out after that, | saw both of you standing at the entrance of the elevator. | wheeled
Munchkin over, and the elevator door happened to be open. Mr. Grant invitedinside. | don't remember
everything that happened after that." The police officer standing on the side seemed to have noticed our
confused faces and added, "According to Mr. Zac's description, someone covered his mouth and nose with ether
when he entered the elevator. That's why he forgot everything that happened after entering the elevator."
"Who else was in the elevator with you?" | quickly asked again but later realized that something was not right.
Dr. Zac slowly said, "There wasn't anyone else in the elevator. When | wheeled Munchkin into the elevator, only
the two of you were behind me."
We stared dumbfoundedly at the police officer next to us.
"Don't worry. You both have countless alibis at the point in tDr. Zac mentioned, so there's no need to worry
for now. But because things are a little complicated right now, | hope the two of you won't leave Whaldorf City
for now.
Please be sure to keep in touch with us."
Theo and | nodded our heads.
Up until now, Dr. Zac had recounted his experience, and the only useful clue he had pointed to Theo and me.
The investigation was interrupted again. It was already dark when | returned to my ward. Theo escortedto
my bed the whole way.
| lay on the bed with a blank expression.
"Take a rest. I'll go fix you something."
He was just about to walk away when | held his hand. "Don't go first. Can you keepcompany?"

He did not refuse and sat down on the bed, lendinghis shoulder.
I lay on his chest and listened to his heartbeat, feeling the strength he brought to me.
"Don't worry, Munchkin will be fine."
| nodded wearily.
| did not know who would take Munchkin away. All | knew was that Munchkin was surely not their target. No one
would hurt a child.
Whoever was doing this was surely makingtheir target.
However, we had not received any news after so much thad passed. The police officer speculated that the
possibility of the other party holding Munchkin for ransom was extremely low. Otherwise, they would have
contacted us by now and left us with clues.
Unsure how long it had been, Theo stood up again and insisted that | eat something. | could not win the «
argument, so | could only let him do as he wished.
