Xia Wan calmly walked to the telephone and picked up the receiver.

Before Xia Wan could speak, the person on the other end shouted eagerly, “Xia Wan! You wretched woman! Get over here and see me now!”

The voice of Xia Ru, deafeningly loud, startled even Xia Feng who was standing nearby.

“What are you raving about?” Xia Wan’s tone was icy cold.

“I’m telling you, don’t think I don’t know about the tricks you’re playing!” Xia Ruts voice sounded full of energy.

“Hello! Don’t pull me! Let go of me! Help!” Xia Ru’s hysterical voice came through the receiver.

After a burst of noisy sounds, the voice on the phone returned.

“Miss Xia, I’m sorry, we just lost sight of Xia Ru and she ran out,” Dr. Li’s voice was full of apologies and anxiety.

“I’ve already had someone take her back. We will make sure to keep an eye on her and not let her escape again!” Dr. Li assured.

“Did she see anyone today?” Xia Wan wondered, thinking Xia Ru must have met someone to have such an outburst.

“No one came to see her today,” Dr. Li sounded puzzled, “We had a staff training today and declined all visits.”

Xia Wan hummed in thought.

After a pause, Dr. Li continued, “Today, only two nurses were left to take care of the patients, everyone else was at the training.”

“Probably Xia Ru took advantage of the situation when there were fewer people and ran out.”

“As you know, our sanatorium is fully enclosed. She couldn’t get out, so she must have run to the office to make a call.”

“Check if she contacted anyone else before calling me,” Xia Wan instructed. “Okay! I will immediately have someone check with the telecommunications office,” Dr. Li responded promptly, “I’ll also ask the staff on duty today to see what exactly happened.”

“There’s no rush,” Xia Wan declined Dr. Li’s offer, “I will come over later myself.

Please ask Dr. Li to ensure no one leaves for now.”

“Sure! No problem!” Dr. Li agreed readily, without any hesitation.

Xia Wan hung up the phone, and Xia Feng approached her, “What happened? Is it related to our parents?”

Xia Wan shook her head and patted Xia Feng’s shoulder, “I need to go out for a while. Stay at home and keep an eye on the phone.”

Xia Feng frowned, wanting to refuse, but after thinking, he suppressed his anxiety. “Okay! I’ll keep watch here!”

Xia Wan smiled wearily, said nothing more, and made a phone call to Chen Mo.

Soon, Chen Mo’s car appeared again at Xia Wan’s doorstep.

“What happened with Xia Ru?” Chen MO asked, seeing Xia Wan’s weary face.

“There must be someone in the sanatorium who informed Xia Ru,” Xia Wan shared her speculation.

“You mean, Xia Ru might know something?” Chen MO pressed the gas pedal harder.

“I’m not sure how much she knows, but someone inside the sanatorium definitely has contact with the people who took my parents! ” Xia Wan said confidently.

Hearing this, Chen MO didn’t dare delay any longer, pressing the gas pedal to the floor, and the car roared off.

When the two arrived at the sanatorium, Dr. Li was already waiting at the entrance.

“Miss Xia, Mr. Chen, you’ve arrived!” Dr. Li looked anxious, his body slightly stooped.

“Dr. Li, has something else happened?” Xia Wan, noticing Dr. Li’s expression, asked tentatively.

“This…” Dr. Li hesitated, then said through gritted teeth, “Xia Ru fainted after returning to her room and hasn’t woken up since.”

Dr. Li knew that he couldn’t conceal the situation any longer.

“Fainted?” Xia Wan’s expression changed slightly, and she quickly walked into the sanatorium, bypassing Dr. Li.

Dr. Li followed behind Xia Wan. “We didn’t even have time to medicate her before she fainted.”

“I’ve already contacted the director of the central hospital in the county to come and examine her, but they haven’t arrived yet…”

Xia Wan didn’t slow down and rushed straight to Xia Ru’s ward.

In the ward, Xia Ru lay motionless on the hospital bed, her complexion deathly pale..
