Vicky ignored Selene and turned to the doctor. âDoctor, did someone come and bring Gloria out of the
hospital?â
The doctor shook his head. âIâm sorry, but my shift has just started, so I donât know what happened to
Miss Shaw.â
After a long thoughtful moment, Vicky took out her phone to call Harvey. âHarvey, did you get Gloria
discharged?â
âNo.â After finding out that Tyler was with Gloria, Harvey sent Vicky home and went home without
stepping foot into the hospital. âWhat happened?â he asked.
âGloria is missing.â
â¦
An hour later, Harvey appeared at the hospital as well and sent his men looking for Gloria.
According to the surveillance footage, Gloria left on her own, yet she had not answered any of her
calls.
Selene had the spare keys to Gloriaâs apartment and went over to find all of Gloriaâs belongings gone.
Vicky, Harvey, and Selene went around searching for Gloria, but she was nowhere to be found, which
Selene did not seem surprised by.
âMaybe Gloria went off to be alone like she did four years ago. When she was diagnosed with
depression four years ago, she ran overseas,â Selene said.
Harvey fell into silence and Vicky asked, âIs something wrong?â
He turned to look at her. âWhat did you three talk about last night?â
âI told you everything. After that, Tyler asked me to leave, so I donât know what those two talked about.â
âTyler?â Harvey lifted an eyebrow. âLooks like they didnât reach an agreement.â
âWhat is that supposed to mean?â
Harvey stared at the screen that showed Gloria leaving the hospital to get in a taxi.
âYou said that Gloria wanted you two to get a divorce, right? Tyler probably didnât want that, yet Gloria
insisted that he does⦠Clearly, she didnât get what she wanted.â
Vicky realized that Harvey was trying to say that Gloria went missing on purpose.
Vicky glanced at Selene who did not seem worried and understood that this was not the first time
Gloria disappeared.
âSince Gloria wants to be alone, letâs leave her be. Sheâll come back when she feels better,â Harvey
said.
âYeah,â Selene agreed. âLetâs leave her alone.â
Lately, Selene started to lose her patience in facing Gloriaâs madness.
Gloria was a great person when she was sane, but even Selene had a hard time dealing with her when
Gloria became mentally ill.
Since the two people who cared most about Gloria showed no intention of searching for Gloria, Vicky
did not argue.
â¦
At eight that night, Tyler returned home, and Vicky looked up from her book to stare at him. âLetâs talk,
Tyler.â
Tyler did not seem surprised and took one glance at her. âI havenât eaten anything.â
She scowled.
âMake me something,â said Tyler while removing his jacket.
