This laboratory was pivotal for military pharmaceuticals in Stastle, with night-duty personnel conducting thorough inspections inside and out, ensuring tight security.
Even if a butterfly fluttered by, surveillance cameras would capture it clearly, not to mention a person.
Perhaps he had truly made a mistake.
Recently, Nathan had been struggling to sleep and was busy nearly all day, so he likely misinterpreted what he saw.
Nathan didnt dwell on it and turned back to the ward.
Upon his departure, a masked man emerged from a corner and silently headed in the opposite direction.
The red light on the surveillance camera gradually illuminated, resuming its operation only after the man had completely departed.
.. Library Nathan didnt put much thought into this minor incident and quietly opened the door to the ward.
The room remained dimly lit, devoid of any artificial illumination.
The moonlight streaming through the window offered a faint outline of the rooms layout.
Nathan approached quietly and settled onto the bedside with deliberate slowness.
From the rhythmic breathing of the two children, he sensed they were already asleep.
As his eyes adjusted to the subdued light, Nathan discerned the three figures on the bed, one adult and two children.
Lucinda lay near the window, her side turned, one hand gently cradling the two children, a stance of protective determination even in sleep, as if fearing they might slip from the hospital bed.
Nathan reached out to Colby, closest to him, his touch met by the soft, reassuring texture of fluffy hair, melting his heart.
Nathan was prepared to risk everything, including his own life, to ensure their safety and well-being.
In the silence of the night, Nathan listened to their deep breaths, feeling a gentle drowsiness enveloping him.
He silently fetched a chair and positioned it beside the bed, leaning his arm on the edge as he settled in to rest.
From this vantage point, he could ensure Colby stayed in bed.
Nathan slept peacefully until dawn broke.
Upon awakening, he discovered a pristine white trench coat draped over his shoulders.
The hospital bed was empty, devoid of Colby, Destinee, or Lucinda. He was alone in the ward.
Instantly, an uneasy sensation gripped Nathans entire body, prompting him to rise swiftly and venture out in search of his wife and children.
However, after sleeping with his head nestled against the bedside all night, his feet had grown numb.
Attempting to rise, Nathan was struck by a sharp, needle-like pain shooting through his legs.
He steadied himself with one hand on the floor, his right knee just grazing the floor, narrowly averting a clumsy fall.
At that moment, the door to the ward swung open.
Lucinda stood there, holding a breakfast tray, shaking her head with a smile as she teased, Its so kind of you to salute me like this.
