Chapter 1051

Anxiousness creeped into Renee’s heart instantly. ‘This is weird, it’s so early in the morning, and that guy is in an unfamiliar place! Besides, he’s blind, so where could he have run off to?!’

She swung the door open as she intended to look for the man, bumping right into the vice dean.

“Good morning, Ren. You’re up early. Did you have a good rest?” Yulia asked with a gentle smile.

She then pointed towards the employee behind her, who was pushing a white cart. “I had the dietary department make some nutritious breakfast according to both of your physical conditions. Quick, have a taste.”

Renee, unfortunately, was in no mood for this, her expression sorrowful. “Thanks, Mrs. Walker, but I have a bigger issue to deal with now.”

“Don’t panic. What is the problem? Can I help?”

“Well…” Renee seemed conlifted, uncertain if she should tell the truth. After all, it was embarrassing to admit that she couldn’t keep an eye on a seriously injured, blind man. It was no different from admitting to her sheer incompetence.

Yulia could tell that Renee was in a tough spot, comforting her. “It’s okay if you can’t tell me, but… just remember to treat this place like your home. The sanatorium is willing to be at your command, we will do everything we can to help.”

The old woman’s sincerity helped ease Renee’s doubts. She let out a dry cough and whispered, “Umm… Have any of you seen Stefan?”

“Hasn’t Mr. Hunt been with you the entire time?”

“When I woke up this morning, I saw that he wasn’t in his room. I don’t even know when he ran out!”

Renee pouted as she huffed. “Can you believe that guy? He’s injured and blind for crying out loud, but he’s still trying to escape! Does he have a death wish or something?!”

“Calm down, Ren. Public areas within our sanatorium have surveillance cameras, so we’ll be able to find out where he’s gone after checking the footage. He should still be nearby,” Yulia consoled and quickly found security to dig out their surveillance history from last night.

The cameras had captured Stefan making his way out of his room at around 3 AM. He stumbled into many things, but was somehow still able to find an exit out of the west wing.

“Mr. Hunt sure is determined. He fell so many times, but refused to give up. If this were anyone else, they’d be bawling their eyes out and asking for help.” Yulia couldn’t help but gasp in awe as she continued watching.

“I’d say he lost his will to live, he’s not driven by determination at all!” Renee glared at the stubborn man, wishing she could punch him through the screen.

‘Damn it! Does he miss Seraphina so much that he has to get back to her right away? He’s still going on even though he’s risking falling to his death!’

They continued watching the footage, and noticed that Stefan walked around for a while after exiting the suite. He was able to find his way out of the sanatorium, and chose to go down a narrow winding path, heading straight towards the deepest ends of the forest.

Soon enough, he was out of the camera’s field of vision.

“No! Mr. Hunt is heading straight towards Dragonmount!” One of the security guards shrieked all of a sudden.

“Dragonmount?” Renee seemed confused.

“Dragonmount is the most dangerous area within the forest, as it is infested with venomous snakes and savage beasts! We normally wouldn’t even allow the average person to enter, and Mr. Hunt is an injured blind man… If he’s been gone for so long, I’m afraid…” The guard gulped, not daring to say anything further.
