Chapter 141

Sasha arrived at the nursing home while wondering if the nurse came here often, considering her

familiarity with the place. The moment they alighted from the van, the nurse led her to the

innermost building, much to her confusion. “Let's go there first, Dr. Nancy.” “Hm? What about the

ones outside? Sasha asked, glancing at the buildings near them in bewilderment. The nurse seemed

to panic a little as she explained, “Dr. Nancy, the ones staying in the innermost buildings are the

most serious cases. I think you should take a look at them first.” “Alright then,” Sasha said as she

decided not to probe further.

However, she noticed how different the building looked from the others. Besides being impeccably

clean, the furniture there was visibly more luxurious, and the employees there seemed well trained

and responsible. Huh, this place looks pretty unique ! She walked into the first ward to check on the

patient staying inside, but stopped abruptly when she noticed the nurse that had led her discreetly

to the nursing home slipping away. “What are you doing, Ms. Sullivan?” she asked.

"Huh? Oh... nothing much... I'm just checking on the other patients!” the nurse said, hurrying back

into the room. Sasha glanced at her again, but she did not say anything else. The two of them got

to work, and they finished visiting every ward after about an hour. Sasha cleared up the documents

in her hands and got up to go to another building. However, the nurse started acting strange the

moment they exited the building. She kept fidgeting and looking back, as though she did not want

to leave it. What's going on? "Hey, Ms. Sullivan? Is everything alright?” Sasha asked. “Huh?” the nurse

exclaimed, whipping her head around to meet her eyes. She shook her head and answered, “I'm

fine. I'm just a little tired.” Ella she’s just a little tired? “Alright then,” Sasha said, taking the

documents the nurse had been holding on to. “Go back and take a break. I'll take over from here.” ”

Thank you, Dr. Nancy,” the nurse said before disappearing out of the front entrance. Sighing, Sasha

had no choice but to get to work. She spent another hour going through the wards and checking

on the patients while carrying her equipment and documents along. When she was done, several

employees at the nursing home rushed over immediately. “Thank you, Dr. Nancy. Can I get you a

cup of tea?” “I'm alright. Thanks for the offer, “Sasha said, glancing at her watch from her. “I have

other matters to attend to.” “Alright then. See you, Dr. Nancy!” the employees chorused as they

watched her exit the nursing home. The winter skies were bleak and grey, and Sasha wondered if a

snowstorm was on its way. When she exited the building, she could not help but shiver violently as

the cold wind cut across her skin. “Hm? Where's the go?”

she muttered to herself as she stared at the empty driveway in confusion. Suddenly, a white van

screeched to a halt in front of the entrance, almost making Sasha jump out of her skin in shock.

Before she could react, an old, frail man with a walking stick alighted from the van and met her eyes

from her. It was as though time had come to stop as they stared at each other in disbelief and

shock. an old, frail man with a walking stick alighted from the van and met her eyes. It was as

Why is he here? Is this a coincidence? Sasha felt as though her head had been split open by a

lightning strike, and panic was the only thing left in her mind. Frederick was no better, but he was

more shocked than panicked. He just couldn't believe what he saw. He continued to stare at her

with wide eyes as her hands began to tremble. *

S-Sasha?” Sasha did not answer. Instead, she began to shuffle away at top speed. Frederick called

after her and stumbled forward on his walking stick. “Sasha! Wait!" “Mr. Hayes, please watch your

step!” “Tell her to come back! Can't you tell? Ella she’s my daughter-in-law!” the old man shouted as

to tear escaped his eyes from him. Sasha could hear his cries from afar, and she slowed to a halt

immediately. Why am I running?/'ll have to face him sooner or later. He needs to know that I'm still

alive, after all. I can't just hide from him forever! She turned around to face the old man, who

hobbled over to her as quickly as her trembling legs would allow.
