Chapter 483 There Seemed to Be Someone in the Morgue

She quickly shook her head, “No…no!” she said in a flustered manner, “I’m going to find my mom,

goodbye Auntie.”

After speaking, he hurriedly ran away.

What happened to this child?

She glanced around, there was nothing here, just a ladder below. It seemed that she had just come up

from here. Was Rachel down there?

Thinking of this, I slightly furrowed my brows, having a bad premonition, this child wouldn’t…

With this thought, I quickly shook my head. After all, Rachel was an adult woman, she wouldn’t be

fooled by a child. Perhaps she had just left early.

Thinking of this, I turned around and prepared to leave.

“Bang…” I hadn’t taken more than a few steps when I heard a sound coming from the stairwell. It was a

somewhat heavy thud, hard to hear unless you listened carefully.

And it seemed somewhat distant, the sound was quite hollow.

After hesitating for a few seconds, I still went down the stairs.

The stairs led down to the basement, separated by an iron gate. Only one door of the gate was open,

and I wasn’t sure if there was anyone inside. I peered inside, beyond the iron gate was a corridor. The

lights in the corridor were on, but somehow, there was still a chill in the air.

“Thud, thud…” The sound echoed through the corridor. This time, I heard it very clearly. It was the

sound of someone pounding, and I could faintly hear cries for help. It wasn’t very clear, but if you

listened carefully, you could hear it.

Thinking of Hermosa’s reaction just now, I suddenly realized that this child might have locked Rachel in

the basement room.

Thinking of this, I almost didn’t think much and headed towards the corridor with a stern voice.

I had only walked a short distance when I realized that the basement was unusually cold. It was a

belated realization that the basement of the hospital was, in fact, the morgue

I suddenly shivered, feeling a bit uneasy. What if it wasn’t Rachel who was locked in here, but…

Thinking of this, I stopped in my tracks. To be on the safe side, I planned to turn back and find

someone from the hospital to come and take a look. Although I was nurtured in the spring breeze of my

motherland, I was not that brave after all. If something really happened, I wouldn’t be able to handle the

scare.

Thus, I hurried back to the hospital lobby. Just as I was about to look for someone from the hospital to

go down and check, I saw Emma and Hermosa coming out of the elevator.

Emma saw me first and waved, calling out, “Tabatha.”

Seeing her, I walked over. Noticing that her eyes were somewhat red, figured she must have had an

unpleasant conversation with William. It made sense, after all, how could anyone enjoy a conversation

under such circumstances.

I couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, looking at her and asking, “Are you planning to go back?”

She nodded, smiling faintly, “I’m not needed here anymore, Hermosa and I will go back first. Walter just

said you left, what happened? Did something happen?”

I looked over at Hermosa, who by then had no trace of panic on her face. However, her little hand

clutching the corner of her clothes subtly revealed her uncase.

I wasn’t clear on the situation, so I couldn’t say much. I could only nod slightly at Emma and say,

“Hmm, but it’s not a big deal…”

“Dad!” Before I could speak, I heard Hermosa’s crisp voice…

It was William,

Who hurried out of the elevator, looking somewhat anxious at Emma and Hermosa. He paused slightly,

and upon seeing me, he seemed to want to say something but held back. Perhaps it was because

Emma was there, he didn’t speak, but just gave us a faint smile.

Seeing him like this, Emma naturally guessed that something had happened to him and directly asked,

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

William shook his head slightly and said lightly, “No, Odin is outside, he will take you home later.”

Seeing that he didn’t want to talk, Emma didn’t press further. She took Hermosa’s hand and was about

to leave.

But Hermosa suddenly grabbed William’s hand and said, “Dad, please take me and mom. I want to talk

to you about what’s been happening at school recently. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, and

you haven’t played chess with me for a long time.”

“Tabatha!” A voice came, it was Emma, I was startled and turned around, she and Hermosa had

already come behind me.

Emma was about to speak to me when she saw Walter and Marjorie coming from the staircase. Seeing

them, she glanced at me somewhat awkwardly, belatedly realizing that I might have been

eavesdropping.

Uh!

I indeed felt a bit embarrassed, but it was only for a moment. Originally, I was just passing by

unintentionally and listened out of curiosity.

Walter and Marjorie, of course, saw us too.

Looking at the two of them, I pulled a slight smile and awkwardly said, “Just happened to pass by.”
