Standing at the entrance of the convalescent home, Zhuang Nainai observed the atmosphere and felt a little heartened.

Speaking objectively, she felt that Gu Deshou had done well to place her mother here. The environment here was really good. The weather in the area was great, and it was obvious that this home was meant for the wealthy. The residents were also very mild-mannered, and the nurses and doctors were detail-oriented when they did their rounds. Although they had blond hair and blue eyes, one could tell that they were very meticulous when doing their rounds and checking up on their patients.

Gu Deshou was really stingy when dealing with her. She hadn’t expected him to be so generous with her mother.

Zhuang Nainai heaved an inward sigh of relief. If her mother said that she had been doing well here, Zhuang Nainai really had nothing to worry about.

She turned around and looked at Si Zhengting, then continued walking forward.

Someone stepped out to welcome them. He asked slowly and calmly in English as to which patient she was looking for. Zhuang Nainai said her mother’s name clearly, and the person stared at them strangely.

Suddenly, he lowered his head and looked as though he was in a rush. He asked them to wait and ran off.

Zhuang Nainai’s gaze trailed after him, thinking that his reaction was really strange. The person was looking really anxious while walking away! Zhuang Nainai suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

Could it be that her mother…

She couldn’t bear to continue her train of thought.

If she even heard a hint of how Mother Zhuang had not been doing well here, she would start to blame herself for not taking better care of her.

Zhuang Nainai was nervous with worry and rushed to the entrance, pushing past the nurses in the convalescent home. She ran inside and shouted, “Mother!

“Mother!

“Zhuang Meiting!”

Zhuang Nainai burst into the convalescent home and started looking around for her mother. However, she was shouting really loudly, and everyone turned to look at her strangely.

Someone came to stop her. Zhuang Nainai couldn’t bring herself to care. She was deathly afraid that these Americans were only nice to her mother on the surface but had actually been ill-treating her in reality.

She ran and ran, then saw the person who was at the front desk earlier. She hurriedly ran over to him.

When that person saw Zhuang Nainai rushing over, his expression became more anxious.

Zhuang Nainai hurried over and caught hold of him. “What are you doing? Where’s my mother? Are you people at this convalescent home liars? Have you been ill-treating my mother?”

She had asked him so many questions in the heat of her anger, and the person was too dazed to reply.

Then, the side door suddenly opened and a tall Caucasian walked in. He studied the scene before him, then arched an eyebrow. “What’s going on here?”

Someone immediately introduced him to Zhuang Nainai. Although she could only make sense of a single word in English, Zhuang Nainai understood that the person standing before her was the director of the hospital.

Si Zhengting had rushed over and took hold of Zhuang Nainai’s hand. “Don’t get too agitated.”

Zhuang Nainai knew that she had acted rashly. This was a convalescent home. One couldn’t speak loudly as it would affect the patients’ rest. Her eyes were already red; however, she still apologized to the director. Then, the director invited her to the office.

Si Zhengting conversed with the director in fluent English, then a sudden understanding seemed to strike the director. He walked over and bowed to them apologetically, then started saying a whole stream of words.

The more Si Zhengting listened to him, the more furrowed his brows got.

In the end, his brows were tightly knitted together.

He anxiously asked a question, and the director replied. Then, Si Zhengting finally turned to look into Zhuang Nainai’s worry-ladened eyes. He pursed his lips before saying, “Nainai, Mother Zhuang… went missing yesterday.”
