Chapter 519
On the other end, James was caught dumbstruck.
Isaac himself had just told James not to call him if it was not important, and he was calling him already?
Also, Irene was sent to the hospital? She was not due yet, was she?
Nonetheless, he was too afraid to ask since Isaac sounded very anxious, and he quickly replied instead, i’ll find out what I
can.”
Once Isaac hung up, Isaac drove straight to the nearest hospital to start looking.
For some reason, he was exceedingly flustered, paranoid that something terrible would happen to her.
It had been a long awaited reunion, and he did not even have the time to get a good look at her, let alone sit down and
have a heart to heart.
He had so much to tell her, and he did not manage to tell her that he missed her.
He wanted to tell her that he read Yvaine Lynd's letter, that he knew everything-that he was thankful for what she did.

However, there were too many people there, so he had to make calls and pull some strings to get the front desk to
look for Irene.
There were no records of Irene Spencer or Jane Tanner, just as James called him.
"Sir, there's no record of her being admitted to any hospitals... not even with her alias."
Isaac finally realized that something was out of place.
After clearing the air with her, she had no reason to run off so quickly.
He quickly told James to check the hotel again and he rushed back as well.
They were going to have to find any clues there.
Isaac arrived first, so he asked security to show him the tapes-it was customary of hotels to equip cameras.
From the footage, Isaac clearly saw Irene entering Dr. Pitt's room before heading out together to dinner at the
hotel restaurant.
While they ate, Irene appeared to be taken ill and soon fainted.
Dr. Kramer then carried her off.
The footage was clear, but there was no voice recording-they could not tell what they were saying.
James rushed to the scene just then, and he immediately sensed the gravity of the situation due to Isaac's anxiety.
"What happened?"
"She's gone," Isaac said, his eyes still on the footage. "Find someone who can lip-read. We need to know what they
are saying."
James almost wobbled when he heard that Irene went missing again.
Did she run away again?
Gosh, they had just found her again less than 24 hours ago!
Even so, he quickly left-regardless of what happened, he must do what Isaac told immediately, even as he hoped
that this was a misunderstanding.
Who knew? Maybe Irene did not run away and had to leave because of something urgent, and would be back after one
night.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe made call after call, but soon found a lip-reader and brought her to the hotel in under an hour.
While he led the lip-reader to the security room, Isaac asked the hotel to call in the waitress who had spoken to him
before and questioned her about Irene.
The waitress was quaking in her boots. She was just being helpful, but she had the feeling she got herself caught in a
serious mess...
Until Isaac gestured for James to smack a stack of dollar bills on the table.
"What happened to the pregnant lady? Tell me what you saw. Tell me everything without messing up, and this is yours."
The waitress saw that there must be five grand in that stack of bills, which was more than twice her monthly salary!
Feeling thrilled, she quickly said, "They were having dinner at the restaurant in the evening, and I think the pregnant
woman must have been feeling ill and was going to return to her room. However, she suddenly dropped to a crouch and
soon fell on the floor, so I tried to help, but the foreigners who were eating with her carried her, saying that they would
take her to the hospital. I didn't follow since I was leaving work soon enough, and that's all I know."
Her statement matched everything they saw on the security footage.
Now, they could only wait for the lip-reader to decipher Irene's conversation with her colleagues.
Later, James arrived and handed Isaac the script completed by the lip reader.
"It's done."
