Unbreak My Heart

Recognizing the director, the two guards manning the monitoring room immediately ushered them in. It was a small room, yet it was enough to accommodate everyone who came in..

Chloe wasted no time ordering the operator to show her the video footage from twenty minutes earlier.

The operator hesitated, glancing sideways at the director for approval.

"Do what she says," said the director, nodding his consent.

After pressing a few buttons on the keyboard, the operator played the video footage from the camera just outside Ashley's VIP ward.

Both Chloe and Ashley had their eyes peered at the screen, attentively watching from the moment Chloe and Richard had left the VIP ward just in case they miss anything important.

The operator slightly sped up the play time while everyone maintained complete focus without making a sound.

However, despite all the efforts, they didn't see anyone enter the ward where Ashley was during that period of time.

Ashley covered her mouth with her hand in utter disbelief. "How is that possible? Someone must have slipped into the ward. How else does a baby disappear into thin air?"

"Wait! Replay it," Chloe demanded.

Once again, unfortunately, they found nothing out of the ordinary.

Judging from the video footage, no one entered Ashley's ward at all.

The expression on Chloe's face showed utter confusion. There it was before her eyes, hard evidence that no one had entered Ashley's ward while they went to buy breakfast. But there was no doubt that the baby had disappeared while Ashley was still in sound sleep.

If indeed no one had gone inside, what could have happened? How could a baby vanish without a trace?

They checked the footage several times, all ending in vain. Even the operator was a little impatient, "Do you want me to play it one more time?"

Ashley couldn't believe what she had seen. "No! This can't be true. How is that possible? My baby! My baby is missing!"

"Ashley, Ashley, calm down. This footage proves nothing. We will find her no matter what!"

"Have you noticed something

lan staring at his screen with a puzzled look.

Nolan could climb a mountain and swim across an entire ocean for Chloe. An office meeting wasn't going to keep him from going to see her.

Besides, he knew Chloe all too well. Although she claimed to be fine, something bad must have happened in the hospital for her to call him, as such was very out of her character.

"Addis!"

"Yes, sir Nolan..."

"Go to the hospital and find out what's going on there. I want you to report to me as soon as possible if something comes up. And if she asks you to do something, just do it without hesitation."

"As you wish, sir."

Nolan didn't walk back into the meeting room again until Addis's figure disappeared in his sight.

Addis had been at Nolan's side ever since he was a child. Nolan trusted no other man as much as he trusted Addis.

As such, he felt relieved to know that Addis would take care of whatever Chloe's issue was at the hospital.

Meanwhile, back at the hospital.

Chloe had just hung up her cellphone. What was happening to Ashley made her crease a line in her brow.

Staring at Ashley's innocent face, she fell into a pensive silence, wondering why someone would want to do such a horrible thing to her. If Chloe's memory served her right, Ashley had always been a gentle and mild woman. How could she offend someone? This matter was really like a riddle.
