Jeffrey was silent for a moment before answering, “Give it five more days. If there’s still no substantial progress, then call her in.”

Stanley wanted to say, “There’s really no need.” He doubted he’d make any breakthroughs, not even in a

month.

He guessed, “Could Amelia be from some big family? Her background is spotless; she can’t be just from an ordinary family.”

“Just keep investigating,” Jeffrey said. He wasn’t the type to jump to any conclusions without concrete progress.

Stanley ended the call, taking the cue without another word.

Jeffrey sat in his office and replayed the surveillance recording one more time. He was certain Amelia wasn’t simple, yet for all the great families he searched, there was no trace of the Jensen family. Thinking of this, he dialed Timothy’s number.

When Timothy saw it was Jeffrey calling, he told Rebecca and Ian he had to step out to take a call, then went outside. He called out, “Mr. Hanson.”

“Did that person from last time come back to the hospital?” Jeffrey asked.

Timothy replied, “He did. Just like before, he sat in the room for about half an hour before leaving. I only heard about it afterward from the nurses.”

Jeffrey frowned. He moved his mouse, clicked a few times to open up the surveillance footage, and locked his gaze on the man shown on the screen.

He felt that the man looked familiar, but he couldn’t say where he had seen him before or who he resembled.

Perhaps because Jeffrey had been silent for too long, Timothy called out, “Mr. Hanson?”

Jeffrey said, “From now on, make sure that room is tightly guarded. Anyone going in, except Rebecca, has to be logged. If that man shows up again, call me right away.”

“Yes, sir,” Timothy replied.

Jeffrey hummed in acknowledgment and hung up.

Timothy sent a message in the group chat to pass along the instructions, and once he was done, he returned to the ward.
