Chapter 196:

Lanny made his way to the Psychiatry Department hoping to get some useful information from the doctor but came out empty-handed. Finally getting the whereabouts of that old woman, he found himself in the dark about her current location. With a poker face, he headed to the Inpatient Department.

After he arrived at the ward, Mabel greeted him in a sweet tone. Forced to wear a smile, Lanny walked over to her bed. “How are you feeling now?” He casually picked up the medical report from the bedside table and started to read.

Mabel, seeing him, saw her lifeline. She held him tightly and in a choked voice said, “Dad, I’ve missed you so much these days. I thought I’d never see you again.” Glenda, watching Mabel’s performance, pretended to wipe away tears, silently applauding her daughter for her acting skills.

As expected, Lanny was moved. He patted Mabel’s back and sighed, “It’s all over now. You’re home safe.” Mabel showered him with affectionate words, and his earlier dissatisfaction melted away.

Once Mabel fell asleep, Lanny took Glenda out of the ward. “What’s going on? Why all the mystery?” Glenda asked, puzzled.

“I saw that old woman just now. She’s been sent to a nursing home. But I don’t know which one,” Lanny said urgently. “You need to find out. We have to track her down or everything we’ve worked for will be ruined.”

Glenda, taken aback, asked, “But why didn’t you just kill her when you had the chance, instead of locking her up in a psychiatric hospital?”
