Sienna didn't quite understand why the nurse would ask such a question. "Isn't he in his room?" she asked.

Earlier, Conner had indeed been there, but he had already returned.

Besides, he should be asleep at this late hour.

"No, he isn't." The nurse shook her head. During her rounds, she had noticed that Conner's inpatient room was empty, which was why she had come to ask.

"What's wrong?" The soft sound of footsteps brushed against the floor as Josiah, alerted by the commotion, stepped out of the room.

Sienna turned to Josiah, a faint unease creeping into her voice.

"The nurse says Conner isn't in his inpatient room. It's so late now..."

"Don't panic just yet." Josiah lowered his gaze to look at Sienna.

"Have you tried calling Conner's phone?"

"Not yet," the nurse answered. "As soon as I realized he wasn't in his inpatient room, I figured you were all together, so I came here first."

"I'll call him now." Sienna hurried back into the room, grabbed her phone, and quickly dialed Conner's number.

However, all Sienna got was, "The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable."

Sienna furrowed her brows, her face turning a shade paler. "I can't get through." Something felt off.

Josiah's brows creased as he reassured Sienna, "Maybe his phone just ran out of battery. Don't scare yourself." After a brief pause, he asked, "Do you have any way of contacting the Fischer family?"

"The Fischer family?" Sienna asked.

"Yes." Josiah nodded. "At this hour, where else could Conner have gone? Call them. Maybe his family knows something."

"I'll call Larry." Sienna hurriedly unlocked her phone and dialed Larry's number. "Hello."

The ringtone droned on for a long while before the call was finally picked up. Larry's voice carried a hint of surprise and delight.
