Chapter 487

At 6 PM, Ellie left early to work her night shift at the hospital. After more than an hour’s drive, she didn’t arrive until after 7

PM.

Ellie went into the staff hallway and sent Aaron a message as she walked, letting him know she had arrived safely at the hospital. After sending the message, Ellie suddenly felt like someone was following her. She quickly turned around but didn’t see anyone.

Relieved it was a false alarm, Ellie walked faster. After a few more steps, that feeling came back, like someone was watching her from behind. Staying calm, Ellie moved quicker, reached into her bag to take out a stainless steel case, and pulled out the largest needle.

She suddenly started running and slipped into a small storage room behind the restroom. Through the crack in the door, Ellie soon saw a stranger hanging around outside the storage room entrance.

With determination, Ellie quickly opened the door and accurately stuck the needle into the man’s pressure point. With a dull thud, the man fell to the ground.

Ellie carefully approached, holding the needle. She gently kicked the man to check for a reaction. Seeing none, she knelt to remove his mask and call the police.

Barry, concealed in the shadows, watched as Ellie incapacitated his henchman with a single needle. Not only that, but she had mistaken his subordinate for a stalker and called the police. Barry hurriedly stepped out from the shadows. “Ms. Thompson!” he called, nervously bowing his head.
