No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 776

The hospital lobby was buzzing with the usual activity. It was there that I bumped into Sinclair, who was carrying a bag filled with ointments.

"...Where's Fanny?" I asked, trying to sound casual.

I didn't really know what to call him. Calling him Mr. Anderson felt too formal, and calling him "Uncle" seemed odd since he wasn't much older than Fanny and me.

"She's upstairs getting checked out," Sinclair replied, glancing at his watch. "She should be done soon."

"I'm going up to see her," I said, heading towards the elevator.

"Wait a minute," Sinclair stopped me and handed me the bag. "Her wrist and ankle are bruised and scraped. She'll need to use the ointment."

I took the bag from him. "Aren't you coming up?"

"...No, I'll wait in the car. Once my sister and her husband are finished, can you help them down?" Sinclair's request confused me, but given our lack of familiarity, I didn't press further.

Still, curiosity got the better of me. "How did you find Fanny?"

"When you really want to find someone, you do," Sinclair replied matter-of-factly.
