The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 289 I’m Giving You a Chance Now

Amanda followed the given instructions and drove to St. Helen. The moment she entered the premises of the rehabilitation center, an overwhelming sense of ecriness washed over her. There was an inexplicable strangeness in the air, creating a chilling atmosphere that seemed to envelop her. Goosebumps formed on her arms as she stepped out of the car and gazed at the center before her. She lightly touched her arms, attempting to soothe the prickling sensation.

She couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched from somewhere for some unknown reason. Yet, she couldn’t find anything suspicious when she glanced around warily. She retrieved her phone from her pocket and dialed the number written on the slip of paper. After a few rings, the call finally connected.

A soft. gentle voice greeted her on the other end, “Hello.”

“Hello, are you the bone marrow donor? I’ve arrived at the rehabilitation center. Can we meet?”

There was a brief pause before the woman on the phone responded, “Come to the third floor of the inpatient department. I’ll be waiting for you in the corridor.”

Amanda couldn’t help but find the situation even more peculiar after ending the call. The woman’s calm demeanor seemed detached as if she bore no concern for the matter at hand.

Meanwhile, a woman standing in the hospital corridor handed her phone to the man next to her. Tve followed your instructions and made the call.”

The tall man stood before the window, observing Amanda, who was standing near her car in the distance. Her delicate silhouette exuded fragility. He released a kind of laughter filled with malicious glee as he remarked, “Very well, it’s none of your concern anymore. Carry on with your business.”

Amanda reached the deserted third floor of the inpatient department. As she passed by the wards, the sounds of heart-wrenching cries echoed through the air. She took a step back, feeling startled. This place was called a rehabilitation center, but it was nothing more than an asylum. Then, she caught sight of a man’s silhouette at the far end of the corridor. The dim lighting obscured his features, but she could see that he stood sideways, gazing out of the window toward the rehabilitation center, as though he was anticipating her arrival.
