The Wrong Woman

Nathan's expression hardened as he said, "Avery visits this beauty salon every week, and it's where you were abducted from. Clearly, something is not right with that establishment."

"What should we do now?" Fenna asked.

Nathan remained silent, wheeling Fenna to the orthopedics department. He handed the report to the doctor and briefed him on the situation.

As Fenna received treatment, Nathan exited the room and retrieved his phone from his coat, only to discover it was switched off.

After powering it on, he was greeted with a barrage of missed calls and messages. A somber expression fell upon Nathan's face as he examined the notifications.

He noticed numerous missed calls from Cole, a dozen from his parents, several from Taylor and Wendy, and one from Phoebe.

In addition, there were two missed calls from Mila.

At that moment, Nathan's heart felt like it exploded, and he promptly dialed Mila's number.

With frustration bubbling inside him, Nathan stormed into the hospital room.
