Chapter 150

The nurse hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Oh, Claire, she's in room 312 on the third floor."

It was no wonder the nurse remembered Claire so well-her husband was strikingly handsome, even more so than Dr. Lewis.

Victor paid no mind to the curious stares from the staff. He thanked the nurse and made his way to Claire's room with long, determined strides.

Expecting to find Claire languishing in bed, Victor was surprised to discover the room empty.

His heart sank. Could Claire have already left?

As he was pondering this, he heard the sound of a toilet flushing from the bathroom.

A moment later, Claire emerged, clad in her hospital gown.

Seeing Victor without warning, her mind went blank.

When she finally processed his presence, her already pale face turned ghostly white.
