Chapter 218

As Ethan exited the hospital, he unexpectedly ran into Victor Lewis.

Victor paused, taking in the sight of Ethan, and asked, "Ethan, it's so late. Why aren't you with your parents? Where are you headed?"

Ethan replied, his voice weary, "I'm going to find Claire."

He had come to realize that Sean was deeply invested in Claire, making it impossible to convince Sean to let Vanessa go. The only way to help Vanessa was to seek Claire's assistance.

Hearing Claire's name, Victor's eyes lit up. "Where is Claire? I'll go with you."

"What for?" Ethan asked, scrutinizing him.

Victor had a pressing matter to confirm with Claire. While sorting through files recently, he had stumbled upon a revelation: in her first year with the Linwood family, Claire had undergone kidney matching tests.

At just fifteen, why would Claire need to undergo such a procedure? Who was the recipient of the match? Was her missing kidney now inside some unknown person?

These questions swirled in Victor's mind, driving his urgency to find answers. Since Claire's silent departure from the hospital, he hadn't seen her again. He could have asked the Linwoods, but given their treatment of Claire, he instinctively kept his suspicions to himself.

Victor felt he might have uncovered a significant secret.

Victor feigned nonchalance. "It's not about what I want; I'm just joining you.

I'm your guy." Ethan, unsuspecting, said, "I'm going to ask for her help, not to catch her. She's quite resourceful now, somehow
