Xavier chuckled. "It's too late for regrets. The hospital's Wi-Fi is pretty good, full signal even!"
He became busy with his games while Natasha took out her phone to find that the 700 dollars she had transferred to Zachary had been fully refunded to her.
She texted Zachary, "Why aren't you accepting my money, Mr. Foster? Is it not enough? Send me the receipt, and I'll transfer the full amount to you."
She waited for a while but did not get any response from him. She let out a sigh and gave up on the matter.
Xavier put down his phone, curious about what could have happened to push Natasha into such a state. "What's wrong? I've never seen you sigh like that even when we got stuck in experiments back at school."
"Just continue playing your games!"
Natasha logged into her social media account and saw the very last thing she wanted to see—a group photo.
Nicole had taken a photo with Matthew and Hayden, but it was clear that Molly had taken the photo for them.
The photo of the three of them standing together really did resemble that of a family photo.
What puzzled Natasha in particular was Molly herself. She wondered how Molly could be so gullible as to be fooled by Nicole of all people.
The viral article from earlier had also not died down yet.
She scrolled further and saw that Jack, who was known for rarely posting any updates, had posted a new photo. She tapped on it and studied it carefully. "Why does this background look so familiar?"
Xavier looked at the photo and recognized it as the hospital lobby he had passed through just now.
"He's at this hospital too?" Natasha asked with a frown.
It was the first time he had seen her worry about a guy. Curious, he asked, "What? Is he your boyfriend? Or is he someone you have a crush on?"
