"Yeah, it's me," Grace said. "How's Carson's condition?"
"He's fine now," Vivian said. "The doctor said he can go back after staying in the hospital for a few more days. Grace, why haven't I seen you recently?"
"I'm in Seefer City right now," Grace said.
"Seefer City?" Vivian said as she widened her eyes in slight surprise. She thought, 'Isn't that my hometown?'
"Yes, Vivian," Grace said. "Too many things have happened recently... I'm physically and emotionally exhausted." As she spoke, she choked up.
"How come you ended up in Seefer City?" Vivian said. "And why are you calling me from a landline?"
"My phone fell into the sea," Grace said. "I'm at Central Hospital in Seefer City right now."
Vivian knew that Grace must have been through a lot, but it wasn't something that could be explained clearly over the phone in a short amount of time.
"Are you injured?" she said. "How come you are in the hospital?"
Grace said, "It's Brian..." She could not help but choke up when she thought of Brian's current state.
Vivian hurriedly said, "Grace, don't cry. Do you have any money with you right now?"
"Don't worry," Grace said. "I still have money. I'll return once Brian's condition stabilizes a bit."
With that said, Grace hung up.
Carson came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. When he saw Vivian in a daze, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's your sister," Vivian said. "It seems like she's in some trouble. Both she and Brian are in Seefer City. It appears that Brian is hospitalized."
Carson frowned and said, "Isn't that your hometown?"
"Yep," Vivian said. "I'm also puzzled. Why did the two of them go there? It's not a tourist area, and there's no business to develop."
Upon hearing that Brian was hospitalized, Carson was certain that something bad had happened. He said worriedly, "I'll check out of the hospital tomorrow. We'll pick them up."
Vivian hesitated for a moment. She said, "But your illness..."
"There's nothing serious about my illness," Carson said. "I've almost recovered."
He walked over to the bed. With the IV tube in one hand and the syringe in the other, he injected the liquid from the syringe into the IV tube.
Just then, the door suddenly opened.
Vivian saw the figure standing by the bedside, and her heart skipped a beat. "Who are you?" she said. "What are you doing?"
The man quickly turned around and put away the syringe in his hand, pocketing it into his coat.
Vivian frowned as she asked, "What did you put in his medicine?"
"Someone... Mmm..."
Just as Vivian was about to call for help, the man covered her mouth.
"Mmm..."
Vivian was restrained by his powerful force and could not move. She could only see the man's sinister and narrow eyes.
