"I'm not sure of the details.Three days ago, Ms.Rivers broke down after she left Stanford Hospital.When I checked the security footage of the hospital, I saw Ms.Rivers crying uncontrollably.After that, she applied for leave from you and headed back to her parents’ place.As such, my guess is that what happened to Ms.Rivers could be related to Dr.Quinn from Stanford Hospital? Asher replied.
Natalie nodded and said, "All right.I'll keep that in mind.Thanks for your hard work.I'll transfer you the remaining payment in a while"
"Sure, thank you."
After the call ended, a crease appeared between Natalie's brows as she put down her phone.
Initially, the woman had thought that Joyce was acting strangely because she had run into some trouble.
It turned out that they had come one full circle as it was because of Stanley instead.
Natalie suspected that something must have happened on the day Joyce spoke to Stanley; otherwise, Joyce would not have acted that way.
With that thought, the woman picked up her phone and rang Stanley.
However, she wasn't able to contact him as his phone was still turned off.
Natalie could not help but feel frustrated.
Even if he wanted to find the killer, he didn't have to switch off his phone and cut himself off from the rest of the world.
While the woman was deep in thought, Mrs.Wilson's voice rang out from outside the door.
"Madam, are you awake already?"
Snapping out of her thoughts, Natalie looked toward the door and answered, "Yup, I am."
"Then, do you want to come down and have breakfast first?" Mrs.Wilson suggested.
"Sure, I'll be down in a minute, Natalie replied.After hearing the woman's answer, Mrs.Wilson turned around and went downstairs.Natalie put down her phone and continued getting changed.Forget it.Since I can't get Stanley, I shall speak to Joyce instead.I shall ask her to come back and have a good chat with her.
Perhaps, she will tell me what happened between her and Stanley, and I'll be able to help her.
After Natalie got dressed, she put on some light makeup before heading downstairs.
While she was having breakfast, she texted Joyce, asking her to return to J City for work.
Meanwhile, Joyce was watching a movie with Justin at his request.
When she saw Natalie's message, they had just finished watching the movie and were walking out of the cinema.
"Justin, let's sit over there for a while.I need to reply to a message, Joyce said, pointing at a bench in front of them.
