"Okay." The receptionist did not expect Chad to be so meticulous.
Chad went to the surveillance room to check on the footage. He took a photo with his phone and sent it to Elliot.
The old man looked extremely foreign to Chad. They most probably had not met each other before.
Elliot received Chad's photo. After looking at it for a while. He replied with a question mark.
Chad: [Mr. Foster, do you know this man? He came looking for you at the office just now.]
Elliot tapped into the photo and zoomed in once more. Seeing the man's face, he replied, [I don't know him. Why is he looking for me?]
Chad: [The receptionist said that he has a strong accent. He should be a foreigner. He said that his daughter has something to say to you.]
Elliot: [I don't know him. I don't know his daughter either. I have no female friends in Bridgedale.]
Chad: [Alright. I'll just ignore him.]
At the hospital, Dean felt more alive after the drip. He got out of bed and paced around for a little while.
Perhaps he was anxious, but after pacing around for a while, he felt a little dizzy, so he returned to bed and rested.
Not long after, Mary was brought to his ward.
When Dean saw Mary's tied hands, he immediately glared at his men. "What the hell are you doing? Mary is considered my half-daughter. You bunch of useless beings! How dare you treat her this way! Let her go!"
One of his men went closer to Dean and explained in a soft voice, "Miss Hills wanted to run. We tied her only out of desperation."
When Dean heard his explanation, he immediately smiled at Mary widely.
"Impossible!” Dean could not accept her reply. "Didn't she ever tell you about her research and her way to control Elliot?"
Mary shook her head. "Uncle Dean, I do not know anything about medicine. Even if she had told me, I wouldn't understand. Maybe because she knows I don't understand, so
she didn't tell me anything
"Mary, I'll advise you to think properly once more. If you're not going to tell me
anything, I surely won't let you go. You are still young. You haven't gotten married and have children. Are you planning to sacrifice your bright future for Angela?
Don’t answer me! Think properly before speaking!"
"Uncle Dean, why won't you believe me? Your men have already searched my house. If I have anything left by my mom, they would have long since found it," Mary said with reddened eyes. "Uncle Dean, even if you kill me, I won't be able to give you the things that you want!"
