Lane's face slightly changed upon hearing this. "She's dead?"
Yanis nodded. "In the restroom."
Lane glanced at Andrew, took out his phone to call the police.
At this moment, Andrew, holding the child, broke through the crowd and tried to run.
Lane reacted quickly, stepping forward and restraining Andrew. Making sure not to harm the child, Lane pushed Andrew against a nearby pillar and firmly held onto the blanket wrapped around the baby. He spoke in a deep voice, "Give me the child!"
Andrew, of course, wouldn't easily give in. He even disregarded the child's safety and forcefully pushed Lane away, rushing towards the exit.
Andrew didn't care about the child's well-being, but Lane couldn't ignore it. When Andrew pushed him with force, Lane didn't resist, allowing Andrew to successfully escape through the door.
Because Andrew was holding the child, the security guard couldn't take immediate action and could only surround him.
Yanis, watching Andrew's reaction, suddenly thought of Aunt Rivers and discreetly took out her phone to dial Aunt Rivers' number.
The phone rang for a long time before Aunt Rivers finally answered. "Miss Thompson?" Aunt Rivers' voice came through the phone.
Yanis replied in a low voice and asked, "Aunt Rivers, where are you right now?"
Aunt Rivers responded, "I'm on my way to the hospital. I cooked some soup for Nancy at home and brought it over. Dr. Watson said she could have some soup today."
Aunt Rivers sounded very cheerful in the phone call, perhaps because both Nancy and the child's conditions had improved.
Yanis, unsure of how to tell Aunt Rivers that Andrew had killed Nancy, listened to her words but didn't know how to respond.
"Miss Thompson, do you have something to tell me? Is it about the divorce between Group Captain and Nancy?" Aunt Rivers proactively asked when Yanis remained silent for a while.
Yanis glanced at Andrew, who was surrounded by security guards and onlookers, and whispered, "No."
"Is it something else? Is it about Group Captain or Nancy?" Aunt Rivers' voice became noticeably anxious.
Yanis gathered her emotions before speaking, "Aunt Rivers, Nancy is dead."
Upon hearing this, a loud crashing sound came from the other end of the phone, followed by the sound of car horns blaring.
Yanis's heart tightened. "Aunt Rivers, are you okay?"
After a long pause, Aunt Rivers' voice finally came through the phone again. "Miss Thompson, what did you just say?"
Yanis didn't immediately answer Aunt Rivers' question but asked, "Aunt Rivers, are you driving right now?"
Aunt Rivers's voice trembled. "Miss Thompson, you just said... said Nancy... What happened to Nancy?"
"She's dead. She died in the restroom of her hospital room," Yanis said and fell silent for a few seconds before continuing, "Where are you? Shall I come and pick you up?"
"I... I'm about to reach the hospital at the next intersection," Aunt Rivers replied, then asked in a low voice, "And the child? Where's Group Captain?"
"He... He was about to leave with the child. We couldn't stop him for fear of hurting the child," Yanis explained.
Upon hearing Yanis's words, Aunt Rivers anxiously said, "Miss Thompson, could you please hand the phone to Group Captain? I want to talk to him."
Yanis hesitated but agreed. "Alright, Aunt Rivers, please wait a moment."
