Chapter 133 That Girl From the Pantry
Damien gave Anne quite a big sum of money in order for the latter to keep his meeting with Theresa a secret. He also had Anne call Clarissa again at night and inform Clarissa of her mother waking up from coma.
Despite her confusion, Anne agreed and didn’t ask any questions.
Damien then ordered his assistants to do a thorough background check on Steven Johnson.
Six years ago, Damien injured his cornea by accident. The hospital told him there was a shortage of corneas, so he was forced to wait.
He didn’t tell anyone about his condition, not even his grandparents.
Of course, this also included his parents who were currently working overseas at that time.
It was literally the darkest period of his life. He was basically living in darkness every day, waiting for his turn to get a cornea transplant.
One day, when he was getting hot water from the pantry, he got distracted and caused the water to overflow. He burnt his hands in the process.
“The water’s overflowing.” A gentle voice sounded from behind him. Listening closely, it sounded like she was fresh from crying.
Then again, it was normal to hear someone crying in the hospital.
She turned off the water tap and helped to wipe the hot water off his hands.
Then, she returned the water mug back to him before leaving.
He remembered smelling a soapy fragrance from that girl.
Damien then took up the responsibility to care for Madelynn and her mother.
He even got into a relationship with Madelynn at some point, but he always found it odd that Madelynn felt so unfamiliar. Oftentimes, he couldn’t move on from the short period of time he had spent with that mysterious girl in the pantry. After all, the girl wasn’t as talkative as Madelynn.
Damien’s assistant called him, and told him that Steven Johnson was indeed a patient of the hospital. However, there was no record of this. It was as if Steven never existed.
“Someone must have deleted his record, President Lawrence. I will keep on investigating,” the assistant said.
Damien hung up. If his assumptions were correct, Madelynn was the one who deleted the records.
As for now, he really wanted to know if Clarissa was that girl from the pantry, or if it was someone else. After all, there were a lot of people in the hospital.
