Meanwhile, Jonathan brought the three children out of the hospital.
He was familiar with the surroundings as he often visited all the hospitals for inspection, so he took them to a nearby fast-food restaurant.
They had just reached the entrance of the café next door when they bumped into three people coming out of it.
A look of panic flashed across Frieda’s and Aubree’s faces, and they instinctively glanced in Cory’s direction because they were not sure if Jonathan had ever met him.
If Jonathan is also involved in the investigation of Cory, then we really won’t be able to hide the truth.
However, Cory was much calmer than the two of them.
When he saw Jonathan, he did not even stop and walked straight past Aubree and Frieda, acting as if they were strangers who just happened to come out of the café together.
He did it so naturally that Jonathan did not spare it further thought but just looked at the two people in front of him with furrowed brows.
“Jonathan.”
“Hi.”
They both bit the bullet and greeted him out of guilt.
Jonathan cocked his head slightly before saying ambiguously, “What a coincidence! I was wondering why you hadn’t come up sooner, Frieda. I see that it’s because you have met a friend here.”
After saying that, he gave his sister a meaningful look.
Frieda nodded stiffly. “I didn’t know when you and Lucian would finish talking, so I thought of having a coffee outside while waiting, but I wasn’t expecting to run into Aubree.”
Jonathan shifted his gaze to Aubree and said casually, “It’s late. What are you doing here?”
