Chapter 292
Millie thought, “Well, that’s me again.”
“Who are her colleagues in the hospital?”
She and Joanna were the only two female doctors in the Cardiac Surgery department. Naturally, she would be the only plausible suspect.
She suggested, “Dr. Lloyd, I don’t think you should do the detective work.” If Sebastian kept going, he might eventually find her guilty.
She ran into an issue, as every single clue pointed toward her. Resting her cheek on her palm, she sighed deeply. “I can’t even sleep well over the weekends.”
“Do you want to take a few days off?” Sebastian cautiously inquired.
Taken aback, she would never do that, as she might only appear guilty. Not only that, she wanted to show up confidently in front of everyone.
“Did you not write the anonymous letter?” Even Sebastian started to doubt her innocence.
Feeling troubled, she flashed him a smile. “I’ll check out the control room.”
Right then, they heard a knock on the door. The staff in charge of the investigation entered.
“Is that the security footage?” Sebastian put on his glasses and saw a sliver of hope.
When he settled in front of his computer, the staff informed him, “Dr. Lloyd, according to the footage, no one entered your office this morning.”
“What are you talking about? Are you saying that the letter appeared out of thin air?” Sebastian looked irritated.
Millie watched him in silence from the couch. For the first time, she realized Sebastian was rather simple- minded and friendly. Before this, she always perceived hospital directors as aloof and haughty.
Her grandma, Layla, was a good example. Layla Cadmore was known in the field as a strict, merciless, and fearsome character.
*Did anyone swing by my office in the past few days?” Sebastian inquired.
The staff mused, “Um… I think you know the answer best.” On average, Sebastian only had a handful of daily visitors.
He widened his eyes. “Hey, I’m the hospital director here!”
Millie left his office soon after, as she couldn’t be bothered with their exchange.
Standing in the corridor, she scanned the surroundings. The security camera faced the office door and would certainly capture anyone who sneaked in.
Since the footage didn’t capture the culprit sneaking into the office alone, she assumed that someone else had dropped off the letter while visiting Sebastian
She arrived at the control room and looked through two days‘ worth of footage. Sebastian didn’t have many visitors. His office was a lonely place. Only the hospital shareholders or department heads would

visit him.
Wait a minute….
Millie thought she saw Lainey. She zoomed in and spotted Lainey visiting Sebastian’s office at 5:00 pm yesterday.
She hurriedly texted Lainey, “Dr. Quinn, where are you now?”
Lainey replied, “At the operating room. Just got out.”
Millie wrote, “Let’s meet up and talk,” Then, she recorded the footage on her phone before meeting with Lainey at the entrance of the operating room.
“Why are you in a hurry?” Lainey, who had just performed a surgery, didn’t hear about the latest scandal that broke in the hospital.
