"How is she now?" Rory asks the doctor. She doesn't want to think nonsense anymore.
"Actually, she is alright. But she is too weak to do much for the time being. Also, don't ask her to do things that may exhaust her. I'll prescribe some medicine for her, and she needs to have recuperation. She'll be fine after resting for a few days." After giving some simple instructions, the doctor leaves.
Upon leaving the ward, John sees a sneaky figure, which turns out to be the director. Why does she suddenly appear here? John begins to think why Miya is locked in the backyard's utility room for no reason. Normally, people rarely pass through that room, and its door is a bit broken. How can Miya run over by herself? Undoubtedly, the director must be behind Miya's accident.
Although he doesn't know what is on the director's mind, he has a growing detest for her.
John directly walks over.
"Director, what are you doing here?"
"You made such a big commotion just now, so I came here to check the situation." Actually, she just comes here to see if that woman is dead or not. If Miya dies, she will gloat over her misfortune. Even if Miya is still alive, the director believes that she must be severely injured.
"You seem to be quite concerned about her,"
John says in a sarcastic tone.
The director can tell there is a touch of sarcasm in his voice. She doesn't expect him to be so arrogant. How dare he even question her? However, she is reluctant to waste so much time talking nonsense with him.
This man is much shrewder than she has imagined. She is afraid that her daughter will easily be fooled by him.
"I suddenly remember that I have to deal with other things. I must leave now." The director knows the best way is to get away from him.
However, John doesn't let her plot succeed this time. He stands in front of the director to stop her from moving forward.
"Director, you can feel free to ask me for help if you run into difficulties. Maybe I can help you think of a way."
'Can this guy let me go?' the director thinks to herself in anxiety.
"You must be the one who locked Miya up in the backyard's utility room," John says outspokenly.
It surprises the director that John comes straight to the point without beating around the bush. It seems that he has run out of his patience.
Since he is so frank with her, she knows that she cannot continue to play dumb.
"I didn't expect you to discover this. But why did you save Miya?"
For some reason, when John hears this, anger surges through him all of a sudden.
