The man had a bad attitude. Penelope winked at Meredith and walked up to him, secretly stuffing him with some cash.
Seeing this, Meredith felt it was right to bring Penelope here.
The man hesitated.
"We want to check the files. We won't cause you any trouble."
The man touched cash in his hand and thought it wasn't a big deal. "You can only read the files and hand over your phones before you go in. I can't bear the consequences if any of you take photos."
Both of them promised. Anyway, they were not here for any secret investigation. What they wanted was to find out the information about the pregnant women that gave birth that day.
The man brought them into the archives. Meredith told him the date, and the man frowned. "There's probably nothing left after a long time long. You can go inside and look for it yourself."
Meredith, who was feeling annoyed by someone staring at her, nodded and walked over.
The files were something from more than 20 years ago. They had been messy since the hospital moved and merged, and no one had tidied them up.
They went in, and there was dust everywhere. After coughing for a while, Penelope waved her hand. "It looks like we're going to have a hard time finding what we want. Thank god you brought me here, right? Otherwise, you would be exhausted if you find it alone."
"I know. Thanks to you, it went so smoothly. I'll treat you to dinner when we're done."
Penelope smiled smugly, and both of them started searching for information.
Meredith rummaged through a lot of things and finally found a booklet about pregnant women's childbirth. She took a look at it and exclaimed, "Right! That's it."
The booklet in her hand was wrinkled and yellowed over time, the paper was fragile, and the handwriting was blurry, making it difficult to identify.
