Chapter 348 He Looks Like Abigail’s Brother
The next day, when Kelly arrived at Metro Hospital, Josh got out of another car. She hadn’t. mentioned her visit to the library that morning. Instead, she told her brother she was meeting at friend and asked him not to worry. Initially, he had no intentions of following her, but he couldn’t help himself.
His suspicions grew as he followed his sister. She had only been in Pendorf for a few days, making it unlikely that she had formed a deep connection with someone so quickly. Furthermore, her carly morning visit to the hotel for breakfast indicated that this friend held significant importance in her life.
Josh followed Kelly into the hospital and eventually saw her entering Room 602. He approached the payment counter and asked the doctor sincerely, “Excuse me, has the fee for Room 602 not been paid? My sister said her friend staying in this room hadn’t settled the bill yet and asked me to help pay it. However, I’m not sure if this is the right room or not. Could you please check it for me?”
The doctor searched on the computer for a moment and then replied, “Are you sure you are not mistaken? An elderly lady occupies room 602. There’s no way your sister’s friend would be that old.”
Josh expressed his confusion, stating, “But I just saw her entering Room 602. She even told me to make the payment.”
After a brief silence, the doctor said, “Sir, the patient in Room 602 is a special case and doesn’t need to pay. Your sister must have made a mistake. I suggest you ask her about it.”
“Thank you. I’ll ask her about it.” Then, Josh turned around and left. He wandered through the hospital corridors, devoting about half an hour to exploring the facility. During his investigation. he uncovered the exclusive nature of the wards in Building 1. These rooms were exclusively reserved for affluent individuals who had either invested in or made significant contributions to the hospital. Remarkably, patients on the sixth floor or higher were exempt from any admission fees.
In Pendorf, only three people could stay on the sixth floor. Among these, two were unknown to him, while the third was Sean. After laying eyes on Sean’s name on the directory, Josh fell into contemplative silence. He carefully pocketed his phone and, with determination, headed toward Room 602.
Inside the ward, Kelly engaged in a conversation with Lina. Suddenly, Josh appeared at the door and asked, “What are you doing here, Kelly?” Having previously investigated Abigail, he was well- acquainted with the Grahams, thus recognizing Lina.
Kelly turned around and was surprised to see him, “Josh, did you follow me here?”
He nodded, and his gaze wandered briefly over Lina before fixing it back on Kelly. “I was worried

about you. After all, you’re not familiar with Pendorf.”
