“Delbert, it’s not necessary. Molly is still asleep and can’t eat,” Harriet. responded.
“That’s okay. Once it’s cleaned, I’ll peel it for you to eat,” Delbert replied.
Before Harriet could respond, Delbert immediately took the apple and walked toward the washroom.
Delbert turned the doorknob and opened it, but Joe was not hiding
there either.
‘Where did he go?’ Delbert wondered, his eyes darkening.
Soon, the apple was cleaned.
Delbert walked out of the washroom with the apple and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to
bring a knife.
“I remember there’s a supermarket near the hospital. I’ll go and buy a fruit knife,” he said.
Delbert placed the apple on the bedside table.

Under Harriet’s watchful gaze, Delbert walked out of the ward. It was
only after the door closed that Harriet breathed a sigh of relief.
She never thought Delbert would return.
Or perhaps he had never left, and he was just waiting for an opportunity.
‘Is he starting to suspect something?’ She thought.

With Delbert gone, Joe slowly emerged from behind the curtains.
“I’m sorry. If he sees me talking to you, I’m afraid he’ll suspect my identity,” Harriet apologized to Joe.
“It’s okay.” Joe walked over to check on Molly.
After putting down the stethoscope, Joe said, “After being injected with the B-type medication, she
should wake up in half an hour, but we still need to continue observing her condition to prevent a
relapse.”
“Okay, I understand,” Harriet said, heaving a sigh of relief.
“Rest assured! She will be okay,” Joe reassured her, patting her on the shoulder.
Harriet had always been calm and rational in front of him, but this
was the first time he saw her like this.
Harriet couldn’t leave for the next half an hour. She had to stay and observe Molly’s condition.
She took out her phone and sent a text message to Delbert.
[Delbert, I’m so hungry. Can you buy me some food from KFC?]
The nearest KFC to the hospital was half an hour away.
When Delbert received the text message, he was standing in front of the hospital monitor, observing
everything happening in the ward.

Although he knew little about the newly established King organization, he knew that anyone who
wanted to buy medication from King had to go through Joe..

Delben was disturbed when he saw on the monitor Joe patting
Harriet’s shoulder
The monitor could only display video not audio
Delben didn’t know what they were discussing, but from Harriet’s reluctance to let him enter Molly
sward and the text message she had just sent, he knew the two people were keeping a secret from
him.
