On the other hand, Isabelle was beginning to feel worried deep down as she recalled that John had seen and known
Dexter. He must have seen someone who looks exactly like Dexter, or he wouldn’t have called. At the thought of
that, Isabelle quickly called Dexter’s school to confirm her suspicion.
Nevertheless, her brother’s teacher appeared to be unaware of the matter. “Dexter said he wasn’t feeling well, so
he was permitted to leave the class and rest in the infirmary, but we don’t know where he really went after that.”
The teacher’s reply unnerved Isabelle even more, so she quickly asked the schoolteacher to help find Dexter. After
that, she made another call to Dexter, but to no avail, as no one picked up the phone. Soon, she anxiously stood up
and left her office in a hurry, running into Old Mr. Bailey in the corridor.
At that time, Old Mr. Bailey happened to be discussing some important matter with his assistant in a solemn
manner. When he saw Isabelle in a panic, he knitted his brows and asked, “What’s wrong? Why do you look so
panicky?”
Isabelle had no idea why her fingers wouldn’t stop shivering. She then gazed at Old Mr. Bailey and told him her
concern. “I can’t reach Dexter. I’m worried about him.”
Nonetheless, Old Mr. Bailey appeared unconcerned about that as he waved his hand. “That little brat is probably
hiding somewhere because he is upset or something. He’ll be fine after a while.” After that, he summoned his

how to appreciate his good life and stop creating trouble!”
While Old Mr. Bailey dismissed Isabelle’s suspicion, she still couldn’t put her mind to ease. After brief contemplation,
she decided to leave the office and make her way to Dexter’s school. On her way there, she received a call from
the teacher, who told her that Dexter had just gone missing and that the school had dispatched the other teachers
to search for him.
Overwhelmed by her panic, Isabelle picked up her pace and arrived at the school gate to see Dexter’s teacher
waiting for her. Then, she was told that the security footage showed Dexter leaving school by himself.
Although there were blind spots around the school that the surveillance cameras failed to capture, Dexter’s
silhouette could still be seen in the footage. Thus, it was confirmed that the boy left the school by climbing over the
wall.
Soon, Isabelle was reminded of what John told her over the phone. So, she quickly left the school and drove to the
hospital. While the hospital was crowded with people, she left her car in front of the entrance and rushed to the
emergency department. At the same time, the emergency room was in chaos as every medical staff member was
busy with their job.
Then, Isabelle quickly seized the hand of one of the nurses and asked whether there was a boy who had been
admitted to the hospital due to a car accident. The nurse looked at Isabelle and calmly replied, “You must be his
family member.
Great, we’ve been trying to contact his next of kin, but to no avail. Here, this way.” The nurse stuck out her finger
and pointed somewhere, whereupon Isabelle immediately ran in that direction.
While there were many doctors and patients in the emergency department, Isabelle went straight to the corner
with the most medical personnel. After that, she could vaguely hear from one of the doctors that the patient
needed some epinephrine along with some other medical terms she couldn’t understand. Thus, she only shoved
them aside and set her eyes on the patient in the bed shortly before she froze in shock.
Oh my gosh! It’s Dexter! In that instant, Isabelle was shaking from head to toe as she couldn’t even properly speak.
“W-What’s going on? S-Shouldn’t he be in school?” Then, she snapped out of her trance and seized the doctor’s
hand. “Please save him, doctor! Please! We can pay you no matter how much you need. Please just save him!”
Nevertheless, the doctors only took her aside and continued to rescue the dying victim.
