Melody was aware that her schemes were bound to fall apart now that Cyrus and Nathaniel were in the picture, but she wasn’t giving up just yet. She continued to investigate Lucinda’s whereabouts in secret.
At last, her phone beeped with a new message-“Miss Hernandez, I have some news. The target is anticipated to make an appearance at an exclusive hospital in Gliethien. She left for the airport in a hurry and is likely to take a flight out of the city tonight.”
Melody sat up straight in the tub, causing the water to slosh around and on to the floor. She read the message again and again, her eyes narrowing with suspicion.
Noelle had been beaten pretty badly, but her injuries were not life-threatening in any way.
Any doctor in Forden worth his salt should be able to treat her.
Why, then, was Lucinda in a hurry to go to a prestigious hospital in another city in the dead of the night?
Melody immediately dialed Eleanor’s number, but the call would not connect.
“Always so useless at the most critical times!” She muttered in irritation before tossing her phone aside. She quickly got out of the bath and put on some clothes, and soon, she was driving to the hospital.
The VIP section was always quiet compared to the regular wards, and it was even more so during the night. After explaining her identity to the bodyguards stationed in the hallway, Melody stepped into Eleanor’s ward.
“Why did you turn off your phone?” Melody demanded the moment she saw Eleanor.
“I’ve been trying to reach you. It’s already so late, yet I had to drag my ass out here just to speak to you.”
“After that time when Nate overheard our conversation, he has been carefully monitoring my phone,” Eleanor offered feebly.
“There’s really nothing I can do about that. What brings you here, anyway? Is something wrong?”
Melody scoffed and rolled her eyes.
“Where do I even begin? It turns out that Lucinda is good at fighting. Those men were no match against her at all.”
The memory of that failed attempt brought a bitter taste to Melody’s mouth, and she was seething again.

“I sent my men to look into her movements, and they found out that she’s heading for a hospital in Gliethien tonight. Do you have any idea what she’s trying to do?”
Eleanor frowned, just as clueless about the whole situation.
“A hospital in Gliethien? Were your people mistaken, by any chance?”
“What the hell are you talking about?” Melody cried out in indignation.
“They’re the best espionage agents in the Hernandez family. There’s no way they would make a mistake!”
“Then why would she go to Gliethien? Wait… A hospital? The hospital in Gliethien!”
Something seemed to click in Eleanor’s mind, and she grew anxious.
“Send someone to the first VIP ward on the fourth floor to see if Jennifer Turner is still there! Hurry!”
