Chapter 117
Just before heading out that morning, Mirabella had told Zach that she planned to spend the day at the hospital
keeping Catherine company, and had politely declined his offer to pick her up from school. So, as soon as the
class was over, Mirabella hailed a cab and made her way to the hospital.
But the moment she pushed open the door to the hospital room and saw its emptiness, with even the bed sheets
neatly folded at the foot of the bed, her expression flickered with concern,
She was stunned for a moment, and her thoughts raced to Catherine’s reaction the day before. A tight sensation
gripped her chest as she pulled out her phone and quickly dialed a number.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off...”
Taking a deep breath, Mirabella ended the call, pocketed her phone, and turned to leave the
room.

At the nurses’ station, she approached the on-duty nurse with a calm demeanor. “Excuse me, do you know
where | can find Catherine from room 503?” There was a steadiness in her voice, betraying no hint of the worry
she felt inside.
The nurse was momentarily taken aback by Mirabella’s stunning beauty, but quickly recovered and flipped
through the records beside her. “Oh, Mrs. Catherine was discharged this morning,” she replied.
When Mirabella heared this, her brows furrowed even more. She thanked the nurse and, without any hesitation,
strode towards the elevator.
The nurse watched Mirabella’s retreating figure, shaking her head in admiration. “That girl's beauty is on another
level. She could give Hollywood stars a run for their money,” she murmured.
“What's caught your eye?” asked another nurse who had just returned from the restroom, noticing her
colleague’s fixated gaze. Since Mirabella had already disappeared around the corner, the second nurse had
missed her.
The first nurse, still captivated, said, “I just saw this gorgeous girl - like an angel. My heart was racing when she
looked at me.”
The other nurse chuckled. “Really, that tic?” She casually took a sip of water, then added, “Speaking of
angelic beauty, Mrs. Catherine’s granddaughter is a knockout. Catherine is the patient who has just been
discharged from room 503 this morning. You probably haven't seen her granddaughter since you work days. I've
got a photo of her. Letshow you...”
As she spoke, the nurse pulled out her phone and displayed a secretly snapped photo. “Look at this. Isn't she
gorgeous? It's just a side face, but she’s so photogenic.”
The nurse was familiar with Mirabella, finding her truly captivating. Her aura was an intriguing mix of feminine
and masculine, and she carried herself with a graceful, polite demeanor that

subtly commanded attention. Whenever Mirabella visited, the nurse made sure to dote on Catherine a bit more
than usual, hoping to catch her attention indirectly. And, quite secretly, she often snapped pictures of Mirabella
when she wasn’t looking.

“That's her, the very girl | just saw,” the first nurse confirmed, recognizing Mirabella in the photo.
The second nurse's face changed. “Where did she go?”
Pointing towards the elevator, the first nurse replied, “Right when you cback, she just got
in.”
“Oh no, why didn’t you tellearlier? Mrs. Catherine left something forto pass on to her,” the second nurse
said, slapping her forehead in frustration.
The first nurse touched her nose sheepishly. “You didn’t tell me... But she can’t have gone far. Hurry, you might
catch her.”
With a quick nod, the second nurse stowed her phone, grabbed an envelope from the drawer, and hurried
towards the elevator.
