Chapter 167

Albert and Madeline were on their way to Blue Sky Mental Hospital. The latter had spent the entiredrive reading over information on the hospital the former had supplied. Based on what she hadgathered, the hospital was located in the northern suburbs of Imperia. Owing to the hospital’s sensitivenature, visits were strictly by appointment, even for visiting patients. Hence, it would not be possible forthem to enter without reason and conduct the investigation.

Coincidentally, the hospital had been receiving funding from the Charity Association since three yearsago. Madeline finally found a reason to pay a visit to the hospital.

“Albert, phone the hospital in your

position as a Charity Association

member,” she instructed.

“Okay, Ms. Grant.”

“I think we need a change of clothes,” Madeline glanced at Albert and said excitedly.

The duo arrived at their destination half an hour later. Madeline was dressed in professional attire, herwavy hair neatly tied up in a bun. To perfect the look, she adorned black spectacles and put on somelight makeup.

When she saw someone walking toward the hospital entrance, she turned off the car engine andhurried around to the other side to pull the door open for Albert.

“We have arrived, Mr. Wright!” Madeline made a polite bow, playing the role of a well-trainedsubordinate.

As Albert stepped out of his car, an aura of confidence and power radiated from him. He moved withpurpose, his head

held high and his eyes fixed on the horizon. The woman was secretly pleased with his ability to act therole well.

“Welcome, Mr. Wright! We have been waiting for your arrival!” A man greeted his guests with a heartywelcome. He extended his hand, but Albert ignored the gesture. Despite the rejection, the manmaintained his upbeat attitude. “I’m Elijah Jacot, Assistant CEO of Blue Sky Mental Hospital. It’s myhonor to finally meet you in person, Mr. Wright. I’ve heard many wonderful stories about you.”

Albert nodded and replied casually, “Hello, Mr. Jacot. Why don’t we go Inside and carry on theconversation?”

“Allow me to show you the way, Mr. Wright.” Elijah relaxed slightly when his guest finally acknowledgedhis

presence.

I thought Mr. Wright would be a difficult man to deal with. However, he appears to be a newcomer tothe scene. Experienced arrogant leaders would never call me “Mr. Jacot.” No wonder the subordinatehe has brought along is dressed so poorly. However, she does have a good figure.

Madeline trailed Albert and successfully entered Blue Sky Mental Hospital. During the drive here, shehad roughly memorized the floor plan. The

administrative office was in the middle of the three main buildings, while the resource center andmedical storage room were in the other two. All the patients and medical personnel were located in thecenter building. There were a total of seven floors. The first floor was the main hall, followed by fiveward floors. The management executive

and special care ward were located on the top floor.

Based on the intel from James, someone had intentionally hidden Angie in Blue Sky Mental Hospital.Madeline deduced that she was likely to be in the special care ward.

When Elijah led the two into the main hall, he said politely, “Mr. Wright, why don’t we take a break in myoffice? I’ve made plans for lunch. We’ll be able to go in half an hour.” He could only make the lunchplans at the last minute because it was an unexpected visit. If he had his way, he would have Albertsent directly to the restaurant without having to enter the hospital. After all, he could not afford to makeany mistakes in this critical period.

“There’s no need for that, Mr. Jacot. Our chairman has charged me with

researching the organizations that the charity supports. We are willing to increase our financing fororganizations that have solid ideas but lack the resources to put them into action. I’m running on a tightschedule, so lunch would not be necessary,” Albert said solemnly as he followed Elijah into theelevator.

Although Elijah was disappointed by the man’s rejection of lunch, his mood lifted when he learnedabout the possibility of more funds. “Mr. Wright, you are a man of responsibility and competence. Allthese years, the hospital has been endeavoring to enrich the quality of life and realize a better society.I’m sure we would be able to do more if given additional funding.”

When Albert noticed Elijah going to hit the top floor elevator button, he replied, “The former directoralso praised the

hospital. Could you please show me around? We must carry out our responsibilities.”

“Well…” Elijah mumbled.

When Albert noticed his expression turned sour, he probed, “Is it

inconvenient for us to tour around the hospital?”

“Of course not, Mr. Wright. As you know, our patients are mentally-ill. I’m afraid…” Elijah saidnervously.

“This is just a routine practice. There’s no need to be concerned. Nobody needs the extra funds morethan your hospital,” Albert assured.

Elijah was delighted to hear the good news. The Charity Association is made up of stupid loadedindividuals. The majority of them come from upper-class

families in their respective nations. They are not only wealthy but also exceedingly generous. Overlunch three years ago, I persuaded the former director to donate 500 million dollars to the hospitalevery year. Since the CEO of the hospital has gone missing, I call the shots around here. All the moneyis going into my pocket. It’s so easy to get rich!

The man could not conceal his happiness as he thought of his evil plan. He pressed the second-floorelevator button, figuring it would not hurt to show Albert around. The tour was going to be a breeze asevery room was locked.

Everyone went out of the elevator when It arrived at the destination. Elijah was so focused on pleasingAlbert that he failed to notice Madeline had remained In the elevator. She pressed the top floor buttonafter the doors had closed.

Even though everything was going as planned, Madeline had the sense that something was wrong.However, considering how far they’d come, there was no going back. The top priority was to replace Angie.

Madeline leaned against the elevator wall, putting herself hidden from the elevator’s surveillancecamera. She then took out her phone and configured the surveillance camera to shut down threeseconds later. Next, she removed the button from her shirt and lightly tapped it. Her professional attireinstantly morphed into the hospital’s nurse costume she had previously filmed.

Ding!

Madeline took off her sunglasses and mask when the elevator door opened. She then checked thethermal Indicator on her phone to make sure no one was

nearby. When the coast was clear, the woman exited the elevator and made her way to the surveillancecamera. However, as soon as she stepped out, someone strangled her with golden threads.

“We meet again, pretty lady!”
