My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1384

Stephen didn't give Simona a chance to respond before he hurriedly ended the call. From the tone of his voice, he seemed genuinely anxious. But after hanging up, Simona's face turned pale.

If she couldn't sense something was off at this moment, she would truly be naïve. She knew she should visit the hospital.

Yet, she hesitated. Going to the hospital meant confronting whatever was about to unfold, and she questioned whether she could handle it. That was one concern.

More importantly, she wanted to trust Stephen. Most of her classmates had a very positive impression of him and acknowledged his capabilities.

However, she began to doubt whether he really liked her as much as she had once believed. At first, she was confident about it, but now…

She bit her lip, recalling what Skylar had said earlier. Sometimes, she had to trust her instincts. Her instinct was telling her that Stephen had a secret, possibly related to his uncle in the hospital.

After all, he wouldn't have kept his uncle's name a secret. With this thought in mind, Simona raised her hand and flagged down a cab.

…

When Skylar returned to Galaxy Villa, she noticed two unfamiliar cars parked outside. Confused, she didn't enter right away. Instead, she called Joe.

After a few rings, Joe picked up. Skylar asked softly, "There are guests at home, right?"

Joe's voice was gentle as he replied, "Yes."

Skylar decisively said, "Let me know when the guests leave. I want to check on my mom."

"Sure, go ahead," Joe answered.

At the Attentive Hospital, Simona headed straight to meet the director, Heath Crawford. She was acquainted with the director of this hospital.

After exchanging some pleasantries, she explained that she was looking for a recently admitted male patient around 50 years old with the last name Pearce. Knowing what she was after, Heath instructed his staff to look into it.

However, after checking, they found no newly admitted male patients with the last name Pearce in that age range. Noticing Simona's confusion, Heath asked his staff to verify again and received a definitive answer.

There was no such patient.

Simona left the hospital without truly understanding how she had gotten there or how she ended up back at school.

She could have called Aiken to investigate Stephen's uncle, but uncertainty gripped her.
