Chapter 301 - St Mary's Hospital
Leon looked angry when he saw the CCTV. In the CCTV footage, it was clear that Anne just left without informing anyone.
"Does she often leave without information like this?" Leon asked coldly to the HR staff who he had called to watch the CCTV footage while looking for Anne.
"No sir, I just saw her do this. Even though I know Miss Anne is a very disciplined and diligent worker. I really didn't think that she could do something like this," answered Priscilla, the HR staff, honestly.
Bam!
"Find out where she is! Order her to come back to the office. She can't act like that, this office has rules and everyone has to obey every rule that is made." Leon's jaw hardened as he spoke.
With a pale face, Priscilla agreed to the CEO's order. Not long after that, she left Leon's room to carry out the order she had just received. Aaron and Daniel, who had not finished meeting with Leon, could hear all the words of Leon with his staff. He was even currently trying to contact Anne for the umpteenth time. But Anne didn't pick the calls up, even though he tried to calm down, his heart was also very restless and Daniel realized it.
"Relax, I'll help you track her down," Daniel whispered suddenly.
Aaron, who had been focused on his cell phone, immediately turned to Daniel with sparkling eyes.
"Do it right now, Daniel!!!"
"Yes sir!!"
After answering Aaron's words quickly, Daniel then took out his laptop again and began tracking Anne's whereabouts via satellite. He looked for Anne by tracking the whereabouts of Anne's cell phone signal, but because Anne's cell phone battery was currently very weak due to continuous calls from the Ganke Inc. Production HR staff, Daniel ended up having a bit of trouble. And finally Anne's cell phone signal was completely out of reach of Daniel.
"How's it, Daniel?" Aaron asked curiously.
"I failed, Boss, looks like Miss Anne's cell phone is dead," Daniel answered quickly.
Aaron closed his eyes spontaneously to cover his extreme disappointment. But suddenly he opened them again.
"Taxi, quickly find the taxi that Anne used to go. We can find some info from the taxi driver, Daniel!" said Aaron quite loudly because he was too excited.
"Ah! Why didn't I think of that?!!" Daniel screamed in surprise.
"Come on, Daniel, look for Anne's whereabouts through the taxi. Look through the CCTV of this office, I'm sure the taxi that took Anne away must be clearly recorded."
Daniel was again busy with his laptop. He tried to hack Leon's company CCTV to find out where Anne was at this time. Meanwhile, in his room, Leon was still trying to calm himself down. Emotions had completely overtaken him at this time. Luckily, there was Wayne who was trying to find out where Anne was. Because the laptop that he had installed with the illegal program was not taken by Anne, Wayne had a little trouble. But he did not run out of ideas. Using high technology that he mastered, Wayne tried to find Anne's whereabouts using a facial scanner with the help of CCTV installed on the streets of London. He hoped to find Anne's whereabouts quickly using that method, and so did Daniel. He was still trying to penetrate Ganke Inc. Production's CCTV security system, to find the taxi that Anne was taking. The two of them were doing their master's job well, both of whom were looking for the same woman. The difference was that Leon wanted to know Anne's whereabouts because he was filled with anger and various unwarranted accusations against Anne, while Aaron was very worried for Anne. Seeing how pale and worried Anne's face was when she left earlier, he felt that something bad was happening to Anne. That was why Aaron tried to find Anne's whereabouts so he could go straight to her. He had once thought bad things about Anne, and now Aaron didn't want to repeat the same thing. He wanted to fix everything and start a new relationship with Anne from scratch, regardless of Anne's current status.

< St. Mary's Hospital >
Meanwhile, at St Mary's Hospital, Paul's surgery went smoothly. The stab wound in his stomach was successfully treated by doctors. Even though he was still in the emergency room, Paul was able to be visited.
"Luckily this man was immediately taken to the hospital, I don't know what will happen if he is brought here too late," said a female doctor who helped Paul to Anne.
"B-but you said earlier that the stab wound didn't hit a vital organ and wasn't too deep, Doc, but now why are you saying that?" asked Anne stammering. She couldn't believe she would hear such a sentence from the middle aged doctor who was in front of her at the moment.
"Indeed, the wound was not too deep and did not affect vital organs, but because the wound in his stomach was wide enough that he could bleed out. Luckily, this lady immediately took him to the hospital, because if we were a little late, we would have big problems. Because the blood from the patient is a rare blood type and the stock in our hospital is very limited," the doctor replied kindly, explaining to Anne about Paul's actual condition.
"Thank God, I'm glad to hear that. Thank you very much for your help, Doc." Anne sincerely thanked the doctor again for helping Paul.
"No need to thank me, Miss, this is part of my job. Well then, I'll excuse myself, and one more thing, right now the patient is still sleeping due to the influence of the IV, so you don't have to worry, tell the patient's lover who hasn't stopped crying since then," said the doctor gently with a friendly smile.
Anne widened her smile. "Of course, Doc, I will tell my friend."
The friendly doctor left after talking to Anne. She had to continue her other work. Anne went back into the emergency room and immediately sat down beside Linda who didn't let go of Paul's hand at all.
"I thought I was going to lose Paul, sob... I almost went crazy, Anne," Linda said quietly, tears still streaming down her face.
"Don't talk nonsense. Remember, Linda, speech is a prayer. You don't want God to hear what comes from your lips, right?" Anne replied curtly.
"Of course not, Anne!!!"
Again, Linda cried loudly enough and made Anne smile. She did not want to disturb Linda. She knew that her best friend must be still in shock right now, so Anne chose to calm her down. Seeing Linda continue to cry made her feel stressed too.
Since Paul was allowed to go home after he was conscious, Anne then decided to pay for his treatment. She couldn't have let Linda pay. Anne did not want to burden her anymore and because Anne did not carry enough cash, she ended up paying using a debit card which made the transaction read by Jack directly. Jack deliberately linked the notification of Anne's use of money directly to his cell phone without Anne's knowledge.
After settling the payment, Paul was already conscious. He was able to communicate well and intended to go straight home, especially after knowing that Anne paid the hospital fees. He didn't want to bother Anne too much, even though Anne forbade him to go home first.
Finally, Anne couldn't do anything because Paul and Linda still insisted on going home. After taking care of the rest of the administration that had to be done, Anne then took Paul and Linda to go from St Mary's Hospital to Linda's apartment by taxi again. And when the taxi used by Anne and her friends left the hospital area, a car appeared to enter St. Mary's Hospital area. It turned out to be Aaron's car that Daniel was driving. Apparently, Daniel managed to find Anne's whereabouts by tracking the taxi that Anne had previously taken to go to the hospital. But they could not meet her, because Anne had left the hospital with Linda and Paul, who had previously crossed paths with her in front of the hospital grounds.
