When Evadne changed into a set of medical scrubs, put on a thick mask, and pulled her hair into a neat ponytail, Jason was stunned.


    Even though he couldn''t see her beautiful face, her sharp, capable aura was undeniably captivating. In the deepening twilight, her bright eyes shone like a gxy, so mesmerizing that it felt like one could get lost in them.<fn4d71> This content belongs to find(?)ovel</fn4d71>


    "What are you staring at? Never seen me before?" Evadne asked, amused by Jason''s dazed expression. She could tell his admiration was purely tonic.


    "No, it''s not that... I just think that even with only your eyes showing, you still look amazing, Ms. Evadne," Jason said, scratching his head in embarrassment. He then asked curiously, "Is this how you looked when you were with Doctors Without Borders in Country L?"


    Evadne adjusted her uniform. "More or less."


    A thought suddenly struck Jason. "I heard Mr. Thaddeus was also stationed in Country L for a special forces mission. It''s not a big country. Do you think you ever met him back then?"


    Evadne''s hands stilled, and the little finger on her left hand, still numb from her injury, twitched faintly. "I don''t think so," she said, her voice tinged with a hidden sorrow. "If we had, he would have recognized me, wouldn''t he?"


    Jason''s heart ached for her. He felt there was a heavy secret she was carrying, and her words wereced with a deep sense of regret.


    ...


    Before she left, Jason insisted Evadne also wear a surgical cap. Ms. Evadne''s radiance was hard to conceal, and the more covered she was, the safer she would be.


    Fully disguised, Evadne tried to slip in through the back of the hospital. To her surprise, the dpidated building, which looked deserted, had guards at both the front and back entrances. From their professional stance, she knew they weren''t police; they were Alexia''s men.


    That only confirmed her suspicions: this ce was hiding something dark.


    Evadne hid in the bushes to observe. in the She quickly noticed that everyone entering had to show identification Security was tight. Just as she was wondering what to do next, she saw a male nurse step out for a smoke break in a secluded spot.


    Evadne narrowed her eyes. An idea took shape.


    Fifteen minutester, she had an ess card, and an unconscious man was lying in the bushes.


    Inside, Evadne grabbed a utility cart toplete her disguise and began walking down the corridors. She didn''t know where John was being held and wasn''t naive enough to think she could rescue him atone tonight. This was purely à reconnaissance mission


    Taking a deep breath, she passed by room after room. To her horror, she realized that every patient here was critically H. Men, women, the elderly, even children-ally listlessly


    Yon


    filthy beds. There were no life-saving machines, only simple IV drips, and she had no idea what was in them. As a doctor, she could tell at a nce that these people didn''t have long to live.


    Why were they all gathered here? It didn''t look like they were being treated. It looked like they were being left to die.


    Filled with suspicion, Evadne gritted her teeth and discreetly pulled out her phone to record what she was seeing.


    "Hey! You, up front!"


    A harsh voice from behind made her heart leap into her throat.


    Forcing herself to remain calm, she turned to see a security guard in a ck suit approaching, eyeing her suspiciously. "I haven''t seen you around before. Are you new?"


    Although Evadne was covered from head to toe, there weren''t many female staff in the hospital, so a new face stood out.


    "Hehe, yes, sir. I''m new," Evadne replied sweetly, her eyes crinkling into a smile. "With more patientsing in, Ms. Alexia transferred me over to help out."


    "Oh, is that so?"
