    **Chapter 424: Visiting the Hospital**


    With a yful wink, she gestured toward the crumpled bills tucked away in her pocket.


    “Keep it. If wee back with more questions, I hope you’ll be willing to help us again.”


    “Of course, of course!” the woman replied, a hand patting her chest as if to assure them of her sincerity.


    Lyra’s lips curled into a smile as she grasped Tess’s hand, eager to leave the awkward atmosphere behind.


    “So, let me get this straight. Nichs and his entire family have moved out, and only one child has remained?”


    As they rounded the corner, the street empty of passersby, Lyra squinted, her curiosity piqued.


    “Henry’s actually more ruthless than I ever imagined,” she mused, her brow furrowing slightly.


    Tess let out a snort of disbelief. It was hardly surprising that Henry felt invincible, confident that no one would dare expose his lies.


    “So, what’s our next move? Are we really going to hunt down Nichs’s son?”


    Lyra turned her gaze to Tess, her eyes searching for a hint of reassurance.


    “Where do we even begin? There are countless good students in Krigan; it feels like an impossible task. Maybe we should just wait until school’s out and then keep an eye on his ce.”


    Lyra nodded thoughtfully, her mind racing. “It’s still early in the day. How about we visit the hospital where Nichs’s wife gave birth first? That might give us some leads.”


    Tess’s agreement came instantly, her enthusiasm palpable.


    They hailed a taxi and made their way directly to Krigan Primal Hospital, the building looming ahead as they arrived.


    As soon as they stepped out of the cab, Lyra took the lead, guiding Tess toward the security monitoring room with a sense of purpose.


    Tess felt a wave of confusion wash over her as she watched Lyra move with such ease and confidence, her mind racing to catch up as they entered the surveince room.


    “Hi, is there any chance we could check the security footage from over ten years ago?” Lyra asked, shing a charming smile at the staff member who regarded them with a skeptical eye.


    The staff member, clearly on edge, nervously rested his hand on the phone, as if ready to call for backup. “Who are you two? You do realize this area is restricted, right?”


    “The recordings from ten years ago are stored on tapes in the archives. I hope you’ll leave soon and not disturb our work,” the lead female staff member, Wendy, said sternly, though she couldn’t help but provide a bit of information.


    “Wendy, why are you wasting time talking to them?” another staff member interjected, ring at them. “If you don’t leave now, we’ll have to call security!”


    Tess, undeterred by the threat, kept her gaze locked on Wendy, who had spoken to them earlier. The respect the other staff showed her indicated her importance in this ce.


    “Hello, I need ess to the surveince footage from your hospital’s maternity ward dated June 7th, 16 years ago,” Tess stated, her voice steady as she looked at Wendy, hope shining in her eyes.


    Wendy had initially dismissed Tess as just another intruder, but the earnestness in her expression made her hesitate, lowering her defenses just a fraction.


    Still, she shook her head firmly. “Unless we receive approval from higher-ups, we cannot release any surveince footage. Sharing it with outsiders could lead to privacy vitions and other serious risks.”


    A wave of frustration washed over Tess. She realized she had put them in a precarious position; her initial n had been to sneak into the surveince room and conduct her own investigation.


    Before arriving in Krigan, she had secretly picked up a few tricks from Raven, which made her feel somewhat prepared.


    Unexpectedly, Lyra had boldly pulled her into the room, taking charge in a way Tess hadn’t anticipated.


    Tess turned to Lyra, seeking guidance.


    But Lyra remainedpletelyposed, rifling through her bag with calm determination.


    She produced a document, holding it aloft for everyone to see.


    “Now?”


    As the bold letters on the document caught their attention, the expressions on the staff members’ faces shifted dramatically, their shock evident as they stared at Lyra and Tess.


    Wendy’s demeanor hardened. “You…”


    “Can we see it now?” Lyra interjected, her voice firm.


    After Lyra tucked the document away, Wendy took a moment to gather herself, her face now tense and her eyes serious. “Normally, we need approval from higher-ups. Do you have a moment? I’ll go report this. They usually won’t refuse.”


    Lyra and Tess exchanged a quick nce, then gestured for her to proceed. “Go ahead.”


    Wendy walked off with purpose, her high heels clicking sharply against the floor, a sound that echoed in the otherwise quiet space.


    Momentster, she returned, apanied by an elderly woman who moved with small, quick steps.


    “Hello, this is our current hospital director, Patricia Sinir. She insisted on weing you herself after I briefed her about your request.”


    Wendy offered a slight nod to them, her expression still wary.


    Tess and Lyra remainedposed, their anticipation barely contained.


    “May I ask the purpose of your visit?” Patricia inquired, her voice steady.


    Though she appeared frail, even a bit hunched, her eyes were sharp and piercing, revealing a keen intelligence.


    “We can’t disclose that right now. However, since I’ve already shown you my identification, we would appreciate your full cooperation,” Tess replied, her tone firm yet respectful.


    Lyra shook her head slightly, sensing the tension in the air.


    “I see…”


    Patricia didn’t press further. “Follow me. The archive room is restricted. Wendy, please wait for us here.”


    She shot a stern nce at Wendy before leading Tess and Lyra directly to the archive room.


    As the door swung open, they were greeted by a heavy, musty odor—the unmistakable scent of a room long sealed off from the outside world.


    Rows upon rows of records and documents were meticulously sealed andbeled on the shelves, each one holding secrets of the past waiting to be uncovered.Conclusion
