Chapter 269: We need to find Mathew.
At Nicholas’s office...
The atmosphere was tense as Nicholas asked coldly, "Did you find where Doctor Fisher is?"
Since that incident of Thomas’ surgery, Mathew Fisher had resigned from the city hospital and left the city without a trace. Nicholas had been looking for him to interrogate him to see if he was involved with Lydia, but there had been no success until now.
Alex swallowed hard, shaking his head. "We are still searching for him. But we have uncovered something significant." He stepped closer, pulling out his phone and sliding it across the desk toward Nicholas.
"I went to find him in his hometown and found this photo," he added.
Nicholas’s brows furrowed slightly as he picked up the device. The screen displayed a grainy graduation photo. In it, a younger Lydia stood in the center, her radiant smile drawing attention. Next to her, among the group, was a familiar face—Mathew Fisher.
"I see," he mumbled.
"There is more," Alex continued, pulling out a folder and placing it on the desk. "His phone records show he contacted Lydia on the day of the incident."
"Hmm..." Nicholas nodded slowly, his sharp gaze lingering on the phone before handing it back to Alex.
Thoughts churned in his mind as fragments of the memory resurfaced. He vividly remembered how Mathew had initially refused to perform the surgery, only to change his mind later.
At the time, Nicholas hadn’t thought of any conspiracy behind it. He assumed Dylan had overreacted by accusing Mathew and dismissed Ava’s concern. Now, however, suspicion began to creep into his mind.
