Chapter 9: Seeing a ghost
Christian entered Ashley's ward, payment receipt and medication in hand, only to be met with an empty bed. His heart sank, panic gripping him as he frantically scanned the room.
"She had been asleep just minutes ago. Where was she now?"
With a frustrated growl, he slammed his fist on the bedside table, making the nurse who had just rushed in flinch.
"Is she awake now, sir?" she asked, her eyes darting around the room in confusion.
"Where's the woman who was on this bed?" Christian's voice was low, edged with barely contained fury.
The nurse hesitated, her bewildered expression only fueling Christian's frustration.
"I... I don't know, sir. I left her here to attend to other patients. She was still asleep when I did."
"Ashley!" Christian called searching the large room.
He yanked open the in-built toilet door, but it was empty. His anger morphed into frustration as he raked a hand through his hair. The nurse watched in confusion.
"So, you're telling me that in a hospital this equipped, patients can just vanish into thin air?" he gritted.
