Chapter 26: Authority? No!
"Searching for hospitals? Was she ill before? Do you know anything about that?" Vernon asked her with his brows knitted.
Helena shook her head, "No. She is not. I got all my mother’s recent health reports and confirmed it. So there is nothing wrong with her health."
Vernon nodded. "If it’s not her, then someone else she knows was sick? Do you know anyone who is close to her but has been away?"
If it was someone Helena knew, then if that person was sick, she would find it around the same time as her mother.
Also, Helena’s mother wouldn’t have to search through the hospitals for that person.
So it should be someone who was away, and Helena’s mom recently found out about that person’s condition through other channels and started searching for that person.
Helena sighed and shook her head, "I thought the same as well. I looked through all our relatives’ names and even her previous classmates to see if there was anything wrong with any of them. But nothing. I am also at my wit’s end right now."
Vernon frowned. He slowly raised his hand and placed it on her hand. He gently patted her as he tried to console her, "It’s okay. Everything will be alright. We will find what or who she was searching for. I will help as well. Don’t stress yourself too much about this matter."
Helena smiled weakly at him. "I know what you are saying. If she was just searching for someone, I wouldn’t be in a hurry either. But what if..." She sighed and brought some strength to herself before continuing, "What if that person was in some serious condition and my mom was trying to help that person get treatment? If I am late and something were to happen to that person..."
She did not finish her sentence. But both of them knew what she intended to say.
Vernon frowned. Yes, she was right. Since her mother was searching for that person in hospitals, that person should be ill. What if they found that person too late and it wouldn’t be possible to help with the treatment?
