Xante sighed. "It wasn't us, boss. He crashed into a glass door himself and broke it. The doctor says he has a mild concussion and he's still unconscious as we speak."
The corners of Corinne's mouth started twitching. 'Seems like the reason Sunny's still alive until now is 'cause his family protected him very well. It's no wonder Lucas keeps such a close eye on him. Sunny does give the vibe of easily dying if no one is watching over him.'
"Okay. I understand the situation now. Keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn't run around when he wakes up. I'll be at the hospital soon."
"Don't worry, boss. You can certainly count on me."
After hanging up the phone, Corinne turned to look at Ghostlord. She had a change of heart. 'It would be unethical of me to take off his mask. I mean, he's unconscious and the number one fear of a hacker is for other people to find out their identity.'
She decided it was in her best interest to keep Ghostlord's identity a mystery since he was her idol after all. 'I should make a move to the hospital to see how Sunny is doing.'
Corinne walked over to Ghostlord to look for his phone so that she could inform his family to pick him up but she came up empty-handed. After thinking about it, she asked room service to bring her some anti-hangover medicine.
She fed the medicine to the still-unconscious Ghostlord and waited for a while for it to take effect before checking his pulse again to make sure he was okay. 'He should be fine,' she thought before leaving the room.
She checked herself into another room on another floor. There she undressed herself, took a shower, changed into her normal clothes, and made her move to the hospital. While waiting for the elevator to reach her floor, she checked her phone for the hospital address Xante sent her and discovered it was not too far away.
Ding!
Besides, she came up with a Plan B and that was to look into the Lovelace family. However, due to her recent low mood, she did not find the time to visit Edgar and Gertrude. Meaning to say, she made no progress in finding out the truth about her mother's disappearance.
"Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about when you're the one who engineered a fake run-in with me in this hotel," said Lucas with a mocking smile.
Corinne frowned and looked at Lucas with a hint of disbelief on her face.
"You're reading too much into this, Mister Lucas. It just so happens I'm staying at this hotel too."
"It just so happens eh?" Lucas chuckled drily. "As if I would be foolish enough to believe that it was only a coincidence that we just so happen to run into each other in another city."
