Despite the commotion from the fight, surprisingly, no one else in the hospital seemed to be aware.
Aside from the undercover officers Elliot had sent for protection, Svelton General Hospital was known for its excellent security measures.
The fact that such an incident occurred indicated that there might be insiders within the hospital, suggesting the mastermind had considerable power.
This matter needed to be thoroughly investigated!
Elliot suppressed his rage and instructed the plain-clothes officers stationed at the hospital to remain cautious and not reveal their identities. Moreover, they were to utilize the hospital's security to block off certain areas.
After hanging up the phone, he instructed Lance, "Handle the investigation of the baby formula case. I'm heading back to the hospital."
Lance nodded. "Understood, Mr. Jenkins. I'll prepare reinforcements from the National Investigation Bureau and await your further instructions."
Elliot did not say much.
He took the keys to his luxury car from Lance and walked away from the entrance of the National Investigation Bureau, getting behind the wheel himself.
On his way back to the hospital, Elliot remained busy.
He used the built-in Bluetooth headset in his car to call Nathaniel.
After all, he needed Asher to be looked after by someone familiar and trustworthy, and after much consideration, Elliot decided to trouble Nathaniel, Asher's godfather.
Although Elliot did not explicitly mention what had happened over the phone, Nathaniel sensed that something was amiss.
"Wasn't Nana supposed to be watching over Asher at the hospital? Why are you asking me to check on him?"
With one hand on the steering wheel, Elliot's expression turned serious as he drove, choosing not to respond to Nathaniel's question immediately.
Sensing Elliot's unusual aura, Nathaniel pressed on, "Has something happened to Nana? Don't hide it from me. I'm also worried about the baby formula incident."
Elliot thought for a while and replied, "Nana is missing. I've asked them to check on the surveillance. If she's not at the hospital, I suspect she was abducted."
After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Nathaniel's tone grew serious and urgent.
"Where are you now? Have you returned to the hospital? I'll come over right away."
After ending the call, Elliot pondered the entire situation as he anxiously drove into the hospital garage.
Moreover, the crime was meticulously planned, indicating the identity of the perpetrators must be of significant importance.
Besides, Sheena was in their hands.
If things were blown out of proportion, and the abductors killed or hurt her, Elliot feared he might lose control and unleash chaos upon the entire underworld.
The group quickly relocated, following Elliot back to the baby ward.
The room was messy, and the few-month-old Asher had been returned to his crib.
Despite having been fed from the bottle, he continued to whimper weakly, appearing extremely pitiful. It was as if he knew his mommy had been abducted, worrying so much that tears were rolling down his cheeks.
Elliot scooped Asher into his arms, comforting him patiently while his gaze swept across the room, observing the traces of the brawl.
He knew Sheena's skills best. While she may have lacked physical strength, her agility and quick reflexes were her strengths, enabling her to swiftly subdue opponents.
The chaos in the room suggested that the fight had been ongoing for some time, which did not align with Sheena's usual style of confrontation.
Something about this situation seemed odd.
