Chapter 705 Government Official Grace shook her head and said, "I've met with Reina. She ratted you out." Upon hearing this, Celia stumbled back in anger and shock.

"That's impossible. I told you, I didn't do it." "Is that so? Then Reina lied. I'll have the police interrogate her again." Grace calmly deceived her and watched her crumble in confusion and anxiety.

Celia glared at her fiercely, her disgust intensifying.

"I'll have my lawyer tell you about the consequences of perjury." Grace finished speaking, feeling a bit annoyed, and walked to the smoking area by the window, lighting up a cigarette.

The cigarettes in her bag belonged to Xander. There was probably a mix-up when they met.

They were strong, but they brought a sense of calm.

Either way, the trust between Celia and Reina would take a severe hit.

A cornered mouse would surely make a big fuss.

As the lawyer finished reciting legal terms, Celia was on the edge of agitation, screaming, "Get out! I don't want to hear it!"

She ran out of the ward, only to bump into Victor, who was returning, holding a laptop and smiling. "Just got the surveillance footage from this corridor. Joshua left here fully conscious. Fractures? Concussion? Those sound like lies." His tone was calm, even gentle, but carried an indescribable sense of pressure.

Celia thought it was incredulous. "How did you..." "Besides being Grace's bodyguard, my main job is a programmer. The hospital's systems are a piece of cake for me." Victor smiled as he watched Celia grow even more agitated and desperate.

Before Celia could leave, Grace added, "Remember to ask Joshua how he plans to explain his fake illness to the police." Victor remarked as she approached, "You're smoking again." Grace adopted a stern posture, hooking his arm. "Tsk, Victor, I haven't seen you for a while. It seems you're getting better at acting. And you...

you seem different." Outside the elevator, Victor raised an eyebrow. "How different?" "Hmm..." Grace couldn't quite put it into words. "You feel more upbeat. You're not as boring as before." "Boring?" Victor chuckled, "That description fits Aaron better." a or

As they walked out the door, Grace suddenly caught a whiff of a familiar men's fragrance, faint but distinctive. She instinctively turned her head, only to see the fluttering coat disappearing at the stairwell. Wait for me in the car. I saw someone I know." It was Xander. That coat was custom-made, with no more than ten worldwide. He was the only man who owned one in this country.

This entire building housed VIP wards. Why would Xander be here? He hadn't mentioned anything about coming to the hospital today.

Without dwelling too much on it, Grace subconsciously followed.

If he didn't take the elevator, he must be going to a low floor.

With that in mind, she headed for the third floor. She saw several figures patrolling, sharp-eyed and imposing.

They weren't bodyguards. Grace could tell they were plainclothes officers at a glance.

She stopped in her tracks, pressed against the wall, not daring to continue upward. She guessed that the people residing on this floor's wards must be some government official.

That was strange. Who could Xander be visiting? "Ms. Lewis?" a voice came from below.
