Only part of that security footage was available, and Gabe had seen Ryan on it. At that time, Wayne didnât know who Ryan was or what was wrong because Anna had just met him.
Almost everyone in that town had converted their homes into B&Bs. So, Wayne assumed back then that Ryan was just a college student visiting that town, and it was no surprise that he was staying at Leoâs place. However, as he gathered more evidence, he found that Ryan was there at a strange time. As a result, he was suspicious of him.
âI think this matter is quite serious. If this really has something to do with him, weâd better let the police handle it.â Gabe said.
Wayne answered, shaking his head, âNo, letâs talk about it later. You can work on your searching now.â
âWhy? Because Miss Gabriel would be worried about it?â
Wayne frowned tightly, but didnât answer the question. He asked, âHowâs that other thing youâre working on?â
He was talking about Lilly Johnson, who had previously claimed to be Matthewâs mother. He wanted to find her because his instinct told him that someone had told her to do so. He felt that if he didnât know what had happened, something bad might happen later.
Gabe said, âYes, | did find her. Sheâs recently been working as a call girl in a bar, She met a wealthy businessman some time ago and hasnât worked since. | believe she probably will come back to work soon.â
Gabe had no trouble finding her. He found that many women would not have the guts to do so, so he went to numerous bars and nightclubs in 332 Heâs Really Nice search of her. She had offended the Wrights, so she usually didnât go out during the day.
Recently, many nightclubs in Birmingham were closed because the police had found drug dens. Gabe instantly discovered Lily within one of them.
Wayne nodded seriously and said, âDonât forget to ask her whatâs really going on. You know what you should do then, donât you?â
Wayne hadnât been this enraged in a long time. Gabe winced, then immediately nodded and said, âYes, | do.â
Wayne was conflicted after Gabe left as he gazed at the screenshot in his hand. He had prevented Gabe from telling the cops about itnot just because of Anna but also because he didnât believe Ryan would murder anyone.
Ryan attended Ministry Academy, which had extremely strict restrictions. If they call the police, the police department would undoubtedly inform the principal of his school. That way, the principal would know that Ryan was working as a private detective and conducting unlawful investigations, which might get himself into huge trouble. Besides, Wayne thought he could directly ask Ryan about it.
After doing all his work, Wayne found that it was exactly 3:00 p.m. He reasoned that he could ask Ryan about what was happening before heading to the nursery.
Meanwhile, Emily was lying on the hospital bed, beaming Jennie and saying, âThank you, Aunt Jennie. Those oranges are so delicious.â
Jennie was peeling an apple by the bedside at the time. âIâll buy you some more later,â she said cheerfully.
As for Ryan, he was sitting at an adjacent table, staring at his computer. He raised his head and asked, âYeah? Iâm worried about you, 332 Heâs Really Nice Emily. Youâve been eating too many oranges recently, and maybe youâll get constipated.â
Emily gave him a stern look and replied, âWhy are you speaking in this manner? Youâre just jealous that I can eat such delicious oranges! | wonât give you any of them!â
âOkay, mom, buy her some more oranges. If she becomes constipated, she can just go upstairs to the anorectal department, and you can still take care for her.â
Hearing that, Jennie glared at him and said, âHow can you talk to Emily like way, Ryan? Thatâs so rude.â
Emily lifted an eyebrow, then gave him a dismissive expression and exclaimed, âRight!â
Ryan closed his laptop after hearing Jennie speak up for Emily. He said, âIt appears that Iâm an eye-sore here. So, Iâm going to leave right now.â
Emily asked, âWhat? Where are you going?â
âAre you asking me? | think both of you think Iâm annoying. You see, my mother even treats you like sheâs your mother. | wonât come here again. Bye!â
Emily looked panicked and yelled, âNo! | was only kidding with you.â
When Jennie realized how badly Emily wanted Ryan to stay, she laughed and said, âDonât make fun of Emily anymore, Ryan.
Youâve known each other for a long time, so you must know her better than | do. She thought youâre being serious.â
Emily froze. And Ryan burst out laughing. Then he lifted his chin ina condescending gesture, saying, âNo, sheâs quite silly. Ill attend a meeting tonight at the school about the new equipment. What do you want to eat 332 Heâs Really Nice tomorrow morning? Send me a message later, Emily.â
Emily realized at that point that Ryan was just joking with her. She pouted her lips, then couldnât help but laugh. After Ryan left, Emily was still giggling, so Jennie sighed and asked, âYou really like him, donât you?â
Emily touched her hair shyly, and then said, âYes, | think heâs really nice and cute.â
Jennie gave her an apple, âI think youâre probably the only one who think that way. Come on, have an apple. Iâm not going to buy you oranges, dear. Iâll get you something else to eat tonight.â
Emily exclaimed joyfully, âOf course! | like everything you give me.
Seeing her reaction, Jennie shook her head and laughed Ryan had just left the hospital when he noticed Wayne waiting in the parking lot. He froze, realizing he didnât have time to dodge the way. Ryan had no choice but to approach him and ask, âWhat are you doing here, Wayne? Anna is not here right now.â
Wayne looked at him and said, âNo, Iâm not here to see her. Actually, | wanted to talk to you about something,â
Ryan tightened his grasp on his computer bag before asking, âWhat is itâ
Wayne was just about to speak when he suddenly realized that many people were around them. He knew it was not a good place for having a serious conversation, so he asked, âWhere do you want to go? Let me drive you there.â
Ryan signed with relief, then replied, âIâm going to school.â
Seeing that Wayne was fairly calm, Ryan knew that Wayne didnât talk to him because he knew they had the same mother. And he felt 332 Heâs Really Nice relieved.
Wayne replied, nodding, âLetâs go then. My cars in the parking lot.â
The two of them then strolled together to the parking lot. Theyâd only taken a few steps when the hospital gate opened.
At first glance, Jennie stepped out to see Ryan and finally shouted, Ryan.â Then Ryan and Wayne both came to a halt and looked back at the same time.
