Chapter 28: Help Me Keep Watch

“It’s the relationship Mr. Alpha was thinking about.” I smiled at him without a care, then turned and walked out.
After going through a surgery that requires my full attention, I just wanted to go back and have a good sleep. I didn’t want to be entangled with Alpha anymore!
“Boss, isn’t the ghost doctor too good at escaping? We have so many people guarding her, but she managed to escape right under our noses!” On the way back to the company, the bodyguard in black who drove Alpha could not help but mention this.
Alpha looked at the scenery outside the window calmly and said, “Not necessarily.”
“So the information is wrong?” The bodyguard in black continued.
“There are only three possibilities for the failure of our operation today. Firstly, the intel was wrong. The ghost doctor is not a woman with golden hair and black eyes, and she didn’t even appear here. Secondly, the ghost doctor escaped at the end of her operation. Thirdly, the woman named Luna is the ghost doctor,” Alpha stroked his chin and deduced seriously.
“Boss, the first two are possible, but that woman named Luna…”
The bodyguard in black had a complicated expression. He hesitated and said, “I’ve investigated her. She dropped out of school midway and has a bad reputation. She was once extremely fat, it seems like she only had her current looks after plastic surgery overseas. This kind of person can’t be a ghost doctor, right…”
Recalling the woman’s eloquent, sly, confident manner every time she met him, Alpha didn’t comment on that, interrupting his subordinate’s nagging. “Focus on driving.”
On the other hand, “Winnie, Mommy went to sleep the moment she came back. Where do you think she went?” Nicole leaned against the balcony railing and looked outside.
She really wanted to go out and play! Whether it was going to that father’s house or going out to play with other children, it was fine as long as she was not cooped up at home!
Winnie flipped a page on her book and saw through Nicole’s thoughts. She said coolly, “Mommy came back with the golden needle. She must have gone to save someone.”
“Oh!” Nicole responded with a heavy sound. She looked at the pink skateboard in the corner of the balcony and suddenly begged pitifully, “My good Winnie, I want to go out and play. Can you help me stay at home and keep watch? If Mom wakes up, quickly call me back.”
“No!” Winnie firmly rejected it. She looked helplessly at Nicole, who was trying to gain her sympathy by acting cute. She gently persuaded, “Mommy said that it’s very dangerous outside. There will be bad people taking you away!”
“I don’t believe you! Forget it if you don’t want me to go out and play!” Nicole pursed her lips and silently retracted her gaze.
Winnie was relieved and continued reading.
It didn’t take long for Winnie to feel thirsty, but she was so absorbed in the story that was illustrated in the book that she didn’t look up. “Nicole, can you get me a glass of water?”
However, no one answered.
Only then did Winnie look up to find the house empty. Nicole had disappeared along with the pink bike on the balcony.
Oh no! Nicole must have sneaked out to play! Winnie’s eyes narrowed and she got up, wanting to call Nicole back.
After quietly leaving the house, Nicole happily brought her bicycle into the elevator.
She smoothly made her way down to the first floor with the bicycle. Seeing the warm sunlight outside, Nicole stepped on her bike and attempted to cycle out.
Just as Nicole was happily looking forward to the upcoming playtime, she was suddenly carried up.
Alpha picked up Nicole and looked at the little boy with short golden hair who was wearing a sports suit. He asked in confusion, “Noelle, are you done with your equestrian lesson?”
Seeing that she was Alpha, Nicole blinked and acted cute. “Daddy, I was just about to look for you to play!”
