Celeste lost her cool. Without thinking, she closed the door and rushed to the hospital.
She felt uneasy in the taxi. “Mister, can you please go Easter? I’m in a hurry.”
The driver said with resignment. “I’m already going very fast, miss. Safety comes first!”
Worry was written across her face. She gripped tightly to the edges of her shirt as fear and a sense of foreboding washed over her.
After a pause, she pulled out her phone and quickly called Wayne. Wayne’s gentle voice came through the receiver, asking, “Hello, Celeste. What’s up?”
“Mr. Tanner, is my mother still in the hospital? How is she doing? Did anything happen?”

“I–I don’t know.” Not knowing what was going on, the nurse was dumbfounded as Celeste yelled at her.
Celeste paled. What should she do if anything happened to Miranda? She tried hard to calm down. “Where’s your Head of Department? I want to see him.” Soon, a man in his 40s hurried over. He wore a white robe and a pair of glasses.
“Ms. Hart, I’m the head of this department, Joel Lynch. May I know why you want to meet me?” Joel sounded impatient.

Celeste composed herself. She asked coldly, “Dr. Lynch, I’m Miranda Hilton’s family. May I know why the hospital didn’t get my consent before transferring her to another hospital? I need an explanation, and you must find out where my mother has been transferred to.”
Upon hearing that, Joel answered impassively, “Excuse me, Ms. Hart. We only agreed to transfer the patient because that person had documents to prove he was the patient’s family.”
