Chapter 69
At the thought of Miranda, Celeste could no longer hold her tears back. What s
What should she do now? should she tell Julian and get his help?
But she’d cut ties with him. Besides, if Ethan really did something to Miranda…
At that moment, Michael had just had dinner and returned to the hospital. He saw Celeste sitting by the entrance. Stunned, he recognized her and noticed she was crying.
What happened to her? Instead of greeting her and showing concern, he silently headed into the hospital.
He had heard a lot about Julian and Celeste’s relationship from Marcus these few days. Celeste must’ve been at the hospital because of Miranda.
If he remembered correctly, Miranda was under the care of the Neurology department. With that in mind, he came to the Neurology department counter. “Has the patient in ward 203 been unwell today?”
The nurse stared at Michael’s dashing face in a daze. Snapping back to her senses, she replied, “Hm? Are you talking about Miranda Hilton, Dr. Callaway? She’s been fine, but her family transferred her to another hospital this afternoon.”
Michael frowned. “Transferred?”
The nurse nodded. She prattled, “That’s right! Her daughter came and made a fuss, saying she was her mother’s only family. She said she didn’t consent to the transfer and wanted an explanation from the hospital.”
Michael’s brow furrowed further, and his lips pressed tightly together. Then, he asked, “What happened next?”
“Then, Dr. Lynch came. He said she was being unreasonable and was disturbing the other patients. He got the guards to evict her. I don’t know the details.” Before the nurse could finish, Michael tumed to leave.
“Hey, wait up! Dr. Callaway, don’t go. Can you give me your number? I’ll tell you if anything happens. The nurse stared after him, lovestruck.
Michael ignored her. He coolly left the department and called Julian.
Julian had just seen Henry and Mariana off. He was about to return to his study to work when his phone rang. He answered it. “Hello.”
“Julian, guess who I met at the hospital again.”
Again? Julian frowned. “What’s wrong? Why is she at the hospital?” was Celeste sicle Did something happen?
“Calm down. Celeste is fine, but someone else has transferred her mother to another hospital. She made a scene here and was removed by the guards,”
As Julian listened to him, his expression became increasingly grim.
“I saw her crying at the entrance just now.” Michael clicked his tongur. “How pitifull”

Right after he said that, Jullan ended the call. Without hesitation, he picked up his coat and car keys before leaving the Clutching his phone, Michael laughed. With the overprotective Julian in the picture, there was nothing he couldn’t solve.
Celeste cried at the entrance for some time. Then, she wiped her tears and got up. She couldn’t continue being like this. She must get herself together. At that thought, she called the police.
It was illegal for Ethan to take Miranda away. If anything happened to her, Ethan would have had to bear the responsibility
She would never find Miranda on her own. Now, her only hope was to make a big fuss out of this.
Soon, the police came and asked her all about it.
She said, “Sir, my mom’s whereabouts are unknown. Please help me find her as soon as possib

The officer frowned after listening to her. Apologetically, he said, “I’m sorry, Ms. Hart. She’s only been missing for less than 24 hours. We can’t take any action.” Celeste’s heart sank at his words. There was no telling what Ethan would do to Miranda after 24 hours. No, she dared not wait any longer.
