Every department had its own designated cleaning statt. Nurses like Tittany were quite close to the cleaning staff. She winked, elaborating, “That’s Rosario, She resigned because her daughter–in–law had a baby, and she wanted to look after her grandson ”
Melody swapped glances with Hamid, and her heart sank. She asked again, “When did she quit?”
“I can’t recall, but it was probably around the same when you were on suspension “Tiffany wore an expression of disbelief. “Mel, you’re not doubting her, are you? I don’t think she’s the one we’re looking for. She was sich a nice lady.
More to the point, she came from the outskirts. She’s honest and well–behaved Let’s not forget that she was also the most hardworking cleaning staff here.”
Harold chuckled, asking. “Why don’t you explain what she’s doing at the orthopedics department, then?”
Melody didn’t say anything. Instead, she pulled up the anthopedics department’s security footage on the screen and started going through it meticulously, not missing out on a single detail.
Then, the screen froze on a trame that showed Rosario Garcia talking to a man. He was skinny and tall, wearing a flat cap that obscured his face.

Jeremy’s expression darkened, and his eyebrows lautted subtly the moment Melody walked over. “Did you have liquor?”
She responded slowly, “I didn’t Achild accidentally spilled beer on me during dinner.”
Harold and Tittany helped her out. Naturally, she had to buy them dinner, which was why she returned home a little later than usual.
The liquor stench on Melody was too strong. Moreover, her eyes were focused. By all accounts, it didn’t seem like she had had liquor. kremy looked at Melody, saying, “I don’t like the stenchud liquor.”
She stopped dead in her tracks, recalling the fact that he was a bit of

Jeremy stated at her in response. Not even the bright glow from the street lamp could hide the brewing storm in his eyes.
“Sult yourself.” He said and purmed around to enter the elevator.
